Cracking stuff, the Mountains of Madness with Richard Coyle was good, so hopefully this one will be aswell. :)

Wonderful! Got a bunch of molding to get done and this will be perfect background. Thanx for the heads-up Doug!

I've listened to 1 and 2 and really enjoyed the story and presentation - much better (in my opinion) than the earlier radio play Mountains of Madness, also featured on Radio 4 extra.

Really enjoyed ep1. good performance and great mood music. Ep2 is due in a couple of mins. 4xtra is a bit repeaty so its great to have some original productions although you can never have too much "Journy into space". :D

Been listening to these on BBC Iplayer. Good atmospheric stuff, but the Wayne June reading is better IMO. The Weird Tales are worth a listen - "HP Lovecraft" locked away in a cell, introducing stories inspired by his writings

How do you download radio programs on I-Player? I can't find a way of doing it.

Thanks for the link, I listened to all five parts last night back-to-back and enjoyed them very much. 

Then played CoC today, and we ran into Deep Ones, though our characters didn't know to call them that.  "Fishy monsters"

I tried but I don't think you can, a shame because I'd be happy to listen more than once

EP4-5 to go for me, and so far I have loved it! Even the shakey accent (insanity inspired?) of Zadok Allen!

My mistake, I thought he meant he'd downloaded them using I-player, d'oh!  lol

Listened to the first three parts while I was doing some painting this afternoon. Perfect accompaniment  :)

Rather good actually. I've always thought Richard Coyle was a pretty good actor.

But be warned. BBC iPlayer only holds content for a week or so. The first episode disappears tomorrow I think, so catch it while you can. Obviously you've got correspondingly more days to listen to episodes 2 - 5.

The above link didnt work for me, but just go to BBC.co.uk, select iPlayer, and search for Shadows Over innsmouth. It takes you straight to the available episodes...
