Also: This was not only the best (and most faithful) adaptation of “The Signal-Man” so far, it may also be the most faithful adaptation of any Dickens story I’ve ever encountered. I really enjoyed this.

Truth be told, for the past few years, I haven’t been looking forward to your annual Signal-Man fest. It’s started to feel kind of tedious listening to yet another adaptation, most of them not particularly good. (I really liked your first one with Sarah Churchill, but it went downhill after that.) Going into this one, I really wasn’t expecting it to be very good, but I thought that Nightfall might at least do something crazy with it that would make it a change from the others. But I was not expecting what they did do, which was to make an extremely faithful adaptation and perform it extremely well. I’m glad I listened.

You want us to write our own fan-fiction adaptations?! Can it involve the Batman villain The Signalman?

I enjoy the bizarreness of Nightfall, but this was a straight up really good adaptation. I think I liked that the narrator was coming back out of concern and compassion as opposed to being a writer coming back for a story. That, to me, adds a layer of empathy to the character that some other versions were missing.
That being said, if you guys performed a version of this that was closer to what one would expect from Nightfall, that would be amazing as well.
Thanks for doing this. I look forward to my annual Signal-Man episode. sigNAL-man?
Keep up the good work.
