Avebury submitted by creators : Trying out a new camera on a beautiful night at Avebury. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Prepare yourselves for this: "These Stones can change people and they’re calling to you. Are you scared yet? Do you feel the shiver?
"Smash your speakers. Destroy your headphones. Whatever you do, don’t listen... The world depends on it."
The new Podcast stars Reece Shearsmith, India Brown (Worzel Gummidge) and Steve Oram (Sightseers)

Episode 1
Mia Brake and her archaeometrist father Adam move to Milbury, a village framed by an ancient stone circle.

But all is not right in Milbury. The stones emit a strange power. The villagers are eerily happy, greeting each other with the unnerving phrase "Happy Day!" And at the village school the other children can solve incredibly complex mathematical problems.

As one-by-one her friends join the Happy People, Mia must uncover the secret of the stones.

Children of the Stones is a new adaptation of the cult 1977 television series - described by comedian Stewart Lee as 'the scariest programme ever made for children.'

Producer/director: Simon Barnard
Writers: AK Benedict and Guy Adams, based upon the television serial by Jeremy Burnham and Trevor Ray.
Sound Designer: Richard Fox
Music: Edwin Sykes
A Bafflegab Production for BBC Radio 4

All episodes are now available, including a download option. Listen here if you dare!

The release includes a short feature for the BBC by yours truly, Andy B: "Eight extraordinary facts about stone circles" (and other megalithic sites)
