BBC radio did a reading of the Raffles stories 40 years ago. More recently a radio production starring Jeremy Clyde. Both were excellent. But this with the casting of the duo of Raffles and Bunny, attractive interiors and costumes, and excellent adaptation by Philip MacKie is a very worthy production. Anthony Valentine was such an excellent Raffles - I suspect it was his best role.
I would have preferred it to have stuck to the book for the first episode where Bunny meets Raffles having lost at cards. The book was better. EW Hornung was in my view a better writer than Conan Doyle and difficult improve on but Philip MacKie's was one of the best adaptation I have seen.
Just a shame that more of the Raffles stories weren't produced
