Oh, I think Ian Carmichael is one I love, but I’ve only listened to him in radio plays where he’s only Peter, I guess. His delivery is so good. The working together parts of Have His Carcase are the best, too, so that’s a shame.
It’s doing my head in a bit that that’s now a historical novel setting, since I turned one that year.
Yeah, I found it kind of distracting that several characters were very close to my parents’ ages who also had small children at that time but otherwise a very different environment. Just couldn’t help making those comparisons as I read. And then thinking about reading stuff published in the 40s (by which I mean murder mysteries, mostly) would have been like that for my mother and that kind of made my head explode.
