I'm surprised to discover that I hadn't already uploaded this classic to the channel - though I've uploaded versions produced for Irish radio and BBC7. This, however, is the original dramatisation broadcast on Radio 3 back in 1980 (though I first heard it when Radio 4 repeated it after Angela Carter's death).
Carter's dark, adult treatment of the Red Riding Hood fairy tale was later turned into a much-loved fantasy-horror movie, but here is the original, in which the red-cloaked heroine encounters a wolf that is hairy on the inside...
MYSTERIOUS MAGPIE is a channel devoted to ghost and horror stories on British radio, and to dark tales of every kind. I have another channel, MYSTICAL MAGPIE, which is all about stories of fantasy, mythology, and adventure: / @mysticalmagpie-wo5fn

Ever so grateful to you for uploading this, Jack! It's absolutely brilliant!

Glad you like it. More Angela Carter to come, including a short radio adaptation of the short story of The Company of Wolves (from a series dramatising the prose stories in The Bloody Chamber).

Hi. Thank you so much for uploading this. I remember first listening to this on the bbc iPlayer radio as it was called back then. It was back in the days when dramas etc were just available at for 1 week and then they disappeared so I listened to this twice as I enjoyed it so much.

@mysteriousmagpie 4 месяца назад

I first heard it when it was repeated in 92 - they repeated three of Angela Carter's plays in her memory soon after her death. For some reason it took BBC7 a little while to get round to repeating this one - but at first they broadcast a reading of Carter's short story (on which the radio play was partly based). I feel rather forgetful for not having posted this version before, as it was turned into a film which is widely seen as a horror classic...

I heard a dramatisation of a story the other day on BBC Radio 4 extra. It was broadcast on Sunday in the 7th dimension. It was called the hand. I thought it might fit this channel.

I thought it would fit the theme of this channel. There was also another drama which is still available on BBC Sounds. It’s by Sheila Hodgson and is called the striking image. I thought this drama would fit the theme of the channel as well.

I really enjoy these productions you upload. I suffer from terrible insomnia, it's currently 3.40am and I'm listening while sitting with a cup of chocolate.
