Publisher's Summary:

The Scarifyers is a series of rip-roaring tales of comedic supernatural intrigue set in 1930s Britain, distilling the likes of Dick Barton, the Avengers, The Devil Rides Out and Quatermass into cracking new audio adventures. The Scarifyers is broadcast on BBC Radio 4 Extra, and has been described in the national press as 'rollicking good fun', 'a slice of audio perfection', 'the smartest and most enjoyable thing on British radio' and 'like Tintin but with the lights out.

'This is the fourth Scarifyers adventure. Sir Basil Champion (Brian Blessed) is the world's worst explorer. In a career that has seen him lost in the Kalahari, captured by pygmies, and held captive for two-and-a-half years in a pit of rabid guinea fowl, it seems his luck can get no worse - until he is eaten by a rhinoceros. Some weeks after his unlikely demise, MI-13 is called upon to investigate a mysterious outbreak of the Black Death - at a Chelsea solicitor's during the reading of Sir Basil's will...

Has Sir Basil's legendary bad luck reached out from beyond the grave, or is there a more sinister explanation? And what is the connection with his ill-fated Egyptian expedition fourteen years earlier? Lionheart (Nicholas Courtney) and Dunning (Terry Molloy) must journey from London to the highlands of Scotland and the lost tombs of Egypt, to uncover the truth behind Champion's death... and the Curse of the Black Comet.

Critic Reviews:

"A first-class romp... one of the best Scarifyers stories yet." (Den of Geek)

"If you like derring-do, Boys Own adventures with a modern twist, then The Scarifyers is for you... Pure audio magic." (Total Sci-Fi Online)

A rip roaring adventure

loved it!! fantastical adventure full of daring do!

great cast, fun story and very funny! brian blessed and cast continue to delight

Best of British

Excellent script delivered by a great cast. Nicholas Courtney will be sadly missed. Would have loved to have seen this on screen.

Really good

Excellent all round acting. Good story and great performances by all involved. I love all the books I have listened to in this series so far!

Brilliant!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Scarifyers: The Curse of the Black Comet to be better than the print version?

Well, that rather goes without saying.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I enjoyed all of it. It's a great yarn in the style of the times it is set in.

Any additional comments?

I am always wary of downloading BBC comedy. Sometimes, it can be pretty dire. However, this series is extremely well-written and well-acted (well over-acted at times). What other series can boast a guest star of the likes of Brian Blessed? I enjoy Nicholas Courtney, though I do prefer David Warner. Again, I am impressed by the quality of the actors taking part in this series.

It is not laugh-out-loud funny, but it isn't meant to be. I just smiled all the way through, and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Logan's Run - Last Day

if the upcoming movie is as well paced and thought out as this radio show, then we are in for one hell of a ride!

... Of course, there were some twists that I was completely surprised by, but the writer was savvy enough to draw from all 3 novellas to create a single well-thought-out storyline which did a great deal to explain the nuances of the original WFN concepts and integrate our current levels of technology into them to increase the plausibility factor significantly.

Final notes: Get this, you will not be disappointed!

Another hit

Colonial Radio Theater did it again!! This is definitely a family favorite. This audiobook is true to the story. My sons love the created mood-great music & super sound effects. Thanks for so much fun.

Jerry

The brief glimpse into the background of the world of Logan's Run was appreciated but the characters were average and had no depth.

RUN LOGAN RUN

THIS IS A SUPERB RADIO DRAMATIZATION OF WILLIAM F. NOLAN'S FABULOUS NOVEL LOGAN'S RUN. THE BOOK IS EASILY ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE SCIENCE FICTION NOVELS AND I HIGHLY RECOMMEND READING AND OR LISTENING TO THE SOURCE MATERIAL. THERE IS AN EXCELLENT READING OF THE NOVEL AVAILABLE AT AUDIBLE.COM. THIS VERSION IS AN EXCELLENT ADAPTATION, AND HAS ALL THE FLAVOR AND EXCITEMENT OF THE SOURCE MATERIAL, AND IS WELL ACTED WITH WONDERFUL SOUND EFFECTS TO BRING EVERYTHING YOU HEAR TO LIFE. GOOD STUFF.

