PAPERBACK HELL
FORBIDDEN FIRE
BY ANONYMOUS
1. ANNOUNCER A chance to experience a young woman’s sexual
awakening now as we begin our adaptation of
Forbidden Fire, the supposedly true-life confessions of
a 21-year-old virgin, read by the author Anonymous.
Forbidden Fire has been specially adapted for Radio 4
and so contains sex scenes that some listeners may
find strangely disappointing.
2. GRAMS EROTICA MUSIC
3. ANONYMOUS (WHO IS A MAN) I am a beautiful 21-year-old woman.
As you’re listening to this – perhaps at home or more
likely in the single room of a B&B - you’re on a
business trip, the pay-per-view is on the fritz, whatever
– please bear in mind that I am a real 21-year-old
woman and all the amazing erotic adventures I’m about
to describe actually happened. To me. A real woman.
I’m dirty and I love it and I’m certainly not a man in my
fifties who also writes science fiction. (CLEARS
THROAT) It all began one night, while I was working
late…

FX TYPING (UNDER) 6028 / 97
  3. DAVID Oh, Jane, are you still here?
  4. JANE Yes, David.
  1. ANONYMOUS I said, lustily to David, my boss. Ever since I’d joinedthe publishing company where I work, I’d secretly fancied him. David was handsome and in his fifties,which I, as a woman, think is a really good age. It’s when men are at their physical peak.
  2. DAVID If you carry on like this, you’ll end up sleeping on thedesk.
  3. ANONYMOUS Laughed David. I laughed too, allowing my skirt to ride up over my shoulders.
  4. DAVID Whoa!
  5. ANONYMOUS I mean knees, over my knees. Sorry, I was getting carried away.
  6. JANE I’m just reading that science fiction manuscript that wassent in.
  7. DAVID And?
  8. JANE It’s really good. It’s actually proper literature. I don’tknow why there’s such a stigma attached to science fiction.
  9. DAVID I agree - it can give very interesting insights into ourown society. In a way, science fiction writers today are what Henry James was to the Victorians. But Jane, I’dlike you to have a look at this.
  1. ANONYMOUS I decided the random approach wasn’t working andbegan again, reading several sentences in order. It was hot stuff but really well written. The author was a 21-year-old girl, just like me,
  2. MALE AUTHOR Maria looked longingly at the bandit leader’s protruding maleness. His muscles rippled like swarthy own-brandice cream as he took her by her long, Mexican hair and pulled her on to his throbbing…
  3. JANE Wow! That really is very well written erotica.
  4. DAVID Look, Jane, I feel a bit awkward saying this, but…
  5. JANE You want to smear me in butter and then slowly lick it off?
  6. DAVID No…
  7. JANE Margarine?
  8. DAVID No.
  9. JANE Lard?
  10. DAVID No.
  11. JANE I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter?
  1. DAVID No. Look, the company is thinking of publishing this book but before we do, we want to find out what kind ofpeople would buy it. I’ve got a hunch it’s not just pervy old men in raincoats – and when I say old I mean olderthan fifties. Fifties isn’t old…
  2. JANE No, no it isn’t.
  3. DAVID Exactly. I suspect that erotic fiction is read by a wholerange of people because it’s actually just literature and is easily as good as Andy McNabb or… Ben Elton.
  4. JANE So, David, what do you want me to do?
  5. DAVID Read as many of these as you can. Research thesubject. And if that means going on a startling erotic odyssey of sexual awakening which opens your mindto a world of sensual pleasure in all its myriad forms then… that’s a plus. 6. FX BUSY LONDON STREET ECD 2 / 5 (OR TK 8)
  6. JANE Taxi! 8. FX TAXI PULLING UP, LUCY CD OR ECD 14 / 9
  7. TAXI DRIVER Where to, Miss?
  8. ANONYMOUS David’s words were still ringing in my ears. 11. DAVID DISTORT: ECHO Research the subject.
  9. JANE Take me to a bookshop.
  1. ANONYMOUS I approached the shop assistant behind the counter.She was probably about 21 like me and a woman like me too. She had long dark hair and tanned golden skinthe colour of breadcrumbs. I’d never had any lesbian feelings before but I couldn’t help running my gaze overher tightly fitting blouse, imagining myself unbuttoning it and pouring yoghurt over her ripe body, like she wassome sort of fancy muesli. It was strange, I’d never had those sorts of yearnings before. I don’t even really like yoghurt. It gives me mucous.
  2. JANE Sorry to bother you…
  3. SHOP ASSISTANT Oui, how may I help?
  4. JANE Wow. Are you French?
  5. SHOP ASSISTANT No, Belgian.
  6. JANE How romantic. Like Tintin or… dodgy mayonnaise…
  7. SHOP ASSISTANT Yes. How may I help you?
  8. JANE I feel embarrassed asking, but do you have an erotica section? I’m not a pervert.
  9. SHOP ASSISTANT There is nothing perverted about erotica. In Belgium,we study erotic novels in school.
  10. JANE Really?
  1. SHOP ASSISTANT Yes, I myself will often read erotica. I use it as a palette cleanser between Dan Browns.
  2. ANONYMOUS I felt like such a prude talking to this clearly massivelysexually liberated and deeply Belgian young woman. And, I couldn’t shake the stirrings of my Sapphiclonging for her. But I wasn’t a lesbian, was I? Maybe I was. Maybe all women are a bit. If they’d just go with it.
  3. SHOP ASSISTANT Here you are. This is the erotica section.
  4. JANE So many titles… Sinful Services … Dirty Sheets … Doctor Hot Stuff Sado-Masochism?… The Corrections – is that about
  5. SHOP ASSISTANT No, that’s Jonathan Franzen. Someone’s put it back in the wrong section.
  6. JANE Gosh. There’s something here for everyone. As long asthey like erotica.
  7. SHOP ASSISTANT Yes, it is proper literature. Why else would we keep itnext to the science fiction?
  8. JANE So it’s true – erotica isn’t just an unconvincing series of badly written sex scenes strung together across abanal plot that doesn’t even work as pornography because it is so badly written that it’s forced to useridiculous words like ‘orbs’ or ‘love-mounds’ because you can’t just keep repeating the word ‘breasts’?
  9. ANONYMOUS I noticed that the shop assistant’s ample orbs wereheaving and her cheeks were flushing an arousing red.
  1. JANE Emmanuelle, what a pretty name.
  2. SHOP ASSISTANT Thank you. My mother gave it to me. She was French,my father was Flemish.
  3. JANE Too much yoghurt?
  4. ANONYMOUS Her trembling hands reached for a bucket of ice cubesthat was helpfully but for no good reason on the side by the cash register. 5. FX ICE CUBES TAKEN FROM BUCKET. 6020 / 60
  5. ANONYMOUS As Emmanuelle seemed about to apply the icy icecubes to her insistent nipples, our secret lesbotic reverie was broken by a smooth male voice.
  6. ADAM Don’t mind me, ladies.
  7. SHOP ASSISTANT Oh! Someone is watching! How shaming, yet exciting!
  8. ANONYMOUS Our coitus interrupted, Emmanuelle hurried away in shame and excitement while I took in the man who haddisturbed us. He was tall and handsome, and in his fifties.
  9. JANE We weren’t doing anything wrong.
  10. ADAM You didn’t need to stop, I rather liked it. It was quitefitting - in front of my books.
  11. JANE Your books?
  1. ADAM Yes, my books that I wrote. I’m Adam Adamson. Thefirst name in erotic fiction.
  2. JANE You’re the best-seller?
  3. ADAM No, it’s more of an alphabetical thing. So, you like erotic stories?
  4. JANE Yes, I mean, I don’t know, I mean, yes… Oh it’s all got me so confused. It’s opened up a whole new world for me.
  5. ADAM Well, perhaps we could go back to my dungeon and talk about it.
  6. JANE Did you say ‘dungeon’?
  7. ADAM No, I said ‘house’. Come on, it’ll be fun. I’ll open abottle of moderately expensive wine and put some Walkers Sensations in a bowl.
  8. JANE It sounds wonderful, but I don’t know…
  9. ADAM Come on, what have you got to lose?
  10. JANE My virginity. And possibly my phone if I get too drunk. And then I’d have to send an email out for everyone’snumbers.
  11. ADAM You’re so uptight.
  12. JANE I am not!

