On Saturday the 18th of February 1995, Radio 4 dedicated prime slots of its schedule for an unprecedented airing of an adaptation of Len Deighton’s Bomber. Aired throughout the day, at timings to coincide with what was happening at that moment in the drama, Bomber would be nothing like what had come before and has not been done since. Joining me to discuss the production is producer Jonathan Ruffle, director Adrian Bean, writer Jope Dunlop and actress Alice Arnold to discuss the making of Bomber and its impact nearly 30 years later.
