All six Barsetshire novels have been dramatised for Radio 4 by Martin Wade, and directed by Cherry Cookson. The first novel to receive the Wade/Cookson treatment was ‘The Small House at Allington’. Adapted in four parts for BBC Radio 4 in 1993, the programme was so successful that Radio 4 went on to commission the remaining five Barset novels, which were broadcast between December 1995 and March 1998.

Each novel was adapted independently and each retains its own identity, complete with its own music. The cast includes Kenneth Cranham, as Josiah Crawley; Brenda Blethyn as Mrs Dale and Anna Massey as Lady Lufton.
