The BEST radio production of Dicken\'s\"A Christmas Carol\" is The Campbell Playhouse production with Orson Welles and Lionel Barrymore as Scrooge.  This one isn\'t very good- it\'s so-so.  E.G. Marshall; while good as the host of CBSRMT and as actor on his own, isn\'t as crotchety and miserly sounding as Lionel Barrymore.  Barrymore\'s role as Scooge is THE classic epitome of Ebneezer Scrooge.
