- The Great British Radio Play Presents....................... The Unexpected Guest by Agatha Christie
A novel adapted by Charles Osborne from an Agatha Christie play. When a stranger runs his car runs into a ditch in dense fog near the South Wales coast, and makes his way to an isolated house, he discovers a woman standing over the dead body of her wheel-chair bound husband, a gun in her hand. She readily admits to murder, and the unexpected guest offers to help her concoct a cover story. But is it possible Laura Warwick did not commit the crime after all? If so, who is she shielding? As the gallant unexpected guest, Michael Starkwedder, looks for other enemies of the dead man he certainly isn't disappointed by a lack of possible suspects -- all with very potent motives...

I am 82 now but years ago I used to look forward to listening to “ Saturday night theatre “ I loved it , How I wish we still had those days . Thank you so much for posting this.
There are a lot of things we’d like to see return.
But this society is too far gone and it’s hopeless.
I'm 46 and starting those days nothing is lost if still in our hearts xx
My Father in Scotland only had a fireplace and the radio. He had to depend on his imagination. Better simpler times, when life was real
Yes, I agree!
I’m sure your dad felt like he was in heaven in your home. ❤
Heaven!
So life is not real anymore? Why not try getting one then !😸
We used to listen on long car rides in America. Such fond memories ❤
I am obsessed with radio dramas. This is so nostalgic. When you grew up listening to radio dramas. 😆😆 It was our entertainment for the night after dinner, before going to sleep, when the world slept early.
Thank you so much for your comment. It really warms my heart that you are getting so much joy out of this channel. I hope to bring you and others much more joy via great british radio plays in the future. Thanks again, and God bless 🙏
Oh you're so right I'm just the same. They really are fabulous.
Thank you for the person who downloaded it
I prefer it to TV and I was born in 1965 so TV was the main thing but as a teenager I discovered radio dramas on radio 4. I love Radio 4 Extra for all the old plays, but TH-cam is great fir variety.
I love this too!!! Grew up listening to the radio dramas on road trips. Fantastic!
And me makes two!! Just so so good. There's not one section, whether actors or crew, that can be criticised as letting the side down so to speak. Every part is fundamental to the other and makes for just perfection and totally English all the way, but I'm biased being a Scouser!! I've not read the credits etc but leading man sounds totally like Martin Jarvis i think his name is? Fantastic actor, more so radio i enjoy even tho he's prolific either way!!! Apologies for going on and on!! Just checked the cast etc and it wasn't MJ but crikey sounded so similar!!
I’m a Brit living in the States. I remember listening to BBC plays on the radio when I was young. Thanks for these plays. They take me back and they’re really enjoyable. So much better than anything on television.
Agatha Christie was so clever. Brilliant twist.
Radio dramas remind me of spending time with my elderly neighbours when I was 8 & onwards listening to plays on the radio with them, the spookier the better in front of a roaring fire in a big old armchair. Happy times.
Very good play
,Very interesting and inspiring
Memories listening to these on my parents old GEC Radiogram. Coal fire blazing away, sitting quietly and very happy back then. How the world has changed indeed.
I love the way my mind feels when I listen to this so away from the pain of the situation of our world 😢when evil was just something we read about 😢
Felt like I was back to being a child listening to the radio with my parents before we had a tv.
The many "red herrings" in this classic were DELICIOUS!
Grew up in the 50’s and we listened to the radio all the time. BBC children’s hour at 5 ‘clock Rebecca of Sunnybrook farm was a favourite. Mysteries in the evening. Being Scottish we always listened to Jimmy Shand and his band on a Saturday evening. My Dad always checked his football coupons which were announced over the radio on Saturday . Imagine finding that interesting ! Wonderful memories. Now live in Canada. Missed women’s hour when I first came in 1978. Eventually found lots of interesting programs here.
Me to , I love the radio from being a 10 year old ..Dick Barton’s special agent when I came home from school while lighting the coal fire.Emigrated to Vancouver Canada in the late 1960s. I had central heating for the first time in my life. I really missed the radio….but soon slotted into Canadian life …No longer live in Canada but have fond memories….Thank you so much for these stories ….
My mother loved radio dramas. Typically she would listen to them while she was ironing. Tonight, I did that too! Rest in Peace, Mam.
Love Agatha Christie ❤ 1:44
Just found this! New obsession
I remember listening to radio dramas in the car in the 40 s and 50s with my darling mother driving.a car similar to the one shown in this video. It was bliss.
Oh Ioved this! There is no one better than Agatha for crime novels
Superb acting all thru this presentation. Lots of twists and guessing but it turned out to be my initial suspect. I thoroughly enjoyed this play. Thank you.
These radio plays are great thank you for posting them. I listen to them when I go to bed. If I fall asleep I just listen again later. They remind me of being a small child in the fifties and bring back such fond memories of my mum . She would always tune into the afternoon play on the radio and I used to sit on her knee and fall asleep. Happy days.
Loved it excellent job
Nice it brings back such happy memories for you
At home in the UK I grew up with the telly, but at my Nana's we would sometimes listen to the radio sat on the 'settee'. Mesmerised us!
The ending is very unexpected ❤❤❤
the cast delivery of every syllable and mere utterance was spot on. Bravo 🙌 Encore🌟🤩
Good. Old fashioned mystery as opposed to some of the modern podcast stuff so beloved of the BBC these days.
I grew up with color tv and books on tape and cd. I'm thankful for my mom and granny who introduced me to these types of radio shows. They are so much fun and a break from screens and well acted instead of just read.
Thank you for sharing your library. 💖 🎙
I have loved radio drama since I first started listening to it back in the late 1960s, and I love it still. Far, far superior to most modern television drama.
Yes!
Could not agree more. Too many video producers get drunk on image. Must be the cannabis effect.
Well, I'd agree mostly, except Outlander and the first 4 seasons of Game of Thrones.
When we moved to South Africa in 1975 from the UK there was NO TV. I grew up on radio dramas. Theatre 🎭 of the mind ❤ loving these uploads
That was OUTSTANDING!!!!
I happen to be listening on May 15!
I got goosepimples when I read that!
@@maryflannery6805 A lot of very strange "coincidences" are happening to me via my phone. Lol
Excellent 😍😍😍😍😍😍
You know you’re in Britain in the 40’s when you hear “ let’s have a cozy little chat “
I first listened to this years ago. Brilliant play, great twist.
Takes me back to sleepovers at grandmas with her radio times and her budgie
Story = ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤
Cast Of Characters = ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤
Agatha Christie Was The Master Of The Twist Ending. ❤
In Glorious BBC Nostalgia...
Oh I am so glad I found this. When I got to go to England in my twenties, I loved being able to listen to the BBC plays on the radio. I wish we had something like that here.
I'm fed up with flimsy, poorly written modern radio drama. I love old radio plays..
I miss radio plays on the radio so much. Thank you! 😊❤
Excellent story. I really never suspected until the end. Well done Agatha!
Yes me also….right to the very end! Bravo!
Love Agatha Christie have read and reread my favorites over the years
She always did it, no one to touch her
Great twist......you fooled me! Thank you!
Excellent, thank you very much 👍🥂🍾
Thankyou very enjoyable
Excellent to listen to especially after a busy day.
Brilliant, caught me out good and proper. Thanks
Enjoyed! More stories please. This reminded me of being a young girl watching old black and white movies on TV with my granny
Excellent.
That’s very clever, l wasn’t inspecting that 😮

