Summary

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.

Brilliant adaptions

I have read the Peter Wimsey stories many times, but was tempted by the audio versions while recovering from surgery. Ian Carmichael is the perfect Lord Peter (I loved him in the TV adaptions!). The books are now dated, but as enjoyable as ever. Highly recommended for Dorothy L Sayes fans

stately and fabulous

I'm always sorry when I reach the end of a LPW story. if only he really existed! And Ian Carmichael surely is the embodiment of the character.

The Lord Peter Wimsey

Ian Carmichael is Lord Peter Wimsey as far as I'm concerned. This dramatization brings the books to life and now I cannot read them without hearing the voices of this cast. Maybe not for everyone but I really enjoyed it.

We all need some Lord Peter in our lives

I adore these dramatisations of Lord Peter Wimsey stories, and Ian Carmichael is the perfect voice for him.

The only issue I have with this drama collection is the incredibly jarring music at the beginning and end of each and every episode/chapter.

Apart from that, I absolutely love this!

A bygone age of detective work

Read the books to see her complete writing gift. They've chopped and changed Harriet's actor which frustrates but it's still wonderfully put together.
