Unnatural Death - Dorothy L. Sayers - Saturday Night Theatre

[@riverbilly64]

23 October 2024 - Great play. There are lots of twists and turns, as others point out, but I like that. Good for “meditative listening” in a dark room with a morning cup of java. Listening from the Bluegrass, horse country, Kentucky, USA. Good morning!

Thanks...your comment made me smile

[@andrewarthurmatthews6685]

Yes you are so lucky to listen to these super radio dramas produced by the always brilliant BBC. No one else provides the wide range of quality radio without the most annoying and highly irritating commercial breaks .

What an excellent story. Kept me fully engaged all the way through. Thanks very much for uploading this. ❤

[@anniegwillymwalker1902]

Wonderful! On a par with Agatha Christie and a star of the Golden Age of Crime! Thank you so much, there can never be too much Wimsey!

[@DarcySteele]

Fun listen! I love these oldies :)

[@countryhippiechick4466]

Dorothy L. Sayers, the classical author and Cambridge instructor. What a wild and talented author!

[@marathorne6821]

Excellent! 😊

The watery marmalade soothes all those worries you're having about how runny your marmalade is.

Thoroughly enjoyable, thank you very much for sharing it with us 👏🥂

[@pascaledowling6309]

This is sheer delight ❤

Listening from Cape Town, South Africa.😊

[@ShaunLowthian]

I haven’t heard this version, many thanks.

[@faykaradoukas50]

❤ Beautiful ❤️

[@rjfaustralia2653]

Thanks very much; very entertaining.

There's a prominent family in the US named Goodnight. If one of the maids married a Goodnight they would be Gotobed Goodnight, LOL.

[@eunicehalliday1812]

Thank you 10 out of 10 👌

I grew up to the voice of Hugh Burden on the wireless. He is second only to Ian Carmichael in interpreting Lord Peter. 😀

[@snowysnowyriver]

Totally agree with you! 😊

[@irmagarcia7826]

Same here! 👍

[@ruthmaryrose]

There were some Gotobeds i knew of in the small town I lived in in the United States once. I’ll never forget it because I thought it was such an odd name.

Was it really necessary for the butler/valet servant type to keep saying ‘My Lord’ after every damn sentence ?!! How obsequious 🙄was this the same in real life ? Good grief, it couldn’t be me 😖

[@indigobunting2431]

Servants so deferential. Booze and cigarettes. Tricky plot.

[@emf49]

Bunter was Wimsey’s old army friend.

[@kateking3953]

It was the 1920's! No trickier than serial killers, zombies, superheroes slaughtering hundreds. What a relief to have a bit of marmalade and quiet deference.

[@jacquiesbrood]

So a 60 year old novel should be judged by the current political correctness?

[@factsoverfiction7826]

​@@jacquiesbrood The novel is set in 1927 England. Plenty of men returned from WWI realizing their power as citizens & soldiers. The class system began crumbling. Many readers 100 years ago may have summed up the novel similarly.

[@plsingh2086]

Yes. Too many twists and you really need to concentrate

[@davidjago1850]

I take the point. The trouble is that, when you condense a novel into less than 90 minutes, the details come at you like hailstones!

[@doriellesoler7502]

​@davidjago1850 nothing we can't handle 😊 but of course not to sleep to !

[@JohnGleeson-cx5lg]

Not her best storyline but great actors especially LP

[@brandyhaywood6256]

The book is fantastic. Anything by Sayers is wonderful. A classics scholar who wrote beautifully.

[@madelinesolk5734]

Too complicated. I gave up

[@roderickfemm8799]

I suspect the author was trying to do a sort of tour-de-force, creating a very complex case so that Wimsey could solve it in dazzling style. It's probably easier to deal with the complexity when you're reading the book.

[@factsoverfiction7826]

Yes, not a good choice for falling asleep. So I listened the next day. Very enjoyable.

I going to vote for Donald Duck
