About this listen

Nicholas Le Prevost stars as the French detective in four new BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatizations. These new adaptations of classic stories find Maigret recreating four memorable cases for his creator Georges Simenon.

In ‘Maigret: A Man’s Head’, a convicted man is allowed to escape, then followed by police investigating a double murder. Maigret finds himself entering glittering society and a war of nerves with a suspect.

‘The Bar on the Seine’ sees a condemned man telling Maigret about a riverside drinking hole where a murderer lurks undetected. Pursuing the clue, Maigret witnesses a death and discovers a much older crime....

‘My Friend Maigret’ finds Maigret investigating the murder of a tramp on the French island of Porquerolles - but he is hampered by the attentions of Inspector Pyke of Scotland Yard.

Finally, in ‘Madame Maigret’s Own Case’, when Madame Maigret makes a friend outside her dentist’s office, she stumbles upon the resolution of one of her husband’s most stubborn investigations.

Some nice Maigret stories however Nicholas Le Prevost is the wrong choice, in my view, as the voice of Maigret. I personally much preferred Maurice Denham as Maigret with Richard Gough as the narrator. The stories were still decent but the actors spoiled it a bit for me.
