Hard to believe the whole process is all over, but at 9:30 last Friday morning 18th May, my short radio play ‘Sky Pilots’ was broadcast on BBC Solent during the Julian Clegg drive time show – then repeated at 17:40. It was lovely to hear it complete with all the sound effects I had written in, but which couldn’t practically be done live at Thornden Hall – especially the hot air balloon burners.
The whole show is now available on iPlayer here, starting at 3:05:30.
It was great to be involved with the BBC Solent people, particularly Louisa Hannan who did such a great job of organising the whole venture, as well as fellow playwrights Ben White, Georgina Pitts and GillianPalmer, I hope to hear more from them in the future.
Now comes the hard part, moving onwards with other projects.
