A Christmas Carol | RALPH RICHARDSON | BBC RADIO 1965

Video Description

My Personal Favourite Radio Adaptation Version of the Great Work of Charles Dickens (A Christmas Carol). The Performance of Ralph Richardson has set the standards of the Scrooge character for the actors who came after him. The classic ghostly tale has been a perennial Christmas favourite adapted many times for stage, screen and radio. The story of a Scrooge, the Christmas-hating miser visited by three spirits is in turn emotional, heart-warming and chilling. Here’s a chance to hear a version first broadcast on Christmas Day 1965, starring theatrical titan Ralph Richardson.
