Vane was played by Harriet Walter in the 1987 BBC television adaptations of "Strong Poison", "Have his Carcase" and "Gaudy Night" and by Emily Richard in the 1988 stage adaptation of "Busman's Honeymoon" at The Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith. In a 2005 BBC audio production of Gaudy Night, Harriet Vane was played by Joanna David.

These co-starred Peter Jones as Bunter. In the original series, which ran on Radio 4 from 1973–83, no adaptation was made
