There's been a very good radio adaptation of the original novel on R4 the last two Saturday afternoons - worth catching on the i-player. Still doesn't send a tingle up my spine like Richard Burton's intro though - "No one would have believed in the last years of the 19th century........."

Richard Burton could probably have that affect reading anything.....Nothing I've heard since has had the same impact on me as hearing,as a kid,RB reading the opening lines of 'Under Milk Wood' utterly magnificent and spellbindingly hypnotic.

Totally agree. There is supposed to be, somewhere, a recording of him reading extracts from David Jones' In Parenthesis, which I would love to hear.
