Sometime Never - AudioReview

"This is my experiment, not yours!"

7th July 1983. Ghost hunter Nancy Timperley visits what used to be the Summervale Holiday Camp, on the East Yorkshire Coast - the location of a tragedy that took place many years earlier. Tape recorder at the ready, she calls out to the spirits, hoping for a connection with the supernatural. However, out of the darkness steps the mysterious David Voland... He is friendly, engaging, and seems to know a great deal... But what is his connection with Nancy's work? Come to think of it, just what is Nancy's connection with ghost hunting? There are mysteries to uncover...

"Sometime Never" is new ground for Spokenworld Audio, a company that has, until now, focused solely on single-voiced dramatic readings and radio documentaries. New territory perhaps, but not an unfamiliar one to award-winning writer and director Neil Gardner, whose hard work and dedication (along with his team, including partner Tanja Glittenberg) has seen an increase in productivity. And so, 2014 welcomes the first full-cast audio from Spokenworld, starring Simon Jones and Rosalyn Landor, with a thoroughly intruiging story written by Scott Harrison.

Almost half an hour in length, this is one tale that crafts an instant ear-grabber, enhanced with fabulous sound design, and music by James Dunlop. Nancy has been to Summervale before, as a child, the sole survivor of a devastating fire that caused the death of 500 people. David, however, is far from being just a passer-by, for he carries a secret that must remain hidden. Via flashback, we learn of the shocking truth, and the length someone must go to to protect their children. It is a look at morality and consequence. It does also make you think, about how we live our lives, and what defines us, and how we may be perceived. Loss plays a huge part in this story, perfectly performed by the cast.

Fans of popular sci-fi comedy series "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (created by English writer Douglas Adams) will no doubt be familiar with Jones' work: he played lead character Arthur Dent in both the radio and television series! In addition, his career has graced both film and stage. Other work includes various voice acting and audiobooks such as "The Adventures of Sexton Blake", which originally broadcast on BBC Radio 2 in 2009. It is therefore rather delightful to find this highly-esteemed actor playing the part of David in "Sometime Never". That is the beauty of Spokenworld, casting actors of this caliber and really giving the listener something to cherish. Equally rewarding is the performance by Landor as Nancy - an award-winning audiobook narrator, this lady is known for roles including that of Helen Burns in the 1970 film adaptation of Charlotte Brontë's "Jane Eyre", as well as her being cast as Pru Standfast in British television series "C.A.T.S. Eyes", spin-off from police drama "The Gentle Touch".

Neil Gardner and James Dunlop have worked together previous to "Sometime Never" on the second series of "The Confessions of Dorian Grey", published by audio company Big Finish, in 2013. Clearly the working relationship established during this period has grown to developement of other equally as stunning projects, and we can only benefit from such a collaboration. Full-cast audios are enriched by skillful sound design and music, capturing vivid imagery that permeates the mind and senses, and Spokenworld know this all too well - Harrison's script has been brought to life in the best way possible, the perfect "calling card" for a new audience whilst pleasing regular fans too!

Gardner has been a champion of audio for over twenty-four years, with a deep passion for independent productions. He has always believed in the medium, and appreciates its qualities and diversity. After all, where else can you create kingdoms, universes and magic on a respectable budget? Sound has the ability to engage in history, culture, religion... and conflict, whether it be either personal or global. For him "Sometime Never" also signals a dream come true, as he says: "I launched Spokenworld Audio in 2010 specifically to get to a time and place where we would be able to do just this sort of thing, commission and produce our own audio drama."

With further two-person audiobooks coming in 2014, and a feature-length full-cast project in the pipeline, things are looking fantastic for the team. I, for one, cannot wait to see what develops at Spokenworld HQ over the coming months. Having recently reviewed shorts "Twin Points" and "Inside The Machine" (which precede a collection of science-fiction stories to be launched this year), I can honestly say the future of independent audio is safe in the hands of these fine people! And with past and present collaborations including such names as Nicola Bryant, Emma Darwall-Smith, Michael Fenton Stevens, Barnaby Edwards, and Debbie Chazen (along with many more yet to come), the passion for audiobooks is reaching out to a diverse public whose own tastes are as varied and appetising...

