Book reading on BBC Radio 4 Extra: Amsterdam

[Lynnedean]

I've been waiting for this for a very long time! In 1999, the BBC broadcast in ten 15-min parts a reading by Mr K of Ian McEwan's book Amsterdam. At long last, it's now being repeated ...

BBC Radio 4 Extra
Episodes 1-5, Monday 10th to Friday 14th
- broadcast at 2pm UK time then repeated at 2am next morning
Episodes 6-10, Monday 17th to Friday 21st
- broadcast at 2pm UK time then repeated at 2am next morning

You'll find it on the BBC radio iPlayer, which is now called Sounds (renamed in an attempt to sound more "with it" to attract younger listeners!) ... https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m0001hgl

Happy listening, folks!

NOTE: I said yesterday that there was a problem with the playback cutting short, and that I'd reported it to the BBC. I've now edited out that comment, because the BBC were very quick to respond, and the episode now plays in full.

Listed to this yesterday. So great to hear something "new" from our man. Annoying that it cut off.

Just listened to Episode 2. All fixed. Thanks, Lynne.

I'm really loving his reading of this. If he's given up acting, wish he would at least do audio books.

Thanks for this welcome news, Lynne. I've followed your link, and have just
listened to the first two episodes.. It is lovely to hear those golden tones again,
and I am looking forward to hearing the rest of this story, read by my favourite
narrator.
