Agatha Christie 🎧Death In The Clouds🎧 Poirot Mystery Radio Play

[@2msvalkyrie529]

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

[@EdelweisSusie]

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

[@milliken603]

Simply great. Thanks!

[@jennifermcdonald5432]

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

[@arrienl6372]

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

[@sergeykrinitsyn5097]

Thank you very much!

[@rtt1961]

Well done play. Great post.

[@mariecochlan664]

John Moffat. Lovely.

[@betsya7054]

I love his Poirot ❤

[@2msvalkyrie529]

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 !!

[@susanmorgan4151]

Hmmm, one I've not heard! Yay!!

[@AngelaCadnum-ue8ic]

Always a Classic for Books and Autiobooks…… we love you the good old Krimis ….I love the Flair and thanks!! ❤️❤️🍿🙃🦋

[@EdelweisSusie]

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.

[@benediktmorak4409]

scriptwriters license?

[@jeannemara1600]

@EdelweisSusie As I am a sea sickness aficionado, I doubt that he would consider that terrifying. He would likely say traveling by water filled him with dread, not terror.

[@philipinchina]

Excellently done.

[@susanotway7875]

So enjoyable! Thanks. Great plot and cast.

[@lucamackenzie9229]

THE one and only Poirot.

[@cob4467]

Thank you

[@opheliahamlet3508]

Terrific!

[@rachelmora6227]

Loved it! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤

[@clarissah8999]

Thank you so much for this upload. ❤

[@yutub6928]

Could someone tell me please if the actor on this play who interprets Inspector Jap is the same actor that appears on the television series of Poirot? It sounds to me that it is. Thanks and regards from Mexico.

[@sheibanineda2488]

Yes, it is Philip Jackson😊

[@m.-fp8rd]

Well done! Thank you 😊

[@SodorWho]

Didn’t this book make an appearance in ‘doctor who: the unicorn and the wasp’?

[@maryoleary5044]

Is that Philip Jackson?! 🤩😃

[@roderickfemm8799]

It sure sounds like him as Japp.

[@ednadawson728]

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

[@michaelplunkett8059]

The quintessential Inspector Japp.

[@hannahstewart9622]

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

[@emf49]

Perhaps not on a plane. 🤷‍♀️

[@2msvalkyrie529]

The " Gentleman's Convenience " ?

[@MsDormy]

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!!!

[@victoriabarclay3556]

In French we say le VC ( wc)

[@victoriabarclay3556]

Maybe les toilettes.

[@michealburnett4]

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

[@2msvalkyrie529]

Do you still have The Rose of Tralee ..? 😂

[@burnettis1]

Yes indeed. But, it be a different programme, now! 🇮🇪☘️🎊🎉​@@2msvalkyrie529

[@lyrayeretzian6712]

John Moffat was a good Poirot.

[@micheler4120]

Excellent, loved this rendition.

[@SueFleming-it8kj]

Whenever I think of Japp I always think of Philip Jackson

[@mavisemberson8737]

Ms Christie became the wife of a distinguished archaeologist.

[@larrythomas3623]

Is that Maurice Denham? 🤔

[@adriantwiss600]

Which character. The French policeman was Geoffrey Whitehead

[@ednadawson728]

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!?

[@user-ht8pn6dv9j]

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.

[@bencaton1514]

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!

[@Iqn5]

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