So, BBC7 has some holiday radio goodness coming up this weekend.
On Saturday, December 22nd, at 6 p.m. and at midnight (British time), they will be broadcasting Blake's 7: Rebel, the first episode of the new audio reboot of Blake's 7. You can read my review of "Rebel" if you want to know more. I highly recommend this. They will be broadcasting "Traitor" and "Liberator", the next two episodes of the series, in future weeks. I'm rather hoping that the CDs of those two episodes that I've ordered will arrive before then, but if not, I'll be listening along.
On Sunday, at 6 p.m. and at midnight (British time), they'll be broadcasting Episode 1 of The Phantom of the Opera. This is Big Finish Productions first foray into adapting a classic novel to audio. BBC7 will broadcast the remaining episodes in future weeks, but if you get impatient, you can purchase the entire play as a download. I purchased the download, and while I have to say that on the whole, I prefer Big Finish's Doctor Who plays, it's a fun play and a marvelous story for audio.
And then on Christmas Eve, at 6:30 p.m., they'll be broadcasting Episode 1 of The Scarifyers: The Nazad Conspiracy, which I know relatively little about except that it's supernatural and funny and stars actors who have been in Doctor Who. Which probably describes 83% of British radio.
Don't worry too much about figuring out the broadcast times - you can stream any BBC7 broadcast from their website for a week after the broadcast using their "Listen Again" feature. You do have to have RealPlayer or Windows Media Player installed.
