Dramatization
My collection of BBC radio dramatisations of the science fiction and horror stories of Ray Bradbury. Most of these are unreleased commercially and all were sourced from BBC Sounds.
I’ve listed them in original broadcast order. The first two stories, from 1968 and 1977 both have okay quality for vintage radio sci-fi and are surprisingly both in stereo. The BBC were still using mono for some productions as late as the mid 1980s.
1968 - ‘Leviathan ‘99′
2099. Ships sail toward the stars instead of under them. One is led to its destruction….

1982 - ‘Fahrenheit 451′
