One of the most interesting drama series currently on Radio 4:

Ah great, thanks!
I do wish the BBC Sounds app would tell me when there's a new series of something I've previously listed to. Only just realised S3 of Broken Colours has been released.

Thanks I've just subscribed x

Thanks for recommending this I'm really enjoying it! Even if I did accidentally start with series 1 episode 7 🤦🏻‍♀️

The bbc sounds app is annoying 🤣

You really need to get on board with the previous series chagrilly, they're really good.

More Darkness today, starting now.

[chagrilly]

Yes i stormed through the first two, loved them.

Finding the most recent series less engaging mainly down to me getting the two main characters mixed up all the time!

[nauticant]

Great!

I have the same problem with the current series. It's less tangible in a number of ways and the earlier two series were a more satisfying listen. I think I'll be on track by the next episode.

It does this for me if I click “subscribe”. E.g. TTOD popped up for me last week because I subscribed to series 1 I think.

I agree with PP that this series is harder as I find it hard to differentiate between the two main characters, also it jumps around in time a little and it took me awhile to figure out how to tell past from present.

i still really enjoy it though, love the concept.

does anyone else think the actress playing the doc sounds just like Rebecca Front?! I thought it was her for ages.

For all of the annoyance caused by the confusion of which of the two male characters we were hearing, and which time period we were in, I did eventually get to grips with the last episode. That was very effective. It didn't give the listener any easy answers.
