    2025/04/19
    An old man and a hound-dog named Rip, off for an evening's pleasure in quest of raccoon. Usually, these evenings end with one tired old man, one battle-scarred hound dog, and one or more extremely dead raccoons, but as you may suspect, that will not be the case tonight. These hunters won't be coming home from the hill. They're headed for the backwoods — of The Twilight Zone.

    The plot is based on a 1953 episode of The Kate Smith Hour, "The Hound of Heaven", which was written by Earl Hamner Jr.

    2025/04/10
    "It was only when she got back to her cottage and the candles were lit, that she saw what a strange creature it was she'd found..."

    To ease her granddaughter’s concerns over disfiguring marks on her baby’s face, Gran shares the unlikely tale of Alice Proudfoot. Stars Mary Wimbush (The Archers’ Julia Pargetter) as Gran, Rebecca Wright as Alice, and Alex Jones as Joe.

    David Calcutt's play is based on the traditional story of lonely Alice Proudfoot and her curious discovery in a moonlit wood. First broadcast in Thirty-Minute Theatre on BBC Radio 4 in January 1995.

    Told in flashback, David Calcutt's play is based on the traditional story of Alice Proudfoot and her curious discovery of a far from ordinary human child in a moonlit wood. After taking it home and lavishing it with care, Alice wakes up in the morning to find no child, but instead her reward – a gold coin. Alice makes good use of her fortune, and the more the ‘child’ returns to her door, the more times she’s rewarded for her care and kindness. Attracted by her wealth, Joe begins to woo Alice, but pays the price by ending up hideously facially disfigured. Despite everything, all the pain and injury ultimately brings happiness to both Alice and Joe. But as Gran concludes to her granddaughter, the otherworld still has a claim on us all.
