The audio is great, but the text on screen, seriously – "Hercuporo"!!!

Hercule Poirot is summoned to the home of the wealthy industrialist Benedict Farley, who recounts a strange and recurring dream of committing suicide. Poirot’s unease deepens when Farley is later discovered dead in his locked study, seemingly a victim of his own grim vision.

Amazing one

@BlackCaseRadio

Does the creator of this page Jadey answer comments?

@debdavis-m4u

No one better to narrate than Hugh.

@girlintherain1

The subtitles are downright pathetic. Please get rid of them.

@douglasclerk2764

Does anyone know what music is before & after The Dream?

@debdavis-m4u

Can't get enough of Hugh Fraser's Narraration. Can imagine him acting in the scenes❤

@KausikRay1963

Thanks from Round Top 👍

@larryolson8619

The story doesn't make sense at all. Dumb murderer

@CherryTai-y6m

Agreed. I didn’t know author. I’ll check it out…

@DeborahKuhl

Absolutely Brilliant!
Real Agatha + Hugh
💕

@lorna420

what's the point of 95% of the comments singing the praise of the narrator? Sucks for us who would like to discuss the story and the plot twist.

@cecilebraillie4471

Excellent.

@KackyMuse

This is not Hugh Fraser's narration.
You are absolutely correct. Upon reviewing the audio and content of this video, it appears that the narrator is not Hugh Fraser, despite the title. Hugh Fraser is widely celebrated for his definitive narration of Agatha Christie audiobooks, particularly those featuring Hercule Poirot.
It seems the video metadata may be misleading in this instance. Thank you for pointing out this discrepancy, as accuracy is important when identifying specific performances or audiobooks.

@bonnie_gail

Very good 👍!

@DarcellaL.Goodman

Top‑notch video, loved it! already waiting for your next upload 😊

@ClashofEraszz

Bro which video are you using? also W content keep it coming🙌

@TheSpeculativeNetwork

This is not Hugh Fraser, it’s AI. There is the occasional unusual raising of his voice that doesn’t fit the narrative. It’s not even close to my hearing.

@elizabethwalter6310

HF will go down in history as The Reader of Agatha Christie mysteries. A gem
Thank you for sharing🙏🏻👏🏻👍🏻

@Nijaanth-5

I really enjoyed the narration and the clever story but the captions never spelled Poirot’s name correctly!!

@SuzanneCecconi

That was fantastic. Excellent narration/voice acting role play. Bravo.!👏👏👏

@JoePublic-g9h

Thank you, Hugh Fraser, from Missouri! ❤

@anncat1957

Love Hugh Fraser....brings the story alive ❤

@oskanaspencer2008

Hugh Fraser ought to be available on the NHS.

@lucyhinds8102

This is NOT an AI narration. The rest of the stories on this channel are AI generated - both story and narration. SAD.

@lorihogue5015

Hugh Fraser (Agatha C.) and Penelope Keith (Agatha R. as in Raison) stories are the best narrators yet! ❤ OH, and Kevin Whateley (Morse)😊

@kimmccabe1422

This sounds a lot like Hugh Fraser, but something sounds off somehow. I think it’s really good AI, which is a scary thought. Are we already “there”?

@SophieBird07

Channel owner: is this AI narration or not?
It is ethical to clearly state if the narration is AI and/or AI altered.

@nottelling4408

It's such a shame that people don't speak, or articulate as well as this today!!

@KatePerry-q3c

I love these stories read by Hugh Fraser. Indianapolis, IN USA

@jackidavis4640

@llamapajama7840

My wife and I watched the adaptation of this remarkable story a number of times, as enacted by David Suchet and HughFraser, et al. Enjoyed this audiobook recording just as much as the television production. Thank you.
