Lord Peter Wimsey: BBC Radio Drama Collection Volume 1

Three classic full-cast dramatisations

De: Dorothy L. Sayers

Narrado por: Ian Carmichael, Peter Jones

Ian Carmichael stars as Lord Peter Wimsey in these definitive BBC radio dramatisations of Dorothy L Sayers' classic crime novels.

Aristocratic amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey was the master creation of Dorothy L Sayers, widely acknowledged as one of the four original 'Queens of Crime'. These full-cast adaptations - first broadcast on BBC radio in the 1970s, and presented here in their entirety - are admired by fans of the genre worldwide.

Whose Body? is the tale that first introduced Lord Peter to the world, and sees him investigating the case of a corpse in a Battersea bathtub and a vanished oil millionaire.

In Clouds of Witness, Lord Peter's eldest brother stands accused of murder. In collaboration with Inspector Parker, Wimsey slowly uncovers a web of lies and deceit within his own family....

Unnatural Death finds Peter probing the mysterious death of an elderly lady. He suspects foul play, and with the help of the indomitable Miss Climpson, sets about his investigations in deepest Hampshire....

Produced by Simon Brett (author of the Charles Paris series), these acclaimed dramas also feature Peter Jones, Patricia Routledge, Miriam Margolyes and Garard Green.

love these

A lot of fun! Great cast, excellent performance - good stories. The production quality is excellent.

Lord Peter at his best

Excellent BBC Cast performs three early Lord Peter novels. Exceedingly well done. Great to hear Ian Carmichael in main role

Nothing better!

BBC adaptations are a great listen, especially the dramatic mystery series originally written by the greats!

A Must Listen for All Lord Peter Wimsey Fans

This volume 1 contains 3 separate Lord Peter stories. I believe they are all abridged to some extent but done in an excellent manner such that the story flows easily. The characters and voices are most enjoyable. I got a kick out of Patricia Rutledge , of the BBC s "Keeping Up Appearances" and "Hetty Wainthrop Investigetes", who voices Lord Peter's mother.

loved it. definitely getting the series

wonderful performance and cozy mysteries. I just finished and am starting the next one immediately

All audiobooks should be this good!

Excels in every category. Great stories dramatized by engaging and convincing actors. Can't wait to listen to volume 2.

For fans of old traditional murder Mysteries

Wonderful BBC radio productions of three of Lord Peter Wimsey tales by Dorothy Sayers

Loved It!

Loved every one of these stories and will purchase all the volumes. Ian Carmichael is the marvelous thread that strings them all together though all of the narrators are excellent.

Good "read"

If you enjoy radio dramas, with sound effects and musical interludes I recommend this version of Lord Peter Whimsy. The musical interludes are louder than the narration, both can be easily skipped over. Still a good price of 3 books for one credit. And I enjoyed listen to the 3 books.

Fun blast into the past

It’s always so fun to go back in time with these amazing radio performances by Ian Carmichael, Peter Jones, Patricia Rutledge and all the rest. Sayer’s writing was always a treat and you find yourself right in the mystery with them!
