BBC Radio 4 - Fright Night Kim Cattrall's narration of this adaptation was superb. I saw the film years ago and was scared silly! Kim Cattrall reads the classic best-selling horror about a young, newly married couple who move into a fashionable Manhattan block which harbours a terrifying secret.
A special Halloween one-off abridgement of this darkly brilliant tale of modern devilry by Ira Levin (The Boys From Brazil, The Stepford Wives) which later was faithfully adapted by Roman Polanski into an Academy award-winning film starring Mia Farrow. According to film-making legend, Polanski didn't realise he was allowed to make changes, having never adapted a novel before. Whether or not this was true, the fact remains that nearly every line of dialogue in the film was taken from the novel's text.
Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall, who was directed by Roman Polanski in The Ghost Writer, is making her radio reading debut on Radio 4.

I thoroughly enjoyed this play. I listened to it on iplayer radio with headphones on whilst making the Xmas cake. I've enjoyed Jekel and Hyde and also the omnibus version of the Brighton bathers. I love radio plays.

I've just been listening to episodes of Raffles,whist making and wrapping presents. Raffles! Great stuff. You often get people sniggering about the relationship between Holmes and Watson, but never over Raffles and Bunny, which is pretty overtly that way, at least on Bunny's side: that time he gets jealous when Raffles is paying what he thinks is too much attention to a woman, for example. The walking arm in arm thing is nothing - men did that in those days - but Bunny's adoration of Raffles comes over as much more than simple hero worship:  |