Final mention must go to Harrison, who not only engineers a well-thought out idea for "Sometime Never" but shows genius in his approach, masterfully teasing us with a plot that will not only surprise but satisfy too - with past work including projects for Big Finish such as "Blake's 7" and "The Confessions of Dorian Gray", what else can you expect?

Twin Points - AudioReview

---

Article author: Alwyn Ash

"With a shudder of despair he stepped forward into the lane, its illumination coming from battered old street lamps..."

If previous story Inside The Machine had an air of mystery about it, "Twin Points" takes that and enhances it with a vision of darkness. Written by Neil Gardner, and based on an original idea by Tanja Glittenberg, this is one tale every horror and thriller enthusiast will love to hear! And so welcome to a Twilight Zone-esque slice of unworldly fiction so intense and dramatic that, by the end, you will feel its cut! There is also a morality so in touch with real world events that the very words "poetic justice" immediately spring to mind; I applaud the ingenuity in its approach to this particular subject matter!

Enjoying it so much, I emailed Tanja, who kindly had this to say about her tale, "The Inspiration for this one was an idea I had for ages something to do with flickering lights and the uncomfortable feeling it always caused in me. So I told Neil about it and what I think should be part of the story (fear, terror, torture...) and he really liked the idea and a few moments later he started to type and came up with the finished story. I absolutely loved it and soon we had the luck to have the wonderful Michael Fenton Stevens to read it for us. He too liked it and gave the whole story an even bigger impact."

Though a short story, there is so much I would like to talk about in this review. However, I must adhere to caution for spoilers. And so... Without doubt, those at Spokenworld understand not only how to put an audiobook together but clearly enjoy working with all its many layers, perfecting sound and delivery, employing all their talents in producing masterpiece after masterpiece. If I am to place Spokenworld with company then who better than Big Finish, Bafflegab, and Textbook Stuff! This is the brilliance in which Spokenworld work, and if "Twin Points" is an example of their range then it is with pride that I write these words.

"It lay ahead of him, the long dark alleyway, a route without pity, a remorseless seemingly unending passageway of nightmares and fear..." As is clearly forewarned on the website, "Twin points" contains some rather disturbing imagery; indeed it is extremely graphic in those areas of the tale where pain and torture are explored precisely, an intense experience for the listener. Personally I enjoy these excursions into the downright creepy and mysterious. If you think that the darkness breeds horror, perhaps you have not yet embraced the light...?

Michael Fenton Stevens, an actor and comedian whose other audio work includes "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and Big Finish's "The Kingmaker", is absolutely the right choice as narrator for this piece, both timing and pitch perfect, his delivery so engaging that you feel the threat and tension build, all the while focusing on the source of two glowing dots at the far end of the alleyway. It is a walk through the unknown, a steadily paced nightmare that will have you mystified and suspicious, surmising and yearning for truth. No matter the intensity or agony, the obsession in discovering answers is too great for the unnamed protagonist of the tale. From the start, "Twin Points" has a focus of its own, and you instantly feel for the man as he is seemingly tortured by something intangible.

Like "Inside The Machine", there is a greater mind at work, an entity whose purpose is unclear until the last moment, in this case the eighth minute - and the revelation is a true eye-opener, I can assure you! The twist is so compelling that a second listening was required, if only to view the piece in a different... light, shall we say? It is most definitely an intriguing experience, comparing the two sets of emotions that you will no doubt touch upon. For the most part I was reminded of "Fire in the Sky" (1993), a sci-fi horror drama directed by Robert Lieberman, and that feeling of being subjected to a nightmarish scenario that specifically targets both psychological and physical, helpless, solely at the mercy of some unknown and emotionally detached force or greater power.

As already mentioned in my "Inside The Machine" review, this is both a taster of Spokenworld's wares and a sample of what is to come in 2014, specifically a collection of short sci-fi stories written by Neil Gardner. Other short tales available on the Spokenworld website include "The Sound Within" and "Saya's Last Gasp", read by John Banks and Louise Jameson respectively, so now is a good time to sample their delights, and get on board for what can only be a beautiful journey. Even comparing "Inside The Machine" and "Twin Points" there is much diversity, a sign that variety and surprise will always be employed in these fine productions. I am, therefore, excited at what is still to come...

The (Re)Making of A Doctor Who Classic

GUEST article author: Neil Gardner


"How lovely it is when the actor recognises that you, as producer, have an equal role in creating the product... makes you feel included somehow..."

