Heard anything interesting? If it's online, ie on iPlayer why not post a link here. Book at Bedtime: 'And Another Thing...' www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00n4z16/Book_at_Bedtime_Episode_1/Part 1 up until late Monday night. I was curious about it. Alas, it's not that great though saved me a few pennies from buying the book! -Ralph |

Not currently airing, but was relistening to Batman: Knightfall for the first time in years last night, my old tape copy song since dead. Still highly campy fun. Peter Marinker's Bane voice is hilariously cheesy: I love it!
*drifts into nostalgia over the original radio 1 broadcasts*

I loved it when Radio 1 did a run of comic stuff - Batman, Superman, Spider-Man and Judge Dredd.
Good times!

I especially enjoyed catching each day's instalment of Batman after school and the Saturday afternoon omnibus!

I seen and heard of many of those 'Missing believed Wiped' documentaries before. The BBC had a tendency to re-record over many of their film reels in the sixties hence why a number of BBC shows apparently no longer exist.

You can't re-record over film. Video, yes that's what you're thinking of. The films prints - taken from video - were deliberately junked after.

I think there is actually a website about all of this 'Missing Believed Wiped' issue. What I heard somewhere once was that the BBC wiped the original master copies so that they could reuse the film or the reels (I can't remember which).

I never liked Sesame Street even as a kid. I didn't mind the Muppets but Sesame Street just didn't float my boat. At the time I preferred the British educational programmes to the American ones.

Recently I've gotten into a radio station called Absolute 80's. It is part of the Absolute Radio group (which was formally known as Virgin Radio) and it plays non stop 80's music - great if you like 80's music like I do. I listen to it on Sky Digital so I don't know the frequency for it and I largely only listen to it at night times when there is nothing else on TV that I want to watch. The only gripe I have though about listening to the station at this time is that there is no actual DJ but rather the songs are linked via pre-recorded lines of a bloke doing an Austin Powers style stiff upper lip accent! His rattle gets quite annoying at times but other than that the radio station is a good one.

Not heard this as yet but another source informs me that they are doing an entire series or Chandler adaptations . I think I may have to clear some time to listen to that. Did they keep the internal monologue/narration? Because one of the last Chandler adaptations I heard of didn't and without that you lose a lot of the best parts of his work. Karl |

Tomorrow is the fourth and final Raymond Chandler radio play, 'Playback', notable for the fact that Simon Furman named a (dead) Autobot after it. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00yw4f9Martin |

I believe that they are going to be airing adaptations of the remaining novels in the back half of the year (including Poodle Springs I hear - presumably they will be using the version completed by the late Robert B. Parker rather than having received permission to do an alternate version of the last part of the book).
Listened to The Big Sleep this afternoon. Quite good I thought - the lead made a very good Marlowe, just teetering on the right side of cynicism and I actually, possibly heretically, will say I actually prefer this versions Vivian Sternwood to Lauren Bacall in the first film version.
The rest of the series thus far seem to be hanging around on the Iplayer so I will definitely be giving them a go in due course. Hopefully the BBC might get around to collecting them for CD release at some point because I think they might be well worth owning.

Remember it also has the late Nicholas Courtney playing Lestrade.
