TV drama following the turmoil of football club Manchester United
through the Munich air disaster that killed a number of its staff
and star players. In February 1958 a flight leaving Munich-Riem
Airport crashed on its third attempt to take off. On board were the
famous 'Busby Babes', a team of gifted young players led by the
famous manager Matt Busby, returning to Manchester after successful
qualification to the European cup semi-finals. A number of players,
including Duncan Edwards, were killed in the crash, and still more
injured. This BBC dramatisation of events follows star player Bobby
Charlton (Jack O'Connell) and coach Jimmy Murphy (David Tennant) as
they attempt to recover from the crash. With Busby (Dougray Scott)
still hospitalised with his injuries and so many of their players
gone, stand-in coach Murphy and the still-grieving Charlton will be
crucial to the success on the field that would honour those so
tragically lost.
Twelve classic Christie short stories are given a modern spin in
these BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisations. Agatha Christie is the
acknowledged 'Queen of Crime', and these twelve short stories
showcase her skilful plotting and talent for producing compelling
mysteries. First broadcast in the early 2000s, the stories were
adapted and brought up-to-date for a contemporary audience. Among
the star cast are Tom Hollander, Emilia Fox, Patricia Routledge,
Julia McKenzie, Neil Dudgeon, Richard Griffiths, Rebecca Front and
Andrew Sachs. Unconventional detective Parker Pyne features in two
of the stories, all twelve of which are infused with Agatha
Christie's trademark tension and suspense. These tantalising tales
of revenge, jealousy, love and death will thrill her many fans. The
stories are: Philomel Cottage Swan Song Magnolia Blossom Witness
for the Prosecution The Gates of Baghdad The Hound of Death In a
Glass Darkly The Dressmaker's Doll The Case of the Perfect Carer
The GBP199 Adventure The Gypsy The Last Seance Duration: 5 hours 30
