Biggest shortcomings were retained

Actually I wanted to this radio play so make a bow, because I know the rather unsuccessful book template. Through a special offer of 3.99, I then still be accessed. And after listening to I'm really glad not paid for it.

Story: The three ??? are again outside Rocky Beach road and roam the forests. There they meet a researcher together with assistants who are looking for an extinct narrow head Indian race. In recent days, has been spotted several times such Indians. Together with the police Angus, the son of the researcher to make the three ??? on the search for the "horse people".

Implementation:
Even the entry into the radio play is again very bumpy, as in the past two radio plays well. Only Justus told at length a story of two brothers who formerly roamed in the area, although Peter and Bob but apparently know this already. It is then only times better, the atmosphere is right and you can immerse yourself into the action. Here is (again totally unnecessary) introduced puzzles that is then entered into it without even the longer.
Then comes the next weak point already: Just you got used to the atmosphere of the Valley you will be thrown out there again and can be found in Rocky Beach at headquarters again. Similarly, as in "the city of the Vampires", as one leaves Yonderwood and thus leaves the gloomy atmosphere behind. What makes a lonely remote valley is the point when you can have it in no time neither behind him and is in a community setting? After a brief conversation it goes back again before leaving the Valley behind us be final and the case in familiar surroundings (Santa Monica, Rocky Beach ...) continues. Atmospheric possibilities of the valley were given and sacrificed for a modern, yet very konstruirte history.
On the plus side is really only that the course of action is somewhat tighter than in the book, unnecessary scenes (such as one in which Justus in Motoradkluft goes into a seedy bar and mimes to cool (only much worse than it already resulted in 143 ". ..and the Poker hell "has done)) has been removed and saved us. So I was the radio play-quarters also voted quite positive after three and was pleased that it is André Minninger this time managed to turn a weak book a mediocre radio play.
But the main weakness was unfortunately retained: The above mentioned puzzles. It is completely unnecessary and has absolutely nothing to do with the actual story and only serves the first sentences of the three ??? resume, and the researcher to bring a happy ending. The riddle is not solved "before the audience", not even in one of the well-known Justus monologues, but the resolution is still retold! A more boring way to deal with it I can not remember an honest said. Especially since the riddle refers to a place where the listener never was. In the book, at least the first few pages are used to it. These are likely to truly so far the most unnecessary mystery in the history of the three ??? act. This retelling place after the actual Finals, with a final surprise will again ride are included, but also that succeeds only mau. The play is unfortunately still not over, and runs even longer until the bow finally to completely unspectacular way is closed again.

Narrator: On the speaker power there is nothing wrong, there are striking voices selected, the individual rollers distinguish readily and for the most part very convincingly. Be emphasized Luise Lunov as a researcher. Thomas Fritsch as narrator has surprisingly little use of time, whether that is positive or negative must now jheder decide it has the radio play at least not damaged structurally.

Music and sound: The music is in my opinion average. It is not a piece of this, in which I would turn off the CD player prefers, but not one that is stuck in my mind longer. Rather unspectacular so, but that does not necessarily have to be bad. The sounds are used neat, but not outstanding, as is the case with other serials partly. By the old mode of production of the three ??? Radio plays is also not necessary. The shots sounded better this time, as partially in the past (Skateboard fever).

Conclusion: radio plays are currently just always set to music from Sonnleitner's weakest phase (... and the Phantom of the sea ... and the cloth of the dead, ... and the stolen victory (radio play is number 176)), which has Now times weak radio plays resulted. It will get better again.
The weaknesses and strengths in implementing keep roughly balanced, with a slight tendency to positive. Nevertheless, the radio drama is given the same rating as the book:

2 stars

Outlook: Next is the triple radio play at 175, where there the three ??? to the strangest Uni Ruxton. I hope André Minninger and Heikedine Körting put everything on one card, namely the humor. That was the great strength of the three books. Voltage default, it is difficult to get hold of the previous three-piece, because each of the three parts treats its own case, which are linked at the end, whereby the voltage curve always starts again from scratch. Nevertheless, it should be relatively easy to do with the presentation of Christoph Dittert, Kari Erlhoff and Hendrik Buchna a radio play that this outbids here loosely.
