Apologies for not replying to this sooner - I've been having a particularly intense period of PhD-ing, combined with a sudden accommodation move, so fannish activities had to fall to the wayside for a little while. But thank you for reading and reccing my latest TWB piece <33
Aw, no worries! PhD-ing does have to come first. And it was lovely, so no thanks needed for that. <3
I've found I get along quite well with radio dramas, especially when I'm not in the mood to deal with visual stimulation - I haven't listened to many but I've enjoyed the ones I have. I really need to get round to listening to more!
Oh, nice. I got into it via Big Finish's efforts for DW after a few false starts back in the day, and listening is hampered by being ill, but I also find it often works for me when nothing else does, as well as me enjoying it carefully the rest of the time. Martin Jarvis (who should know) once said something about a radio director taking him aside early on in his epic radio career and telling him it was the most intimate medium, and it really is. There can be something quite special about it.
Funnily enough, I've just been listening to another Rattigan BBC play, The Sleeping Prince with Peter Wyngarde, which was very well done & I enjoyed it a lot, if definitely one of his lighter pieces.
I'm contemplating signing up to some of the forthcoming summer exchanges - I'm particularly eyeing Rare Pair Exchange and Just Married as opportunities for TWB evangelism (and inflicting Deranged Marriage Tropes on Robert and Catherine, heh)
Those would be very good exchanges to put them into! I love justmarriedexchange, but it always runs in the summer, so whether or not I can do it depends a lot, but it is one I pine for when I can't. (I have pined more than I have taken part, which is how these things go.) But, yes, you should absolutely make them experience all the daft marriage tropes they really shouldn't have to deal with! XD
