Not Hammer,
but possibly of interest are a number of radio productions currently
airing on BBC Radio 4 (and available for a week following broadcast
on the BBC's listen again feature).
HITCHHIKER'S GUIDE TO THE GALAXY is
drawing to a close, with the final couple of parts airing this week
and next. All five of Douglas Adams brilliant novels have now been
adapted, and Simon Jones (Arthur Dent) will be saying goodbye for
good. The preview copies I listened to were excellent, with Douglas
own inimitable voice clearly present. The complete radio series
will shortly be available on CD from BBC Worldwide. I'll be posting
links etc for that soon.
DIXON OF
DOCK GREEN. Whilst Val Guest painted his bleak view of
Manchester for Hammer with HELL IS A CITY, Jack Warner played Dixon
on BBC tv for some 20 years. The character has been resurrected
for BBC Radio 4 in a new 6 part series, which also stars future
Doctor Who, David Tennant. The series starts tomorrow, and alongside
bicycle thefts there promises to be some more explosive storylines...
