This is for Everyone - BBC Radio Drama - listened 19.3.24 (4/5)
BBC Radio Drama depicting the 30 year history of the internet in the lives of a South London family. The title is the famous quote from Tim Berners-Lee when he first established the world wide web in CERN. In August 1991, Julie and Vic have a child, Ben, just as the first website goes live. As Ben grows, the role of the internet in their lives evolves. We see it go from a purely informational source, extra-marital risks through "Friends Reunited", conspiracy theories on Facebook and elsewhere, the role of Zoom during the pandemic, cyber-blackmail, and so on. Well done, clever, and very entertaining. Claudie Blakley, Dana Haqjoo, Astrid le Fleming, Katie Redford, Bertie Creswell, Luke Nunn, and Peter Marinker. With the voices of Josh Bryant-Jones, Jessica Enemokwu, Laura Power, Maxim Reston. Written by Matthew Broughton. Directed by Abigail le Fleming. First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on 9 March 2024.
