Guest Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 For all those who have read the book, or who remember the TV programme from the 70s (or maybe it was the early 80s), Radio 7 are broadcasting an excellent dramatisation of it. The first part was last Sunday. Part 2 is next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damon Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Brilliant - I didn't know about that. I read the book every year, and bully my kids into watching the old TV version (first broadcast in 1984). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Radio 7 version is very atmospheric, and each of the two parts is an hour and a half long. I think it was originally broadcast on Radio 4 some time ago (I recognise the announcer's voice), though if so, I managed to miss it first time around.

cgksheff Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 I can remember hearing it on the wireless as a child. It brings back cosy, warm winter memories. It was first recorded in the '50s for Childrens Hour but it must have been repeated 'cos I'm not that old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
