A: Radio Play: Memorable Quotes

Yeah, I just saw the links in another thread. I should have investigated more before going mental. I'm on a modem, so it was tough streaming it, but I got through a bit of it before switching it off. I don't quite like it. Lyra sounds like Malfoy in the way she spits out each line, and Asriel sounds too mechanical -- like he's really reading the lines instead of feeling them. Of course they couldn't sound like they do in my head ... so maybe I'm just not a radio-play person. This doesn't bode well for any movies, though.
There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious—makes you so sick at heart—that you can't take part. You can't even passively take part. And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all

i agree about Asriel actually although generally i thought it was really good. What I'm wondering is how are they going to do Mary and the mulefa when they get to it? Don't know if anyone's posted this yet but I thought it was so funny i made it my signature:
Does it matter if it's self-raising?

Did you notice that was an extremely old thread? Please read the Ten Commandments (they are posted everywhere).
Why are you everywhere? And never doing things right?
Anyhow, again: read the commandments (link in the Newbie forum), post sensible posts in English and don't be bumping extremely old threads.

*LOL* These are great! I'll have to find a way to listen to these after I'm done with the audiobooks... (Yes, I admit it. I'm addicted to HDM.)

The radio play is available fairly cheap most places. The library might have it if you look. I wouldn't keep your hopes too high however, the quality of the plays is, frankly, poor, to say the least. I gave up half way through TSK, feeling that life was too short to listen to such rubbish. You might feel different of course...
If you can't find it anywhere, and you turn out to be a good and nice and regular poster, then I might consider putting my copies on MP3 CD or DVD for you...

A classic example of rules for the sake of rules.Did you notice that was an extremely old thread? Please read the Ten Commandments .......don't be bumping extremely old threads.
This is the kind of thread which people should be free to add to at any time, as long as they do not repeat something already quoted.

Of course I'll feel different! The radio plays - TSK specifically - were my first exposure to HDM and the main reason why I went and bought the set and read it four times in the ensuing nine months.The radio play is available fairly cheap most places.

Really? I quite enjoyed the plays but in the same way I enjoy pretty much anything connected with a thing I like, even if it's bad, or even derogatory. That's why I can enjoy even bad adaptations - the original's there for me to enjoy, the adaptation is just like listening to/watching something a bit similar. Or something.
But anayway, I do remember feeling that no one who didn;t already like HDM could possibly think much of them from the radio plays. I imagined R4 listeners raising their eyebrows at the apparent low quality of this story that had become so popular. I imagined myself hearing them uninitiated and think, 'But they're no better than Harry Potter!'.
Maybe they were better than I thought. In any case, well done for seeing past the worse elements of the plays...

Re: Radio Play: Memorable Quotes
listening to books is like braille reading music. just a terrible, complete loss

Re: Radio Play: Memorable Quotes
you haven't heard the audiobooks narrated by pullman then alex. listening to a book is the same as listening to a story being read...

Re: Radio Play: Memorable Quotes
Sorry to post in an old topic. Just listened to TAS radio play, it was comedy gold.
Lee Scoresby‘s ghost: It’s good to do a bit of hand to hand combat. Even if we’re both lacking hands. Yeeehaw!
Mary: My treeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! *crash*
Mary: Can you see Dust?
Serafina: No. Until the wars began I’d never even heard of it.
Mary: I made an amber spyglass!
Lyra: Pan are you fixed now? Is this what you will always be?
Pan: Yes. I’m a pine martin!
No Name: YOU are ALIEEEEEEEEVE?
No Name: YOU’RE. OFFERING. TO. TELL. ME. A. STORYEEEEEEEEEEE? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
