Chronicles of Narnia
One of my favourite radio stations, BBC 7, one of the BBC's digital radio networks, will be broadcasting the complete Chronicles of Narnia, beginning on Monday 4 December with The Magician's Nephew followed by The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.
It's on Monday - Friday at 6 p.m. but if you are not able to catch any of the 28 episodes live, then go to the BBC 7 website to 'Listen Again' where each episode is available for a week. The final episode of the final book, The Last Battle, ends this epic on 10 January. These beautiful dramatisations are a great family listening treat, with a breath-taking cast, including Paul Scofield as the Storyteller and David Suchet as Aslan.
Current stories you can hear via BBC 7's website from the Big Toe Radio Show are
• Harry and the Wrinklies by Alan Temperley (8 episodes)
• Dakota of the White Flats by Philip Ridley (6 episodes)
• Horrible Histories - The Vile Victorians by Terry Deary (6 episodes)
• 13 Unpredictable Tales by Paul Jennings (4 episodes)
• Vampirates by Justin Somper (2 hours)
Also starting tomorrow at 6.50 p.m. in 14 episodes: Mortal Engines, Philip Reeve's dark, futuristic sci-fi thriller. It's a town-eat-town world, with larger cites preying on smaller ones to survive. Tom and Hester are thrown together on a strange adventure.
