The Rocky Horror Radio Show

Available for over a year

Rocky is a rarity, a cult that went mainstream and continues to play around the world. Now in The Rocky Horror Radio Show, Antonia Quirke traces Rocky's origins and figures out the secrets behind its success. You'll hear from Rocky devotees in Cardiff and London, new interviews from original cast members like Paddy O'Hagan, plus archive of Rocky creator, Richard O'Brien, and the magnetic evil Doctor Frank n Furter himself. "Tim Curry was OUTRAGEOUSLY charismatic, a rather devastating mixture of Marc Bolan and Tom Stoppard, with a touch of Bob Dylan on the cover of Hard Rain. And when Curry comes down in that lift on screen – it’s truly one of the great movie entrances of all time, the confidence is almost SHOCKING, every flick of his curls hilarious. There's a lovely moment in the backstage footage where even the gaffers and sparks are tapping their feet. One of them throws his head back and laughs." There are further contributions from Jackie Clune, Steve Punt and Dom Joly - all of whom have played The Narrator; a hilarious John Peel reviewing the video release; Susan Sarandon wondering why all the filming she does in the UK is so perverted and Meatloaf explaining why he immediately wanted to run away. Presented by Antonia Quirke and produced in Bristol by Miles Warde
