The Slide / BBC Radio Classic Sci-Fi Audiobooks
Not sure whether anybody has bought and listened to this yet but I thoroughly recommend it
Full marks to the cast and the brilliant BBC Radiophonic Workshop for some superb sound effects.
Listening to this story has got me hooked on BBC Sci Fi stories so much so that on the strength of it I bought The Kraken Wakes, Childhood's End and Aliens in The Mind
Any body else got any of these'Steed is one of my most valuable subjects he's too valuable to lose'

Fury From The Deep being my fave Who of all time, I'm familiar with the Slide. I've got it but it's a poor quality recording, I'll get the remastered CD one day!
I thought you'd like it, for obvious reasons

I haven't got any of them so far, but I keep meaning to have a look and see if we've got any of them here in the library, as I'm sure I'd like them. We might get The Slide if I ask nicely!

I've just got my handcuffs and my truncheon and that's enough.

Hee hee I wonder what reasons they might be
Seriously though it's nice for a change that Roger Delgado remembers to use his foreign accent all the way through the story instead of the usual lapsing back into using his own voice which happened in numerous other productions he was in'Steed is one of my most valuable subjects he's too valuable to lose'

I think you will enjoy it Si
I wasn't too keen on The Kraken Wakes I thought it was rather plodding in places but Childhood's End was very good and very exciting
And I've recently finished listening to Aliens in The Mind. You can't go far wrong with Vincent Price and Peter Cushing as the main stars'Steed is one of my most valuable subjects he's too valuable to lose'

The Slide thus far(2 episodes in) is actually quite atmospheric,I would also recommend the Quatermass Memoirs and The Midwich Cuckoos from the previous releases...
As a side note Solaris,A Handful Of Moondust(and I believe Chocky) are slated for a january release

Hmm, these sound really good! Stephen Pacey in 'Childhood's End' should be a treat too. If only BF would stop plopping their tawdry audios onto our doormat!
Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

Thanks for the recommendations I shall look out for both The Quatermass Memoirs and The Midwich Cuckoos
Interesting snippet of information about The Slide is there was supposed to be a sequel to it but for whatever reason it was never written. Time for me to get my thinking cap on in that case and see if I can come up with anything'Steed is one of my most valuable subjects he's too valuable to lose'

Just an update - I got the radio version and I can thoroughly recommend it, there's even a few Doctor Who names in there (Peter Pratt, Chris Bidmead, David Brierley). There's no music, mostly just voices and sound effects, but the acting is up to standard and it goes at a similar pace to the TV version.

Audible have four of the BBC Sci Fi Classics available for download at £4 each as part of their Radio 4 is 40 promotion and you don't have to be a member to buy them:
War of the Worlds
Chrysalis & Survival
Day of the Triffids
Aliens in the Mind
Warning - the Audible website is shite.Dennis, Francois, Melba and Smasher are competing to see who can wine and dine Lola Whitecastle and win the contract to write her memoirs. Can Dennis learn how to be charming? Can Francois concentrate on anything else when food is on the table? Will Smasher keep his temper under control?
If only the 28th century didn't keep popping up to get in Dennis's way...
