Superb Radio Play

(5 Sterne)

Absolutely loved it. Another great by James Follet. However, there’s a factual error in the description. This play did not first screen on radio in 2003, rather its first screening was in 1978. There a multitude of references for this on the internet, including Amazon who sell the licensed copy of thus radio drama. This makes much more sense as the 1970’s was the time Mr Follett was most prolific with his writing for novels, Television and Radio.

Excellent prescient environmental drama

(5 Sterne)

Produced so long ago yet so predictive of the potential dangers of biological genetic manipulation. Dated yet well done engrossing suspenseful drama that was a joy to listen to. This audio play is available multiple times on archive.org

1978 released
