Wimsey: Whose Body?
Radio 4 Extra,
1.30pm/8.30pm
From 1973 comes this radio
adaptation of the first novel
in Dorothy L Sayers’s Lord
Peter Wimsey series. In
Whose Body?, published in
1923, the upper-class sleuth
investigates after a naked
body is found in a bathtub,
wearing only a pince-nez. But
who is he? The police are
confused — is he the missing
financier Sir Reuben Levy?
Enter our amateur detective,
played so memorably by Ian

Carmichael, above, to sniff
out the truth. The five-part
drama also features Patricia
Routledge as the Dowager
Duchess and Peter Jones
as Wimsey’s valet, Bunter.
Debra Craine
