This year is the 30th anniversary of my production INDEPENDENCE DAY UK on BBC Radio 1. With the success of our DC and Marvel “Audio Movies”, 20th Century Fox asked if I’d make a “British version of the upcoming Roland Emmerich & Dean Devlin movie”, and R1 Controller Matthew Bannister was up for it.

The cover design of the original INDEPENDENCE DAY UK audio cassette release, basically the US movie poster artwork of a huge spaceship filling the sky over New York City. (Yes, it should ahve been London but we were not allowed to change the artwork)
