A Christmas Carol

Available for over a year

Charles Dickens’ classic ghostly tale has been a perennial Christmas favourite adapted many times for stage, screen and radio. The story of a Scrooge, the Christmas-hating miser visited by three spirits is in turn emotional, heart-warming and chilling. Here’s a chance to hear a version first broadcast on Christmas Day 1965, starring theatrical titan Ralph Richardson. Scrooge/Storyteller: Ralph Richardson Bob Cratchit: Frederick Treves Mrs Cratchit: Mary Wimbush Jacob Marley: John Ruddock The Ghost of Christmas Past: Wilfred Carter The Ghost of Christmas Present: Ralph Truman Fred: Bruce Beeby Tiny Tim: Shelia Grant With Eric Anderson, Jo Manning Wilson and Rosalind Shanks Music composed and conducted by Christopher Whelan Adapted and Produced by Charles Lefeaux