A few weeks ago, across a 3-day weekend, I teased many people on Twitter and Facebook that I was off to deepest, darkest Oxfordshire to record a major new Doctor Who audiobook for the lovely folk at AudioGO. What I didn't (and couldn't) say at the time was WHICH DW classic I was producing and WHO the reader was. Well, friends, the muzzle has been removed and I can tell you everything.

As any good Doctor Who fan knows, back in the 1980s there were occasional problems that hit the show, one of the biggest was a strike by the electricians, which sadly put paid to a Tom Baker serial known to the world as SHADA. Written by the incredible Douglas Adams, the show was part filmed, but it couldn't be completed and so ended up on the BBC scrapheap. It was later revived on VHS with the existing episodes and some new Tom Baker voiceover, plus a rather nice little script book. Later still, the top chaps at Big Finish made a fantastic audio version. And in 2012, BBC Books are releasing the complete "Doctor Who: Shada... the lost adventure by Douglas Adams" as written, and completed, by top Who scribe Gareth Roberts.







When I first heard the news of this book being released, back sometime in 2011, I immediately got in touch with AudioGO DW commissioning editor Michael Stevens and BEGGED to be allowed to produce it. For so many reasons this is such an important DW book for me. First it is a key piece of Who history, second it is a key piece of Tom Baker history, third it was written by Douglas Adams (my literary hero) and fourth... well... it is such a massive release, and I am an anorak for this sort of thing!

And then, about a month ago, I got the email asking me to produce the book as audio...but there was a rider... it had to be recorded at a specific studio in the Oxfordshire countryside. Normally I get to do anything that needs recording in London, or sometimes Manchester or Birmingham. So why this studio I'd not heard of in the lovely countryside? Hmmm. OK, so I rang the studio, got it booked and sorted...we would have to record over a Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday as the reader only had those 4 days free. Fine and dandy. "So who is reading it?" Mickie the studio owner asked. Good question.

The next email arrived from AudioGO and you had to pick my jaw up off the floor. The reader was going to be, none other than the Lady Romana herself... LALLA WARD! Aaarggh, uurgh, oooooh. Lalla Ward... alongside Lis Sladen, she was MY companion, and even more exciting she was the companion of MY Doctor. Well, blimey. This job was turning out to be better and better.

Admittedly the thought of a 2.5hr journey from Croydon, through rush hour traffic to Oxfordshire... and then back again in the evening, didn't thrill me. But this was ROMANA! Reading SHADA! Not only had she been Mrs Tom Baker, but she had been close friends with Douglas Adams. What an opportunity to meet and work with such an influential character in my life.







So that was that. The job was on. I had the hefty script (almost 500 pages long) and a week or so until the recording. "Oh, Neil," comes the email from Michael, "could you call Lalla and just check everything is OK with her and the script?" Er...... CALL LALLA WARD?! Aaaaaaaargrgghhggghhhghg (I see now where Douglas got some of those great alien names from... hitting random keys on the keyboard can be very creative).

I am not prone to nervousness around famous actors, we are all just doing a job and mine is to help them do theirs, and keep the gig going smoothly and technically on spec. But for some reason, just as when I first met Tom, or first worked with Lis, the idea of chatting to Lalla filled me with butterflies. But of course, she was lovely, friendly, utterly professional and a real joy to talk with. She apologised for making me come all the way up to the Oxfordshire countryside, but explained that she had used that studio a lot recording other audiobooks and that she was due to fly off on a trip the day after recording ended, so being near to home was important. How lovely it is when the actor recognises that you, as producer, have an equal role in creating the product... makes you feel included somehow.

And so the fateful morning arrived. I was up at 5am and put together my kit - iPad with pdf script, additional lines to record for promo stuff, USB stick x 5 plus portable hard drive, a load of medicine (since I was rather under the weather at the time), mobile phones, wallet & money for petrol, and the must-have Sat-Nav. Bag bulging, hat on head, I kissed goodbye to Tanja and headed off at 6.30 to drive through Central London then head out west on the A40 and M40. Unusually for a Friday morning the traffic was clear, and I got a great run down the motorway (listening to some Doctor Who audiobooks as I went... of course!) I was soon wending my way through beautiful Oxfordshire villages, such as Woodstock. And before you knew it, I was there, parked outside this rural studio in a tiny village. Very idyllic, and very unusual.







