If you’ve ever felt inspired by Radio 7 to create your own storylines, here’s your chance to have some broadcast.
Award-winning author Robert Shearman has written the first part of a drama – and we want you to send us your plots for the remaining episodes. Over thirteen weeks you can help Robert unfold an exciting tale.
Chain Gang is part of a trial for a limited number of radio series which are being made available with series catch-up. Series catch-up extends the availability window for individual episodes beyond the usual seven days after their transmission, allowing you the chance to listen to an entire series until a week after the final episode is broadcast.
As part of the trial we are looking for people to take part in audience research about series catch-up for radio programmes. The link below will take you to an externally hosted survey managed by an independent research agency. This research is for BBC use only. If you choose to provide contact details these will be passed to an independent market research agency for the use in BBC research only. Your personal information will be treated in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998. Please visit the BBC's Privacy & Cookies Policy [www.bbc.co.uk/privacy] for more information.
You're invited to the location recording of the dramatic conclusion of our epic tale. Lend your voices to the episode, meet Robert Shearman and the cast, and hear how other Chain Gangers might have ended the story.
