Hard-boiled detective writer Raymond Chandler's most famous story The Big Sleep is well adapted to radio by the BBC. Toby Stephens stars as private eye Philip Marlowe. Stephens isn't Humphrey Bogart but who is. There's only one Bogey. If you like wise cracking hard as nails detectives then you love the BBC's production of The Big Sleep.
From the BBC:
Los Angeles PI Philip Marlowe is working for the Sternwood family. Old man Sternwood, crippled and wheelchair-bound, is being given the squeeze by a blackmailer and he wants Marlowe to make the problem go away. But with Sternwood’s two wild, devil-may-care daughters prowling LA’s seedy backstreets, Marlowe’s got his work cut out – and that’s before he stumbles over the first corpse.
