A Warning


A Warning To The Furious. It should come as no surprise that tonight's contemporary tale of  unknown terror takes it's inspiration from M.R. James' famous ghost story A Warning To The Curious. Smartly written and performed - it is to be applauded when radio dramas record on location like this, it makes all the difference in the world - the whole thing builds to a suitably unnerving climax. 
"A feminist film-maker and her crew visit the Suffolk coast to make a documentary about ghost story writer M.R. James. They hope to discover how an outwardly respectable bachelor could produce such disturbing horrors.

Too bad, as I'd hoped to listen.

Keep fighting the good fight, Mr Primate!

Thank you for this Warning, Mr Primate. I'll certainly take it to heart!

I do enjoy these BBC uploads you've provided, all of them in fact.

Thanks again, Mr Primate.
