Becky and Jill have time-traveled back to the year when Ziggy Stardust hung up his platforms and Sergeant Howie kept his inevitable date with The Wicker Man, to investigate Pamela Sykes' memorably unsettling novel COME BACK LUCY (1973).
In 1978, an award-winning TV show based on the book came out, and it has just been released on DVD. We recorded a special episode of our podcast to appear as a special feature, and here you can hear a snippet of that chat.
The DVD of Come Back Lucy (1978) is on sale now https://networkonair.com/popular-products/3469-come-back-lucy-the-complete-series
