Tom Baker and Sophie Aldred appear in one of threefull-cast BBC radio dramas based around the real-life worlds of Doctor Who.



Doctor Who, the TV series which millions adore, is the inspiration for these three original radio plays. Presented in their entirety, they each focus on the effect which the programme has had on the lives of ordinary – and some extraordinary – people.



Regenerations by Daragh Carville:



In this powerful and moving play, a group of friends reunite for an annual Doctor Who convention. Set against a backdrop of the Belfast troubles, the play deals with themes of sexuality and love, and features appearances by Tom Baker and Sophie Aldred.



Blue Veils and Golden Sands by Martyn Wade:



Delia Derbyshire was the delightful and unusual woman who created the unique sound of the original Doctor Who theme tune. This is a dramatised account of her early days at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, and her later recollections of that time.



Dalek, I Love You by Colin Sharpe:



Nigel’s obsession with Doctor Who is a source of some concern to his mother. When he meets the girl of his dreams at a convention, life at home seems set to change forever…

Swift published his work 'to vex the world rather than to divert it'.

This incisive satire has never lost its sting - whether the work of an embittered mind or a profound comment on the Age of Reason and Nature, (here is all the fascination of distorting mirrors in Swift's accounts of Lilliput and Brogdingnag, and far more than mere spleen in the way he lashes human passions and institutions.

ROBERT HARDY'S career spans a number of acclaimed film and television productions, including All Creatures Great and Small, Northanger Abbey, Demons of the Mind and The Gathering Storm. He also appeared in the award-winning 1996 film adaptation of Gulliver's Travels.
