Citation by the Jury
"This skilful production uses careful, subjective perspective and editing to pull the listener into the first episode. 

Its cinematic form and style and clever script delivered the scary story to an exciting cliff -hanger and made the jury and all listeners want to hear more.

A compelling example of its genre.

This fine piece of radio craftsmanship is to be admired as a masterly thriller  - which also considers the responsibility of the media in society."