"Please close the gate quickly... two very fast dogs live here" announced the garden gate. Fair enough, Lalla had warned me about the studio doggies and their love of escaping into the fields. And then, before I knew it, I was inside this beautiful country cottage, a grinning Mickie and his lovely wife greeting me, and Lalla Ward surrounded by bouncy dogs, sitting with a cup of tea in the kitchen. And so began 3 days (not 4, Lalla was too good a reader to need 4 days!) of rural recording bliss. We had a lot of fun in those sessions. Tea breaks were a chance to talk about the life, universe and everything. I learned about Douglas, and Doctor Who...about Queen and dog training... and we nattered like old gossips. It was a fabulous time. It is also the only studio I've ever worked in where you have to pause every now and again because of the sound of horses clopping past outside. No matter how good your sound proofing, those hoofs make a noise!

So far, all good. Long days but lots of fun. We were all loving the book...such a brilliant piece of writing. We were racing through the script, everything was sounding good, Lalla was happy and we were all relaxed. As we came to a close on Saturday evening, we knew that we only needed 4 hours to record on Sunday to complete the job. This meant, Mickie suggested, that we could finish by 2pm and have a nice country pub roast lunch together. Oooh, now THAT sounded nice. So far we had spent Friday and Saturday lunchtimes in the nearby pub, enjoying some extremely tasty food...and having a great laugh swapping various life stories. But a Sunday lunch with Lalla Ward, now that would be special for a Whovian. I asked if Tanja could come up and join us on Sunday, which was received with a wonderful warmth and excitement.







And then Lalla dropped the bomb... she would, hopefully, be bringing her husband along for the recording AND for lunch. Her husband. Richard. RICHARD DAWKINS! He is my real-life hero. Away from characters in books and film, and those incredible people who work in the emergency services (and who should, in my opinion be given massive pay rises and/or tax breaks), Richard Dawkins is the person I have always most wanted to meet. As an atheist and secularist he is, of course, incredibly important to me as a writer, thinker and exponent of free thought and questioning the status quo. But away from the controversial side of life, his work as an evolutionary biologist, academic, teacher and author has inspired me, educated me and illuminated my life. Yes, I am a Richard Dawkins fan... I just wished I had my old "Richard Dawkins is my God" t-shirt to wear!

And so came along one of those days in your life that you just can't quite believe is happening. Tanja and I arrived at the studio early morning, and there was Lalla, and in steps Richard with their own cute little dog. Yes, I was in awe for a moment. But we quickly got to work, and 4 hrs of recording later it was time for our lunch.

At the pub I sat next to Richard and had a wonderful chat about biology, evolution, religion, TV, audiobooks, Doctor Who... never have I felt (a) so much like a pig in doodah and (b) so woefully uneducated... the man is a behemoth in the brains department. Everyone at the table, including Mickie and his wife and daughter, Tanja and Lalla, joined in the free flowing conversation. And the roast dinner was a bit nom nom too! I even got to ask Richard the joke question I had always said to people I would ask him if I got the chance. Oh yes. I asked Richard Dawkins, evolutionary biologist, what sound does a giraffe make.......... which led to a hilarious chat about exactly what noise DOES a giraffe make, how its vocal system had evolved, etc... Pig in doodah, I am telling you... that was me!







And so, lunch finished, we headed back to the studio to complete a few final pages, take a few piccies (as seen here) and for me to get Richard to sign my copy of The God Delusion (well, I had to, didn't I?) It had been an incredible few days in the company of some fascinating people. Working with Lalla was a joy, and I hope very much to record more audio with her soon. I've already got a few ideas up my sleeve, and I also hope AudioGO will use her for some other audiobooks as well. Heading home, Tanja and I were happy smiley people, ready to tackle the editing that lay ahead of us.

And so, here we are, a couple of weeks on. The editing has been completed and all the audio files are with ace composer Simon Power for some atmos/musical magic to be added. As well as Lalla reading, and Simon's score, John Leeson has returned as the voice of K9, which really adds to the Tom Baker-era feel of the piece.  Shada is an outstanding piece of writing which Gareth can be extremely proud of (as a Tom-era Whovian I was overjoyed at how the story was completed) and I am sure that you will enjoy Lalla's wonderful reading of the book, and understand that creating this audiobook was a real joy and pleasure for me (and Tanja).

