Four BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisations

Narrado por: Full Cast, Ian Carmichael

Ian Carmichael is Lord Peter Wimsey in these consummate BBC radio dramatisations of Dorothy L Sayers' much-loved mysteries

Elegant, erudite and sharp-witted, aristocratic detective Lord Peter Wimsey featured in numerous novels and short stories by ‘Queen of Crime’ Dorothy L Sayers. These full-cast adaptations – first broadcast on BBC radio between 1975 and 1981– are loved by mystery fans all around the world.

In The Unpleasantness at the Bellona Club, when General Fentiman is found dead at his club, Wimsey suspects foul play. Could he have been murdered for his money?

Strong Poison introduces Harriet Vane – a crime novelist on trial for murdering her lover. Wimsey knows Harriet is no femme fatale, but an innocent victim embroiled in a diabolical plot…

Five Red Herrings sees Peter faced with six men, all of whom have a motive for killing argumentative Scottish painter Sandy Campbell. But who was the culprit?

In Have His Carcase, when Harriet Vane finds a body on the beach with his throat cut, Lord Peter must work out whether it was murder or suicide.

These classic dramas also feature Peter Jones, Joan Hickson, Miriam Margolyes and Warren Clarke.

Wonderful stories faithfully brought to life

Theses plots are really remarkable in terms of construction and complexity. They wonderfully evoke their era. The actors are on top of their game and the results are brilliant!

Fabulous Wimsey

Loved every minute of the story and the narrative. Excellent for newbies and Wimsey fans, alike.

Ian Carmichael is perfect for the role

Although I have read or listened to all the unabridged books these radio plays give a great taste of the full versions.

Fun adaptation.

Really well done with lots of familiar voices. Love the books so I enjoy these a lot.

Very enjoyable

The performers did a lovely job and it was fun listening to the story unfold.
