The Night of the Triffids on BBC Radio Four Extra

BBC Radio Four Extra is currently broadcasting Simon Clark’s impressive audio adaptation of his 2001 The Night of the Triffids novel, the sequel to John Wyndham’s The Day of the Triffids, produced by Big Finish in 2014.

Split into five episodes, the final installment will be transmitted on 6 July with all episodes available on the iPlayer (in the UK) until 29 July.

Back in July 2014, Simon spoke to the S:AWA site about his work on the new audio version of his book. Since then, he has written his first script for the Big Finish Survivors range, penning the episode Contact for series two.

Now, why would BBC Radio Four Extra not want to consider broadcasting the very wonderful first few series of Survivors audio adventures too…
