[@adebinelli8182]

Glad you enjoyed it...

[@mgrainger3805]

Thats so true Mary wimbush captures her like no one

[@nickh8248]

Loved that laugh, it really made the play.

[@sharonachrak3686]

A great listen! Thank you x

[@0707Denisem]

Loved this story! I've enjoyed Gladys Mitchell books for years, and this radio play captured the book wonderfully.

[@adebinelli8182]

Glad you enjoyed it, definitely one of my favourites..

[@gilllongano4765]

What a pity not more of GM Mitchell audiobooks. And that laugh - I love it! Mrs B would be my new BBF. Such superb arrogance! Huge thanks for the upload

[@adebinelli8182]

@gilllongano4765 you're right it's a shame there aren't more of these gems, but at least we have that laugh lol...

[@yiayiak8195]

Hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[@lizn9181]

Fabulously acted out story ! Thank you 😊

[@dawnclarke2343]

I am joining the club of those who enjoyed this. I am a fan of Leslie Phillips and the rest of the cast are great 👍. 🐈‍⬛😊

[@QPRTokyo]

Fantastic. 😀 Some people will not understand this style of drama but if you do, it is a gem.

[@valeofglamman3225]

Another entertaining drama. Thanks very much, Ade.

I was so happy to find this! Such a killer combination of great writing, production and acting - Gladys Mitchell, Elizabeth Proud, and Mary Wimbush. I saw the TV version with Diana Rigg and was disappointed; it was so far altered from the original that it hardly made sense, a real waste of La Rigg’s talent. Thanks very much for posting it 😊.

[@adebinelli8182]

You're right the TV version was nothing like this production..glad you found it...

[@vickycotham6937]

I was opposite! lol I didn’t want to watch because of the laugh, but TV didn’t add that. I love Diana Rigg!

[@bp311able]

OMG that laugh is bonkers! Like a demented Woody Woodpecker. Nearly jumped out of my skin every time. Took me a while to figure out which character it belonged to, given the various interior monologues/shifting narrators, and the way it would erupt out of nowhere.

[@vickycotham6937]

That laugh bothers me too!! Besides that good play!! No background noise and clear voices!

[@dmx5439]

i love this play 🎭,,,thank you

[@roderickfemm8799]

Fairly entertaining, those upper-middle class stereotypes are always such fun.

[@aprilskies1051]

That laugh...hilarious !

[@mrscpc1918]

Oh I love Mary Wimbush !My friend Marjory used to laugh just like that.

[@MsDormy]

Wow! Your friend must have been quite a character!

[@mrscpc1918]

@@MsDormyhello I just found this again now ! She’s been dead for years ( aged 80) and I miss her still. She was a right madam 😂😂

[@bilindalaw-morley161]

This was excellent! I don't usually like Dame Bradley as a character and here I really disliked the raucous laughter. However the acting is wonderful, and once when it went to a "musical interlude" I had to check the time bar because I really didn't want the play to be over! Thank you very much.

[@eileenheath1968]

I was sad Mary Wimbush only played her twice. This was my first introduction to the Dame Bradley character and no one else can truly make her as likeable and enjoyable.

[@gabyshepherd8855]

That strong smoker’s satan-ish laugh...!! Huuhhh, causing me goosebumps...

[@vickycotham6937]

Can’t forget Mr Cochran as Bertie!!

[@dl18336]

Great story

[@jnuttso1]

Very good 😁

[@archibaldbagge1235]

That asthmatic laugh!

[@4leafclover611]

Diana Rigg was a great Mrs Bradley

[@slightlyconfused876]

She was far too attractive to be Mrs Bradley

[@sallydavis1391]

No she wasn't !

That's Is your opinion

Yes. Brilliant , stylish stories.

I’m enjoying it, but find Mary Wimbush’s extended smokers cough maniacal laugh very annoying and completely unnecessary. The rest of the cast are brilliant. 😍

[@allisonjones3064]

Omg how ridiculously annoying is her laugh. And so out of place Can’t handle it. Can’t listen

[@suevans6436]

rubbish, ridiculous laughing

[@adebinelli8182]

Unusual for someone to dislike this but I know what you mean about the laugh..

[@mrscpc1918]

I love it just because of the laugh !!

[@corygiesbrecht5423]

I have come across a person who had that same laugh. Now I am searching my brain to place who that was. 🤣

[@msvoyeur]

@@mrscpc1918 Same here ! Every time I heard it, I laughed out loud! ( My co worker's found it disconcerting which made me laugh harder) 😂😂😂

[@hannahreynolds7611]

It's exactly as described in the books. Mrs Bradley really is an appalling character, but such fun.

[@warplanner8852]

Dreadful! Overacted and boisterous characters.
