Just to mention that Radio 4 (UK) is broadcasting the following programme on Saturday (12th September) at 8 PM GMT.....

Agatha Christie's Life in Her Words

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.

Might be interesting.

You can listen to a recording of the the broadcast at  http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00mj64x/Archive_on_4_Agatha_Christies_Life_in_Her_Words/

Kevin Elyot is one of the panelists. Val McDermid leads the discussion. They both made some insightful comments about Agatha Christie.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! Monkfish, you a star!! I didn't realise this was being broadcast. I was aware of Radio 7's schedule but forgot to check Radio 4's. I might have missed it!!!

I hope it is repeated some time as I can't listen at that time and I personally haven't the time to listen to Iplayer or whatever it is called, I might record it if it was on Television but not radio.
