About this episode

Ebeneezer Scrooge is visited by the ghost of Jacob Marley on Christmas Eve, leading to a transformative experience.

It’s Christmas Eve.... Jacob Marley has been dead for seven years exactly – when he returns to the world of the living to pay his old business partner a visit. Not that Ebeneezer Scrooge is in the mood for receiving guests. Still less for learning the lessons that Marley’s fellow spirits have in store for him. But one thing is certain: this is a Christmas that Scrooge will never forget.     A Noiser podcast production.   Narrated by Sir David Suchet  Written by Charles Dickens  Additional material by Duncan Barrett, Pascal Hughes and Joel Duddell  Produced by Duncan Barrett | Head of Production: Natalie Brook-Reynolds | Recorded and mixed at The Soundhouse Studios | Sound design by Wilfredo Acosta | Sound Supervisors: Tom Pink and Oliver Baines | Compositions: Dorry Macaulay and Oliver Baines | Music performances by Dorry Macaulay, Oliver Baines, Coen Baines | Exec Producers: Pascal Hughes, Katrina Hughes, Joel Duddell.
