The Time Being

Series 5

Episode 1: Photo Finish

Duration: 15 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 Extra

The latest season of The Time Being brings another showcase for new voices, none of whom have been previously broadcast. Previous series have brought new talent to a wider audience and provided a stepping stone for writers who have since gone on to enjoy further success both on radio and in print, such as Tania Hershman, Heidi Amsinck, Sally Hinchcliffe and Submarine author and National Short Story judge Joe Dunthorne.

Photo Finish written by Louise Lee.

Terri discovered her talent for running when she was chased by her mother's angry boyfriend. Fifteen years later it's the Olympic marathon. Terri is tipped for gold, but she will have to overcome her rivals: voluptuous World No. 1 Jana de Groot and the surgically modified Nadine Uberhang.

Louise Lee had a proper job once but gave it all up to become a private investigator. A current Birkbeck MA student in Creative Writing, she is busy writing her first novel, The Last Honeytrap, based on her own experiences in the seedy and often comical world of entrapment.
