Love the classic cover from the 1970s paperback. Very collectable today..!

I’ve got the original book with the wasp cover. Plus all the others too. My most treasured items from childhood.

I so love Agatha Christie’s books. They always draw me in completely, and put me in a old fashioned sort of mood. I much prefer the full audio book versions, but these are very good too! Thank you for sharing them

John Moffat. Lovely.

I love his Poirot ❤

His Poirot was better in terms of vocal technique than Mr Suchet whose Franco Belge accent became more and more mannered and eccentric with each passing year !!

What a surprise! I had not heard this story as radio drama before :). Thank you for uploading.

Yes it is. He's the one who plays inspector japp in the Poirot series on the TV with David suchet

Excellent, loved this rendition.

Well done! Thank you 😊

John Moffat was a good Poirot.

New to me Yes, I do remember it But still, not in the repertoire! Irish Sweepstakes! Long gone, sadly!! 🇮🇪😜

Thank you very much!

Hercule makes a mistake at the start when he says there are two things that fill him with terror - air travel and dentists: he totally forgets there is a third - travelling by water because he suffers from chronic seasickness.

Just an observation. Japp mentions 'the toilets' on the plane. Wouldn't 'lavatories' have been the more common in British English at the time?

Perhaps not on a plane. 🤷‍♀️

My mum used to say ‘w c’ the intitials for water closet. And my dad - a trained architect during the 50’s and 60’s always used ‘w c’ on his architectural plans. In fact, in the old house we lived in, which had been an institution at some point, had the initials w c on the door of its toilet. Sorry - a bit of a trip down memory lane there!!!

Ms Christie became the wife of a distinguished archaeologist.

Is Japp on here the real Japp ? He sounds very similar if not.

No it isn't. Maurice denham played Poirot in another adaptation,which I personally didn't like as he sounded far too old and the Belgian accent was dreadful!?

Poirot in this adaptation is played by John Moffatt. The mention of Denham reminded me of the BBC Radio adaptation of ' Maigret's Boyhood Friend ' - Denham was Maigret himself, and Moffatt (with his natural RP accent) made a special appearance in the series as the titular former schoolmate Léon Florentin.

As a fan of these old radio dramas, I realise British voice actors have to work outside of their comfort zone when it comes to accents. That being said, these are really shockingly bad!

Radio 4 probably isn't for you if you don't like British actors doing ropey accents lol
