These were 12 radio plays of Agatha Christie's short stories. It's interesting that some of them had been updated in terms of the setting. For example, Philomel cottage is 2 Londoners in IT moving to the country, but still the story works. Some of them I recognised the story from the play, in others I'm not sure that I've read the original. It's always interesting to see how an original story copes with being updated, I think most of these survive the experience remarkably well. ( )
