Part 1

Charles Dickens Ghost Stories

Available for over a year

It’s Christmas Eve. Jacob Marley has been dead for seven years exactly – when he returns to the world of the living to pay his old business partner a visit. Not that Ebeneezer Scrooge is in the mood for receiving guests. Still less for learning the lessons that Marley’s fellow spirits have in store for him. But one thing is certain: this is a Christmas that Scrooge will never forget. A Noiser podcast production. Narrated by Sir David Suchet Written by Charles Dickens Additional material by Duncan Barrett, Pascal Hughes and Joel Duddell Produced by Duncan Barrett Recorded and mixed at The Soundhouse Studios Sound Design by Wilfredo Acosta Sound Supervisors: Tom Pink and Oliver Baines Compositions: Dorry Macaulay and Oliver Baines Musical Performances by Dorry Macaulay, Oliver Baines and Bridget Hughes Exec Producers: Pascal Hughes and Joel Duddell
