Radio review – BBC - “Mr Standfast” (2008) ** by John Buchan

Decent enough version of one of Buchan’s weaker Hannay novels. The actors do good work, but it suffers a little from cutting away from the scene at times, eg a moment where Hannay asks what happens to a character and they cut to sounds of an execution. I get what they were getting at but it’s a bit jarring. Not as much fun as Greenmantle.
