Very enjoyable 🥺
My favourite ever reading!
Great narration this is very good
Did he say id like to see your womb 🤔😵💫👀🤨
Absolutely blown away by this when I first heard it on the radio. Thanks for allowing me to refresh my memory.
I've got a couple of other Paul Evans plays on the channel - but also a handful of little sketches of UK birds that he did especially for Halloween... his style is very distinctive...
Thanks, I have "Owls" on my list for later.
Good story .... Beware quiet, mild-mannered accountants 😉. (Narration drags a bit.)
Thankyou !
another great tale !
Awful script… could have been a good story

Mary, Ann - run for your lives!
A fantastic narration!
Great story and narration, thank you!
thank you throughly enjoyed this
Yeeoo
Masterpiece
Is there a list of the actors?
Definitely a PERFECT example of not knowing the WHOLE NARRATIVE does NOT equate to JUST ACTIONS! In fact more harm can be done out of false righteousness. It’s a definite moral tale & a reason to FIND THE MIDDLE WAY for SELF rather than working up for or against sides! Great stories were the Twilight Zone!
Parable of modern day seemingly .
Fabulous! Thank you for that.
Really enjoyed this production, although I wish it could have been longer. I gave up on the Bill Nighy version after ten minutes because I found his performance so grating. Many thanks.
Basis of the TV series 'The Charmer' (Nigel Havers as Gorse and Bernard Hepton as Stimpson)
Great idea for rock music….😜
Thank you for this very well done dramatization of the classic story! Try to see the 1973 movie version starring the late, great Donald Sutherland and Julie Christie. Really unnerving and worth the watch!
Oh no, I love the film - as you say, incredibly unnerving. There's an earlier BBC radio adaptation on this channel too, from about twenty years back, also well done.
Gee whiz this was excellent
Fantastic film and the ending ! 😮😮😮
Not heard of "Someone in the Lift". What a shame the TV version is lost.
Yes, it was shown as part of 'Late Night Line Up' - but rather intriguingly they *have* recently re-discovered a reading of The SIgnalman recorded for Late Night Line Up in the 1960s, performed by Emlyn Williams. I had no idea that existed either, but given that Williams's 1950s reading of the story for TV is lost, it's a wonderful compensation...
Great story good acting. Music not so much
I like the narrators voice. Don't get caught with your hand in thr cookie jar, it might be like that pain box in dune.
Lovely!! Thank you so very much
I've got several Angela Carter plays on here, including earlier versions of Vampirella...
Just watched the Oscar winning film again shown v late last night 😮
This is ridiculous.
Thanks for the upload ❤ Fortunes are best left untold.
It was creepy as hell. 😮
I liked the narration good voice. Although I don't see what's so mind-rending about being able to see into this other world
I enjoyed this story. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
That was a good episode…,a real good episode….😉😄
He’s no Serling but Stacy Keach did well with these later productions.
This was rather good. though I do miss the Mcainbridge demon voice, I think the way they went about it was effective.
This was missing from TH-cam for a minute.. it maybe my 10th time listing this abridge version. Bout the book and audiobook as well but by far this bbc radio drama version is the best…
This is Beautiful creepy.. scary child
It's very unsettling... and quite influential, with its idea of a hugely dangerous, powerful child. In particular the film 'Looper' seems to borrow heavily from it...
That was brilliant. So well acted
So enjoyed this!Thankyou
Beautifully sad, but with a heartfelt ending!
Enjoyed this. Thank you😊
Wonderful story,so atmospheric I could almost taste the salty air , beautifully read and gentle piano playing a winning combination
I visited whitby because of this book series 23 -26 june 2024
Thanks for posting, I'm acquiring a taste for this series.
OMW - I have been looking for this EVERYWHERE! I’m so SO very excited and thankful for you to have uploaded it. This is so rare there’s hardly a footnote about it anywhere. Of course I can always count on you, My lovely Magical Maggie Magpie
Glad to be of service!
fantastic. thank you!!!
Loved that, huge Walpole and gothic story fan. Thank you
There's an adaptation of 'Castle' on the channel as well - though I dare say you' may have already heard that one...
Thank you. The analysis helps us to better understand M. R. James and how he came to write his excellent ghost stories.
Excellent naration and acting, especially by David March as M. R. James. It is an entertaining story, first broadcast on BBC radio in 1977.
