T.H. White - The Once and Future King (BBC 2014) - Science Fiction & Fantasy

This is a wonderful six part adaptation of the classic, recoded by me at 256/44

The Once and Future king
T.H. White (adapted by Brian Sibley)
2014

The radio debut of all five books of The Once and Future King in an adaptation by the award-winning dramatist, Brian Sibley, whose credits include dramatisations of The Lord of The Rings trilogy, Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast novels and most recently, Ray Bradbury's The Illustrated Man.

White's imagining of Arthur's childhood in The Sword in The Stone, his use of myth to deliver a powerful anti-war message and the humanity of his depiction of doomed love marks this cycle of novels as one of the defining works of 20th century fantasy fiction.

White uses the Arthurian legends to explore epic themes of national identity, democracy and the virtues of right over might.

  Then download to a computer, open the archive and send the result to your phone via DLNA or direct transfer.
- Evan > Anson (Bob) Roberts August 31, 2015 at 11:37am
  
  Ill give that a shot.
- Anson (Bob) Roberts > Evan August 31, 2015 at 11:45pm
  
  I do it all the time. I use only Android phones.
- Evan > Anson (Bob) Roberts August 31, 2015 at 11:46pm
  
  What extractor do you use?
- Anson (Bob) Roberts > Evan September 1, 2015 at 5:45am
  
  I use WinRAR on my PC and then send the files to my phones and tablets.

It's odd but every time I try to download this on my phone it gives me a .bin file I can't open instead of the .rar
- Anson (Bob) Roberts > Evan August 30, 2015 at 2:23pm
  
  which OS?
  
  Does your phone recognize RAR files? They are a binary type, so if you don't have an extractor, they will show as "bin" files.

  Mine is android
- Anson (Bob) Roberts > Evan August 30, 2015 at 10:59pm
  
  Excellent choice. :>) But ...
  
  Do you have a RAR extractor app on the phone? If not, RAR files will show up as binaries or "bin" files
