Everything is Thunder - Michael Robson - BBC Saturday Night Theatre 

This play is not for the Classic Drama listener. It’s a sort of paperback novel, that moves along at a good rate, and doesn’t get bogged down. We have a hero, a baddy, a femme fatale, an assortment of dubious persons, a large variety of sound effects, and international travel. I enjoyed the ride. Thanks ..Eric

Thank you for uploading. I really enjoyed the suspension and adventures. Xx

A real adventure!

Reminded me of The 39 Steps. A comically improbable story but fun all the same.

Enjoyed every moment. Looking forward to sequel.

Don't miss the news afterwards! 1:30. Who remembers Red Adair successfully capping the Bravo rig blowout in the North Sea in 1977? A little bonus there! Thanks again for another enjoyable upload. 😊

Less than a month ago Lewis was a complacent and relatively useful member of the community. He was 40 and his life seemed perfectly planned. But it only takes a redundancy, a trip to France and an obsession with a beautiful women to turn his life upside down...

"Less than a month ago I was a complacent and relatively useful member of the community. My life was orderly and pleasurable. At 40 I was a man who might not go far, but I'd gone far enough to meet my never too outlandish requirements. Then one Monday afternoon in April, I was summoned to the Managing Director's office ... and my descent into hell began....

I enjoyed this. Is there any chance of uploading the sequel 'The Dark Banquet' as mentioned at the end.

Do you have the second part of this please? (The Dark Backward) I'm sure many of us would like to know what really happened.

Thanks Dear Uncle Chesterton.....even my 'Dolly' enjoyed that one tonight-Bless Her - On account of the lead mans unwavering stupidity !......and it's not really like her. Oh BTW....I shall be round 'Chesterton Manor' - next Friday night after Dolly's 5-A-Side All-In Cribbage tournament. Good Night Dear sweet Uncle Chesterton.

Its so funny i don't watch tv any more now that I have these marvourless audio plays dramas to listen to 🐸🧐🤡💬Can anyone or does anyone have a RECORDING A copy of THE BBC RADIO 📻 THREE-PLAY "GARRISON HALIBUT" that they can down load. I HEARD IT BACK in 1976 on radio three I THINK IT WAS BROADCAST in 1976 DESCRIBED AS AN EXTRAVAGANA OF RADIO FUN AND IMAGINATION as i havant heard it since 1977 a true gem.

Very entertaining.

Aaahh.. Natasha.... ZA chtou.!!!!!!!. (For What...!!!!)

I generally like plays like this, but I found this one curiously unsatisfying, in spite of fine playing by Daniel Massey (some of the other acting was less competent than I expect from BBC radio of this period).

Max seemed quite a reasonable bloke, whereas Lewis came across as quite the plonker.

51 minutes into the program, and I pretty much fed up with Natasha. She's wishy-washy and can't make up her mind. She has no problem being between two men. Her beautiful appearance is blinding our hero. She has character flaws. Let's see how the rest of this play rolls out. Perhaps I'll change my opinion by the end of the story. ---------------- 35 minutes later into the story, and I was right with what I wrote up above. That woman was awful, I saw right through her. One good thing about my old age, I've learned a few things in life. Cheers! 😎😎⭐⭐

Entertaining but what a Fool Lewis is falling for every trick in the book 🙄

What a stupid story.
