I'm just going from a list on Wiki, so the next ones seem all pretty standardish. There is one that Patrick Stewart did as a one-man show on stage, but I seriously doubt I'll be able to track down a recording of it, which is a pity. When you have to stick generally to the storyline there's not a whole lot you can do and still remain true to the spirit of the novella. I think you'll enjoy the Blackadder one though.
I guess it doesn't count, but I did find a Youtube vid of an audiobook of A Christmas Carol narrated by Patrick Stewart.
