quick update
3 Jul 2024 08:55 pmSorry I have been even more erratic than usual (summer edition, at least briefly). It is how things are. At the moment, though, my parents are visiting.
In the meantime, three things:
1. I started listening to another Saturday Night Theatre installment I snagged ages ago, Antigua Penny Puce (1995), to see if it was any good and/or if it had sufficient Mr Collings to make it worth while.
Reader, he turned up as a sea captain who drowned within five minutes and instigated the whole story by sticking a mysterious stamp on his DIY last will and testament in a bottle. Some things never change. XD Anyway, I'm not sure how the rest of it will turn out or if we will ever discover the significance of David Collings's will, but it has Aden Gillett as one of the main characters! So, yeah, that was not much David Collings but it was nevertheless about as David Collings-ish as you get without also involving aliens and/or complete breakdown.
(All two of my fellow House of Eliott flisters will understand that I went: "Jaaack!!" immediately, as is obv obligatory. Amusingly, it's about him and his sister being difficult and bohemian and warring over a stamp collection, although not with as positive a relationship as Jack and Pen. I had not thought about him on the radio and he does have a good, distinctive voice for it. Hmm...)
2. Very old news, but it made me laugh: I randomly stumbled over the rude edition of Rainbow. (It was made for one the end of year Christmas parties that the ITV companies and the BBC used to do; rather like the DW one where Four swears at K9, so it is not, obv, a real episode.)
3. idk what third thing. I lied/forgot while typing/can't count/delete as applicable. sorry. probably a link??
Oh, wait, while I think people around here are aware of this and how it works anyway, I made a tumblr guide to Finding Your British Actor Blorbo On The Radio a few weeks ago. Or, in less tumblr speak, how to use the BBC's Genome and then places like BBC Sounds, Radio Echoes & the Internet Archive to obtain radio drama.
