Two very different men – the scholarly Dr Kemp and gentleman-of-the-road Thomas Marvel – are drawn into terrible events beyond their understanding. A man named Griffin has defied the laws of nature, and is about to embark on a reign of terror. For he is... The Invisible Man. Written By: HG Wells, dramatised by Jonathan Barnes Directed By: Ken Bentley CASTJohn Hurt (Griffin), Blake Ritson (Kemp), Peter Noble (Thomas Marvel), Dan Starkey (Teddy Henfrey), Annette Badland (Mrs Hall), David Rintoul (Reverend Bunting/Dr Cuss/The American), Richard Dixon (Colonel Adye/Mariner/Shopkeeper), Alex Clatworthy (Agatha/Millie/Marie), Alexander Forsyth (Sergeant Perkins/ Constable Jaffers/Barman). Other parts played by members of the cast.

Ordered the bundle. $55 Canadian is a nice price - good stories and so far it looks like fantastic casts.
I'm guessing Sir John is really enjoying wotking with Big Finish. I hope this will lead to more War Doctor stories being announced in the near future.

These adaptions sound wonderful. I thought they would be readings, not full cast. I love it when BF 'springs' these things on us. 'The Invisible Man' will be out in a few weeks and I can hardly wait. And John Hurt too! 2017, you're very welcome!

I have pre-ordered this,but could not resist the free download.Absolutely brilliant so far!! John Hurt,Blake Ritson,a great combination for a cold winters night (fireside listening) I think this range is destined for BBC radio 4 extra (formerley BBC 7)

Excellent release for the start of the year, and let's hope that John's involvement with Big Finish continues, and this form of performance is ticking some boxes for John in him extending his tenure with this. Looking forward, the, taster download sounds really good.

I'm not sure a spoiler warning is strictly necessary for a book that's been out for 120 years

I love that BF had this wonderful project with John Hurt ready to surprise us with on the first of the year with the actual release in the same month. I am hyped.

Yes it does seem that where John Hurt is concerned things come together rather quickly doesn't it?

Well, they held off announcements until 1 January 2017, which is just after (British) copyright on Wells' works expired.

Listening to this now I don't know how I won't get emotional. Same with the upcoming War Doctor set.
I am so glad he recorded all these audios with Big Finish. I wish there could have been more but what we got I will treasure.

I've been so excited about this all month and with the assumption that the release will be Monday or Tuesday I had it had planned to help get me through a really difficult day on Tuesday so Hurt was already on my mind. Now it's going to be almost impossible to hear. Just so sad about it. A great actor and someone whose work had been so important in my life. I'm as upset about this as I was about Bowie this time last year. Just horrible news.
