[@stillfedup1758]

So good! the Awful Woman was written and played so perfectly! Loved it, thank you so much for posting!

[@1506pinkers]

Excellent! I really enjoyed this. It isn't a parody - more of an homage. My love of M.R. James started at the age of twelve. I had borrowed 'Ghost Stories of an Antiquary' from the school library. On arriving home to an empty house on a wintry afternoon, I started reading 'Oh whistle and I'll come to you my lad' and was immediately gripped by it. On eventually looking up, I saw that the light was fading fast - and I was quite alone. I was considerably cheered by the arrival of my parents shortly after! I have loved James' stories ever since. He is indeed the Master of the uncanny.

I started reading his stories around the same age. My parents used to visit my uncle on Sunday afternoons to play cards. An avid reader, I entertained myself looking through my uncle’s books. He loved ghost stories, and so that was were I first met M R James.

This drama takes you by pleasant surprise, I love well written and well told by professional actors, thank you so much.....

[@johnneville403]

I was a little sceptical, but I really enjoyed this. Thanks for uploading.

[@schizoidboy]

I'm listening to this for the second time and I'm starting to root for the ghostly presence in this audio. Wonderful.

[@ArtKrikorian]

Wonderful. Applause for the author of this tribute to James and for all of the performers.

[@DerekTheHoly]

Thanks for uploading. The M. R James Podcast - "A Podcast to the Curious" praised this &, up until now, I have been unable to find it.

[@montaguejames5348]

You're welcome. If there is anything else you are interested in or can't find just send me a message and I'll see what I can do. Have a great 2014 :)

[@Offshoreorganbuilder]

Thanks. A very pleasing variation on the M.R. James stories. There should be more of these!

[@thedativecase9733]

Have you ever heard Stephen Sheridan's Radio 4 radio spoof "The Teeth of Abbot Thomas"?

[@peterbamforth6453]

Excellent 10/10 not so much as a parody more of a homage...

[@pashmina6270]

I'm tired of people assuming M.R. James was gay when there is no evidence to suggest it. During this era, a professor could not be a don at Cambridge and be married. None if them were. They were devoted to their profession just as a famous scientist or artist would be who devoted all if their time to their careers. There were many female writers such as tge Brontes, Jane Austen, Alcott who remained unmarried and weren't lesbians. People don't realize that casual sex was not as common in an era where people were under social scrutiny, and remaining unmarried usually resulted in celibate due to fear of syphilis.

[@schizoidboy]

I think were too obsessed about all these things related to someone's sex life or preference. I actually think people fear celibacy than they do different sexual orientations.

[@qimmu11]

I laughed so many times and so deeply. Thank you. That was wonderful.

[@jeremywebster9679]

Brilliant! The hidden events of the ending works well for radio and is very James.

[@bessofhardwick9311]

Really enjoyed this. Whoever played M.R. James has a great voice. Thanks for uploading.

[@samsum3738]

Very Jamesian .

[@douglasworley8422]

LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@tamsinthai]

I used to live there before moving to Thailand where it's warmer, and loved MR James as a child. Thanks for this. Please consider more BBC drama uploads. Lotsa crap on here :/

[@annetteeggett]

Absolutely loved this 👻

[@feralbluee]

i love these parodies :} thanks. . .

[@TheEnglishLoungeLizard]

Interesting...

[@jillfisher8853]

This is wonderful. Thank you so much!

[@paulchristodoulou7973]

Superb

[@RuthRogersWright]

I enjoyed this radio play. Excellent.

[@tkarcher940]

More!

[@valeriescobedo9516]

Enjoyed this recording

[@Theswerethebestthebest]

This was a great story and there really should have been a continuation because of the fright that the girls still had as they ran off the beach. With both of them sleeping in the same room the Ghost of Mr James should have started his first visit of terrorizing them because now all four know that there is a presence approaching them. There really should have been part 2 [ and thank you please continue with the horror stories and I'll be here listening ]

[@elizabethsheffield6609]

.....there's a nice hotel on the front at Aldburgh where they do a lovely cream tea!

[@blorac9869]

I can not stand this arrogant rude woman!

[@nickspong9811]

Does not look like Aldburgh at all .......there is a dark figure however in front of the second beach hut

[@stuartdevlin7897]

The photo looks like Southwold

[@peterbaxter2913]

@@stuartdevlin7897 It IS Southwold. I used to stay at The Lord Nelson pub, and the lighthouse beam through the window kept me awake for the first three nights!

[@1southernlover]

Personally , I am not fond of parody*s and this confirms my opinion, what a mash up ....

[@skidzholeshot1316]

what do you think they saw in the cript,i think he showed them his big willie lol

[@clifftrewin1505]

this is deeply and profoundly stupid
