On it. Radio Broadcast, BBC Radio 4 (Afternoon Drama). Woolyback Productions. First Broadcast on Friday 28th October 2011, Repeated Tuesday 19th February 2013
‘On it’ is an original exploration of the use of the audio-only dramatic medium to induce the listener to reflect; in this case on well-worn issues that have become so imbued in society that we barely feel the shock of the tragedy and impact that drug addiction can have on young people and their families. The collaboration between producer Sally Harrison and writer Tony Pitts was based on research interviews conducted with the family that this true story is based on - and was produced as an accurate, sensitively dramatised account, of how an entire family and its dynamics can be impacted by fatal drug addiction.
