The Man In Black is back

I'm happy to announce that my episode of The Man In Black will be kicking off the new series.
Called Containment, It goes out on November 27th on Radio 4 extra at 6pm and again at midnight (and will no doubt be available on i-player too).

Listeners of a certain vintage (or anyone who caught recent repeats ) might know the titular narrator/guide as portrayed by Valentine Dyall or Edward De Souza. However in recent years the fella with the monochrome clobber has, appropriately enough, re-generated' into the form of Mark Gattis.

As I've mentioned before, the cast of my episode- Clare Corbett, Rikki Lawton, Katie Angelou, Carl Prekopp and Gabriel Brody- all did a terrific job, as did the production team of Cal Knightley, Mike Etherten and producer/director Gemma Jenkins (who also directed episodes of Radio 4's wonderful adaptation of Gormenghast).

I'm really keen to hear how it's turned out- and look forward to getting back into the studio with an Afternoon Play I'm co-writing next year.
