They are really good adaptations, the second series is even better than the first, no doubt due to the proficiency of the voice artists and the double-length episode format for The Calculus Affair and The Red Sea Sharks.

I'm recording these to mp3 so I don't lose them when the streaming rolls over next week.
Very wise! And when can we expect the â€œJonny Crossbonesâ€ radio drama??

If any of you havenâ€™t used the â€œListen Againâ€ service, the show is available as a RealAudio stream for seven days from broadcast. Make use of it while you can!

The reporter part is specified, because he is writing to his editor.

How many Tintin's does this Editor have on his books?

"No not Tintin the boy reporter but the Tintin who does the horoscopes!"

I was commenting that it was a rather vain way to refer to yourself

I thought it did seem a little egotistical, but perhaps as he's writing for publication, in this OK!/Hello! age, people might want to read what he's written simply because he's famous.

Personally, I think it'd sound better if he'd said "Tintin, reporter" - factual, to the point and harking back to his Petit VingtiÃ¨me days.

Maybe â€œFamous Boy Reporterâ€ is his job title?

That's true - I also think that "Tintin, reporter" would be reminiscent of the Petit VingtiÃ¨me era, and sounds slightly more realistic than famous - I doubt anyone would introduce themselves as 'famous', as such ...

Alan Partridge might.

Hi
I was listening to 'The Red sea sharks' on the radio cassette - 'four further adventures of Tintin', and I heard the pilot of the aircraft that crashes saying that Tintin was english. I know the shows the made in England but isn't the fact that Tintin is Belgian one of the key points!

I always presumed the pilot was talking about Haddock? He says "We have a mad dog and an Englishman on board", during which Haddock shouts at Snowy. And Haddock is generally held to be English - there's a discussion on this forum here. Anyway, the line is a reference to a Noel Coward song, Mad Dogs and Englishmen.

Funny reason to prompt an emergency landing on the beach, though!
