Enjoyed this so much (at 6am after waking up to watch sport in Australia) that I’m going to have to resume the Culture novels which I inadvertently stopped reading after a distraction a few years back!

Nowadays* people who visit the BBC Sounds site from outside the UK get blocked. The method of the block is just a very crude "Error 404 - Oops, the page you're looking for is no longer here"

* I forget when this began, but maybe a year or so ago

It is regrettable

It's been years since I heard this, but usually at least twice a week I'll see something that makes me think "...and it's not even that hard!"

I still can't quite accept that Antony Sher's gone.

Oh what? What??? On it!!

I'd somehow forgotten how wonderful Nina Sosanya and Paterson Joseph are in this. And Antony Sher is perfect as the good ship Arbitrary.

Listening now, really enjoying it. I'd forgotten how much I liked The Culture.

4pm today on BBC Radio 4 Extra it’s the repeat of my adaptation of Iain M. Banks’ The State of the Art, with Sir Antony Sher as the ship. So proud of this amazing production by @nadiamolinari.bsky.social

Ha ha! True. And if that happens, you should know I’m keeping it.

Well, if we win, you have a reasonable chance of being sent the award.

I mean, I was expecting a hand-crafted β€œThank you” card containing a personalized poem, but I guess this is fine too. πŸ˜‰

This is essential listening for audio drama fans, sci-fi fans, humans, Minds, and all sentient objects with ears or equivalent organs.
