  • So it would seem we have hit 100 subs! It's amazing to have every one of you along for the analogue trip, so especially for you we have this little gem...George's Marvellous Medicine.
    This is a great Roald Dahl story, and an equally great dramatisation. Even though my copy is from the Collins Theatre Collection, it was originally a Rainbow production from 1985 (BOW 139). Hence Edward Philips being attached to it.
    Patricia Hayes does a great turn as the Grandmother. Such a lot fun, Enjoy!
    Thanks for listening, MG

    This is a great narration of a good story. Had it on tape years ago and here we are with CZcams having the goods again. Thanks..

      Same here, had this over 30 years ago on cassette I think. Just read the book to my own kids for the first time, then went searching for this

    THANK YOU FOR POSTING THIS. I’m 35 years old and embarrassingly have been looking for this audio for over a decade. Fondest memory listening to this when I was only 4! Incredible!
    How do you have this?!?🎉

    Haha, this is the audio book edition I had as a child! So pleased to have sourced it on here as my 6 year son has just discovered Roald Dahl and i just adored this dramatisation of the story😀

    Thank you so much. After I lost my vision, this was one of the original audio book on tape that my parents acquired for me when I was 10 or 11. A classic of a radio drama. Amazing catchy music, and amazing voice acting all round. Never fails to entertain. xxx

    Forgot how much fun this was or how many times I listened to it way back when.
    I think the lad who played George was probably their best child actor, and Stephen Pacey is as awesome as always.
    Like the BFG, this was also one with truly fantastic music.

    A very nice adaptation! My only complaint is the music, while it's very nice and catchy it frequently interferes with key scenes. But other than that, good voice acting and very faithful to the book. Steven Pacey was also Mr. Kranky in the Puffin dramatisation.

    • @TheMonkeyGrinder
      @TheMonkeyGrinder  Před 3 lety +1

      I agree on the music, it didn't need to come in much more than at the beginning and the end. But really enjoyable all the same.

    Finding this made my day! You don’t by any chance have Richard Pascoe reading The Minpins? I’ve been after it for years and can’t find it anywhere! Thanks so much for the content.

      Glad you enjoyed it! I don't have the minpins recording. I think i have seen it for sale in the past, but I have so many tapes that still need archiving I don't have room for any more at the moment!

    I think it's a real shame that this story isn't a film yet; I think it should be. Does anyone know who voices George in this audiobook?

    Hi, as ever good recording. Have you come across the rainbow 🌈 version? Is this the same or similar?

    • @TheMonkeyGrinder
      @TheMonkeyGrinder  Před 3 lety

      I believe this is actually the same as the Rainbow version. Georges Marvellous Medicine and BFG were also Rainbow recordings originally.
