Margery Louise Allingham was an English novelist from the "Golden Age of Detective Fiction", best remembered for her hero, the gentleman sleuth Albert Campion.
Initially believed to be a parody of Dorothy L. Sayers's detective Lord Peter Wimsey, Campion matured into a strongly individual character, part-detective, part-adventurer, who formed the basis for 18 novels and many short stories.

It’s a beautiful day in March and I’m stuck in bed poorly. A wonderful story, but I did get confused with a couple of characters I need to hear another of her stories. I wonder why she’s not as famous as Agatha Christie as her stories are just as good Thank you ☺️

I have heard the actress who portrays “Granny” in so many radio plays! She is one of my favorite radio actresses!

Absolutely marvellous ! I love these old melodramas. When written no TV, cinema in its early days, families huddled round the wireless.

1940? Hollywood was in it's prewar heyday when the book was written. After the War there were very few horse drawn hearses and black plumes were unknown

Now is the time for ghost stories and fantasy! Perhaps two radio play ghost stories I’ve produced AND a brand new mystery listed on my channel “Claude Chabot Presents” right here on YT AND a radio fantasy comedy, “A Trip to the Moon” starring Joyce Randolph of The Honeymooners, which features Larry Robinson, who, as a child actor, actually worked with Orson Welles. Here’s the link: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Hex2ltykNTM.html--Claud. If you don’t want to click the link just search “Claude Chabot presents” on RU-vid.

The difference between a great play a good play and a bad play are the actors involved with out quality actors the play drama storey would fail to hold my intrest it's identity and intrest . Also sound quality great vocal diction helps alot as well.

@elizabeths4371 11 месяцев назад

These radio dramas are really entertaining and I'm thoroughly enjoying them, but I can't get over how cool the Brits are when a murder happens right under their noses, then when they're told that THE murderer is in the house WITH them, they not only manage to stay calm but carry on as if they've nothing on their minds except their next cup of tea.

I have to admit I find the speech too abrupt and staccato. Other than early recordings of QE11 I can't believe anyone actually sounded quite so uncomfortable.

@alitob5911 2 года назад

Not the most subtle of Allingham's stories and very '40s style BBC melodrama production. An indication of the times is the prevalence of very dated and now totally unacceptable terms and attitudes.
