A taut, three-part political thriller by Gary Brown. With Daniel Isaacs, Stuart Richman, Linal Haft, Lloyd Peters and Thelma Ruby. Producer Andy Jordan.

RADIO REVIEW Sep 03 / VRPCC newsletter
The last few months has been an unusual period for radio drama since it marks the return of Guy Meredith, Jonathan Smith, Barry Keefe, Alick Rowe, and Moya O'Shea, all of whom had new plays broadcast after a long interval. One hopes that other well-known names will find their way back into the schedules. There have been lots of other things too; another one-man play by Mike Mears, some well-produced Friday plays on rather serious issues, and good work by Marcy Kahan, Peter Kerry, Gary Brown (see below) and Val Syms, as well as by a number of younger writers.

MY DAD KNOWS....2003

9 Jun 2010 Prospero, Ariel, Reith and Gill
Gary Brown's comedy about artist Eric Gill's clash with the BBC over his famous sculpture of Prospero and Ariel. The argument was caused by the size of Ariel's genitals, believe it or not. No matter that you actually need a telescope to see the sculpture clearly...it even provoked a question in the House of Commons. Gill became quite a celebrity as he carved the statue in situ on scaffolding in front of Broadcasting House. In his trademark smock and beret, he drew the attention of the tabloid papers and became known as the "Married Monk". The play imagines conversations between Sir John and the artist as he passes him on his way into Broadcasting House each morning. It also looks at how Gill, the artist, struggled with reconciling his unusual beliefs and lifestyle with a major commission from the heart of the Establishment. Eric Gill . . . . .

The real life story of Captain Joe Kittinger and Project Excelsior.

So Project Excelsior was initiated to perfect a parachute system that would allow a safe, controlled descent after a high-altitude ejection. Francis Beaupre, a technician at Wright Field, Ohio (today Wright-Patterson Air Force Base), devised a multi-stage parachute system to facilitate manned tests. To test the system, staff at Wright Field built a 200 ft high helium balloon with a capacity of nearly 3 million cubic feet (85,000 m³) which could lift an open gondola plus pilot into the stratosphere. Joe Kittinger, who was test director for the project, made three ascents and test jumps. This is the story of the three jumps.

....from Diversity website review, Dec 2011:
Pete Roberts' latest play, SLEEPING DOG (R4, 1415, 28 Nov 11) was a comedy; the central character an architect who's a bit too cautious to make the big-time. He's spent many years doing dull projects, like designing public toilets. He's surprised when a big chance comes his way - an important new building - and he's determined to win the tender. Meanwhile, Fate is about to supply him with a problem; an unwelcome house-guest; a pop-singing busker who had a hit thirty years ago and who has some extremely irritating habits. Pete Roberts is good at comedy; he did "Breaking Up" many years ago; a school in chaos with the staff in revolt and the students taking over. In 'Sleeping Dog', David Shaw-Parker was the musician, Conrad Nelson the architect, and the producer was Gary Brown.

...ND, Diversity website review, Sep 2013
LOVE, WAR AND TRAINS (R4, 1415, 1 May 13), written and narrated by Ian MacMillian, surprised me. Regular readers will know my blind spot for poetry; as a scientist I prefer ideas to be expressed in as few words as possible, and in such a way that they cannot be misinterpreted. My 'ideal' writer is perhaps Paul Dirac, who wrote about science with crystalline clarity. Imagine my surprise when I found the rhyme and rhthym of MacMillan's narration entertaining. The play was essentially true; it was based on the story of his parents' courtship. His father, a sailor, briefly glimpses a woman in the WAAF. They write to each other as penfriends for a while; then eventually they arrange to meet. The story goes from there; effervescent, quirky and charming. Helping the narrator with sections of drama were actors Billy Boyd, Verity-May Henry, Henry Devas, Natalie Grady and Hamilton Berstock. The producer was Gary Brown.

Ian ....... Jeremy Swift, David ....... Conrad Nelson, John ....... Conrad Nelson, Nicky ....... Kate Coogan, Helen ....... Natalie Grady, Chardonnay ....... Lisa Allen, Waiter ....... Hamilton Berstock, Ben ....... Isaac Whitmore, Maisie ....... Jenna Addinall. Producer Gary Brown.

...ND, Diversity website review, Sep 2013
DEAD MAN'S SUIT (R4, 1415, 3 May 13) by Michael Stewart was an unusual science fiction story. A nerdy computer expert finds an expensive suit in a charity shop. He finds that it leads to love, and advancement at work, and other things; it turns his life around. Nevertheless there is a sting in the tail. Jeremy Swift took the lead, with Conrad Nelson, Kate Coogan, Natalie Grady, Lisa Allen, Isaac Whitmore, Jenna Addinall and Hamilton Berstock. The producer was Gary Brown. Here's Jane Anderson, summarised from RT:

Ian is a loser; never had a girlfriend, stuck in a dead-end job since he left college, and he's just been sacked. Then he finds a beautifully-tailored, silk-lined suit he picks up for a snip at a charity shop. It comes with a surprise.....and suddenly he becomes a force to be reckoned with, both with women and at work....

It's only the persistence of the secretary of the Ex-Beatles Fan Club which enables their genius to resurface.

LOST AND FOUND (R4, 1415, 2 Dec 13)
by Ian Kershaw, had a very simple plot; an elderly man suffering from dementia tries to connect with his daughter; essentially a two-hander between Tom Courtenay and Sally Carman.

BRIEF LIVES (R4, 1415, 10-11 May 22) by Tom Fry and Sharon Kelly signed off with what was described as 'Series 12' by the BBC; it was actually a two-parter; after 58 episodes 2007-2022, Sarah and Frank are finally going to get married. Problems arise for them when Sarah loses a work file and Frank has a visitor, Fat Doug, from his past. 'Brief Lives' has been a really excellent programme; for the few who haven't heard it, Frank works as a legal adviser in a Manchester legal practice; he helps steer clients through their encounters with the law and the police. Frank has been played throughout by David Schofield and his assistant Sarah most recently by Kathryn Hunt. Back in 2008 I described the series as 'a series of legal dramas a bit like Henry Cecil's "Brothers in Law", updated for the 00s'. I am pleased to see that most of the episodes are available indefinitely on BBC Sounds. The producer is Gary Brown.
