This is the full version of the third episode of the BBC Radio 4 drama series Hold Back the Night. If you are interested only in the scenes in which Rachael appears, please download the smaller extract version instead. The extract version contains only Rachael's scenes.
I'm very sorry for not updating earlier in the week, after the first episode of Hold Back the Night aired. We've been very busy with lots of home renovations at the moment (we're having a new kitchen put in!) so things have been a bit hectic.
For those of you who don't know, Hold Back the Night is a new radio drama series in which Rachael plays the roles of two twins, Emma and Lucy Bonham. One of them appears to be the good twin, and the other is a runaway. We've only heard her as Emma (the good twin) so far, but I'm sure Lucy will pop up at some point once the main character, a private detective, manages to track her down!
I'm not quite sure what to make of the series yet. It does seem a bit cheesy and the script is a bit strange (it actually kind of reminds me of a school play!) but I'll definitely give it a chance. 
It's amusing to think of her playing a pair of teenage twins, but I suppose it doesn't matter very much when it's on the radio!
Anyway! I've uploaded two different files: one is the full episode, and the other is an extract of the scene in which Rachael speaks. She was in this episode for only three or four minutes, as Emma Bonham. Please download the full episode only if you're actually interested in listening to it all, because it is a lot bigger than the extract which features just Rachael. (The full episode is half an hour long.)
I'm interested to know what people make of it, so please comment with your thoughts after listening.

Ex-cop and now private eye Billy Rucker is asked by Mrs Bonham, a rather forbidding business woman, to find her runaway teenage daughter, Lucy. What starts out as just a routine search in the heat of a London summer soon becomes more than just a murder inquiry, when Billy begins to suspect a horrific scam that involves drug abuse and the rapes of other young teenage girls just like Lucy. Curiously, Lucy herself wasn't a victim and Billy has a surprising killer to uncover. Hold Back The Night enters a nightmare world in the seamy underbelly of London — a world which is every parent's worst nightmare of what their daughters might get caught up in around the clubbing scene of King's Cross.

Five favourite things. The Archers, Shakespeare, Shirley Henderson, football and Silk Cut. I’m a smoker, what can I say?
Look forward to the US release of both films. …
