SPOOK SQUAD – By Jim Spiers, directed by Jack Bowman

(Comedy)


2010: SPACE COMMANDER! – By Stuart Price, directed by David Beck

Since our bodies cannot genuinely explore space, why not get rid of them?

Without wanting to trot out the already tired clichés about social networking sites being our main interaction or point out that, with gaming systems becoming so sophisticated, the next generation will spend an overwhelming amount of time interacting through the Internet, it seems obvious to us that we are already heading for a “body-free” future. At first it seems awful, but when you think about it, it could provide many benefits once we get used to it. (Sci-Fi)


DREAM ON – By Paul Ekert, directed by Tom Brazier

Robert is having a dream about his dead ex-wife. The next night, there she is again, hauntingly familiar in the full personification of her monstrous personality. His current wife is unamused by his nocturnal flirtation with the dead past.

As dreams and reality begin to overlap, Robert begins a desperate hunt to find out why this is happening. Is he really losing his mind? (Horror/Thriller)


THE GRIMM OF STOTTESDEN HALL – By Stuart Price

Based on the works of Edgar Allen Poe, The Grimm of Stottesden Hall takes listeners on a journey of madness, terror, and gruesome murder! (Horror/Thriller)


PHONOPHOBIA – By Jack Bowman and Robert Valentine, directed by Tom Brazier

Blighted by phonophobia, a history student takes refuge from the London din in a quiet bookshop off Charing Cross Road. There he makes a chance discovery: an old scrap of paper hidden in a dusty book. On that scrap is a code hiding a lost musical score – the last work of the evil Anton Valderberg Drache! With Halloween approaching, the student races to unlock the mystery, unaware of the supernatural powers he is about to unleash. (Horror/Thriller)


MEDUSA ON THE BEACH – By Marty Ross

Biddlecombe is a perfectly ordinary English seaside town – except everyone there has been turned to stone.

Two seriously out-of-their-depth police officers uncover the strange truth of what happened when middle-aged and romantically disappointed hairdresser Marjorie Briggs finds something in a polythene bag on the beach that didn’t belong there – something ancient and terrible with the power to seriously muck up the lives of Marjorie and all those she loves and hates. (Dark Comedy)


THE YOUTH OF OLD AGE – By  Stuart Price

Wickedly acerbic, The Youth of Old Age shows acclaimed British actor Prunella Scales at her dragon-tongued best. As the story’s matriarch, she’s determined to prevent her heir from marrying “out of sorts”. (Comedy)


DEVON GIRL By Zalie Burrow

Ever wondered how life would be as a young woman running a farm? Sally Anne Criplett is just that girl.Living with her mole obsessed, gun happy, cider drinking father, Sally has her work cut out. But with the love of local farm boy Johnny Hutchins and their mutual passion for Elvis and farm machinery, life can be full of frolicks. Devon Girl is a light hearted look at farming with a fair sprinkling of colourful locals, such as the adorable best friend Mary, an imposing lesbian vicar, and local irresistible calve dealer Richard Sucksmith.

Grab a cup of tea and sit back for a bit of a giggle with this British comedy directed by multiple award winning BBC producer Cherry Cookson. (Comedy)


RADIO HOOHAH – By Octavia MacKenzie & Ashley McGuire

 A hilarious BBC Radio Four spoof from Mackenzie & McGuire – ON RADIO HOOHAH TODAY: ‘In My Mind’ delves into the thoughts of Leonora Velvety Constable-Wheeler, and her passion for Pugs, Shakespeare and taking her clothes off when she totally doesn’t realize it.

Popular soap opera ‘The Burgers’ has a few surprises in store this week when Mrs. White slips on some conditioner in the hairdressers, and ’What’s New’ has an exclusive look into Dorothy Ahlwhala’s latest novel “Raspberry Ripple, Iron Hoof”, the latest theatre and music releases, as well as handling the political hot potato – Globalization. (Comedy)


ANGELS IN THE DARK – By Susan Casanove

Roger Benezoscee is like the worst boss you’ve ever had. What could possibly force this obnoxious, egotistical old megalomaniac to change his ways? Nothing short of a Damascene conversion?

 This innovative mystery stars Kim Durham (Matt Crawford in The Archers). Fans of anagrams may like to ponder the significance of the character names: Roger Benezoscee, Cath Crobbit, Seth Treave and Leymar. ‘Dialogue in the Dark’ – the international exhibition in which small groups of people are escorted around a series of darkened rooms by a blind guide was the inspiration behind Angels in the Dark – a radio play set in total darkness. For the full experience, we advise you to listen in the dark! (Mystery)
