Pilgrim Series 1 by Sebastian . BBC RADIO DRAMA
Paul Hilton stars as Pilgrim in the award-winning BBC Radio supernatural drama by Sebastian Baczkiewicz.
In 1185 William Palmer was making a pilgrimage to Canterbury. Unbeknown to him, his fellow pilgrim was the King of the Grey Folk. When William claimed that the church would eradicate belief in the Faerie world, he was cursed by the Faerie King: condemned to live forever and walk for eternity between the worlds of magic and of men.
Palmer, now known as Pilgrim, continues on his mission to this day, to preserve the uneasy balance between the two worlds and protect mankind from an enemy they resist believing in. His quests include retrieving a stolen dragons egg, aiding Joseph of Arimathea from the clutches of psychopathic angels, searching for the Radiant Boy - a sinister harbinger of impending death; acquiring copper, silver and gold to rescue a group of people trapped in a mine by a malevolent spirit; and tracking down and punishing a former friend who has betrayed him.
After so many centuries, will his curse ever be lifted and his wanderings finally come to an end?
Starring Paul Hilton as the immortal, reluctant and un-thanked hero, this award-winning series weaves together ancient myths, magic and contemporary realism to create a dark, thrilling and enchanting fantasy epic. Broadcast to high acclaim on BBC Radio across nine series from 2008 to 2020.

Director Marc Beeby

On Mardie Fen Series 4 by Nick Warburton
On Mardle Fen
Trevor Peacock stars as inspired chef Warwick Hedges in this comedy drama set in an idiosyncratic restaurant in the Cambridgeshire Fens. Warwick’s son, Jack, works alongside his father, which makes him permanently anxious. They are assisted by Samuel, an earthy odd-job man 'who crawled out of the slime with the eels', and Zofia the Polish waitress.
Whether hosting unusual guests, dealing with flooding, fuelling father-son rivalry or moving strange stones from the edge of the Fen to his restaurant 'at his own peril', Warwick attempts to keep Mardle Fen on its toes.
The dramatic mixture of food, family relationships and Fenland legend is handled with Nick Warburton's characteristic deft comic touch.

Listening to the Dead: Enoch's Machine By Katie Hims
Listening to the Dead
A series of five dramas by Katie Hims.
After developing the means to make long distance radio transmissions, Marconi devoted much of the rest of his life to listening out for the voices of the dead. If radio can conjure a voice disembodied in space, he expected, as have legions of people since, that radio can capture the voices of those disembodied in other dimensions - in time, in ethereal planes. As technology becomes more sensitive, more diverse, more obscure, there are pioneers always ready to harness the new to the service of this age old fascination.
This is the story of five generations of a family whose members can and can't hear the dead. It's an enterprise to explore the myriad ties, stories and quirks that bind families through the generations, across the spectrum of meanings of 'listening to the dead'. Between allowing the echoes of a beloved's voice to live on, and the notion that the dead can engage in communicating new information, are vast grey areas of misinformation that beguile the bereaved and thrill the imagination.
Enoch's Machine
Enoch Cartwright, Victorian gentleman scientist, invests everything in the development of a machine to record the voice of his dead daughter, Emily, unaware that his living daughter Clara talks to her sister every night.
Clara ...... Eva Sayer
Enoch ...... Michael Bertenshaw
Emily ...... Georgie Fuller
Josie ...... Priyanga Burford
Mr Wesley Blackburn ...... Ben Crowe
Woman ...... Carolyn Pickles
Joe ...... Arthur Hughes
George ...... Joel MacCormack
Narrator ...... Ami Metcalf
Written by Katie Hims
Directed by Jessica Dromgoole
First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in January 2014
