Earworm by Simon Passmore, today 2.15pm BBC Radio 4

March 11, 2015 Ellen Gallagher

EARWORM, a 45 minute radio drama written by Simon Passmore and directed by Sasha Yevtushenko. Click here to stream it live today (Wednesday 11th March 2015) at 2.15pm, or to catch it on iPlayer after broadcast.

The story:

Tasked with producing an item for a television show about Britain's worst film director, researcher Mia goes in search for the fabled horror film Earworm and its creator. Urban myths surround this little known video nasty, with rumours that cast and crew suffered unexplained accidents during production, its director went into hiding after destroying all known copies of the film, and that its soundtrack is capable of affecting the viewer in sinister ways. Spurred on rather deterred by the myths, Mia seeks out the film's secret, and in doing so, puts herself in danger.

What the critics say:

"The suspense is so skilfully layered that when a clip from the film’s soundtrack is played I was genuinely unsettled — it’s radio’s equivalent of The Ring!" - Jane Anderson, The Radio Times

Mia - Chloe Pirrie

Josh - Shaun Mason

James - Justin Salinger

Lena - Jane Slavin

Charlie - Ian Conningham

Craig - David Acton
