Thank you to all you everyday humans, who do heroic deeds everyday! What a well told, heart-achingly beautiful story.
I didn't want this story to end. Thank you.
❤❤❤
loved this, cleverly done . keep the good work up. more please.
What a brilliant absolutely brilliant representation. This is a heart-breakingly moving story. Thank you.
they should really seperate the audio drama SERIES from the anthologies
beautiful and relatable story i feel like its natural for br0thers to have this competitive nature when they are young but move on. the parents favoritism can be a harmful trait that can often discourage those who still listen to their parents or look at them for guidance. what matters is not the parents regressive view but how we relate and share our experiences with our siblings. i think, any sibling should take a listen
mary has the most sporadic emotionally anxious personality. i love you one minute, i dont want to leave u, i belong to my daughter walter, i dont want you to leave, i approve of your trip to africa >hey lets go swimming tf??
had me THE whole time! well done!
Lol
Intriguing stuff! It reminds me of one of those children's mysteries I used to watch. You know, kids investigate something and get far more than they bargained for. I'd call this "an extended trailer" though, to make you download BBC Sounds for the rest of it.
This is a superb drama. The quality of the production is excellent and the story line is full of tension from start to finish. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
