More Audio and Visual

smallhobbitI've now listened to all the available Ngaio Marsh CDs while in the car. I've tried various other CDs, but none have been particularly exciting. There were some Agatha Christie short story dramatisations, but I didn't realise they were modern versions, and I didn't care for them. I'm currently listening to some Sexton Blake short stories - because the company I ordered the Christie from sent me Blake by mistake and didn't want it back. It's very gung-ho, but passes the time on the journey across town to visit my mother. I've just ordered a couple of Margery Allingham Campion stories which hopefully will play their part in the traffic.
I'm still working my way through Audible's collection of stories read by Richard Armitage. I've enjoyed the two Joy Ellis stories 'The Murderer's Son' and 'The Fourth Friend'. I listened to Jeffrey Archer's 'Heads You Win' (probably the only way I'd encounter one of his stories), and it was ideal for when lying in bed with a heavy cold. And also C J Tudor's 'The Taking of Annie Thorne' which was okay but really my sort of thing. On my journey back from holiday on the coach I must have listened to about six hours worth of audio books, every so often swapping between two stories, so a definite plus.
And currently I have a subscription to Stitcher because they are broadcasting a weekly podcast of Wolverine: The Lost Trail, with RA as Wolverine. Such devotion. In fact, I'm really enjoying it, as a gripping story well told. I put my headphones on (I listen on my phone), shut my eyes and I can see it all. It's difficult to explain, but to me, although it's an audio experience, it's very visual.
I've hardly watched television for the last couple of months. More4 are now showing Season 2 of Berlin Station, but so far I haven't liked it as much as Season 1. I'll continue to watch, although since it's not broadcast to past 10pm, half the time I watch it on catch up (which eliminates the adverts as well).
And, thanks to a recommendation frommoth2fic I've ordered the DVD of 'Desperate Romantics'.
