Fear on Four downloads

There was a fantastic Radio 4 series called Fear on Four that ran in the late 80s / early 90s; despite the fact all the shows were spooky thrillers they all had completely different settings ranging from the Napoleonic War to futuristic sci-fi. Although I didn’t listen to the show when it was originally aired I became a fan when they were rerun on BBC7 on Sundays. I was so impressed with it I contacted the BBC to ask if there were any plans to release the show on CD – they replied saying no.

Yesterday I found a site that has all 48 episodes available for free download; such radio recordings are considered Old Time Radio (or OTR), which means they are considered so old that they are no longer protected by copyright. The quality of the recordings are generally very good and the webmasters have kindly supplied the episode titles and original air dates.

UPDATE! They’re no longer available on that website but you can now get them here:

Note: I didn’t upload these and am not responsible for the content of the sites I link to.
