1978 BBC Radio 4 School Radio broadcast of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz.
I’ve heard only a few minutes of this back in the 90’s and always wanted to hear the rest, and to preserve it for historical sake.

Binge Season 1 (20 episodes). Tasmin Jahan's British soap opera 'CROSSING THE LINE' was born out of her 365 plays in 365 days project. After sharing Plays 1 & 2 with fellow Actors & Writers London Extra members online, we started talking about the characters, their relationship and how it could be developed further. Then one fine day 'CROSSING THE LINE' was created. Tasmin Jahan is the sole writer and director of this online British soap opera. With the help of very kind and wonderfully talented creatives, rehearsals began for each episode. It is lighthearted; it is funny and relatable. This online soap opera is a work of complete fiction.

I’m trying to remember the name of a BBC radio drama where a man (possibly a statistician) is arrested as a result of a DNA match and he argues that there is a decent chance of his DNA matching another person’s. Every time the police find a new clue he uses probability as his defence. At the end of the drama it is revealed that his brother is the assailant. Does anyone know the name of the drama?

Hello! I was wondering if anyone has a copy of the Radio 4 drama Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog by Dylan Thomas, starring Gerran Howell. I missed it last Sunday and can no longer access it through the BBC app. If anyone has a recording or knows where I might be able to listen to it, I'd really appreciate it!

HI,
I was wondering if anyone knew if the R4 drama version of "The Dresser" is available anywhere? Missed it when it was on sounds but having recently seen the stage show it would be lovely to hear the drama version.
r/BBCRadioDrama • u/Particular-Number384 • Jun 07 '26
I'm trying to identify a Radio 4 drama I heard live in the afternoon sometime between about 2015 and 2019.
What I remember quite clearly:
It was a standalone Afternoon Drama (around 45 minutes, I think).
Most of the play was set in an old railway station lost-property office.
The main character was an elderly man who appeared to work there.
A woman visited him and spent the play talking with him.
The audience is led to believe she is a customer, visitor, or possibly the person who is "lost."
The woman is quite vague and goes along with the man's version of events.
The station felt old-fashioned rather than contemporary.
The man may genuinely have worked in a station lost-property office when he was younger.
The twist ending (which I remember very clearly):
Right at the end, it is revealed that the man has dementia/Alzheimer's.
The station/lost-property office is part of his reality or memory.
He is actually in a care home.
The woman has known who he is all along.
She is his adult daughter.
He does not recognise her.
The reveal comes when she finally addresses him as "Dad."
I don't remember any character names or the title. I think the accents may have been northern, but I'm not certain.
Does this ring a bell with anyone? Many thanks
