Once Upon A Time Lord

[Antony Cox]

Well this is all jolly exciting!

I look forward to it's release!

[brandynigma]

Well, it's almost the end of the 1st, and it's not here yet.

What? It's almost midnight in Australia!

... OK, but I'm only impatient because it's fabulous.

[Si Hunt]

I'm afraid I go by UK time! But on the good side, that means it'll be waiting for you to download when you wake up tomorrow!

Some cast list details for this story...

"Once Upon A Time Lord" features Martin Penny as Sir Edward of Bradley, with his faithful friend/annoyance Buttercup the Fairy being played by Ashley Culley. The Narrator is played by Simon Hart, the Wizard is played by Paul Monk and the versatile Brendan Jones plays both the part of the Mirror and the Woodsman, not to mention a Tree of Despair! Si Hunt is a wolf.

It's a tale of Two Sisters! The evil Queen Pulcreena is played by Susan Alexander (and believe me, that's a performance not to miss!) while the Princess is played by Katie Homewood, aka my own sister. We felt that this close-to-home casting produced two performances worthy of the roles in question.

The story also features our youngest ever performers - listen out for the Next Generation! William Monk and Daisy Homewood (with a combined age of less than eight years between them) make their audio debuts here!

It sounds fantastic- really epic and exciting!

[Paul Monk]

I love that trailer. I swear I got a little welled up when William said his line.

[Antony Cox]

Very good trailer! How exciting!

[Ian Lethbridge-Stewart]

There are some really good ideas in this story - that Monk bloke is a genius!

I'm looking forward to hearing the performances myself. I am always amazed at the quality of the performaces in the PS audios. For a bunch of amateurs we ain't half bad!

[Paul Monk]

that Monk bloke is a genius!

I wouldn't go that far! You haven't heard the whole thing yet.

[Ian Lethbridge-Stewart]

I wouldn't go that far! You haven't heard the whole thing yet.

True, but I was working to a synopsis initially and then to a script when I was 'composing' the incidental music, so unless you abondonned all of that on the day of the recording I do have an idea of what happens in the story (I think)!

[Si Hunt]

Or unless Andrew's favourite bit was the bit with the Trolls

Si.

[SiHart]

I wonder if Andrew's music can match the intensity of Steve's Sister's performance?

[Si Hunt]

It has a damn good try!

Si.

[SiHart]

That's impressive!

[Ian Lethbridge-Stewart]

That's impressive!

You haven't heard it yet!!!

[Paul Monk]

I'm looking forward to it. I'm intrigued to see how Si has done certain things that were in the script.

[Si Hunt]

Which bits, out of interest? (without giving any of the storyline away)

Si.

[Paul Monk]

The wolf bits and the end.

[Jon Masters]

I'm listening to it right now !!

[Si Hunt]

Oh my!

[SiHart]

I want to hear The Village Fete of Death now!

Lovely episode, full of magnificent performances, but none more so than Steve's sister, Susan who is stealing the show as Pulcreena. Her cackles are absolutely superb!

Well done to Martin who carries this episode- and it's good to hear Ed back in a muddy field again. That's good continuity! I enjoyed Paul's cameo too. Channelling the spirit of William Hartnell for all he's worth.

As I only really knew my lines, I was quite intrigued to hear this one as I didn't know what was going to happen and I really liked the way it's very, very different to all the other PS Audios.
