About this listen

Ian Carmichael stars as Lord Peter Wimsey in these definitive BBC radio dramatisations of Dorothy L Sayers' classic crime novels.

Aristocratic amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey was the master creation of Dorothy L Sayers, widely acknowledged as one of the four original 'Queens of Crime'. These full-cast adaptations - first broadcast on BBC radio in the 1970s, and presented here in their entirety - are admired by fans of the genre worldwide.

Whose Body? is the tale that first introduced Lord Peter to the world, and sees him investigating the case of a corpse in a Battersea bathtub and a vanished oil millionaire.

In Clouds of Witness, Lord Peter's eldest brother stands accused of murder. In collaboration with Inspector Parker, Wimsey slowly uncovers a web of lies and deceit within his own family....

Unnatural Death finds Peter probing the mysterious death of an elderly lady. He suspects foul play, and with the help of the indomitable Miss Climpson, sets about his investigations in deepest Hampshire....

Produced by Simon Brett (author of the Charles Paris series), these acclaimed dramas also feature Peter Jones, Patricia Routledge, Miriam Margolyes and Garard Green.

Although entertaining, I found the insertion of the music chapter in and chapter out infuriating. It was quite distracting and irritating after a while. The story was fine, the plot OK- a little long -and dragged out for me.

Fairly entertaining

A mix of sparkling nostalgia, subtle British comedy and clever mystery. Wimsey and Bunter remind me of Jeeves and Wooster in their repartee and friendship. Listening to the stories as radio dramas with full cast is a delight very much like watching a play. Between acts there’s music for dancing. It’s something I can listen to again and again because it’s fun and interesting.

These three stories provide wonderful adaptations of the respective Sayers's books as one would expect from the BBC - high quality. Highly recommendable.
