Across to the USA and back to 1939 with Orson Welles and Lionel Barrymore and The Campbell Playhouse with A Christmas Carol.

The number of times I have watched A Christmas Carol are too many to count, so thanks for a totally different version, I enjoyed it.

I have also watched a few versions of A Christmas Carol. I still prefer the black and white film with Alistair Sim.

I thought a radio version would let you listen at your leisure or when doing something around the house. Barrymore and Wells performed this for a number of years on radio. Its a different way to enjoy a
Christmas favourite.
I like Alastair Sims version too but think Michael Caine does a very good job with the Muppets.
