Finding the perfect backdrop for television and film can be no mean
feat especially if your brief is to find an alien planet within 25
miles of the BBC television studios. Yet Matthew Sweet discovers that
the makers of Blake's 7 and Dr Who did manage to find alien worlds in
the Home Counties when he visits Betchworth Quarry in Surrey.

The Mystery of Edwin Drood
Written in 1870, Dickens's last novel has at its heart an ill-fated
engagement and a suspected murder, the victim of which has
disappeared. Dickens died before completing the story, leaving the
mystery unsolved and encouraging successive generations of readers to
turn detective. Starring Ian Holm, Gareth Thomas, Susan Sheridan and
the late Mary Wimbush, The Mystery of Edwin Drood was dramatised by
David Buck and produced by Gordon House for the World Service in 1990.
Monday to Friday at 10am, 9pm and 2am.
