Iain Banks Pleased With Radio Adaptation Script

Via a post by Paul Cornell's, which highlights a load of stuff he's doing he mentions...

Iain Banks has now taken a look at the recording script of my BBC Radio 4 adaptation of his novella ‘The State of the Art’ and pronounces himself pleased. Any awfulness, of course, remains my own, and is not his responsibility. We’re now into the exciting process of casting, news of which I shall share with you when I can, and will be recording in a few weeks, for broadcast early next year.

Cool. I'm pretty excited about that. I wonder whether to read it again first, it's been a while, or maybe having forgot the details might be a nice way to hear the radio version?

Also in that post, Paul mentions an interview with Grant Morrison (who I still think of as "that guy from 2000AD who wrote Zenith" because I'm so out of touch with comics), where he talks about Doctor Who; interesting summation of the first three series.
