Just finished listening to BBC7 repeat of Hordes of the Things, what a fantastic audio play it was, lovely to hear Paul Eddington (Jim Hacker:Yes, Minister) as the hapless king, and I'm sure that was Steven Pacey (Tarrant:Blakes7) in the last episode. This was one of the first audio plays I ever heard, from that golden age back at the start of the '80s, when men were men, women were women, and small furry creatures from alpha centuri were real small furry creatures from alpha centuri.
I managed to dub off a good recording at last for the archives, Sky+ is a wonderful thing, if you havent already spotted it BBC7 is doing good stuff once or twice a week, and with the manual recording facility on Sky+ you can grab some superb comedies and dramas. (Channel 922 i think, and the schedules are at www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7
I wonder if anyone has a transcription of the script for this play, it's got some real good quotes...
