Radio review – BBC - “Greenmantle” (2005) *** by John Buchan – BBC version

Enjoyable, faithful adaptation of the second Richard Hannay novel, with the actors seeming to have a particular good time with the various accents – German, Afrikaans, American, Turkish. The adaptation doesn’t shy away from some of Buchan’s (Hannay’s) judgements about Germans and so on. It captures the pace and adventure of the story, and the acting is very strong.
