Thank you! Oh thank you for your time and work to bring this to us. 🐸 we who can not read any longer still love love fine liturature! Fine book! 👌 m. Illinois. Usa.
Well said , I too enjoy listening.. From st Vincent and the Grenadines🇻🇨
And while one listens, if one wants, one can do other things, a craft, prep a meal etc
Or, of course, sit in your favorite chair and let the narrator stir the imagination.
Ok all you old souls. Three cheers for the British Radio Theatre shows.🎉
I love old time radio dramas. But I have mostly heard the various ones in America. The British radio dramas are even better.
I also love that the quality of the sound is amazing. There is no crackling or any other distortions. Wonderful work.
I agree, the old radio shows from the 1930s to 50s did have a lot of noise unlike this 1993 recording. 😊 I enjoyed Stephanie Cole as Ariadne Oliver.
This series was from the early 1990s, so the sound quality had improved greatly. So glad to find this series here!
Great voices great production!
Could listen all day and night
Ohh how I wish I cld go back to this time. ❤❤❤❤
@olgakravtsova441 I envy you all that got to live that time. My soul belongs to another time.

Thank you! Lovely to hear these wonderful Agatha Christie’s in this format. So different than reading them.
Wonderful production - thoroughly enjoyed. Thanks for sharing with us🙏
John muffett was a fantastic actor. The creation of Hercule Piorrot
MOFFATT
Brilliant
Thank you for an excellent radio production. Excellent casting, believable voices, wonderfully produced and directed.
I LOVE English radio plays, over American ones. Takes me back to my childhood, when TV reception was difficult and sometimes non-existent.
Thank you once again!
Lovely. Very nostalgic. 😊
What a delightful surprise to find this on Halloween season! I'm fond of this story, and adore the work of Stephanie Cole. Thanks so much for the post.
Yes, me too. And I’d like to hear Stephanie Cole read novels as well. She has a voice that bright and interesting without overacting 😊
Quite entertainment production. Thanks.
Just what I needed on a crisp October night.
Ahh can't beat a good Poirot. Thanks again. 😊
Great radio play. Very well acted and directed! Thank you!
Just discovered this , really enjoyed the 2 audios I've listened to. Looking forward to listening to more
Brilliant ❤❤❤❤ it makes my mouth water❤❤❤❤
Moffatt was such a gentle spoken Poirot. he had such a special way with the character. imagine being able to convey so much through voice alone (character actors are amazing - they’re not given as much credit as they deserve :) 🌷🌱
As soon as I heard Stephanie Cole I was in. This is so delightful and unfussy.
Thank you for this. Love the radio adaptation of this story. Great cast.
Oh how I love this book. Thank you
That lovely twist of humour at the end. Thank you for sharing

