A festive repeat for the BBC Radio 4 adaptation of the literary classic 'WATERSHIP DOWN'.

On BBC Radio 4 Extra this week .. Thursday 19th & Friday 20th December, the TWO-PART Classic Serial of 'WATERSHIP DOWN' gets a repeat airing. The production marks the 30th Anniversary of the books publication. Originally broadcast in 2002 on BBC Radio 4, it was recorded at the much missed Studio 3 at BBC Pebble Mill. It was adapted for radio by Neville Teller (MBE) and direction was by Peter Leslie Wild. I remember it was a challenging but joyous recording process, very happy memories. Many stalwarts of BBC Radio Drama were featured including a young Felicity Jones (Doctor Who, The Amazing Spider Man 2 & A Monster Calls). I played Silver, described in the book as a large rabbit with grey fur (it was radio!), great fun to play. I also remember the cast often joking about the lack of female rabbits (does) in the production.  

All Sean's Christmases come at once with a bonanza week of BBC Radio Drama repeats on offer ...

The BBC Radio Drama adaptation of Lindsey Davis's first Roman sleuth detective book 'THE SILVER PIGS' has a pre-Christmas airing.

This week in the early hours of Wednesday morning, 1.30am to be precise the first of Lindsey Davis's Roman sleuth series to be adapted for BBC Radio, 'FALCO - THE SILVER PIGS' will enjoy a repeat transmission on BBC Radio 4 Extra. The four episodes will go out on consecutive days finishing on Saturday. I play Atius Pertinax in episodes one and two. It stars Anton Lesser as Marcus Didius Falco and Fritha Goodey as Helena Justina. 'THE SILVER PIGS' was dramatised for radio by Mary Cutler and direction was by Peter Leslie Wild. More festive radio repeats for me this week, again on BBC Radio 4 Extra ... with 'WATERSHIP DOWN' also getting another outing. See my next post ...
