About this listen
The award-winning His Dark Materials trilogy is a breathtaking epic adventure spanning a multitude of worlds. Northern Lights, the opening installment, sees Lyra and her shape-changing daemon embark on a dangerous quest.
In Oxford, Lyra learns that children are being kidnapped by the mysterious Gobblers. When her friend Roger vanishes she determines to find him, and is given a powerful alethiometer which can reveal the truth in all things. After discovering that the adults around her are not what they seem, Lyra and Pantalaimon join forces with a band of gyptians. Travelling north they encounter witch-queens and armoured bears, before being captured and taken to Bolvanger, where children are being used in terrible and secret experiments.
Gripping, full of suspense and often funny, this BBC Radio 4 dramatisation has an all-star cast including Terence Stamp, Emma Fielding, Bill Paterson, Kenneth Cranham, and Ray Fearon.
©2003 BBC Studios Distribution Ltd (P)2003 BBC Studios Distribution LtdIt's still a marvel, and I didn't mind my time with it, but I'd forgotten just how much of a children's book it is. The whole world revolves around Lyra, and everything she tries seems to work out. In some ways it's the kind of story a child might tell - "I went here, and there were mean people doing evil things, but I said this and they believed me"
I'm glad to have revisited it, but it's not quite what I remembered from all those years ago.
Better for kids than grown-ups

Originally aired on the BBC this has a great cast very well casted into their roles that play a (much) shortened version of the book. Ever since I first heard it on the radio I fell in love with this dramatisation and have not been able to look back.
Everything about this is good if not great. Very managable timing. Superb acting and transfer from the book. Do get.
A very memorable drama
