Well, I just finished listening to my tapes of the BBC radio play of Arthur C. Clarke's "Childhood's End", starring Steven Pacey. And "starring" was right, his is the voice which holds the narrative together. I don't know how true it was to the book, having never read it. But it was a vivid (if one can use that term for a radio play) production. Yes, Steven Pacey did a good job, along with everyone else.

Far to brief, but it does really manage to capture the horror of the original work. Pacey does a better job with this than he did on the Blake's 7 radio stuff. I'd definitely recommend picking it up if you happen to stumble across it.
