Maigret at the Crossroads | Murder Mystery | Radio Drama

An old BBC radio broadcast of a classic detective Maigret story
Published in 1931, it is one of the earliest novels to feature Inspector Maigret in the role of the chief police investigator. In this classic tale, Maigret investigates the murder of a Jewish diamond-merchant, the suspicious death of a businessman, and the killing of an unlucky commercial traveler.

I have been.

I just love these old radio dramas... Fantastic to drive to. Brilliant for relaxing in the traffic. Thanks a bunch. ❤🎉

[@joeydell]

Glad you like them! I do the exact same thing!

[@trinidad2450]

They are nice, aren’t they? A nice switch to exercise the little gray cells, to quote another famous literary sleuth, Hercule Poirot.

[@Penmanboat]

Love these radio dramas! ❤

[@lulupm6739]

Thank you! Love these, listen while I’m doing household chores, driving…

The theme music is Altair by Hingross if anyone is interested, I love that tune.

[@dreasmom2789]

Love triva. Thanks.

[@ROCKINGMAN]

Loved Maigret with Jean Gabin. I can always tell the distinct voices of Maurice Denham and Michael Gough, great actors.

[@randomlight1069]

Love the tone and temperament of the actor playing Maigret. Very polite chap.

[@stringlarson1247]

These are great. I've put myself on a political 'news' blackout and am listening to these and various UK and US radio shows for the last months.

[@markrossow6303]

the AI image is post-Great War -- the book was from before

[@jessamysilverman3058]

The great war is the first world war, 1914-18. The book written in 1931 so a few years before the second world war 1939-1945 (I'm British hence the dating), which makes the picture pretty well dated. Sorry to be picky but I was a little taken aback at your dating of the great war.

[@tomcurran8470]

@@jessamysilverman3058 Yes, WWI was the Great War, the War to End All Wars. Of course, any war you are in is a great war.

[@austenj4539]

@@jessamysilverman3058 I agree with your 'pinickiness'! The Maigret stories were written/set during the 'inter War' years [1918-39].

[@Ian-fi2xu]

I would say 1930-1939. One ought to consider one's input before ejaculting nonsense.

[@markrossow6303]

read the book

[@markrossow6303]

so the AI image is wrong as being 1920s post Great War -- the novel was pre-Great War #AIfail

Do both and have extra fun🎉

No black cat in this accompanying image 😮 Busy road too dangerous I suppose. 😂

Too much advertising

upgrade to premium

[@austenj4539]

There is something that doesn't quite 'gel' with a Continental detective dealing with mostly ordinary class crime in a Continental setting. Lacks a certain ... je ne sais pas, in the absence of an English setting.

Not great

[@salseroaleman2003]

Nice English. Not as incredibly reduced as US "tump-istan" english. Not as elaborate as fairly decent british english is though. At least the speakers try to add some (pronouciation) level on top of the written script. The cheap, anoying adds interrupting the listening are launched by chineese advertizers trying to promote bullshity hair, beard and parfume products.

[@stardresser1]

This is how You Tube works. Don't t want adds? Get KZbin premium. Easy peaszy. Stop complaining.

[@salseroaleman2003]

@@stardresser1 I perfectly know that. The adds orient me though in what not to buy.

[@2msvalkyrie529]

Apart from Maurice Denham the acting here is roughly village Panto standard . Were they really so short of actors at that time..??

[@austenj4539]

Panto acting in this Maigret adaptation! Oh no it isn't!

[@dreasmom2789]

Haven't heard of this series before. Love by. C b s mystery theater but it will be nice to have a bit of a change once in a while. Thank you

[@joedge6142]

If you're interested in vintage horror, E F Benson etc I recommend EnCrypted with Jasper L'Estrange, brilliant narrator and talented Author.
