Can't remember if I've mentioned this before, but in the debate at
Redemption, the
majority of those in the discussion on the two radio plays regarded them as
canon
too.
Yes, I know-- but from what someone told me afterwards who'd been there, for some fairly curious reasons, mainly "...because they were done by the BBC." In any case, because there's some dispute about them (I do know I'm not the only one who excludes them from canon), they weren't included. Anway, neither of them provide much in the way of fuel for the slash interpretation :)... though they do support the heterosexual-crew viewpoint (if only for Avon and Soolin). Maybe I *should* have included them! Curses! Oh, if only I weren't such a purist... :).
I've actually been listening to Syndeton Experiment recently and was inspired to write a review. Wanna hear it?

Yes, if only because I still haven't been able to bring myself to listen to the play itself. Went into the BBC shop the other day and bought a Twelfth Night with Josette Simon in it, and the version of Childhood's End with Steven Pacey - but I left the copy of The Syndeton Experiment on the shelf...
