Kraken Wakes

[hellywelly4]

On Radio 4 this afternoon 2.30. In two parts. Another of my all-time favourite books. Being performed as a play.

Thanks, helly. :o)
I have set my recorder-thingummy to record both parts.

Was almost fooled there. Listed as "Dangerous Visions".

Thanks Helly....I will catch it up on the iplayer !

I lostened to part 1 on Saturday and thought it was brilliant.
Cannot wait for part 2 !

[ladyalex]

^^ listened......doh!

[jomifl]

which Kraken died?

[hellywelly4]

Any thoughts? I listened but was disappointed it had been so much modernised. I've got the book out to read - it's just about falling apart: 1963 Penguin edition. Glad the BBC keep 'doing' John Wyndham's book though.

Thanks for highlighting this Hellywelly, otherwise it may have passed me by.
Just listened to part two and thought it was brlliant. Perhaps dwelt too much on the global warming agenda but otherwise I don't think it suffered too much from modernisation. I'm not sure how the 1950s version would stand up today. I'll have to dig out my copy and re-read it. Good to see the works of one of my favourite science fiction writers performed anyway. Thanks again. :o)

I went looking for this on the iplayer yesterday, but I think I left it too late.

Does anyone know if its available anywhere else ?

( he asks hopefully ! )

Oh, thank you! Is this it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07bzhr4 ?

I failed to concentrate properly on the second episode, doing other things at the same time, but it seemed to end rather abruptly.

[mikey4444]

Despite being a keen radio fan since my childhood in the 50's, I have never got to grips with this pod-cast thingy !

Is it possible to download these two episodes as a pod-cast, and how do I do it ?
