Night Terrace
Night Terrace is a scripted science fiction audio comedy produced by Splendid Chaps Productions. Originally released as a paid digital download in 2014, the first two seasons have been broadcast on BBC Radio 4 Extra since 2019. The show stars Jackie Woodburne as Dr Anastasia Black, a "science hero" whose retirement from the mysterious "D.E.P.A.R.T.M.E.N.T." is cut short when her Melbourne terrace house unexpectedly starts to travel through space and time. She is joined by student and door-to-door electricity plan salesman Eddie Jones (Ben McKenzie) and, later, fellow ex-D.E.P.A.R.T.M.E.N.T. agent Susan Denholm (Petra Elliott). The  first season won the Convenor's Award for Excellence at the 2014 Aurealis Awards. Crowdfunding. Each season so far has been primarily funded through Kickstarter campaigns. Season 1 met its base funding target plus two stretch goals which allowed The Making of Night Terrace documentary and The Adventures of Eddie mini-series to be created. Season 2 met its base funding target plus one stretch goal, which allowed a Live episode to be created where backers and friends of the production became part of the episode as the live audience. Season 3 met its base funding target plus two stretch  goals which allow The Night Terrace Summer Special (a digital book collection of stories, trivia and puzzles in the style of TV annuals and comic books) and a mini-series revealing the untold adventures of Sue to be made. Companion Podcast. To accompany the broadcast of Night Terrace on BBC Radio 4 Extra Vaya Pashos, of the Neighbours recap podcast "Neighbuzz", hosted a companion podcast (alongside Woodburne the show has had past and present Neighbours stars in guest roles).
