Hello listeners

Some of you may have noticed that the comments facility has been turned off. This is a temporary feature which I've put in place while I go off on holiday because I won't will be around to follow comments for three weeks and so will be ignorant of what is being said in them.

Un-checked commenting is something I want to avoid, for legal reasons if nothing else. Potentially offensive or libellous comments, either to me or to another user, can't be allowed to go un-checked as I'm sure you'll agree.

Upon my return I will re-activate comments, as I will again be in a position to moderate them.

And now, I'm packing my bucket and spade and leaving. See you in three weeks.

p.s. I'll send you a postcard.

Episode 16 is now fully re-drafted. A lot of changes have been made - new scenes in, old scenes cut and I think just about every sentence has been re-written at least twice. I'm now going to go and read through it from top to bottom (and doubtless re-write large bits of it again!). But when that's done it'll be ready. I'm going out for the day / evening later and won't be home till sometime tomorrow, but when I get in, I'll start recording. It's 12 pages long, so it should be about 45 minutes of audio.

When the blood cells below turn red, the episode is live

I've been at it since about mid-day and it's now 10 past 9.00. Since Thursday I got about 8 minutes down, and today I got another 30. This came from 10 pages of A4. I've still got 5 pages' worth of recorded scene to edit down and I imagine it'll take about 3-4 hours. Then there's the bumpers, the music and all the rest of it - and I'm going out tomorrow afternoon - so it's looking like a full moon on Monday (in joke, all will be revealed ;-).
