Great stories

Gripping stories that are really interesting. The only drawback is that the sound effects in between sections are long and tedious, the pitch of them makes it really uncomfortable to listen to on headphones.

I love this!

I can’t get enough of these strange tales. Second time listening through to them now. Original and bizarre.

Every one's a critic 😇 ,

Nah

Dear BBC this needs an equal amount of male writers and characters in line with the equality rules you keep preaching to the masses about. If you don’t represent a group due to your bias don’t be surprised if that group doesn’t listen. The quicker license fee payers in the UK get rid of you the better the world will be.
