Listen to dramatization of Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury on BBC

brecklundin · 11-08-2010, 01:19 AM

For another six days from the time of this post you can listen to a really well done read of Fahrenheit 451 on BBC via the iplayer. Anyone can listen to BBC radio stuff even live streaming and they do a lot of SF on BBC 7. I listen to a lot of their stuff when I can remember the schedule (have to convert the time for live...d'oh!!).

Anyway the reading is excellent and I thought someone might enjoy a nice change from reading an old classic. Here is a link for the archive of the reading:

have fun!

This has to be episode one, right? It's 90 minutes, and I can't imagine anyone reading Fahrenheit 451 in 90 minutes.

no, it's one episode. The original book was not very long, somewhere around 200 pages as I remember. The 90-mins was plenty of time, unless I forgot the ending...

It's a dramatisation in one episode - well worth a listen.
