The Skull Beneath the Skin - by PD James - BBC Radio Drama

More about it

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Written by P. D. JAMES and dramatised for radio by Neville Teller.

Greta Scaacchi and John Moffatt star in a thrilling adaptation of the PD James whodunnit.

Combining the ingredients of a murder mystery with elements of horror, apparitions and hair-breadth escapes, this is a Radio 4 dramatization of a Cordelia Gray novel. The sharp-witted sleuth finds herself in the enclosed setting of a chilling country house on an island with a blood-stained history...

Every episode plays from its archive, which this site does not copy; rights are as each archive states them. Nothing here is called public domain on this site's say-so. In the United States, sound recordings first fixed before 15 February 1972 have federal protection under the Music Modernization Act of 2018, for most until 2067 at the latest, so most American radio of the 1930s to the 1950s is not in the public domain there. Each set shows the licence, mark or statement its archive gives, and says whose it is. Horror, crime, war and westerns are for teenage and adult profiles, racist caricature for adults only, and children’s profiles hear what was made for children. More about these archives.
