Death in the Afternoon
Jan. 7th, 2013 04:21 pmMort on Radio 4 Extra
I'm not the biggest fan of the radio Pratchett adaptations – I've blathered about this in the past and will refrain from doing so now – but thanks to so many things I've heard in the meantime, this one is especially hard to get into. MORT! Starring Inspector Xavier March, 'Atch' Atkinson, and every secondary baddie from Bleak Expectations. It's just surreal.
Speaking of Atch, I don't even really imagine him sounding like Carl Prekopp anymore, thanks to indoctrination into 'gruff, monosyllabic' 'canon' Atch and distance from the radio play ... and Carl Prekopp, I don't know if he actually was much younger when they recorded this or if they just sped his voice up a little, but wow does he sound young.
What did I say about blathering?
Anyway, episode one is only valid till Wednesday, and the others drop off sequentially after that, so get on it if you feel like listening ...