Isn't Doctor Who fantastic, eh?







Doctor Who: Shada the audiobook is published by AudioGO Ltd, and released on 8th March 2012 as a 10 CD set and download.

One More Adventure With The Unforgettable Sarah Jane Smith

GUEST article author: Neil Gardner


"I hope I can convey the honour, the joy, the emotion I have felt by being allowed to produce this audiobook..."

When, earlier this year, we lost the incomparable Elisabeth Sladen, I thought about just how fortunate and honoured I had been to have the opportunity to produce some of her Sarah Jane Smith audiobooks, and to have such a laugh in the studio with her. I, like so many millions of others, was heart-broken that Lis was gone, and as time passed, I slowly came to terms with the fact that there would be no more Lis Sladen in my professional life.

And then there was an announcement that Lis had left an almost-completed autobiography in her desk drawer, and that her family had decided to finish it and have it published. What wonderful news for all of Lis’s fans, a little bit more Lis, and an insight into this wonderful woman’s life. And soon enough, there it was, as a pre-order hardback on Amazon… “Elisabeth Sladen: The Autobiography”, due for release on the 7th of November 2011.

Over the summer, I was working on the new Tom Baker 4th Doctor audio series “Doctor Who: Serpent Crest” for AudioGO, and during one of the recording sessions I heard that AudioGO may be recording an audiobook version of the autobiography. What?! Blimey! I immediately fired off an email to the team who decide on who gets to produce what, and I begged (I’m not ashamed to admit this) to be allowed to be the producer. I would happily travel to any studio anywhere in the country to record it. I was almost shaking… one more chance, one more adventure with Elisabeth Sladen… I have never wanted a job so much!

Read by Caroline John, with a foreword by David Tennant and a postscript by Brian and Sadie Miller

Months passed, and no news, but then, all of a sudden it was on. And it needed doing quickly so it could come out at the same time as the hardback. It was going to be a London recording (phew) and after the possibility of it being read by a member of Lis’s family, the final decision was made to have Caroline John read it. Caroline had played Liz Shaw, the Doctor’s companion before Katy Manning and then Lis took on the role. She was a good friend of Lis as well as a real fount of knowledge for those early Jon Pertwee days.

So that was it… we were booked in and waiting on the words. The finishing touches were being made to the manuscript by the family and publishers, so we continued to wait. But, with enough time for Caroline to prepare, and for me to do some fact checking and pronunciation sweeps, we finally had the words and we were studiobound.

We recorded over four days at the end of September, in the fantastic SNK Studios on Tottenham Court Road in central London. I am rarely nervous when working with famous actors, but I have to admit that waiting for Caroline to arrive that first morning, I was nervous as heck. This was Liz Shaw, a real bonafide companion. A close friend of the mighty Jon Pertwee… and I was to be her producer and director for four days. But I needn’t have been nervous, as Caroline is an incredibly warm hearted, kind, compassionate and hilarious person. And not averse to having a good old chinwag about the old days, and indulging a Doctor Who fan. Those four days with Caroline reminded me so much of the fun I had had in studio with Lis. And that’s not the only recollection of Lis, because at times, closing my eyes, I could have sworn it was Lis reading those words. Caroline, as you will hear, sounds uncannily like Lis at times.

And so we ploughed through the story of Elisabeth Sladen. Occasionally we had to pause asone or both of us got a bit emotional… Lis tells such great tales, and they feature a panoply of the great and good from the Whoniverse. But of course, over the years, so many have left us. And for Caroline much more than for me, these were friends and colleagues, and so an occasional lump in the throat was to be expected. And of course, slowly but surely we were heading for the end, the final bit of Lis in her own words. How would we manage the final chapter?

On that last day, we were joined in the studio by Michael Stevens, the commissioning editor at AudioGO who oversees all the Doctor Who audios, and many others as well. He is such a big Whovian, and his passion and love for all things DW is infectious and endearing. And he had known Lis very well, working on many audios with her over the years. And he had had such a big hand in bringing the autobiography in to the audio realm. It was great to have him with us as we started to record the final chapter. Caroline knows him well, and I think it gave her a real boost.







