Heh, I was just bringing that ;D
I'm dead chuffed coz I listen to Radio 4 all the time and they have some cracking plays (I was sniffling at one on Tuesday, it was so good).
Did Kate direct one of the Torchwood plays? I think she did.

That's why I thought you would like it PK - I know you are an avid Radio 4 listener!! I just checked the date and thats the day Im doing a linedance birthday party for someone and a social dance in the evening! At least I will be able to listen to some of it on the way to the party! (and then catch up online after) ;D Heres a link to the book its based on - sounds like fun! Book reviewAnd heres Amamzons - Amamzon reviewsAnd having seen the cover, now I recognise it - it was one of the Richard and Judy Raeding Club books - probably from last year - Ive stared at that cover often enough at work! |

Now it's on at 9-00 instead of 2-15, I stand a much better chance of missing it! I'll try to remember.
ETA - I remembered! That was entertaining, although I kept having office flashbacks (especially the serial numbers on furniture, oh god! ;D ). Good voice from The Voice ;D

Not sure how I feel about the play itself, definitely a bit odd - but James was wonderful - loads of airtime, he had by far the biggest role. And he sounds amazing, totally gorgeous voice.
Having been listening to the Dresden files in the car today, James's delivery in this is similar at times, but mostly very modulated, the calm storyteller against all the frantic madness of the office. And it was mesmerising, just listening to the cadence of his words - the last lines gave me a little frisson down my spine!

Most of the situations rang horribly true to me - I was laughing and squirming at the same time.
