The Slide is a sci-fi radio serial in seven parts by Victor Pemberton first broadcast on the BBC Light Programme in February 1966. It begins with an earthquake in Southern England. Then the local wildlife starts to disappear.

This was Victor Pemberton’s first science fiction story which he submitted for the BBC TV series Doctor Who in 1964. The story was to feature the Doctor discovering sentient mud invading London from a fishing bay. It was rejected, but following a revision it was accepted as a radio serial. It inspired the 1968 Doctor Who story “Fury from the Deep”.
