Thank you for visiting our site!

I've just finished writing a radio script. Can I send it to you?

We are no longer producing any new plays.

We suggest you try asking the BBC for its list of independent producers. You may be able to interest one or more of these producers in your work.

I've been visiting the pages of profiles of people you've worked with. I'd very much like to get in touch with....... Could you pass on a message for me?

I'm sorry, I can't pass on messages as I don't have e-mail addresses for the people on the list. Melvyn Bragg is the person most frequently requested. He can be contacted by snail mail through his office at London Weekend Television.

I'd very much like to get hold of copies of the Magical Music Box for my children. Could you help?

We produced all the audio stories for the Magical Music Box, but our involvement with the project ended there. (See our Magical Music Box page for details of our role in the series.) Marshall Cavendish can be contacted by phone on (London) 0171-734-6710.

We have just heard that Marshall Cavendish are no longer distributing the Magical Music Box.

I've heard your Sherlock Holmes series on NPR in the States. Can I buy it on tape?

We used to sell our dramatisations of classic stories on tape. Unfortunately they are now all sold out, and will not be re-issued in the near future. However, you can come back to our Drama Collection page to find out if there are any new developments there.

I'm writing an article about Radio. Would it be possible to do an interview with Tim Crook?

Tim gets lots of requests and has no spare time! You can, however, quote from his books: International Radio Journalism and Radio Drama, both published by Routledge. He has also written several articles for this website: International Radio Drama, The History of Independent Radio Journalism in Britain and The Psychological Power of Radio. He also has several other books in the pipeline.

I'm an actor. Can I send you my voice tape?

Sorry, we are no longer producing any new plays and therefore not hiring any actors.

I used to enjoy listening to your plays in Real Audio. Is it possible for you to keep an archive of past plays so we can listen to them again?

Sorry, no. Real Audio files are quite large and take up a lot of room on the server. As we are no longer trading as a limited company, we are unable to afford the extra space to keep all the Real Audio files on there.

 

I sent some snail mail to your PO Box address and it was returned to me. Is this address still current?

No, I'm afraid we are no longer using the PO Box address and any mail sent there will be returned to the sender by the Post Office. The Post Office will not forward this mail to us. If there is no return address on mail, they will dispose of it. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, but the Post Office has its own rules which are beyond our control.

 

Where can I study Radio?

Tim Crook is Head of Radio at Goldsmiths' College, University of London. He runs undergraduate and postgraduate courses. You can visit the website to find out more about the course.
