Science-fiction drama by Kim Newman, set in the near future.
Busy, successful couple Angela and Barty Flitcroft want a child but do not have the time to look after it. The solution is a genetically-enhanced daughter, Joy, birthed by a surrogate mother and reared to adulthood in a cryogenic chamber.
Joy experiences brief moments 'out of the machine', and as time passes each opening brings shocks and surprises as her parents and their society undergo incredible changes. And for Joy, stuffed with education by the machine but denied everyday experiences, life is not just a strange new country, but a frightening, confusing and often funny one, too.

You threw me with the opening line of the description.
"Sci-fi Radio" is a group. I thought at first that they had re-done the BBC adaptation of this work.
Alas, not so. :>(
This was an Afternoon Drama back in 2008. I was still encoding at 64k then to save (still expensive) disk space.

Darn, I was hoping for a better encode. Oh well, Thanks friend. --------------- R
