- This reading of Stoker's novel was released in the UK on cassette by the BBC in the early 1990s, and while it was never broadcast on Radio 4 (to my knowledge), I am assured by an overseas listener that it was broadcast on the BBC World Service. This recording is taken from my old cassette copy so it's a bit imperfect - apologies - but it should still be listenable.
This channel is about ghost and horror stories on British radio, primarily (but not exclusively) those broadcast at Christmas. If you're interested to know more about the century-long history of ghost and horror stories broadcast at Christmas on British television and radio, you might like to check out HOLLY WRAITHS (and its companion volume HOLLY TERRORS), an A-Z guide available in paperback and ebook from Lulu.com.
His voice is simply wonderful.
Robert Powell never disappoints.
I fell in LOVE with Robert Powell's acting when I saw him portraying the Lord Jesus Christ in the beautiful miniseries: 'Jesus Of Nazareth.' Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula" has been and remains one of my all time favorite books ever since I was a child. It's been a hope of mine to find this recording for years. Thank you very much.
Finally!!! For this Robert Powell production on YT I have been waiting very bloodthirsty for many years... ;-)
That knocking you can hear is the floaty-kid-from-Salem's-Lot wandering into the wrong story and demanding entrance. "Open The Window, Mark. Please! Let Me In... He Commands It!"
Ah ... the old country. Little wonder that it was the birthplace of the surreal. Still superstitious, still strange ... and, alas, more corrupt than ever. I'm so glad Robert Powell is narrating. I will forever remember him as Jude, Mahler, and ... oh yeah ... Christ. I'm thankful for the upload!
The statement in the info text that the production was never heard on radio is incorrect. I heard the series in the mid 1990s on Radio BBC-Worldwide in Switzerland. But perhaps there was also a broadcast on BBC 4 before that.
Oooooooooooohhhhhhhh...
