I do wish that a most of the announcers etc on TV would take a lesson from these speakers, it seems that nowadays the worse your presenting skills are the better the job you get.

I love this as a film and watch it every year, it made a change having to make the mind work and visualise what was happening.

Once again thank you Brian most entertaining.

I do enjoy radio drama, like you say you form you own idea of the surroundings and the characters appearances in your head, even more so when you haven't seen a film or TV version. Sometimes if you see the film version after the radio version it can be a disappointment due to your own perception you have built in your mind.

Thank you Brian. I have the 1951 film, with Alistair Sim. Like Liz, I watch it every year. I agree that you form your own idea with radio. It’s the same with books. I read all the James Herriot books years ago and Siegfried Farnon, the senior vet was tall dark and slim. I could not get used Robert Hardy playing the part.

It is indeed, talking about All Creatures Great and Small have you watched the Channel 5 remake, I thought it closer to the books, and what always baffled me about the original was Helens accent she came from an isolated farm mixing with people who all spoke in a Yorkshire dialect including her family yet she spoke without a trace of an accent.

I use to love sitting around the radio (And Fire) with the whole family.
