Exclamation Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde - 1985 Radio Drama TF

Hello there,

Now, before the rallying and torch bearing, I would like to assure the forum that this find is indeed remarkable - even for me - and indeed is something that I felt should be brought to the forums attention. Though, as always, some explanation will be needed .

Keeping in mind the saturation of media as regards J/H, one of the most particular and popular has been the audio/radio dramas concerning the doctor and his alter-ego. And even more so, depictions of the actual transformation therein. In this respect, I have found a recent upload of the then unprecedented and still famous 1985 rendition of the story for radio in which the transformation and reversion are depicted, and to quite remarkable affect too. Indeed, a still celebrated and distinguished work even thirty years on, and well regarded among J/H fans who know of it .

Also, and more pointedly, the first transformation in the story - Hyde's reversion is here https://youtu.be/mxuZveCyl1w?t=37m9s and the second - Jekyll's final transformation into Hyde is here https://youtu.be/mxuZveCyl1w?t=50m56s .

Indeed, the whole drama is available and only lasts an hour - given its abridging and revision back then - though it does work to wonderfully compel the ambiance and energy of the Victorian period


Thanks again,

Alchemical Night.
