Love a good British cozy…

It’s a beautiful day in March and I’m stuck in bed poorly. A wonderful story, but I did get confused with a couple of characters I need to hear another of her stories. I wonder why she’s not as famous as Agatha Christie as her stories are just as good Thank you ☺️

Marvellous fun, thank you. Just found your channel and took a browse through the available goodies - I may never leave the house again!

Just marvelous, even as abreviated play. Marvelous. Thank you❤🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻

I wish someone could upload the audio book. Such good listening and not shortened like this one has to be.

Excellent production, superb actors with perfect diction, could understand everyone. Music is super too. More please. 😊

Very much enjoyed this! The acting was exceptional & the script quite extraordinary. Thank you So much for creating this channel & for All the quality content your hard work brings to us!

Absolutely marvellous ! I love these old melodramas. When written no TV, cinema in its early days, families huddled round the wireless.

1940? Hollywood was in it's prewar heyday when the book was written. After the War there were very few horse drawn hearses and black plumes were unknown

A very young Mary Wimbush, her voice matured but never really altered, great actress, really enjoyed the play many thanks xx

Now that was excellent and worth listening to. I love Margery Allingham's stories, and this one was well acted. Thank you so much.

How wonderful to happen upon your channel thank you .

That dramatic music is so vintage !! Loved it

Thank you so much! I’ve recently discovered this amazing authoress! I had exhausted everything by Agatha Christie whom I’ve loved since childhood! I also know of Dorothy L Sayers, if somebody can tell me any other female writers from this period I would be so very grateful! Thank you!

Now is the time for ghost stories and fantasy! Perhaps two radio play ghost stories I’ve produced AND a brand new mystery listed on my channel “Claude Chabot Presents” right here on YT AND a radio fantasy comedy, “A Trip to the Moon” starring Joyce Randolph of The Honeymooners, which features Larry Robinson, who, as a child actor, actually worked with Orson Welles. Here’s the link: kzread.info/dash/bejne/epmslM6tqc60hLA.html--Claud. If you don’t want to click the link just search “Claude Chabot presents” on KZread.

Marjorie Westbury, the best radio actress ever (just ask Martin Jarvis).

Oh, I did like this one. Excellent play. Just enough drama, for a Christmas night.

The difference between a great play a good play and a bad play are the actors involved with out quality actors the play drama storey would fail to hold my intrest it's identity and intrest . Also sound quality great vocal diction helps alot as well.

Jolly good play!!

Good radio drama. Entertaining. It was impossible for me to figure out where it was going

Great Play Uncle Chesterton......and the music was incredible too. Thanks Uncle Chessie .....BTW-now we've got Christmas out of the way-if you want to come round, I've found a play from 50-odd years ago called "Sherlock Holmes and The Apollo 11 Moon Landing"......Hey! It's right up both of our streets, Uncle Chessie...!!! BTW-Give our love to Auntie Elvira.Thanx.

These radio dramas are really entertaining and I'm thoroughly enjoying them, but I can't get over how cool the Brits are when a murder happens right under their noses, then when they're told that THE murderer is in the house WITH them, they not only manage to stay calm but carry on as if they've nothing on their minds except their next cup of tea.

Sounds like Peter Coke of Paul Temple fame.

The denouement is predictable and cliched but the voices are wonderful.

Haha, I found the music over the top. The older the recording, it appears, the less the production uses moody music.

Interesting play, slightly irritating incidental music, was not required!

Shrill "upper class" portrayal as a blind for humble production value.

i love this play, so well produced. 🌷 BUT the music choice is horrible and way overdramatic!

Not the most subtle of Allingham's stories and very '40s style BBC melodrama production. An indication of the times is the prevalence of very dated and now totally unacceptable terms and attitudes.

My word, what a lot of misogyny there was on olden times!

Americans. They have always got that wrong. Never understood why anyone would think theres 19 months in a year. 😮

I have to admit I find the speech too abrupt and staccato. Other than early recordings of QE11 I can't believe anyone actually sounded quite so uncomfortable.

Why the ghastly ear shattering musak! Awful.
