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
If you're interested to learn about the century-long history of ghost and horror stories broadcast at Christmas on British television and radio, you might like to check out HOLLY WRAITHS (and its companion volume HOLLY TERRORS), an A-Z guide available in paperback and ebook from Amazon and Lulu.com.

Thank you for posting this
...I think. This was certainly an experience.
Benedict Cumberbug, what a legend.

I have more Cumberland Bandersnatch on the channel, and coming up. There's a play based on Hitchock's Spellbound starring him (already posted) and an adaptation of Dostoevsky's The Possessed in which he features coming soon... He did quite a bit of radio work so I suspect he's in a few others too I just can't remember right now...

What a incredible story , I had the most Kafka dreams 🙃

Oh, yes, this story is very familiar. (When duty, obligation, responsibility or self-sacrifice call, hang up ... else you end up like poor Gregor Samsa 😉.)
