Christopher Lee (1941-2021) was a British writer, historian and broadcaster, best known for writing the BBC radio documentary series This Sceptred Isle.

Lee's career began when, in his twenties, he re-started his education, reading history at London University, after previously being expelled from school and running away to sea in an old tramp steamer. He later joined the BBC as a defence and foreign affairs correspondent and was posted to Moscow and the Middle East. Leaving his career in journalism for academia, Lee was the first Quatercentenary Fellow in Contemporary History and Gomes Lecturer at Emmanuel College, Cambridge. He went on to research the history of ideas at Birkbeck College, University of London.

Lee is the originator and writer of the BBC Radio 4 trilogy This Sceptred Isle, which recounts the history of Britain and the British Empire from the Romans to the 20th century. His recent books include the three accompanying volumes of This Sceptred Isle, the autobiographic Eight Bells and Top Masts, which tells the story of his time as a deck boy and his circumnavigation of the globe, his The Bath Detective thriller trilogy, Monarchy, Past, present... and future? and Viceroys: The Creation of the British, illustrated by his wife.

He is also the writer of more than 100 Radio 4 plays and series including The House, starring Timothy West, Julian Glover and Isla Blair, Colvil & Soames, starring Christopher Benjamin and Amanda Redman, Our Brave Boys, starring Martin Jarvis and Fiona Shaw, and the Los Angeles production of his The Trial of Walter Raleigh, which Rosalind Ayres produced with Michael York in the title role. His play A Pattern in Shrouds was broadcast on Radio 4 in the summer of 2009 and deals with the consequences of the assassination of the Queen's uncle, Lord Mountbatten in 1979. In 2013 the BBC also ran his play Air Force One, which questioned the events during the 90 minutes between the assassination of President Kennedy and swearing in of Lyndon B Johnson aboard the presidential plane.

Pressestimmen

Nobody anticipated the impact the BBC's 2013 adaptation of Neil Gaiman's cult novel by the same name would have... the production was a smash hit with Gaiman fans and non-fans alike, propelling the audio play into the public eye and showing just how exciting the form can be. The Guardian

Richard kümmert sich um eine verletzte Frau auf der Straße und gerät dadurch in Kontakt mit ihrer Welt. Neben dem normalen London, dem "London Above", gibt es ein "London Below", wo fantastische Wesen leben. Für Richard beginnt ein aufregendes Abenteuer. Die Idee ist nicht neu, aber immer wieder faszinierend: Wie bei Alice im Wunderland oder Harry Potter gibt es einen Weg in eine Parallelwelt. Und da wir Leser (bzw. in diesem Fall Hörer) nur unsere eigene Welt kennen, verbindet uns das mit dem Protagonisten. Wir leiden mit ihm, wenn sein Leben aus den Fugen gerät, und trotz aller Gefahren können wir nicht widerstehen, tiefer in diese Welt einzutauchen. Die Hörspielfassung von Neil Gaimans Neverwhere wurde mit bekannten Schauspielern, wie Christopher Lee oder Benedict Cumberbatch, besetzt. Ihren Stimmen zu lauschen, ist eine wahre Wonne. Gleichzeitig sorgen die Hintergrundgeräusche für eine authentische Atmosphäre. Kenner der Buchvorlage mögen Teile vermissen, mir fehlte als Nur-Hörer nichts für das Verständnis. Vielmehr ließ ich mich von diesem Hörerlebnis vollends einfangen und begeistern.