Thank you so much,love these radio plays 😊
I absolutely love these stories thank you so much for sharing. ❤
Thank you!!! A great story for a cold Oct 30th night!! I enjoy your stories while I knit.
I only just found this channel and it is so wonderfull!! The voice of Poirot is allmost completly like that of David Suchet. Ariadne is allso very good.
The whole cast, and especially the childrens voices are wonderfull.
And lets not forget the sound background, it emulates specific places and atmospheres most successfully.
Thank you for this woderfull story, I look forward to listeni g to even more of them.
Really super thank you!
You guys did a wonderful job!
Loved it. Subscribed, thank you!
Fantastic. Thanks very much.
Thank you!
I like Stephanie Cole. And, John Moffatt sounds amazingly like David Suchet. Or I suppose I should say, David Suchet sounds amazingly like John Moffatt. Either way, it's a wonderful production.
😊😊😊😊
😊😅😅😊😊😊😊😅😅😅😊😊
I second every compliment about casting, talented and believable acting, production quality and that Ive loved British Radio Theater productions since I heard Hitchhiker's Guide forty years ago. Bravo and Thank-you!!
Also I would have thought Moffat WAS Suchet. Brilliant portrayals of Hercule Poirot 🎉
Thanks.
I started watching Poirot when it came out. Couldn't wait for each episode.
Thanks heaps
Thanks for sharing! Great novel! 🎃😊
Thank you ❤
thank you so much for uploading this. I look forward to working my way through all your offerings.
Very good
I hope UK listeners will take every opportunity to support the BBC ie the source of this and many of these plays. They will get no royalties and the actors will get no repeat fees.
Sure. When they stop supporting pedos.
Thank you!!
Very enjoyable. Thanks.
The film version death in Venice is good
😍
This was a good sleuthing there
Wonderful 👍 I am listening to this a few weeks before Halloween. Very appropriate and appreciated. IDK, it might be recorded already. There's a Poirot novel where murder happens around Christmas time. Would it be possible to have it here? If it was made into a play that is. Thanks a bunch.
i remember still hearing about oversexed girls or women in the late ‘50’s. i didn’t really know what it really meant as a preteen or teeny bopper, except it wasn’t a desirable trait. in my young 20’s, the phrase was scorned and died out pretty much.
how disgusting - being oversexed!! imagine “heavy petting” being a bad thing. how very repressed some women were then - especially in middle class England. Then “Valley of the Dolls” was published - 1958. as i remember looking back to when i was 13, this was a turning point. not great literature, of course, but a best seller. big sensation “her nipples were as hard as diamonds.” LOL ‘ooo’ giggles all around. :)

That lovely twist of humour at the end...
Did she just say Poyrow for Poirot???
Great, very enjoyable....except for the AWFUL intro & outtro.
Why do you put so many periods in the title? Strange and unnecessary. Hard to read the title because of this.
Just a tip.. you don’t have to read the period signs, stick to the words.. that’ll make sense😂
cast?
Watch & listen until the end. The cast is on screen and read out.
1 John 1:8-9 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
This life isn’t all there is, for anyone who thinks that God is not real and the Bible cannot be true, just needs to look at the evidence left at Sodom and Gomorrah, The Red Sea crossing and Noah’s Ark, and every prophecy written has come to pass, including now in our days. Our whole world is based on Jesus Christ’s life, BC and AD, for a reason, because he is very real and so is Judgement. Don’t give up the free gift of eternal life without seeking Jesus with all your heart first, he loves you more than you will ever know, and anyone who does will soon know how real he is. God bless. ❤🙏🕊
I love this audio. But i cannot listen to these lies no more. David being of Hungarian heritage should know better
What are you talking about? What lies? Who is David? Just curious.
The actor voicing Poirot is John Moffat. Sir David Suchet is the actor who brought the detective to the TV screen. Different performers.
Halloween is an Irish tradition not American. Do your homework
It’s Agatha Christie who wrote the story. Blame her.
Actually, Samhain is the Irish tradition. Anyway, I believe she was speaking of the American way of celebrating Thanksgiving with pumpkins, even more than Halloween. I guess the English didn't go all out. Not at that time, anyway.
True it originates in Ireland but when the Irish went over to America in the 1800s, we took a lot of our traditions with us. Irish people used to carve turnips but the Americans used pumpkins for Jack o lanterns instead. Then they commericialised the hell out of it. It originates in Ireland but I can see why people would associate it with America 😊
Going way way back when I was young it was called "Duck Apple Night" we carved faces out of turnips and put a candle inside, apples cut up in a bowl with coins at the bottom [duck apple] and apples hanging from string, trying to eat without using hands.
The "Trick or Treating " we have now is an American import around the 1990s
Blame the person who wrote this adaptation. A lot of the dialogue, especially in the beginning, is not hers at all. In the book, Ariadne tries to start a conversation about the origin of Hallowe'en but everyone ignores her, or just want to talk about the events at the party.
The production is wonderful! BUT this has got to be the WORST, most boring Agatha Christie story I have ever heard! Thank goodness I didn’t waste my money on the book.
You have to remember that they cut out 5 hours of the story to make the radioplay. The story isn't one of her best, but it's far from her worst.
