Unabridged Audiobook
I first heard this when it was originally broadcast (the first 4 episodes I think) then lost track of the series as it aired. I’d forgotten how brilliant this radio drama is. What’s astounding to me is not just the quality of the writing, direction, production and acting, but the fact that this level of excellence doesn’t falter over so many hours of material. Most of my favourite radio comedy/drama is naturally, relatively compact ‘High Table Lower Orders’ is a good example. This though, maintains the quality of drama and has writing that is consistently of the quality of more celebrated work. Some scenes verge on the beautiful - moving, and perfectly poignant without sentimentality - while Warburton has done what few great writers have done- created a world which is close enough to reality for comfort, (but under woven with the ancient lore of rural England) which is unique. By the way - anything directed/produced by Claire Grove will always be good and often great.
