Claim
F. Murray Abraham in the 2006 three-part BBC Radio 4 radio play.
Correction
The BBC Radio 4 three-part adaptation starring F. Murray Abraham was broadcast in 2000, not 2006.
Full reasoning
BBC sources date the F. Murray Abraham radio adaptation of Moby-Dick to 2000.
- The BBC Genome schedule for Sunday, July 2, 2000 lists “Classic Serial: Moby Dick” on BBC Radio 4 and says: “Oscar-winning actor F Murray Abraham stars in David Zane Mairowitz's three-part adaptation”. The cast list on that page identifies “Ishmael F: Murray Abraham.”
- The BBC Literary Archive also separately lists “Moby Dick (2000) | BBC Radio 4 | 2000” and, elsewhere on the same archive, distinguishes a different 2010 Radio 4 adaptation starring Trevor White and Garrick Hagon.
So the post's year is wrong: the three-part BBC Radio 4 production with F. Murray Abraham was a 2000 adaptation, not a 2006 one.
