Hauling Like A Brooligan

Stephen Gallagher

An Alternative to Suicide

The radio drama that led to me being considered for Doctor Who, now back on air after several decades as a ‘lost’ programme (BBC Radio 4 Extra, 23.06.2025). Created for Radio 4’s Saturday Night Theatre in 1979, the play was broadcast in a special run of technically ambitious dramas titled Hi-Fi Theatre. Producer Martin Jenkins told me many years ago that the BBC had wiped the masters, so as with so much restored material it’s a collector to the rescue. Bootlegs of various qualities have been knocking around for a while, but it’s nice to be legit again.
