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 .

[@paulareadman7478]

You just know it’s going to be good when it is written by one of the greats from the golden age of crime writing. No blood or gore but a mystery to be solved. Love it.

[@SandraBeberian]

The BBC did these for TV..excellent. the classic mystery writers are the best! Dorothy Sayers is great. Margery Allingham is good too..she created Albert Campion.

[@rbrown6476]

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

[@pauline3379]

Love Dorothy L Sayers and Lord Peter, this was so nice to listen to, thank you.

[@coolfreshair1200]

To the channel creator: thank you for making the effort to provide us with a brief synopsis in the description. Good for you!!

[@catherinerobilliard7662]

Once contemporary, now a hundred years ago. Aged to perfection like a fine wine.

[@Shineon83]

…..What a comfort it would be to know that there was a “Sir Peter” in one’s world : Keeping watch on the goings-on-while always ready to swoop in like an Avenging Angel, to ensure that justice is served, and the victims have a voice…. I LIKE that world.

Listening from Cape Town, South Africa.😊

Me too😊 Plumstead

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

[@countryhippiechick4466]

Thank you for this wonderfully recorded theater! It sounds so good. ❤😊

[@DarcySteele]

Fun listen! I love these oldies :)

[@edhardy1764]

Perfect listening just before Halloween! Boston, 10/28/24

[@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!

[@nmr6988]

Dorothy l Sayers was far above Agatha Christie as a writer. Christy had great plots but no character development, no dialogue to speak of. Her characters were little more than a collection of eccentricities. The only reason people think floro and Marple have personalities is because of the writers who wrote the scripts for David suchet and others.

[@ShaunLowthian]

I haven’t heard this version, many thanks.

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

Thank you.

[@georginatuohy5747]

Thank you so much. Totally brilliant ☘️

[@JeanElliott-p5h]

Brilliant. Thank you.

[@terrymitchell2533]

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

[@marathorne6821]

Excellent! 😊

[@JC-cu3sr]

Wonderful, thank you!❤

[@micheler4120]

Wonderful! I loved the PBS series it was so fantastic. That was a long, long time ago ;)

[@nmr6988]

I believe it was actually the BBC that made the series, and PBS just picked it up to show on their own network.

[@micheler4120]

@@nmr6988 I understand but I was referring to the program that brought it to me at that time. So much fun after reading the books. Thank you.

[@barbaraobrien3522]

GREAT DRAMA. VERY GOOD READING.

[@pascaledowling6309]

This is sheer delight ❤

[@tomcurran8470]

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

[@kathleenbellingham-go2vl]

Love Dorothy ❤️

[@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.

[@rjfaustralia2653]

Thanks very much; very entertaining.

[@faykaradoukas50]

❤ Beautiful ❤️

[@davidjago1850]

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! 👍

[@eunicehalliday1812]

Thank you 10 out of 10 👌

[@sheilacasper2030]

Thanks

[@MoodusOperandi]

Delightful play that might benefit from a graph visualising all those characters and their relationships to each other 😅

[@rgnotdead]

Good choice of Magritte ''Empire of Light'', I think.

Operation finale ! Sickamore !

[@apollonia-ava]

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.

[@Prince5887]

I going to vote for Donald Duck
