John Bryce's unseen episodes

Bad Wolf wrote: "Invitation to a Killing" was 90 minutes, so we're not seeing all of it in "Have Guns - Will Haggle", either.

...but you can get an excellent idea of how it might have been by listening to the radio version, retitled "Straight from the Shoulder", adapted from the original scripts. Ditto for "They Keep Killing Steed" which retains the intended (but ultimately unused) Spanish locale when adapted for radio as "Too Many Olés".

Don't forget both of these stories (and more) are available for free download from my Avengers on the Radio site - just follow the link in my signature.

I didn't know about the episode on radio.
Is it the adaptation of Invitation to a killing ?
Do you have a link ?
THANK YOU !

They are all on this page:

Avengers on the Radio: Free Stuff - The Serials

Enjoy!

Not having seen the script for Invitation to a Killing, I can't be sure if the radio serial is a faithful adaptation of it, but it certainly has significant differences from the television episode, Have Guns - Will Haggle.

You can read more about the radio version here.

Just a question : scripts of THE TOWN OF NO RETURN (first version), INVASION OF THE EARTHMEN , INVITATION TO A KILLING, GREAT GREAT BRITAIN CRIME can be found on the internet ?

Concerning this website, is it secured if we download them ?
What will happen next ? 'Cause I don't have winamp but Windows Player.

Windows Media Player will replay the files without problem. As for 'secured', I'm not sure what you mean, but I haven't heard of any problems (it's my own site, I should point out).

You're best to save the files to your hard drive, by the way, and then play them from there. That way, you have them to keep.

It's a pleasure. But surely it should be a glass of champagne in your hands!

Could someone tell me where does the information regarding John Dankworth providing a new Avengers theme with a vocal by Cleo Laine for John Bryce actually come from?

Someone should fan edit the Bryce episodes back into a sorta workprint. Ditching the Clemens stuff.

There's a bonus feature to be made here, that hasn't been done yet.
