Arthur Darvill in Gulliver's Travels for BBC Radio 4

[stars_fell]

Our Arthur will be starring as Gulliver in an adaptation of Gulliver's Travels for BBC Radio 4 starting this Sunday. The gentleman who did the adapting, Matthew Broughton, has a blog entry about it here:

Gulliver's Travels - Classic Serial

He was kind enough to include a picture of Arthur in the recording studio, wearing--le gasp!--a plaid shirt.

CANNOT. WAIT.

Man is amazing in radio plays. His Keith Moon was brilliant.

I've been looking for a good, full adaptation of Gulliver for my homeschooled daughter. Is there a way for us in the US to listen in? Or a chance that downloads might be available?

I think I've read somewhere that the radio part of BBC iPlayer can be used in the US

[sea_thoughts]

Yes, you can definitely listen live. And I'm sure one of us will download the podcasts. :D

AWESOME. I'm glad they're adapting the whole thing. It annoys me probably a lot more than it should that people think Gulliver's travels consists of the Lilliput story and that's it.

I have the same irritation over people thinking The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is the only Narnia book.

HOLY CRAP THIS IS EXCITING.

Though NGL I only got into Gulliver's Travels because I had to use this really weird math book based on it during a "math enrichment" class in sixth grade. I will always remember that weird math book fondly.
