- Hi everyone!
This video is the first in the series of Stephen Moore performing "The Kraken Wakes", by John Wyndham. Specifically this is part 1 of 16.
Stephen Moore of course played Marvin the Paranoid Android in the original radio series and the subsequent TV series, of "The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy", as well as many other characters e.g. Gag Halfrunt. His all-round excellent reading voice helped make these the classics they are, and it is great to hear him put his talents to use again in this dramatic interpretation of "The Kraken Wakes".
Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this.
Dr Alex

Thank you for your kind comments. Stephen Moore is much missed.
For some reason my comment has disappeared? LOL
@@aiferapple1246 I know! I went to read it and it was gone! I have no idea why - there's certainly nothing offensive about it.
And yet another complimentary comment has been removed! TH-cam!!!
What happened to Stephen Moore?
@@chriscollins3531 On 4 October 2019, Stephen Moore died at the age of 81. I assume of old age.
Always been one of my favourite Wyndham stories and I think I have read almost everything he published
Well, we came here from listening to Day Of The Triffids. This story is just as good, Stephen Moore does a great job of narration . Many thanks for putting this on YT
You are most welcome :) Who was reading Day Of The Triffids?
@@DoctorAlex1 not sure , it is not stated on the credits. Its on "The Retirement Report" here on YT.
@@ickleshouse Thank you! I'll check it out :)
@@ickleshouse I checked it out - recognised the voice but couldn't put a name to it, but way down on the comments someone had identified it as Sam West. A good read too :)
Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant ❤
Brilliant book at least as good as Triffids. Thank you for a great reading.
Stephen Moore's voice just can't be beat :)
Alas , John Wyndham is almost forgotten today . He wrote
3 or 4 of the best Sci Fi novels of last 100 years . Now , only
to be found on Charity shop shelves for 20 p......a real bargain ..!
I have similar thoughts about Michael Moorcock when it comes to fantasy... and he is still alive!
He's reading it as if he were reeling it off spontaneously... what a talent.
He was brilliant. I am glad we still have his work to enjoy.
Hello! This is such a good audiobook reading, in my top ten of all time. Thank you so much for uploading it. Thought I'd mention I've seen cassettes of Stephen Moore reading The Wizard of Oz on ebay uk. I can only imagine how wonderful that is.
Thank you! And imagine no more! Click on my channel page and you'll find his reading of Oz there already!
@@DoctorAlex1 Ahh no way, brilliant! That's made my weekend. I'm thrilled. Awesome thanks :)
Hey Doc, thanks for your time and trouble.
You are most welcome, but above all we should all thank Stephen Moore :)
I love Wyndham... He's a parallel to Lovecraft.
Me too! It's just a shame some people are unable to cope with the thoughts and ideas from other time periods, unable to be aware of how they differ from those of the current day and yet still enjoy great story crafting. God help them if they ever come across H. Rider Haggard ;)
Appreciated
I'm glad :)
Pardon me for breathing, which I never do anyway, so I don't know why I mentioned it, oh GOD I'M SO DEPRESSED We love you, Mr Moore
We do indeed :)
