Our Mysterious Listener Todd has directed us to the more contemporary areas of the Listener Library, recommending “Tissue Memory” from the BBC’s Fear on Four! Thanks, Todd! This story, written by Judy Upton, features a young woman named Anna who begins to have visions of another life after receiving a donor heart. These visions seem to connect her with the fate of the heart’s former owner. Will Anna reject her own heart? Who is the real owner of this heart? What is the ideal diet to prepare for a heart transplant? Listen for yourself and find out! Then vote and let us know what you think!

This one was a difficult listen, but for different reasons than the omnipresent heartbeat. I could…not…ABIDE…the actress’s…BREATHLESS…delivery…of…EVERY…line!!!
In addition, I simply couldn’t get past the premise. The funny thing is that I’m perfectly willing to accept—as fantasy—the idea of “tissue memory.” That’s every old movie about a transplant patient who receives a killer’s hands. But when THE DOCTOR said “oh sure, this is a totally normal and scientifically accepted thing,” I was out. Time to get a better heart surgeon.
The middle bored me a bit. I knew where it was going (although it turns out I didn’t) and just plod plod plod until I got to the twist.
