Our attentive UK correspondent Roy sez: “You might not have spotted this as it is not in the ‘Seventh Dimension’ SF slot and as far as I can see does not get the usual BBC7 rebroadcast”
Time Slip
By Wally K. Daly; FULL CAST
1 Part – Approx. 1 Hour [RADIO DRAMA]
BROADCASTER: BBC7
BROADCAST: Sunday October 29th 01:30-02:30 (UK Time)
Roy writes: “This was first broadcast on BBC R4 in May 1983 &, if memory serves correctly that far back, is an amusing comedy in which a man duplicates himself.”
The good news, you can still catch this play, though it aired in the early hours this morning, by clicking on over to the LISTEN AGAIN service.
Darker Projects is a collective of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror audio drama projects with a dark edge. I’ve mentioned this umbrella organization a few times on SFFaudio already, and we are currently working on an extended examination of all the shows they produce. But I just had to post up a little something about the new meta-podcast, they’ve created. Here is the RSS feed:

The Canterville Ghost
By Oscar Wilde; Read by Alistair McGowan
BROADCASTER: BBC7
BROADCAST: Monday to Wednesday at 6:30pm and 12:30am (U.K. Time)
When American Minister, Hiram B. Otis signs the deeds for Canterville Chase he not only buys a piece of English heritage, he also inherits a most troublesome ghost. No sooner have Mr Otis and his family moved into their new home than they come up against this unruly spirit. A battle of wills ensues – the ghost devising ever more elaborate hauntings to oust the interlopers who just refuse to be frightened.
It is the Minister’s only daughter, Virginia, who tries to look beyond the ghost’s evil ways and understand why he behaves as he does. Characteristic of Wilde’s early fairy tales, where innocence and true love triumph over evil, this beautifully crafted story combine’s wry amusement with poignancy.
The Ghost Galexies

BROADCAST: 6:30pm and 12:30am (U.K. Time)
In the not too distant future, when travelling at light speed is in its infancy, the crew of the spaceship, Meg II, are sent on a mission to discover the fate of their sister ship, Meg I. As they hurtle at mind-bending speeds towards the outer limits of the Milky Way, they are forced to confront the terror of the unknown – what lies beyond the rim of our universe?
These will all be avilable via the Listen Again service shortly after they air.
The latest Sonic Society podcast, likely inspired to start the Octobery frights early, is proud to present: Afterhell…
All over the world, civilization has fallen. Cities burn with lunacy and brimstone. Science can’t explain it. Faith can’t account for it. The human race is under attack from its own shadows, sins, and deepest fears. The survivors face a surreal existence where only the darkest dreams come true. No one is safe. And everyone is on trial.

The Sci Phi Show Minicast #8: Dimension X: “The Outer Limits” |MP3| (27 minutes 20 seconds)
An experimental rocket plane disappears in the middle of its first test flight into space.
