The Incredible Adventures of Professor Branestawm Review


This radio drama is broadcast on BBC Radio 7 and is someone telling a story rather than different people playing different characters. It's one man's voice telling the story of a character called "Professor Branestawm", it's one episode as part of a series. The narrator does well to describe the situations with enthusiasm and he changes his voice slightly when talking for individual characters to keep the listener interested. The narrator speaks in a friendly and warm tone so the listeners feel comfortable and happy to listen to the drama. The drama is also supposed to have a comedy feel to it and so the choice of narrator is a well made one. The story is both an introduction to the character of Professor Branestawm's physical appearance through the description of him at the beginning and an introduction to his quirks and his character through the story. Both entertaining and easy to listen to, this radio drama feels as though it is aimed at families.
