As The Stage revealed back in September, BBC Radio is embarking upon a major cross-network season of science fiction programming, backed up by a ever-so-slightly-freaky advertising campaign (above) which, for some reason, implies it’s a Radio 4 only season.
In fact, as we discussed at length, there’s more on Radios 3 and 7 as well. Our Turn off the TV weekly radio round-up covered Sunday’s version of The Time Traveller on Radio 3. The BBC has helpfully compiled a list of the dramas involved, so I heartily recommend bookmarking that page — each entry links to the relevant programme information and, in turn, to iPlayer links for shows once they have been broadcast.
In addition, the Radio 7 website has three short features promoting its big original commission, Planet B.
Of course, TV Today will be showcasing the best of the week’s radio, including (but not limited to) all the great science fiction content coming up in the weeks to come, so keep an eye out for our regular Turn off the TV feature every Friday.
