Great reading and entertaining plot. Thank you very much for sharing this with us to enjoy.

Thank you. I liked a lot.

Nice but too many ad breaks 🤷🏼‍♀️

Who is this narrator? Audio acting really. Heard him many times before and have always rated him in the top ten. Must know his name. Anybody help? Many thanks.

Born in the seventies, commercials were pee and snack breaks. Also, the latest about our favorite products. We couldn't afford. Thank you. Greatest kindness sharing your joy with us.

Scaffolders who rely on each other for safety - 'Salt of the Earth people'. Rough and very strong, very tough, many people find them scary, they ain't, who will do anything to help anyone - working class, is what he is describing

Lovely ads interrupted by the story 😢

The. Ads are so annoying and ruins the whole experience

Thoroughly enjoying this narration. Each character has its own voice brilliantly interpreted.. thank you for uploading it

Wonderful narration by Hugh Fraser, but annoying and frequent ads.

To many ad's,!!

Read by Nigel Anthony. What a terrific actor! His voice for Alice Flowers is perfection. Any man who can sound so convincingly like an 87 year old female victim of multiple strokes is tops in my book! 2:32:50.

A commercial every five minutes. Outrageous. Didn’t get past 15 minutes.

You can pay Utube $26.00 and have 6 people in all not to have any ads. My daughter pays for me and her family. Very nice not to have ads. ❤

Im not near done and i have had 16.COMMERCIALS!!!

Love to listen to these wonderful books but my only question is,how come they don't smell when a gun is fired.

Thank you! Great upload. Although I did find the background music a little distracting 😮

Too many ads

amazing outtro music!

Decided not to listen to bad reviews and I can’t be more happy.this is just brilliant

Thank you! The music at the end is so beautiful, what is it?

Thank you for the stories

Love listening to Hugh Fraser reading these stories!

Thank you Hugh Fraser

Her official biography "Let's Do It" reveals a much more complex woman than many would imagine, struggling through her life to get out of the shadow of the neglect from her parents. Her stage persona was described as an "optical illusion" put together with her ex husband's advice, and she could often be dismissive of her audiences, being recorded saying "Oh God, they think I'm that woman off the tele" and "I don't know what these people think they're getting out of this" when asked about fans who went to meet her backstage. Her relationship with her close collaborators was also not as close as it might seem. Julie Walters said she hadn't been to Victoria's house for years and it had become a working relationship more than a friendship. She also said that she'd becomd very wary about telling Victoria anything personal as she'd have no qualms about using it in her work. Celia Imre said she often felt bullied by Victoria and was also reluctant to tell her anything personal. Duncan Preston always felt Victoria didn't especially rate him and was upset when she made him screen test for Pat & Margaret after Jim Broadbent said he didn't want the part. Dawn French, while friendly with Victoria, has also spoken about how difficult she could be, describing their comic relief sketch as parricularly stressful. She also mentioned a time when Victoria came to stay with her in Cornwall and was morose and hard work, complaining about her room all the time. On one visit to the beach for a walk, Dawn lost her temper with her when Victoria announced she didn't like beaches. Other collaborators such as Anne Reid mentioned how Victoria's obsessive perfectionism could be very difficult and stressful. The cast of the touring show of Acorn Antiques said she came to the final show and met them all afterwards. They were expecting her to be happy and to congratulate them, but instead she brow beat them with a lecture about how sloppy their performances had been.

Read by Hugh Fraser! Magic words. The best narrator on TH-cam!

Awful and ad every other paragraph of 😡

What happened to chapters 1-9?

Exploring Agatha Christie’s “Hickory Dickory Dock”: A Mystery Unfolded Agatha Christie's "Hickory Dickory Dock", first published in 1955, brings readers into the world of Hercule Poirot, the famous Belgian detective, as he tackles a curious case at a student hostel. This novel, although initially appearing to revolve around petty thefts, soon escalates into a complex web of murder, deception, and hidden identities. Plot Overview The story kicks off with a series of seemingly trivial thefts at a student hostel located on Hickory Road. Items such as a stethoscope, a box of chocolates, and even a diamond ring found in a bowl of soup baffle the residents and arouse Poirot’s interest. The mystery intensifies when one of the hostel's residents, Celia Austin, confesses to some of the thefts but is later found dead in an apparent suicide, which Poirot quickly deduces to be murder. The investigation uncovers a darker narrative involving smuggling, false identities, and multiple murders, all linked to the enigmatic character, Nigel Chapman. Key Themes and Characters The novel delves into the psychological aspects of the characters, particularly exploring themes of identity and deception. Nigel Chapman, the murderer, is revealed to have a dual identity, using his cunning to manipulate and eliminate those who threaten to expose him. Poirot, alongside Inspector Sharpe, unravels the mystery, revealing the twisted motives behind the crimes. Other significant characters include Miss Lemon, Poirot’s usually impeccable secretary, who first draws his attention to the case after making uncharacteristic errors in her work. Mrs. Hubbard, the hostel’s warden, and various international students residing at the hostel contribute to the rich tapestry of personalities that make this mystery both engaging and complex. Literary Significance Hickory Dickory Dock is noted for its diverse cast of characters, which reflects post-war British society's multiculturalism. However, some critics, including Robert Barnard, have pointed out that the novel represents a decline in Christie's mid-century works, citing the plot's improbability and a forced attempt to incorporate a broader range of character types. Despite this, the novel remains an entertaining read, especially for fans of Poirot. Cultural Impact and Adaptations The title, derived from the well-known nursery rhyme, is one of Christie’s more tenuous links between a book and its title, serving primarily as a catchy reference rather than a central theme. The novel was adapted into a television episode in 1995, starring David Suchet as Poirot, further cementing its place in popular culture.
