Excellent thing: gaining access to the Audible audio adaptation of A Christmas Carol because they’ve given me yet another free trial and that’s included with membership.
Even better thing: THAT CAST. I mean. Derek Jacobi as Dickens, Kenneth Cranham as Scrooge, my beloved Roger Allam as Jacob Marley, MIRIAM FRICKING MARGOLYES as the Ghost of Christmas Present, and Brendan Coyle and Tim McInnerny and Jamie Glover and Jenna Coleman and Joshua James and Emily Bruni and and and and.
Entirely predictable thing that is making me facepalm at myself: look. In my defense, I listened to it using my headphones. And then Roger as Jacob had these... angry/frustrated/caring/distressed growls. So really it isn’t my fault IN THE LEAST that I found that inappropriately sexy and now have even more Jacob Marley feelings than usual. ;-)
(Which really was already a lot. Jacob’s past hoping for himself and he gets that second chance for Scrooge (and we never know what he had to do to get it but it can’t have been easy) and it’s so incredibly selfless especially coming from someone who was not selfless at all in life and I just have to hope that knowing that he’s succeeded in making something better despite everything gives him comfort and aaaaaah.)
Also entirely predictable: Jamie Glover is one of the best voice actors I know of anyway (not nearly enough people know his work) and then he’s Bob Cratchit and you get to That Bit and I may just have sobbed through the whole thing. I always cry at that bit, to be fair, but not like that. Aaaaah.
Assuming I still have access to the thing after I cancel my membership (because I do prefer not to give Amazon money when I can help it), I’ll listen to it again at Christmas. <3 Extremely well-done, very good adaptation all round. The script is very good and is very interesting in its choice of which bits to adapt (always fascinating what people go for); the acting is absolutely the best I’ve seen or heard in any adaptation of the story. In particular I think Kenneth Cranham is even better than either Patrick Stewart or Michael Caine as Scrooge and I do not say that lightly as they were both amazing.
