BBC Radio Poirot's

geordieboy56 14 Sep 09 at 11:15 p.m. GMT

Does anyone have a full list of the Poirot stories dramatised by BBC Radio starring John Moffatt (and I believe Peter Sallis and Maurice Denham did 1 each).  I can't find a comprehensive list anywhere on the web.  I've heard some, but would like to track them all down.

The Sittaford Mystery  has been Dramatized for Radio and so Audio Cassette I know because I have it, John Moffett is in it and a while back And Then There Were None was on Radio 4 so I assume that is on Audio Cassette

Also, are they ever going to dramatize the remaining Poirot novels? And does anyone know if they'll ever dramatize the other novels not containing Poirot or Marple, like Tommy and Tuppence? I mean only in terms of radio, not TV.

Perhaps a system should be intrduced whereby you put a Post and it is checked before showing up on the site so then the spam won't be printed, that miht work but the site will lose something then.

Tommy_A_Jones 09 Jun 11 at 3:56 p.m. GMT

Thankyou GKC, I know he has dont Triangle At Rhodes and the one with Gervaise Chevenix Gore (Not The Second Gong) and he has done a load of Non Poirot's and The Unexpected Guest

GKCfan 09 Jun 11 at 1:55 a.m. GMT

Yes.  I don't know if Hugh Fraser has done all the Porots, and there are a bunch of Poirots that aren't radio plays, but there are many books that are both.

Tommy_A_Jones 08 Jun 11 at 5:03 p.m. GMT

I didn't make myself clear, Are stories done in both formats?

GKCfan 08 Jun 11 at 4:53 a.m. GMT

I think the Hugh Fraser readings are different from the radio plays (adaptations with a full cast) that we're talking about.  The Fraser readings are just Mr. Fraser reading the actual text of the book.

Tommy_A_Jones 07 Jun 11 at 3:47 p.m. GMT

Are some Hugh Fraser Readings aswell as Dramatisations? as I have The Clocks read by him.

Why are all these spam posts cluttering up the site ?

GKCfan 05 Feb 11 at 8:59 p.m. GMT

You're welcome!

Tommy_A_Jones 05 Feb 11 at 3:44 p.m. GMT

Thankyou GKCfan, I will have to get it, I have the Sallis version of Christmas and some John Moffett ones.

GKCfan 04 Feb 11 at 11:31 p.m. GMT

Denham's Blue Train  is a full dramatization, and is the first in the recent BBC Poirot radio series, followed by Sallis in Christmas, then the Moffatt adaptations.

Tommy_A_Jones 04 Feb 11 at 4:42 p.m. GMT

Is The Mystery of The Blue Train with Maurice Denham a Reading or Dramatisation? I thought Peter Sallis was the First Radio Poirot.

Tommy_A_Jones 16 Sep 09 at 2:37 p.m. GMT

I wonder if Julia McKenzie will be allowed to play Ariadne in Third Girl or if they will have to re-cast the role, I heard Elephant's Can Remember on Radio 4 a while back.

GKCfan 15 Sep 09 at 6:16 p.m. GMT

No, not all the Poirots have been done– Curtain and a few others remain.

Puffinjill 15 Sep 09 at 5:48 p.m. GMT

I've got a recording of Halloween Party and Ariadne Oliver was played by Stephanie Cole. I don't know if they have done Third Girl. I've not heard it on Radio 4 or Radio 7.
