Publisher's Summary

Two boys out sledging in their local park find the body of an old woman in the snow. Who is she? How did she come to be there?

Over 10 episodes, this compelling series moves backwards and forwards in time to reveal the chain of events that led her to that point. We meet members of her family, her friends and the people she has encountered, all of whom provide clues to help us put the puzzle together. From the police and paramedics to the nurses and residents in an old people's home, each character has their own relationships and circumstances - and on our journey to understanding the old woman's story, we hear theirs too, combining to form a brilliant kaleidoscope of modern life and love.

Christine Bottomley, Marcia Warren, Neil Dudgeon, Amelia Bullmore and John Rowe are among the stars in Katie Hims' funny, poignant drama.

Directed by Mary Peate.

TOO slow-moving

(May be TOTALLY fine for those without ADHD.)

I tried to listen to this book. Tried. Very hard. When I found myself almost dying of boredom, I tried to listen to small bits at a time. Nope.
I think that it’s the EXCELLENT production (acting, sound fx, directing, mixing, etc.) that made it boring to me; each scene taking place in real time (with the usual time-jumping gaps in-between), with the proper fx, etc., was too slow for me! When a book/show is performed by a lone person, it takes place at the speed of the reading, which is almost always faster than real time.
It’s very likely my ADHD that makes me not able to handle a book/story’s individual scenes progressing in real-time ;-P So, if you don’t have ADHD, you may enjoy the realism of 24 Kildare… :-D
