I'd been contemplating the Ian Carmichael readings of Dorothy L. Sayers' novels for a while, so I was pleased to acquire a copy of the BBC radio play of Whose Body? with Carmichael in the lead. This worked very well indeed; Carmichael sounds like Lord Peter to me, and the other voices were also suitable. I'd re-read this pretty recently, and it seems a faithful adaptation. I won't necessarily log more of these, but it seemed worth recording that I'd heard it, especially for those considering the unabridged versions on Audible.com.
(I was interested to find that Lord Peter is notably less sympathetic in audio format, though not enough so to make listening unpleasant.)
