Publisher's summary
Eight BBC Radio crime dramas featuring Golden Age detective Gideon Fell, starring Donald Sinden.
With his cape, canes and shovel hat, portly amateur sleuth Dr Gideon Fell cuts an eccentric figure - but his odd appearance belies his sharp intellect and astonishing faculty for deduction. Created by crime novelist John Dickson Carr and supposedly based on fellow author G. K. Chesterton, Dr Fell appeared in 23 novels between 1933 and 1967. This radio collection comprises all eight of the BBC adaptations based on Carr's best-selling books.
The Hollow Man - Dr Gideon Fell becomes embroiled in an intriguing locked room mystery when an illusionist threatens an eminent professor.
The House in Gallows Lane - 1936, and the peace of a small English village is disrupted by a mysterious death in this captivating drama adapted from the novel Till Death Do Us Part.
To Wake the Dead - On the eve of King George VI's coronation, a woman is murdered in a grand London hotel. But this death is not the first of its kind....
The Blind Barber - When a brutal killing takes place on an ocean liner, the engraving on the murder weapon provides a vital clue.
The Black Spectacles - Three people witness a murder, yet none of them can agree about what they have seen.
The Mad Hatter Mystery - A young journalist is found murdered at Traitors' Gate in fog-bound London, a crossbow through his heart and a top hat on his head.
He Who Whispers - Dr Fell becomes involved in a seemingly supernatural murder, in which the victim was found entirely alone at the top of an isolated medieval tower in France.
Below Suspicion - The stifling respectability of a South London suburb is rocked by a spate of ruthless poisonings - and as Fell investigates, he uncovers a sinister black magic cult....
Donald Sinden stars as Gideon Fell, with John Hartley as Superintendent Hadley. Among the supporting casts are Nigel Davenport, Wendy Craig, Patrick Allen, Andrew Wincott and James Fleet.
Written by John Dickson Carr.
Dramatised by Peter Ling.
Produced and directed by Enyd Williams.

Kidnappers grabbed Jenna in broad daylight, right in front of her children and their horrified classmates. Her family was issued an insane ransom demand: $25 million in cash and jewels, payable by the end of the school day, otherwise they’ll never see her again. As Jenna’s mother scrambles to gather the money, detectives Mo Butler and George Ortega follow the trail of the kidnappers, which will lead them through a sordid landscape of jealous lovers, broken dreamers, and twisted schemers.

It was 1970 in a defeated Rhode Island fishing town. Vietnam and Nixon dominated the national news. Both the near and distant future looked bleak. But they were five inseparable high school friends with something incredible in common: an unwavering resolve to look after each other no matter what hell life threw at them. And they were on a mission. The plan was simple: Go off the grid before they turned 18 to avoid the draft. They’d sell some grass, stack some cash, then head west and start a commune. What could possibly go wrong?

Two years ago, the McGregors' daughter Elodie was abducted and then died in that playhouse. The townspeople insist her abductor had to be a stranger in their town. Alban refuses to knock the playhouse down, even keeping a picture of it on his wall.

Enjoyed this a lot. The actors are good, esp the lead charactors, For the most part the voices match the characters.. There is occasionally a little confusion w plots. There is a lot of jumping from past to present in some storylines.

poor adaptations
I've read several of these in original form and in their adapting them to play form they have left out small but important points which are key to whether the solution makes sense. I recommend reading these stories instead of listening to them in this format.

The Delightful Dr. Fell
Such a great listen! John Dickson Carr has been unfairly overlooked for a long time. He's a member of that golden age of mystery that includes Christie and Sayers, with his stories being notorious in the genre of "locked room mysteries." In this collection of stories, the ingenious Dr. Fell is portrayed by the wonderful British actor, Donald Sinden. He gives the role a great deal of humor, intelligence, and charm. And the supporting casts are equally talented. This is a fun production with intriguing and engaging mysteries, skilled performers, and thoroughly enjoyable scripts.

Enjoyable
I have always been a fan of John Dickson Carr and really thought I was getting treasure when downloading this collection. Donald Sinden is excellent! However, the dramatization is missing some pieces of most of the stories. I found that the worst of the lot was "The House on Gallows Lane". I really wanted Cynthia to get her come uppings for her jealousy over Leslie. And I don't know what they did with "The Blind Barber".
Yet, I still enjoy these so much; they carry me through on my busiest days at work. I do, moreover, recommend reading the actual books if you want to fully immerse yourself in the world of John Dickson Carr.

John Dickson Carr is supposed to be the father of closed room mysteries. These stories so woefully shorten and abbreviate the stories that there's no real thrill or mystery. The blind barber was the worst, literally not even a story. I also didn't like the fluctuations in sound. Sometimes way to low, sometimes way too loud - annoying. I wish they'd cut out the corny music before and after each chapter too. Disappointing.
