About this listen

The first four series of the original BBC Radio 4 fantastical drama series set in a world almost, but not quite, like our own.

Paul Hilton stars as William Palmer, the immortal, reluctant and unthanked hero protecting mankind from an enemy they resist believing in: the Grey Folk.

Thrilling, dark and contemporary, the dramas are set in a recognisable present day but one haunted by the folktales of the British Isles: drowned villages, changeling children, werewolves and unruly nature spirits.

Uniquely enchanting

There’s nothing quite like PILGRIM; the tale of a cursed immortal forced to walk between the worlds of magic and men. That summary makes it sound like a dozen other urban fantasy stories, but the reality is very different. PILGRIM draws from the deep well of British folklore and mythology, filling its tale with characters simultaneously fantastical and believable. PILGRIM is beautifully written, cast, performed and produced, one of the masterpieces of BBC radio drama.

Very highly recommended.

One of my favorites

As a dedicated insomniac I am always on the look out for decent audio books.

This really does fit the bill.

Not too complex, but engaging enough and easy to pick up where you left off.

I must say that over time I have developed a real affection for the characters and the cast who do a wonderful job of bringing the books to life.

See Paul Hilton in the flesh in the magnificent Lady MacBeth opposite Florence Pugh.

great production

this was a joy. I loved the characters and the plot. Not so convoluted that I had to concentrate but interesting enough to capture the imagination. thoroughly enjoyable.

Weird and wonderful

Really compelling drama, not at all in my usual line - but the the stories mix folklore and the modern world in such an extraordinary and convincing way. Main actor Paul Hilton is entirely convincing, and all of the voices are are well chosen for their characterization. I think this has been well directed to get the best out of an excellent cast, and it is a fine example of a script which lends itself far better to audio drama than it woukd to film, as it allows the listener's imagination to populate the space.

Best Radio Series

I remember this when t was one, and it really was un-missable, having all the stories (if you buy them all is just great) is great binge listening.

Love this series.

Wonderful stories, poetic dialogue. Love the modern fairy fantasy. The central performance especially (Pilgrim) is great.
