Introduction

"Titus Groan" was the first book of Mervyn Peake's series of "Gormenghast" novels. Sting played "Steerpike" in two 1984 BBC Radio 4 audio dramas based on these novels. "Titus Groan" was broadcast on 1984-12-10, with Gormenghast to follow on 1984-12-17. Both 90 minute plays would eventually be released in 1990 as the two cassette BBC release Titus Groan And Gormenghast, and again in 2000.

A combined 160 minute version titled "Titus Groan of Gormenghast" was broadcast on 1992-12-25. BBC 7 repeated the original versions on 2003-09-21 and 2003-09-28.
