![]() ![]() Colin Morgan’s voice is delightful as always. The adorable Colin Morgan, Newt Pulsifer in the radio play of Good Omens and Merlin in the TV series of the same name, is Loki. ![]() Natalie Dormer, whom you have probably seen as Anne Boleyn in The Tudors or as Margaery Tyrrel in Game Of Thrones plays the goddess Freya. We hear Derek Jacobi’s distinctive voice as Odin and goodness, he is Odin! I’ve been a fan of this actor since I, Claudius and Brother Cadfael. The role of the Teller - Njordsdottir - is played by the wonderful Diana Rigg, but she is not the only one listeners might have heard before. She ends up as the storyteller, telling him the Norse myths, which are acted out as a play. It starts with a mysterious woman who calls herself Njordsdottir -presumably the goddess Freya - visiting a hospital and talking to a sick child, Magnus. Neil Gaiman himself does his usual cameo role, in this case a radio announcer talking about the weather. I do have the book and was hoping to find the actual audiobook of the original, but it wasn’t on Apple or even Kindle, for some reason, and it’s constantly out from my library, so I bought this instead, and I have to say, it’s very good, especially for the amazing cast. ![]() ![]() I have just listened to the BBC Radio 4 adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s Norse Mythology. ![]()
