Agatha Christie on the radio


The BBC broadcast this today
"Crime writer Val McDermid listens to recordings made by Agatha Christie which have never before been broadcast.
A panel of guests, including dramatist Kevin Elyot, biographer Laura Thompson, archivist John Curran, who has recently deciphered Christie's notebooks, director Enyd Williams and writer Michael Bakewell, discuss their approach to dramatising her novels for TV and radio and the light that these recordings shed on Christie's working methods."

and they make it available to listen to here for 7 days

For any Agatha fans this might be worth a listen Val


oh if you like that one ...and don't miss these (I love the Mr Quin stories and it looks like they're going to read some!)

from an old gravestone

If you hold your nose to the Grindstone
and you leave it there long enough,
Then soon you'll say
there's no such things
as brooks that babble
and birds that sing,
these three will all your world compose,
just you, the stone and your poor old nose.

(from memory so may not be word perfect)
