Heh, well, I won't tell! It is an anonymous exchange, though! ;-)

Oh, I wondered, because I know you listen to a lot of Radio things and it's been around a while. It was in want of a wrangler on AO3 so I tried to see if it was on the radioarchive site, and it was. Anyway, it turned out to be a parody of 19th C literature (mainly) with Anthony Head as the evil Mr Gently Benevolent. It's a lot of wordplay (inevitably) and slightly bonkers in the way that I like - S2 ends with a random Martian invasion, which is not something I ever remember happening in Dickens! So I just wondered, because it seemed like a thing you might now. It was a lot of fun if you ever want to try it. :-)

My arctic pace at listening to stuff will help!!! Also the massive list of lovely Big Finish stuff, and anything distracting with David Collings in that falls in my way. But other than that, yes. I do remember you saying how good it was a while back. (I am not sure it could quite compete with Jago & Litefoot - I suppose I'll have to try it sometime to check that out. I love J&L a lot, though!)

Ah... Okay then...

Oh, I knew OF Bleak Expectations, of course - but I go through phases of listening to the radio dramas regularly, and then of not listening at all. It depends what else is occupying my brain. When I'm writing a lot, I tend not to watch or listen to anything that might distract me.

I think you'd be surprised by the Scarifyers. I am going to get you the first audio, however, and you can hear for yourself... :D
