BBC R4 - Don Haworth's 'Dragon' Technical team - David Greenwood, Anne Hunt, & Donald McLeod Music & effects by the BBC Radiophonic Workshop Directed by Richard Wortley Broadcast July 8, 1982 Coded at 128/44.1 A world shared by men and a sentient species of dragons. Includes an alternative version of the 'George & The Dragon' story, this time told from the dragons' perspective, and with a very different result. "The story I am to tell is about the contention between ourselves & mankind on the face of the earth and of the contention within the hearts of many creatures stirred by that conflict. It is, above all, about my brother, Amalric, a prince of dragons. He whose valour, love, and honour in the end brought upon himself & upon mankind, & upon our nation, a fate unthinkable in the days when it yet lay before us, inevitable now when after many years we look back. I will speak first of those happy early days and of our noble and beloved Uncle George, commander of the army, former dragon errant, and teller of stories to the young." A touch portentous at times, but worth suspending disbelief for it for a while. NB The BBC also broadcast a (not so good) 60 minute version of this one.
