Darkside
Darkside - a radio play by Tom Stoppard, based on Dark Side of the Moon (forty years old - wow), to be broadcast soon.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

Re: Darkside
Darkside was rather good - an interesting 'thought experiment'.
Still available on the BBC iPlayer (for another day or so, anyway).

Re: Darkside
Woohoo! I just managed to download this using the neat little Linux tool
To download the stream, I used:
That gave me a listing of shows with Darkside listed as the last entry
So then all I had to do was:
Windows users can get a Win version of it here:
http://linuxcentre.net/new-and-improved ... et_iplayer
For Mac OSX:
http://squarepenguin.co.uk/guides/mac-o ... all-guide/
Basic usage instructions here:

A script-builder for those allergic to the command line (Win only, I think):
http://beebotron.org/helper_get_iplayer.php
get_iplayer
. Unlike the official BBC iPlayer, it doesn't delete saved programs from your hard drive after 30 days. It works for TV programs as well.To download the stream, I used:
Code: Select all
get_iplayer "Darkside" --type=radio
Code: Select all
Matches:
10937: radio, Darkside - 26/08/2013, BBC Radio 2, Drama,Popular,Radio
Code: Select all
get_iplayer --get 10937

Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied

Re: Darkside
Tried this out just now. Unfortunately I just get Access Denied messages when I try to run it. Uninstalled.Diziet Sma wrote:Windows users can get a Win version of it here:

Re: Darkside
I suspect you may have clicked on one of the links near the top of the page, that begins with 'BBC'.JazHaz wrote:Unfortunately I just get Access Denied messages when I try to run it. Uninstalled.
You need to scroll down to the 'Download' section where you'll see this link:
http://www.infradead.org/get_iplayer_wi ... latest.exe
If it was the
get_iplayer_setup_latest.exe
file that you downloaded, this page might help solve the problem.http://squarepenguin.co.uk/forums/topic ... o-install/

, and it seemed to install fine, except when I tried to run it, the command line windows just showed "Access Denied" in them. I run in administrator mode all the time, so I know I have the privileges fine. I've never seen any Access Denied messages before.- Diziet Sma

Re: Darkside
Hmm.. I just tested this on an XP Virtual machine, and it worked fine.. except that I notice the PID has changed from 10937 to 10935, I presume as a result of other content being dropped after it reached the usual 1 week period.
You could always give the official BBC iPlayer a shot..