Oh, so wonderful! These radio plays are so excellent compared to 2023! Thank you for sharing.
I didn’t expect that.
Love the wireless.
I know we commented on this but it seems to have disappeared. We enjoyed this one very much. This summer we'll be having family over for a murder mystery picnic. This is our favorite channel. Keep up the great work.
Just discovered this channel ....thank you !!
So unexpected! Thank you.
Brilliant. Much better than tv.
Loved it! Excellent acting and of course, story ❤
Great plot twists! The queen of crime does it again! The play's atmosphere reminded me of The Mousetrap (highly recommended if you haven't seen it).
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank You
Very good!😊
The Mousetrap, (adapted from the short story Three Blind Mice), the play that has had the longest initial run of any play in the world!
I got to see it in London in '67. It had only played at that small theatre. My first play, but not my last, passed that love onto my daughter
Thank you these are so appreciated
Wonderful! Thank you!

Just found and subscribed to your channel. Radio dramas are wonderful, lots of scope for the imagination! Love picturing faces, surroundings, etc. Cant wait to listen to them all.
Oh wow! This channel just popped up on my feed. It looks fantastic. Looking forward to putting headphones on and listening.
Radio plays have better scenery, as they say.
Excellent. Loved this.
The final twist was brilliant!

podcasts are just a newbie version but the original is the best
Very good one! Agatha really was the Grand Dame of mystery.
Laura Warrick did an amazing job with her part! Her soft and silky voice and her expressive delivery of words… I am in awe 😮. Very well done Laura
It is a wonderful story and audio.
An exciting story performed with great acting and skill. Thank you for reposting.
Very well done; so many of these are over the top over-acting but this one was right on target, so to speak!
Has anyone else heard the story of the twins that actress & comedian Joyce Grenfell use to tell, twins were asked if they preferred the television or radio, one twin said he loved the television, but the other loved radio, "why do you love radio?" he was asked, he replied "i love radio because you see the pictures more clearly".
Outstanding loved this ❤
I love this more of it please.great stuff.
Had me hooked. Brilliant! ❤️
I got a bit lost in the end there was reading something and listening and got confused about the men’s names and characters 😂
bet you drive and use your phone too
