Classic Serial: On the Beach 02-11-2008 - 09-11-2008

From The Radio Times

After panic, after hysteria: Nevil Shute's novel is about the final months of life on Earth, with radiation from nuclear war spreading across the world. This is about waiting for the end: very unusually, perhaps even uniquely, it's powerful drama about the fear of the known. The book is famous, so playwright Mike Walker and director Toby Swift quickly fill you in: you get what's been going on. But then they make you really get it, really grasp and feel the true enormity of the drama. You'll feel choked-and then overwhelmed when suddenly there is just the faintest, tantalising suggestion of hope.

-- William Gallagher
