Agatha Christie's   Elephants Can Remember Dramatised by Michael Bakewell A provocative question posed by a formidable busybody sends Hercule Poirot and Ariadne Oliver on a series of journeys to unravel the mystery of a tragedy from the distant past - provoked in equal measure by love and hate. Hercule Poirot: John Moffat Ariadne: Julia McKenzie Chief Superintendent Garroway: Trevor Cuthbertson Celia: Rachel Bavidge Desmond: Ifan Meredith Mrs Burton-Cox: Paula Jacobs Julia: Jane Wenham Nanny: Barbara Atkinson Mrs Buckle: Elizabeth Proud Mrs Rosentelle: Jill Balcon Zelie: Alexandra Bastedo Mr Goby: Stephen Thorne George: Patrick Garland Music: Tom Smail Producer/Director: Enyd Williams The Saturday Play: Sat 7th Jan 2006 14:30 on BBC Radio 4 FM Hercule Poirot stood on the cliff-top. For here, many years earlier, there had been a tragic accident – the broken body of a woman was discovered on the rocks at the foot of the cliff. This was followed by the grisly discovery of two more bodies – a husband and wife – shot dead. But who had killed whom? Was it a suicide pact? A crime of passion? Or cold-blooded murder? Poirot delves back into a crime committed 15 years earlier and discovers that, when there is a distinct lack of physical evidence, it’s just as well that ‘old sins leave long shadows.'
