Anything starring Nicola Walker is worth your time, I find - she may not be among the UKs most famous actors at the present time, but she's likely among the busiest and most reliable. She also has a distinctive voice, and does a fair amount of radio work. In this play she investigates a mystery that has a very sinister... well, not necessarily an explanation, but a resolution at least...
MYSTERIOUS MAGPIE is a channel devoted to ghost and horror stories on British radio, and to dark tales of every kind. I have another channel, MYSTICAL MAGPIE, which is all about stories of fantasy, mythology, and adventure: / @mysticalmagpie-wo5fn

I agree about Nicola Walker. I love her voice.😊
When I see her name in the cast of any program, I always listen!
Julian Simpson is amazing.
The Lovecraft Investigations is a joy.
He demonstrates excellent judgement by having Nicola Walker in so many of his dramas...
This is one of my fave (if not THE fave) scary radio dramas and it was instrumental in turning me on to the medium. 'The Exorcism' and others have also been major.
Nicola Walker keeps getting cast in to the same part. Actors do have to brand themselves like any product but she's been typecast more than many...although she always delivers. Listening to your vid "November Dead List" I couldn't believe she was ANOTHER police detective, but at least she had the chance to smile and laugh briefly in that one. For TV series they're trying to raise funding and that does favour keeping a good actor within their established tramlines in order to gain investments.
She's damn good though...and we're happy to listen and watch her. ;)
She has ended up as a chain of coppers, you're right - though I can remember the days when she tended to be cast for quirky. I suppose that's true of 'River', even though she was technically a police officer in that... If you've not seen her in 'Chalk', it's worth a look - generally considered a failure it certainly isn't the worst comedy ever written and it was quite early in her career and she's very striking in it. Around the same time I seem to remember she was in Moll Flanders with Alex Kingston... and more recently she's done a lot of audio work for Big FInish. Not a police officer this time, and she's excellent of course. On Radio 4, you've probably heard that she's been in a lot of (all of?) Julian Simpson's work including The Lovecraft Investigations. I'm no fan of the way her character in that basically spouts exposition but she still does it very well and makes a character of it...
My second listening of this excellent play, very atmospheric sound recording and extremely creepy. On my first listening I was working in a rambling, Georgian manor house with stone floors, echoing rooms and creeper covered windows, on my own. I've never forgotten the play nor the fear it evoked in me but I didn't remember its title; I found it today by chance!
A similar atmosphere to Ghost Story from 1974 by Stephen Weeks
An incredibly creepy haunted house film with a very chilling doll
I wouldn’t have returned to that house alone!
Lol. I'm a bit over-excited waiting for you to drop Series 2 of November Dead List...I know I should get a life but I'm BUSTING to know what's next!!!
It's a very good continuation - and Lia Williams is a great choice to take over from Nicola Walker... and the good news is that it's scheduled for release on the 22nd at 8pm UK time... Not long to wait.
Brilliant
Thank You! I've subscribed
Welcome!
This one was excellent❤!
Ghost stories should use EVP more often, it's a very effective source of fear
What is EVP?

It's a fascinating thing that I've been studying for years
@@SamuelBlack84 thanks
Just discovered you MM. Glad i did. Subbed :)
Welcome - lots of plays and series to explore, have fun. Also, I have a second channel ('Mystical Magpie') which starts up on the 14th of this month. That will be radio drama in the genres of fantasy and adventure if that interest you...
Well i do not believe in spirits, such as humans haunting places, because in 2 Corinthians 5:8 "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord." However i do believe in demons and demon possession.
