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.

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!

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 :) 🌷🌱

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 🎉

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.

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. :)

Why do you put so many periods in the title? Strange and unnecessary. Hard to read the title because of this.

@lorihogue5015 4 ай бұрын

The actor voicing Poirot is John Moffat. Sir David Suchet is the actor who brought the detective to the TV screen. Different performers.

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. ❤🙏🕊

Halloween is an Irish tradition not American. Do your homework

@kellydalstok8900 Жыл бұрын

It’s Agatha Christie who wrote the story. Blame her.

@veganleigh4817 Жыл бұрын

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.

@Lobxx1 10 ай бұрын

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 😊

@macraghnaill3553 9 ай бұрын

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

@floraposteschild4184 8 ай бұрын

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.

@CarlyUTube 8 ай бұрын

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.

@veganleigh4817 7 ай бұрын

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.
