The award-winning audio drama The Minister of Chance is being remixed and remastered, and will be re-released as a free podcast in weekly episodes from Monday 12th October 2020

The Minister of Chance is a wildly exciting fantasy series featuring an all-star cast including Jenny Agutter; Philip Glenister; Sylvester McCoy; Paul McGann and the late, great Paul Darrow. It is an audio movie, an immersive story told with pioneering sound effects and a full orchestral score.

In a world far from our own, Ambassador Durian of Sezuan (Paul McGann) is dispatched on a peace mission to the primitive island nation of Tanto, but things take a turn for the very, very sinister. In a nearby Inn, a mysterious stranger (Julian Wadham as the titular Minister) appears, then disappears through a miraculous portal in the forest (he “knows the formula for doors”). The inquisitive teenage barmaid, Kitty (Lauren Crace) follows him, with no shoes and only her superhuman strength to keep her company. Another world awaits, where they will be forced into an alliance to save the Universe, and beyond.

The Minister of Chance is available weekly in 10 minute episodes from Monday 12th October 2020 on most podcast platforms. Watch it with your ears!
