Hi. As you know, I love these dramas but I was thinking about a drama that I heard many years ago. It’s a dramatisation of the Rose and the Ring by William Makepeace Thackery. I thought it might be good for your second channel when you start it. I’ve only heard the dramatisation of the rose and the ring ones, so I don’t really remember it, but I think it stars Prunella Scales.
@@mysteriousmagpie I wonder if it’s available on CD. I must take a look. Another good drama is the Snow Queen, starring Dirk, Bogart and Diana Rigg. It’s usually repeated at Christmas time on BBC Radio 4 extra. I recently bought the radio 4 dramatisation of Stardust by Neil Gaiman.
I do enjoy the dramas by Sheila Hodgson. I find them all entertaining and atmospheric. Wonderful escapism in these difficult times.
She also adapted Algernon Blackwood's John Silence stories for BBC radio around the same time - I've got those on the channel too...
Another fun MR James from Sheila Hodgson
Excellent t

That sounds like the one from 1997ish... I used to have that on cassette, but I don't know if I ever digitised it...

Shelia Hodgson should try her talents in another direction. As that was awful
