quotation from A Tale of Two Cities as last line read aloud by Tony Last

In the short story, the man who loved Dickens, as read aloud by Leonard Nimoy on NPR, the last reading wasn't from A Tale of Two Cities. I remembered it as frightfully ironic that the opening lines of Dickens' "Tale of Two Cities" were read by the hapless captive of Mr. Toby: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness..." Maybe, that was my imagination. Or maybe, Waugh's tale was altered in another version on radio or TV that I may have heard or seen. Does anyone know if TTC's opening lines were the last lines of another radio or television version of The Man Who Loved Dickens?
