Moffatt was such a gentle spoken Poirot. he had such a special way with the character. imagine being able to convey so much through voice alone (character actors are amazing - they’re not given as much credit as they deserve :) 🌷🌱
What a delightful surprise to find this on Halloween season! I'm fond of this story, and adore the work of Stephanie Cole. Thanks so much for the post.
Thank you for an excellent radio production. Excellent casting, believable voices, wonderfully produced and directed. I LOVE English radio plays, over American ones. Takes me back to my childhood, when TV reception was difficult and sometimes non-existent. Thank you once again!
I only just found this channel and it is so wonderfull!! The voice of Poirot is allmost completly like that of David Suchet. Ariadne is allso very good. The whole cast, and especially the childrens voices are wonderfull. And lets not forget the sound background, it emulates specific places and atmospheres most successfully. Thank you for this woderfull story, I look forward to listeni g to even more of them.

I like Stephanie Cole. And, John Moffatt sounds amazingly like David Suchet. Or I suppose I should say, David Suchet sounds amazingly like John Moffatt. Either way, it's a wonderful production.
I second every compliment about casting, talented and believable acting, production quality and that Ive loved British Radio Theater productions since I heard Hitchhiker's Guide forty years ago. Bravo and Thank-you!! Also I would have thought Moffat WAS Suchet. Brilliant portrayals of Hercule Poirot 🎉
@@lindamoorhead3007 Saw a couple of snippets of Hitchhikers when it was on our local PBS station, but just couldn’t get into it. Most of the BBC’s other content has been a delight! The U.S.’s networks are so into profits for their upper 5 + Shareholders that it leaves N O F U N D S for actual programming. O.M.Golly !! EVEN SAMSUNG, our tv’s manufacturer, PROVIDES C O N T E N T from previous network programming - “Numbers”, “Murdoch Mysteries”, “Murder, She Wrote” … guess they see the writing on the wall = you can’t sell tv’s to a market that gets n o t h i n g worth watching over the airways !!!
I hope UK listeners will take every opportunity to support the BBC ie the source of this and many of these plays. They will get no royalties and the actors will get no repeat fees.
Wonderful 👍 I am listening to this a few weeks before Halloween. Very appropriate and appreciated. IDK, it might be recorded already. There's a Poirot novel where murder happens around Christmas time. Would it be possible to have it here? If it was made into a play that is. Thanks a bunch.
i remember still hearing about oversexed girls or women in the late ‘50’s. i didn’t really know what it really meant as a preteen or teeny bopper, except it wasn’t a desirable trait. in my young 20’s, the phrase was scorned and died out pretty much. how disgusting - being oversexed!! imagine “heavy petting” being a bad thing. how very repressed some women were then - especially in middle class England. Then “Valley of the Dolls” was published - 1958. as i remember looking back to when i was 13, this was a turning point. not great literature, of course, but a best seller. big sensation “her nipples were as hard as diamonds.” LOL ‘ooo’ giggles all around. :)
1 John 1:8-9 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. This life isn’t all there is, for anyone who thinks that God is not real and the Bible cannot be true, just needs to look at the evidence left at Sodom and Gomorrah, The Red Sea crossing and Noah’s Ark, and every prophecy written has come to pass, including now in our days. Our whole world is based on Jesus Christ’s life, BC and AD, for a reason, because he is very real and so is Judgement. Don’t give up the free gift of eternal life without seeking Jesus with all your heart first, he loves you more than you will ever know, and anyone who does will soon know how real he is. God bless. ❤🙏🕊
Actually, Samhain is the Irish tradition. Anyway, I believe she was speaking of the American way of celebrating Thanksgiving with pumpkins, even more than Halloween. I guess the English didn't go all out. Not at that time, anyway.
True it originates in Ireland but when the Irish went over to America in the 1800s, we took a lot of our traditions with us. Irish people used to carve turnips but the Americans used pumpkins for Jack o lanterns instead. Then they commericialised the hell out of it. It originates in Ireland but I can see why people would associate it with America 😊
Going way way back when I was young it was called "Duck Apple Night" we carved faces out of turnips and put a candle inside, apples cut up in a bowl with coins at the bottom [duck apple] and apples hanging from string, trying to eat without using hands. The "Trick or Treating " we have now is an American import around the 1990s
Blame the person who wrote this adaptation. A lot of the dialogue, especially in the beginning, is not hers at all. In the book, Ariadne tries to start a conversation about the origin of Hallowe'en but everyone ignores her, or just want to talk about the events at the party.
The production is wonderful! BUT this has got to be the WORST, most boring Agatha Christie story I have ever heard! Thank goodness I didn’t waste my money on the book.
Brilliant ❤❤❤❤ it makes my mouth water❤❤❤❤

Just what I needed on a crisp October night.
Ok all you old souls. Three cheers for the British Radio Theatre shows.🎉
As soon as I heard Stephanie Cole I was in. This is so delightful and unfussy.
What a delightful surprise to find this on Halloween season! I'm fond of this story, and adore the work of Stephanie Cole. Thanks so much for the post.
Yes, me too. And I’d like to hear Stephanie Cole read novels as well. She has a voice that bright and interesting without overacting 😊
Thank you that was brilliant ❤
Excellent once again. Love a radio play - good to listen to when doing a tedious job. Many thanks.
Thankfully I have a really good pair of wireless headphones that pair excellently well with my iPad!!
Excellent all around, story, voices... Wow!

Perfect for the Halloween season ❤I just adore Hercule Poirot’s mysteries…. Almost as much as I love Halloween 🎃👻
I should've saved this for Halloween 🕸🎃👻 🦇🦇 🧙♀ 60days too long to wait...
RIP Our Ariadne🐾 2005-2023
Very much appreciated, thank you ..
Thanks.
Thank you!
Very enjoyable. Thanks.
Very good
John Moffat is a bit grumpy but this is still a great story and production
I hope UK listeners will take every opportunity to support the BBC ie the source of this and many of these plays. They will get no royalties and the actors will get no repeat fees.
Sure. When they stop supporting pedos.
😍
This was a good sleuthing there
The film version death in Venice is good
Brilliance ! to all
Make a playlist please thanks

Why do you put so many periods in the title? Strange and unnecessary. Hard to read the title because of this.
Just a tip.. you don’t have to read the period signs, stick to the words.. that’ll make sense😂
Did she just say Poyrow for Poirot???
Great, very enjoyable....except for the AWFUL intro & outtro.
cast?
Watch & listen until the end. The cast is on screen and read out.

Halloween is an Irish tradition not American. Do your homework
It’s Agatha Christie who wrote the story. Blame her.

I love this audio. But i cannot listen to these lies no more. David being of Hungarian heritage should know better
What are you talking about? What lies? Who is David? Just curious.
The actor voicing Poirot is John Moffat. Sir David Suchet is the actor who brought the detective to the TV screen. Different performers.
@@lorihogue5015 David Suchet's ancestry as Lithuanian, not Hungarian. As if it matters in this context.
@@VLind-uk6mb I wasn't the one raving about Sir David Suchet being "Hungarian". I'm very aware of who he is and where his family comes from.
The production is wonderful! BUT this has got to be the WORST, most boring Agatha Christie story I have ever heard! Thank goodness I didn’t waste my money on the book.
You have to remember that they cut out 5 hours of the story to make the radioplay. The story isn't one of her best, but it's far from her worst.
great radio play, but the hideous ai images are nightmare fuel. call inspector japp, a murder of human creativity has been committed!
Wonderful ❤
Thank you ❤
Thank you ❤
