Howl’s Moving Castle? Interesting choice. Bit of a departure from the usual horror film adaptations they have done previously.
Would highly recommend their adaptations of The Ash Tree and Blood from Satan’s Claw by the way.

Howl's Moving Castle is adapted by Robert Valentine (Lovecraft Invasion, End of the Beginning), as well!

"Howl's Moving Castle" was great. Nice twist in the middle, and fairy-tales definitely benefit from being narrated.

I also listened to Howl's Moving Castle and loved it. I'm impressed Robert Valentine managed to fit the whole story into under an hour! The cast and sound design are also excellent. Highly recommend everyone listens to it while it's available on the Radio4 website. (Which I have just discovered can be listened to in other regions. So much for any other plans I had because I'm going to spend the next month or so binging radio drama...)

Wasn't so keen on "Starship Titanic", possibly because I'm familiar with it and know how they must have struggled to fit the book into an hour slot. The Hitchhikers references/rivalry were a nice touch.

Yesterday was the final episode of "The Missing Hancocks" (starring Professor Jericho himself, Kevin McNally) - and what a disappointment. This episode was recorded two or three years ago, and for that long wait it just wasn't awfully good. Didn't really even live up to the Rashamon-inspired blurb that it was given.