Just OK

This book is a little dark, particularly its emphasis on death, and the future of mankind. The premise is interesting and the dramatization by the Colonial Radio Players is first rate (as always), I feel that much of the story about Logan and Jessica 6, that you see in the movie is not emphasized. But maybe the novel is much better. This book was just a little to dark for me. I would give in 3 1/2 stars. Maybe if it had been a little longer and the characterization more developed by the authors, it would be better.

Overall, it a quick listen, and you get you money's worth...!!

Members Reviews:

BBC at its best

This is another classic program by the BBC. The show has a fantastic original theme to it, and the BBC staff involved have shown there class at producing an original idea like Planet B. Series one and two are both available to download and at the end of 2010 series three was on the radio and will surely be available soon. A modern classic.

Unusual concept, well executed

It had been a few months since I read the premise, and had pretty much forgotten what Planet B was all about. This meant I started listening without really knowing what to expect, and to be honest, its a little confusing at first. Its also maybe a little slow to get going, but once it gets up to speed, I found it was well worth persisting with.

Don't read the Publisher's Summary!

As is all too common, the summary gives away too much of the plot.

That said, this is a great episode. Good (creepy) plot, good acting, good sound effects. You will enjoy it (even if you did read the summary).

Been looking for this for so long

Been looking for this story for soooo Long ,I couldn't remember the name finally found it

Before Grandma died, she gave her grandson, Billy, a toy telephone. When he uses it to talk to her, his parents dismiss it as overactive imagination - until Billy decides its time to join Grandma.

Members Reviews:

Hal Sparks is terrible.

If you remember the TV version, get ready for a big letdown. They'd have done better if they lifted the audio straight from that version. Hal Sparks sucks the life out of the script. He's totally unbelievable as a father begging for the life of his son.

Creepy. But good creepy.

Yeah, yeah. Little boy talking to his dead granny on the phone, I thought at first. Then it started to get creepy... Good voice actors. The little kid didn't even have that hated "obnoxious child actor" voice. At least not too much... A good episode.

An alcoholic bookie regrets that he wasn't a better father to his son, Pip, who was critically wounded in Vietnam. A visit to an amusement park gives them both a second chance.

Members Reviews:

Pretty good.

A degree of uncertainty as to where the story will go makes this a better than average episode. One dimensional voice acting by Fred Willard hurts it some, but not too much.

Christine?

A creepy "Christinesque" story. Apart from being a bit heavy on the suspenseful mood music and that the ending is a little short, this is a good episode. Not too similar to "Christine", so if youve seen the movie or read the book, it won't spoil this episode.

Peter Vollmer, a small-time neo-Nazi leader, yearns for more power. Advised by a shadowy benefactor, Vollmer's followers grow, as does his ego. (Peter Mark Richman starred in the Twilight Zone TV episode, entitle "The Fear", originally televised 5/29/64.)

Members Reviews:

History repeats itself, if we let it.

A history lesson - Twilight Zone style. A longer than usual episode. And a good one at that. Not as predictable as I'd expected. Unconvincing and weak performance by Marshall Allman.

Still worth a listen.

Members Reviews:

Agree with Duck, with Exception

It is not like this is expensive. I agree that this does not work as well on radio and certainly can not compete with William Shatner or John Lithgow, but it is not a waste of money. It was entertaining and just hearing Stacy Keach is worth a dollar.

Great story. Does not work well as a radio drama.

A very visual story. Sadly as such it doesn't transfer well at all to the radio/audio format. Too bad, since this really is a great story filled with that spooky T Z feeling.

If you've seen the original episode with William Shatner, or even the Twilight Zone Movie segment with John Lithgow, do yourself a favor and skip this one.

John Schneider does what he can, but comes nowhere near Shatner's or Lithgow's performances. Actually he sounds more nervous than a man in terror stricken panic.
