The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (Dramatised)

The Murder of Roger AckroydThis was the defining novel. This radio production dating from 1987 stars John Moffatt as Hercule Poirot and co-stars John Woodvine as the storyteller and Dr Sheppard. Normally, it is Poirot who recounts the story and so this takes on a rather different style which works extremely well indeed. It was good to hear classical actor Laurence Payne as Roger Ackroyd but I know he was most put out to be offered such small roles by the BBC radio rep. You can also hear Peter Gilmore and Deryck Guyler whose voices are instantly recognisable. The story has good twists and quite a surprise ending and as radio drama goes this is first rate. Enyd Williams directs. Running time approx 90 minutes. Good value price wise and nicely packaged too.

only issue I had was an error in disc numbering. ie Disc5,disc2 which confused me a bit as there are only 2 discs in the box. Also interesting spelling of Audio "Auido" Amusing glitches but did not detract from the product

item arrived on time and good quality.

Husband was pleased with this gift was lucky to get it so cheaply as these can be quite expensive and seem to hold their price

This is the all time classic Poirot - very neatly crafted indeed and worth reading over again. I really enjoyed it.

lots of twists and turns who dunnit wait till the last to find out got it wrong 1st time around

My wife listens to it over and over. Recommended to friends was originally recommended to me by my Sister Christine
