One of my all time favourites growing up, glad I get to share this version with my daughter. Thanks!

[@ianwalker3922]

Brilliant story and definitely the best dramatized version I have ever heard please do more top audio 🔉 thank you so much for sharing it...

[@kaosfrack1978]

I love the Collins Theatre version just a bit more ;) the music is absolutely fantastic!! But this one is very nice as well.

[@jannelinnoftedal69]

Sophie and the BFG are wonderful best of friends, The BFG loves to send lovely golden dreams to the children, Sophie loves the BFG.

I love his voice sooo relaxing ❤❤ love this ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉

[@disneyfan9134]

1:04:55-1:05:03 I just loved how the BFG says goodbye to Sophie and gives her a little kiss. That is super sweet of him giving Sophie that little kiss! My heart just melted. 😊

[@echadwick3916]

Wow. I used to have this CD when I was little, I listened to it every single night. It's amazing being able to hear it again.

[@simeoncrawford2913]

Ay :) it’s just past Halloween in the south of England, and I took a moment from scrolling through my phone and giving my bleeding eyeballs a rest. Homeschooled, happy, very bookish, these stories, the dramatised versions of these books by Roald Dahl, changed me so that I’d hide a CD player in the corner of the top bunk covers, on a double bunk I’d shared with my brother. Oh, the story isn’t necessary! But jeez, I sat on the windowsill this night and wondered if this was what the witching hour looked like.. I’m surprised that the copyrights aren’t following the stories here but I laughed a very excited laugh when I had searched for the dramatised version…! You’re fantastic! I appreciate these stories being spread further :) So I’m going to sit with my feet outside the window and listen to the story a while

[@TheWhoEditor]

This, along with the 1989 Cosgrove film was my favourite book of my childhood. Thank you for uploading it.

[@foxteen8721]

Cosgrove's adaptation TRAUMATISED me as a child. Any time. :-)

It’s so fitting that Jeffrey Palmer plays the BFG as he is the one who narrates the CD version of the story that I have

[@SarahHarris-df2pw]

Best version❤❤😂🎉

1:07:16 That part were the maid dropped the tray and said "There goes the tray Ma,m" always cracked me up as a kid

[@huntercoleman460]

Would’ve been cool if they got David Jason for this. He was great as The BFG.

[@Charliejashworth]

Yes to true!

[@The10thDoctorForever]

I believe Geoffrey Palmer did two versions of 'The BFG.' The dramatization and also read for an abridged version in 1998 on cassette. I don't suppose you, or anyone one else, has the abridged BFG audiobook read by Geoffrey Palmer? Thanks!

[@foxteen8721]

Unfortunately I do not. I used to but gave it away. But if I come across the same collection, I can hopefully answer your wishes.

Can you do George’s Marvelous Medicine read by the late June Whitfield?

It has been 40 years since this book came out it was adapted into film twice (1989 & 2016)

[@Charliejashworth]

The 1989 adaptation was part of the VCI trailer which led my instruction to Thomas the tank, engine and friends and the Steven Spielberg adaptation came out around the time when High school results day was fast approaching

[@disneyfan9134]

16:59-17:32 It really makes my heart ache and break to hear BFG crying over Sophie’s poor treatment at the orphanage. Don’t cry, BFG! You’re gonna make me cry. 😥😥😥

I like the way you speak, very clear.

[@foxteen8721]

I appreciate your kind words, but I was not involved with this. All this, along with the others was back in 1998 when I was three years old. However, I do enjoy reading out loud and narrating.

[@christophercruz5891]

@@foxteen8721 what are these from originally? Because if I listen to the movie of the big friendly giant either of them they don’t sound like they do in this which I actually think this is great. I’ve also listen to George’s marvelous medicine and I know that book as well.

[@foxteen8721]

@@christophercruz5891 These are from the company Penguin Books, in 1998. I'd say Cosgrove's adaptation is more faithful (apart from the ending where as the BFG in this version says in London). George is a good listen, but one of my commenters pointed out something very relevant which is how they left out the gin.

[@christophercruz5891]

It's been a long time since I read George. I'll have to find myself a braille Copy. I am totally blind, and rely on audio. I'd love to meet the girl who did Sophie in this because I love her voice.

[@foxteen8721]

@@christophercruz5891 I'm glad I'm one of those who are able to help by my uploads. Yes, Lizzie Franks was great as Sophie. She also provided the voices for Veruca in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and the lead in Matilda.

[@ANDCFC95]

Love this book, one of my all time favourites, but I always wondered how the giants (including BFG) went about the human world without being caught or spotted? People do be out and awake during the witching hour.

[@Clitbang_wang]

Ok. The BFG sounds a bit scary.

This version is meh... The one adapted by Edward Kelsey and Bernard Cribbins as the BFG is a million times better than this.

[@foxteen8721]

Everyone's entitled to their opinion. What didn't you like about it?

[@marhier]

@@foxteen8721 Specifically? It was missing the best line from the book: _"Human beans from Chile, is very chilly..."_ There were a few instances where they removed sections of text from the book... Why? Also, didn't like Geoffrey Palmer's portrayal of The BFG... No character to it; sounded more like one of the bigger giants... Compare it Cribbins' version mentioned in my original comment... Much more fun and lovable. But most importantly........... Chilly!
