As a writer he created the characters and wrote the first five books featuring retired art teacher Miss Emily D. Seeton, a gentle parody of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple.
Ten years after Carvic's death, his books were re-issued in the US and proved sufficiently popular for his Estate to commission further Miss Seeton stories from two other writers using pseudonyms with "HC" initials. Roy Peter Martin as "Hampton Charles" wrote three novels, which were all released in 1990. Sarah J. Mason, writing as "Hamilton Crane", then took up the series (Wikipedia)

Nothing better than a sturdy umbrella.
My comment has nothing to do with the plays as such, but just to say how wonderful it is to read other listeners comments. More often than not, the grammar is a joy, and I find myself reading out loud in a sort of imitation of the actresses. Thankfully no one can hear me because I probably sound nothing like, but it amuses me!!
I adore Marjorie s performances as Steve Temple ...a wonderful actress!!! I listen to all the Paul Temple Cases several times every year!Thank You so much for this!!!
So much better than the rubbish......
these days..... don't you know...
What a comedy of errors! From beginning to end. Miss Seeton on her way to London’s Royal Opera to see Verdi’s Macbeth & we hear music from Bizet’s Carmen! And the policeman going back for her umbrella will discover more than that! Really enjoyed this. How the world has changed. Not all in bad ways, for sure. But if this is how average people in the U.K. entertained themselves of a Saturday night, bless them, for we shall never see their like again. The days of the Wireless, before TV. Thanks to you & the BBC’s archives, we can get a glimmer of what it was like then. 👏👏👏🙆🏻♀️🇬🇧📻
I always call it the wireless. Excellent diction. Every word crystal clear.
@@jamescrowley8637 Sure is.
Since “discovering “ classic radio back in ‘08 I enjoy it so much and now think of it as “the wireless” also!
@@jamescrowley8637 My parents called my wireless connection to the t'internet "radio"! 😆😆
Thank you for the wonderful nostalgic experience. Humerous entertaining and kind. Enjoyed it very much.
Marjorie Westbury who played Paul Temple's wife "Steve" for over ten years, is a radio legend. She and Gladys Cooper ruled the Drama airwaves in the 50's A listener who enjoyed her work so much left her all her money, which was initially rejected by Ms. Westbury - who begged the listener not to do this.
Don Wardell how interesting! Gladys Cooper must’ve been great on the airways as well-I have enjoyed her work on the screen! Thanks for sharing👍
Its great to hear her in other roles
She is wonderful. So reassuring in a crisis
Yes! I remember hearing about that.
I LOVED her as Steve & found out just how great a voice actress she was when I saw her standing next to Peter Coke! Looked like his mother! Yet sounded so young. That's talent.
I love Miss Seeton and such a treat having 'Steve Temple' playing her! Thank you for uploading this.

By Timothy was that our Steve, what a treat indeed :)
It's a fine radio play this one-I haven't heard one as good in years.
Fabulous entertainment! Thanks for sharing 👍
Another classic from The BBC, great story!!
Can't beat classic radio 😂
Great fun. An eccentric marriage of Miss Marple and Cold Comfort Farm. Highly recommended. Bless you for posting this.
Immediately I thought of Miss Marple lol
I wish I could find CCF again on YT! Blessings & happy listening yall fr Nashville ☺🇺🇸
.....and "The Ladykillers"
Especially the use of an umbrella in the plot.
An interesting comparison.
I’m sure I’m fifty years behind the times, but this is so much more pleasant than modern stuff!
Thank you lovely! X
So wonderfully clever and entertaining
This one is truly excellent!
Fab fab and fab so enjoyable❤❤❤❤
Many heartfelt thanks 👏👏👏🇬🇧
Always fun. Tysm
The character of Miss Seaton is new to me, and was a happy surprise. I was expecting another Miss Silver, with a touch of Marple. If there’s Miss Marple it’s more the Margaret Rutherford type! Lots of action and well drawn characters. Thank you for the upload.
Is there any chance Miss Silver had any plays, and if so, could you one day upload them? Please? Thanks again!
Really entertaining + fun. Lots happening + interesting characters. Terrific acting, to be expected with the line up. Hi from Oz 👇💜🙃
Really enjoyed..thank you.
That was good
The novel by Heron Carvic adapted for radio by Betty Lambda
with Marjorie Westbury and Gerald Deacon
When Miss Seeton found herself the horrified witness of a brutal murder she little thought that her modest gifts as an artist could prove so valuable to the police.
Delightfully naive and quite charming😅 thank-you, I really enjoyed it!
Absolutely loved this, thank you.
Really enjoyed this. Nice to see Mrs. T. in her own starring role. Shame they didn't make it a regular series. Many thanks for all your uploads.
Thia is a great find! I used to read the books but there were so few that i could find! Thank you so much

Marvellous xx
I love the books. I look forward to this adaptation. Thank you!
Nice to hear Masher Willkins with a part in the story
Thank you
-1:25:26, I'm beginning to smile, I'm enjoying her comedic timing very much. 😀👍
Isnt that a little late in the game?? 5 minutes from the end??
@@Stormlucy111 g
Pitch-perfect entertainment.
Can share anymore Miss Seeton I've been trying to find some, I do have some of the audiobooks ready to order but I was hoping to find some on here or another dramatized version.I love the way this mystery is done! Thanks so much for Sharing hopefully there's more to come! Your time and effort are much appreciated!!

@@luluappler Thank you so much for that info! First time I have encountered a "Miss Seeton" play. Do you know who created the character?
@@margaretnorvell9555
I believe it is by Heron Carvic 😊
Only one gripe - Callas never played 'Carmen' on stage. She did, however, record the full opera with Nicolai Gedda.
So did Victoria de los Angeles... & won a Grand Prix du Disc.
she referred to Callas re 25 minutes applause not her perfomance as Carmen.
@@JanetElson So, she got 25 mins of applause for?
More of these!

thank you, loved this one!
Charming old battle axe helps detectives take down bad guys. Life affirming entertainment.
Delightful! Marjorie Westbury is always a treat to hear.
Franco Corelli singing Don Jose in the beginning..... :-)
Well done
They (& she) can "just see her as Carmen" after she's called it "rather sordid"?! See how complex we humans are?
Thanks for this funny mystery play. A mixture of comedy, mystery and drama.
With the garbage spewing out of Hollywood these days, it's nice to find alternative entertainment that have good characters and stories and themes.
Too bad there was no more Miss Seeton audio dramas, not even new ones.
It'll be great if there was a TV series. Then again, modern writers will add woke contents.
Again, thanks.
Not sure about this, rather silly 😮 The minute the Morton chap was described by the Vicar, it gave the whole story away🤔
Angie a teenager? Sounds positively middle aged.
Why would a country policeman have a gun?
Enjoyed this, thank you 😊
But have to add the actor playing the girl was too old. Didn't sound right at all 🤔
I’ve questioned this too the actors playing young girls sound about 35-40! Perhaps there weren’t enough young girls available for these BBC dramas. Does spoil the listening delights. Thanks anyway.
Perhaps they wanted to convey how sullied she had become…
😂
It's a nice story, but seems unfinished somehow
'Miss Seeton' has a high pitched shrill voice. Gave up listening after 1 minute!
Miss Seeton's voice is irritatingly loud and shrill. Gave up after a few minutes.
Miss Seatons voice is unlistenable for me…….overpowering
