The Chrysalids Episode 2 of 2
Duration: 58 minutes
First broadcast: Sunday 05 August 2012

Genetic mutation has devastated the world. Any deviation is seen as the work of the devil, ruthlessly hunted out and destroyed. David Strorm is one of a group of young people who can communicate by transferring thought-shapes. In God fearing, law abiding Waknuk, David and his friends would be classed as Mutants. Will David be forced to flee to the Fringes, the lawless territory inhabited by mutants or risk discovery?

John Wyndham's post-apocalyptic science fiction classic dramatised by Jane Rogers.

Directed by Nadia Molinari

Written in 1955 Wyndham's novel explores the dangers inherent in discrimination and the threats posed by religious fundamentalism. The 'Old People' who caused the apocalypse are depressingly like us: ' They were shut off by different languages and different beliefs. They created vast problems then buried their heads in the sands of idle faith.' The children of the future (the Chrysalids) are able to 'think-together' and so can rise above the selfish violence and conflicting religions of the past. Wyndham's story of a group of persecuted teenagers is more timely than ever in our post-Fukushima, war-riven, genetically engineered and religiously divided world. Jane Rogers is a playwright and novelist, her latest novel The Testament of Jessie Lamb won the Arthur C Clarke Award this year.

  • Thank you very much

  • Many thanks  for the Uploads Star Eater!

  • Size limit is 50 mb for my free account - so I split everything above
    • Thank You, I didn't know that.  I have a premium acct.  They must have done that after I went from free to premium.  Try Skydrive, you might like that also for the files above 50 meg.  It is faster and I think will take up to 200 meg per file.  -------------------------------------------------------------  R

    • OK thanks. Will give it a go.

  • Thank You for this.  I have a stupid question.  Why do you split everything?  There really is no need to.  Their size limit at ge.tt is more than 99% of audio files we post.  --------------------------  R

  • Uploading at the moment in 4 parts. Links above...

  • Hmmm - trouble uploading this one. Doesn't seem to like it.

    Any suggestions?

  • "These files are no longer available as the owner has removed them."

  • I usually try to start a download when I am using ge.tt or any other.  It saves a lot of clutter on the post page..  -----------------------------------------  R
