"Sad Cypress" by Agatha Christie
[A BBC RADIO 4 FULL-CAST DRAMATISATION]
A charming, classic English country house mystery is brought to life in this radio dramatization. Hercule Poirot investigates the poisoning of a young woman following the death of a wealthy widow. Poirot is given a charming, astute characterization without overdoing it. The full cast of actors and complete sound track vividly create scenes, adding dimension a single narrator cannot. Gossipy whispering among servants, musical bridges and quick scene changes to advance the plot effectively build suspense and suspicion. This performance leaves the listener hoping Bantam will present more of Christie's tales--many well suited to the audio format.
"Hound of the Baskervilles"
by Arthur Conan Doyle
[A BBC RADIO 4 FULL-CAST DRAMATISATION]
For generations, the legend has been passed down. A satanic tale of a gigantic hell-hound, a devil incarnate who stalks the wastes of Dartmoor wreaking a bloody and terrible vengeance upon the heirs of the house of Baskerville.
While a country doctor brings the bizarre and seemingly unearthly circumstances surrounding the death of Sir Charles Baskerville to the attention of Sherlock Holmes, it is the beginning of one of the strangest cases of the great detective's career. Convinced by the arrival of an extraordinary warning that Sir Charles' heir, Henry, is in danger of his life, Holmes dispatches Dr. Watson to accompany the young man to the dark and somber house deep within the bleak Devon moor. With peril at every hand and a murderous escaped convict at large, the mystery deepens. Is the ancient legend true, or is the hideous creature merely a part of a sinister conspiracy whose origins are all too diabolically human?
Michael Hordern stars as Jeeves with Richard Briers as Bertie in this BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation. In order to smooth over the tiff between Madeline Bassett and Gussie Fink-Nottle, Bertie has to brave the dreaded Totleigh Towers, where Aunt Dahlia is trying to force him to steal a silver cow-creamer from Sir Watkyn Bassett. Jeeves has his work cut out for him!
