About this listen

Ian Carmichael stars as Lord Peter Wimsey in these classic BBC radio dramatisations of Dorothy L Sayers' Golden Age crime novels.

Gentleman detective Lord Peter Wimsey starred in a number of novels and short stories by Dorothy L Sayers. These full-cast adaptations – first broadcast on BBC radio between 1979 and 2010 – are cherished by crime aficionados worldwide.

Murder Must Advertise sees Lord Peter going undercover in an advertising agency to investigate the death of a copywriter.

The Nine Tailors finds the aristocratic detective stranded in a remote village, where he is drawn into a case of stolen jewels and an unidentified body.

Gaudy Night takes place at Harriet Vane’s old Oxford college, where a series of spiteful pranks and poison-pen letters have torn apart the academic community. With Lord Peter’s help, can she uncover the perpetrator?

In Busman’s Honeymoon, newlyweds Harriet and Peter have their marital bliss disturbed by a body in the basement – and are once again embroiled in a murder investigation.

These evocative dramas also feature Allan Cuthbertson, Peter Jones, Joanna David and Sarah Badel.

Just perfect!

These dramatisations are great! The books are naturally better, but if you want to just listen to a great adaptation you can’t go past these. Ian Carmichael is Peter Wimsey and is the anchor to each performance and never fails to deliver.

Best of the three

This third volume was produced with a little different music and the lead ins didn’t seem as loud though that may just be subjective. Great stories and lovely to see Lord Wimsey happy and content at last.

Interrupting credits

The performance and story were horribly marred by the announcements of the acting cast members at both the beginning and end of every single chapter. The excessive interruptions ruined the continuity of the stories. Very disappointing.
