Radio review: So much more than two people yakking in a studio Radio can be a kind of temporary haunting

"Here were two beautiful and evocative stories told by the people from Falling Tree productions. Yes, radio can be so much more than two people yakking in a studio..."

Great to see both Alan Hall's Cannon Fodder and Eleanor McDowall's Into the Ether in this -

Yes. Someone sent me a video of it. They’d approached me years previously about “an attraction at a theme park”. Then it all went quiet. Then I heard about it and eventually got through to them. They’d used it “on the blanket”. I got not a penny. And I don’t have a US lawyer to enquire further. ;)

Thankyou. Of course, I adore the original score. It’s largely responsible for inspiring my choice of career. :)

Happy Doctor Who Day, folks. Like me, I am sure they don’t feel a day over 62. Thanks to @benjamincook.bsky.social for the picture and to the Bad Wolf team for a great day out which included playback review to sign off my mix for the new edit of @bbcdoctorwho The Sea Devils. We hope you’ll enjoy it.
