Just finished listening to "Agatha Christie's 12 Radio Mysteries" released by BBC.Sadly, this collection of dramatized radio plays based on short stories by Agatha Christie is a mixed bag because the producers decided that some of the stories should be modernized and made more contemporary in order to appeal to a wider audience.A big mistake - especially since the left leaning political stances of the producers and writers are not hidden in their virulent anti-American stances when spoke by the various actors.The dramatized stories in this collection are: "Philomel Cottage; Swan Song; Magnolia Blosson, Witness for the Prosecution, The Gates of Baghdad, The Hounds of Death; In A Glass Darkly; The Dressmaker's Doll; The Case of the Perfect Careet; The 199 Pound Adventure; The Gypsy; and The Last Seance.""The Gates of Baghadad" is the best audio drama in this collection. Sadly, to apparently promote a Progressive Socialistic Liberal agenda, "The Gypsy, The Last Seance, and In A Glass Darkly" and bashed Desert Storm, the Afghan War, and the Iraqi War.So as frequent readers of my reviewers know, I do deduct starts when writers and directors feel that they must imbue stories espousing pro-Progressive Liberal Socialistic Propoganda. So I've deducted two stars from five. I'm also deducting a star for modernizing stories and moving them in directions that Agatha Christie never intended and would probably be appalled to learn what was done to her work.Sadly, I can only recommend "The Gates of Baghdad" in this collection.Sadder still, I really can not recommend this collection to even die hard fans of Agatha Christie. Modern day political commentary has not place in classic mystery stories.Not Recommended.One Star.
Love bbc full cast audio books.