We recorded those last lines, and even now I am welling up a bit. They are so positive, so full of life and hope and love for her family and friends, colleagues and fans. When it was recorded, I went straight through to the booth and gave Caroline a long hug. I don’t know who needed it more, but it was most definitely needed! We had been on an adventure with Lis and Sarah Jane for the past four days, and now it was over. A drink, right then and there, would not have gone amiss!

Recording over, I had to speed home to start editing. This audiobook needed turning around in double quick time. In the past this has been my job, endlessly editing on my own for hour after hour, day after day. However, for a few months I had been training my fiancé, Tanja, to be a ‘first-pass’ editor, someone who can race through the raw recordings removing the mistakes, retakes and extraneousnoises. She had already been editing each day’s audio as we went along, so by the time I got home half the audio was done. For a few days, between us we edited the audio, having a good laugh at the out-takes (so many “Harry Roy” mentions… which will make sense once you hear the book) and reliving Lis’s story one more time. We then had to listen through to the completed audiobook again to check for any editing mistakes, and then I had to edit on some especially composed music that AudioGO sent.

But something was missing! No, we hadn’t forgotten to record a line or two. At the final moment, the publishers had a special Foreword and Afterword for the book… very special indeed. Lis spoke at length about the impact of coming back to DW with David Tennant as the Doctor. As much as Sarah Jane was Jon and Tom’s companion, she was in many ways also David’s. And so who better to pen a few words for the Foreword? We raced David in to a studio, and you can hear his lovely Scottish voice opening the audiobook, reminding us all of how wonderful and unique Lis and Sarah Jane were.

Lis also, unsurprisingly, speaks a lot about her family. Throughout the book you learn as much about her as a wife and mother, as you do about her as an actor. Completing the autobiography had clearly been an unbelievably difficult task for her husband and daughter (and they have done a beautiful job). But here, at the end of the book, Brian and Sadie manage to wrap up the story with elegance, grace, emotion and Lis’s trademark good-humour and generosity. Brian recorded the Afterword and it is a wonderful closing for the book. But I promise you, you will shed a few tears as he reads those last words.

And now the production work is done. The book is released on the 7^th November, and the audiobook is out at the same time. It is spread across 12 CDs and is one of the titles I am most proud of producing. It was also the first big project on which Tanja was able to fully contribute (we’ve since set up a new audiobook production business together… huzzah!) which I know Lis would have loved, she was always so encouraging of other people, and when I last worked with her was upset not to meet my (at the time) ‘new’ fiancé. Now THAT would have been some getting together… I’m not sure who would have told the worst stories about me!







I could never have made this audiobook in the time we had without Tanja, and she has become an incredibly skilled editor, someone I truly rely on. She is as much of a Doctor Who fan as I am, but came very late to the party as back home in Germany they didn’t show DW before the Christopher Eccleston series. But having been hooked, she went searching for more Who, and who did she encounter first? The inimitable Sarah Jane Smith, of course! Tanja isn’t one for writing lengthy prose in English (fair enough, I can’t write ANYTHING in German) so let me say on her behalf that Lis Sladen was HER companion, the character that really helped bring home to her what Doctor Who was about. She loved the Big Finish audios, and was frustrated not to have met Lis when I was producing the audiobooks. But Lis knew of her, and was so happy to hear we had gotten engaged. Somehow, in everyway, Lis crept in to our lives and made them immeasurably better. What a pair of weepers Tanja and I were that night Lis passed!

I hope I can convey the honour, the joy, the emotion I have felt by being allowed to produce this audiobook. As a lifelong Doctor Who fan, as someone who grew up with Tom Baker as MY Doctor and Sarah Jane Smith as MY companion, as a producer who had such a blast in the studio working with the beautiful Elisabeth Sladen… this was such an important production for me. Call it cathartic… maybe even a little indulgent… but I got to have my one final adventure with Sarah Jane Smith. And, if you buy the book, and especially the audiobook with Caroline John’s fantastic reading, you can also have one more adventure with Lis. It is something I know she will be smiling and laughing about, loving the ride and revelling in all our enjoyment of it.


RIP Elisabeth Sladen – you inspired, entertained, encouraged and befriended me. You were the world’s companion and you remain in our hearts and minds forever. May the adventure never end.
