  • Before you listen to this BBC podcast, I'd like to tell you about something else you might enjoy.

  • It's a great privilege because I get to unearth stories people love.

  • You should see the books and scripts covering my floor from new talent and established writers as well as classics.

  • The BBC has such a rich history of making great audio drama.

  • We're still the largest producer in the world, and the popularity of podcasts means we can share what we do with even more people.

  • So if you like to lose yourself in a gripping audio drama or book, find your next listen on BBC sounds.

  • Capcom.

  • We're gopher landing.

  • Tranquility base here.

  • The eagle has landed.

  • We remember the first moon landing as one of the greatest triumphs.

  • But it almost didn't happen.

  • Detention in mission control was through the roof.

  • Communications to the spacecraft kept breaking down.

  • We can't communicate to them.
