Ouida: A Little Scandal Is An Excellent Thing: A Full-Cast BBC Radio Dramatisation of Moths, plus a biographical drama

"A BBC adaptation of Ouida’s landmark novel, along with an original drama and a fascinating documentary exploring her colourful life ‘A little scandal is an excellent thing; nobody is ever brighter or happier of tongue than when he is making mischief of his neighbours.’ - Ouida Ouida – the pseudonym of English novelist Maria Louise Ramé – wrote over 40 novels as well as children’s books, short stories and essays. One of the most popular authors of her day, she achieved fame and fortune with her ‘sensation novels’ which scandalised and intrigued Victorian readers, but her extravagant lifestyle resulted in her dying in poverty in 1908. This collection brings together her pioneering novel Moths with two engrossing biographical portraits of Ouida herself. A Little Scandal Is an Excellent Thing – Romantic novelist Ouida’s life was as flamboyant as her fiction. Born in England with a French father, she lived in luxury at the Langham Hotel, throwing lavish literary soirées with guests including Oscar Wilde, but died alone and penniless in Italy. Cheryl Campbell stars in this moving drama by award-winning poet Chrys Salt. Moths – First published in 1880, this riveting tale of romance and society in 19th-century Europe is widely held as the first novel to portray a divorced woman finding happiness and fulfilment. It tells the story of teenage Vere Herbert, forced by her superficial mother Lady Dolly to wed the brutish Prince Zoroff. Meanwhile, she has fallen in love with an Italian opera singer, Raphael de Correze. Trapped in an unhappy marriage, dare she leave her husband to be with him? Dramatised by Chrys Salt and starring Teresa Gallagher as Vere, with Nicola Pagett, Paul Rhys and Geoffrey Whitehead. Sensational Women: Ouida – Maeve Binchy examines the life and books of Ouida, who never had a lover but caught the public’s imagination with the passionate stories she wrote.

Tomorrow, Today!: The Complete Series 1 and 2: A BBC Radio 4 comedy

"1961. Radio producer Hugo is proud of his new science fiction show. Admittedly, the dialogue is somewhat creaky, the two lead actors despise each other, and the sound effects were knocked up in the engineer's kitchen - but it has rocket-ships, hover-cars, robots and Martians. It's the world of the future, where anything can happen: and often does... There's just one problem: nobody's listening. The future's about to be a thing of the past - until government intervention saves the series from cancellation. With the Russians forging ahead with space travel, BBC bigwigs are persuaded that Tomorrow, Today! could serve as a useful anti-Soviet propaganda tool. Rescued from the scrapheap, the show is free to head fearlessly for the stars - including a renowned Shakespearean thespian cast in the role of an android. But reviews are poor, the Home Office won't stop interfering, and as 1962 dawns, things are looking dark. Two suspicious deaths lead to rumours of a curse, Hugo is tempted away to TV, and with Harold Macmillan set to guest star, the programme is infiltrated by a spy. As the Cuban missile crisis escalates and the Cold War hots up, the whole show relocates to Wales - but will that prove any safer? Written by award-winning dramatist Christopher William Hill (On the Rocks), this amusing, affectionate sci-fi spoof stars Joseph Kloska, Peter Bowles, Cheryl Campbell and John Fortune.

JOURNEY THROUGH ONE OF THE GREATEST ADVENTURES IN WESTERN STORYTELLING AND GREEK MYTHOLOGY 'As irresistible as gravity ... a production so thrilling that it rapidly becomes unthinkable to press the stop - or even the pause - button' - Independent on Sunday ‘My fame is written in the heavens, and my fate too...’ So speaks Odysseus as he starts to recount his struggles to sail home to Ithaca.

From the temptations of the lotus flowers and the Sirens’ song to the horrors of the Cyclops’ cave and the Land of the Dead, the story of his encounters is riveting. We hear of Circe, who turned his men into swine; Calypso, who held Odysseus prisoner for seven years; and the dreadful six-headed monster Scylla who devoured some of his crew. And we hear of the Gods, who have a vital role to play.... 'The Odyssey' is his incredible traveller’s tale – and also the story of his faithful wife Penelope who waits for him, besieged by suitors, and their son Telemachus who has a quest of his own. Dramatised by Poet Laureate Simon Armitage to celebrate the return of the Olympics to Athens, this full cast production brings Odysseus’s adventures to vivid life, conveying all the excitement, suspense and poetry of the original.
