As we close out 2014, I thought it'd be kind of fun to introduce or re introduce you to my love of early science fiction. So we look at Verne's Journey To The Center of the Earth. It's a wonderful story and well dramatized from december 9 of 1995. Enjoy |

However don't let the title fool you as we delve deep in to archives to bring you an exciting version of "A Christmas Carol," with Ralph Richardson as narrator and Scrooge. It's basically Sir Ralph and a few cast members given some lines and when you listen to mid sixties BBC drama you note the differences. Gone is the enhanced sound so they used the literature. Enjoy. We'll also start the show by remembering the amazing Christmas of the Trenches of 1914 and we conclude with another ghost story the Shepherd. On behalf of Maria and Sophie the Dog I'd like to wish you all the happiest of Christmasses and we'll conclude Season 7 next week with a drama of epic proportion. Enjoy |
