    14th- It has been a long while since the last update-unfortunately there were some access problems with the hosting site for the files and, although the problem has been fixed, has prompted me to transfer all the files for the site to another provider.
    I am not entirely happy with blogspot either and so I am addressing the two problems. While transfering the files I will also be migrating the site to WordPress. This is going to be a lengthy proccess as I will be working with a new template. I will not be updating or adding any more pages to this site. However, all audio  and updates will continue to be available to contributors. I am also sending the regular monthly Raw files (unedited files) to the new host site and these are available to contributors as normal. Hopefully the new Big Audio Drama Site will be running by the end of the year.


    December
    20th- Drama Page 65 is now available.
    15th-  November Raw files are now available. Drama Page 63 and Drama Page 64 are available.



    November
    29th- Sorry there has been such a long break in updates but the audio files were in jeopardy since the hosting site Diino was going to close down at the end of October.Fortunately it was saved at the eleventh hour, but by that time I had joined another site and am in the process of uploading to the new site. I will keep the Diino site open for the foreseeable future and when the files have finally uploaded to the new hosting site, I will run both sites at the same time and you can choose which is best.
    All October Raw files are now available. Drama Page 62 is available.

    1st- I have fixed a problem with "Treasure Island" on Drama Page 1. It was truncated at about 41 minutes.
    I have also added 3 more in "The Sensitive" series to Drama Page 51. I have a feeling there is one episode missing from this series and I cannot find a definitive episode listing and order. As far as I can see the episodes were aired over a 5 year period and needn't (I hope) be played in any specific order.

    20th- Due to a notice from the BBC regarding the removal of Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes links. The Big Audio Drama site will be taking a different course and flying under the radar. This will unfortunately mean access will no longer be possible from the site. Although I am able to post Drama Pages on the various plays that have been aired these postings should now be considered only as references.
    The Tier system will also be removed. Contributors to the storage cost won't be greatly affected by these changes.
    If anyone wishes to contact me for further information on this new direction please feel free and I will contact you as soon as I am able-usually within 24hrs bigaudiodrama3atlive.co.uk
