Want to listen to Peter Capaldi

May 22, 2024 12:21 PM

What can I listen to that will fill my ears with Peter Capaldi? Any good audiobooks (besides "Watership Down")? I love his vitriolic "Thick of It" delivery, but I'm willing to give almost anything a try.

Capaldi also narrated the audiobook of Sputnik's Guide to Life on Earth, which is a novel for children, but an enjoyable one.

looks like the first two hours of his reading of Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four" is on YouTube!

Which implies that all of these are the same Peter Capaldi, maybe?

These are short, but here are two of his appearances at Letters Live.

He read Iain Banks' Wasp Factory (warning: extremely gory, animal abuse, also to children). Possibly in an abridged version. It's fiindable on youtube

Wikipedia: "In 2018, he voiced Rabbit in the Disney film Christopher Robin. The next year he narrated an audiobook version of Watership Down and Sputnik's Guide to Life on Earth. He won a AudioFile Earphones award for his narration on both books."
