Flawed but Interesting
I actually first heard this series on the radio many years ago, and remembered it with enough affection to buy the cd set. It has held up pretty well, all things considered. It isn't the most original of stories, and you can see it coming a mile off, but it does have a lot to make up for that - a careful building of atmosphere, good use of music and effects, and of course the pairing of Vincent Price and Peter Cushing in the lead roles. Both actors have such wonderful voices, and give their usual sterling performances - Price, fruity and humorous, the perfect foil for Cushing's incisive coolness. Well worth a listen.
