Product Description
Product Description
Ian Carmichael is Lord Peter Wimsey, with Patricia Routledge as his mother, in this BBC radio 4 full-cast dramatisation. Dorothy L. Sayers' first Lord Peter Wimsey tale introduces many of the author's best-known characters. Wimsey's mother, the Dowager Duchess of Denver, rings her son with news of 'such a quaint thing'. She has heard through a friend that Mr Thipps, a respectable Battersea architect, found a dead man in his bath - wearing nothing but a gold prince-nez. Lord Wimsey makes his way straight over to Mr Thipps, and a good look at the body raises a number of interesting questions. Why would such an apparantly well-groomed man have filthy black toenails, flea bites and the scent of carbolic soap lingering on his corpse? Then comes the disappearance of oil millionaire Sir Reuben Levy, last seen on the Battersea Park Road. With his beard shaved he would look very similar to the man found in the bath - but is Sir Levy really dead?

I've not read the original so cannot compare this radio adaptation. However I can say that every one of the dramatisations that I have listened to have been very high quality and are a delight.
I realise that this and the other Peter Wimsey BBC productions were made back in the 1970's but this stuff simply does not date and is a testament to brilliant radio acting and production.
I heartily recommend this story and all of this series.

I just love these old fashioned books and this with other Dorothy L Sayers BBC Radio 4 CD's were bought for easy listening while sunbathing on holiday. The only minus was this was serialised on the radio and at the beginning and end of each part there was the opening and closing music that became repetitive.
As a fan of the Author and Ian Carmicheal as Lord Peter Whimsey well worth it.