1. FX BUS ATMOS OUT. KEY IN DOOR. ECD 3 / 12

  1. ANONYMOUS I slipped my key into the lock, which is actually quite anice literary metaphor. For sex. Suddenly inside my flat I heard a noise. 3. FX MUFFLED GLASS SMASH. 6004 / 88-94 (6039 / 67)
  2. JANE What’s going on? Who’s there? Oh…
  3. ANONYMOUS I couldn’t believe it – there in the middle of my frontroom was a burglar. I should have been really angry and called the police, but all I could think of - what with me being a 21 year old sex starved woman and all -was that perhaps this man could be the start of my erotic awakening. I decided to flirt with him.
  4. JANE Is that a gun in your pocket?
  5. BURGLAR No, it’s some of your jewellery and CDs.
  6. JANE I’ve got something else you could steal. Me.
  7. BURGLAR Nah, that’s kidnapping – you can get ten years for that. I may be a crack addict, but I’m not mental.
  8. JANE Why don’t we talk about it… upstairs. I’ll run a bath andget my kit off.
  9. BURGLAR Yeah, you do that and I’ll… leave. These Dido CDs aren’t going to fence themselves.
  10. JANE No, come back! No! I need awakening! No!
  1. ADAM Jane! Are you alright?
  2. JANE Adam Adamson? What are you doing here?
  3. ADAM Please, call me Adam… Adamson… the first name inerotic fiction.
  4. JANE But what are you doing here?
  5. ADAM I was worried about you, so I followed you home. It’s the sort of behaviour that’s quite normal in eroticnovels, but that in real life would be creepy and menacing. Like me grabbing your orbs.
  6. JANE Oh! Adam Adamson, the first name in erotic fiction!
  7. ANONYMOUS He grabbed my love mounds with his intense, manly hands.
  8. ADAM I need you.
  9. JANE I can feel you kneading me, like a randy baker. Mmm, your hands are so soft and warm.
  10. ADAM Yes, I have hairy palms.
  11. ANONYMOUS Adam swept the coffee table out of the way… 12. FX ENORMOUS CRASH OF TABLE. 6010 / 95
  1. ANONYMOUS Our bodies were touching now like two rivers meeting in an estuary of love. I couldn’t believe it. This wasbetter than anything I could have read in a book, because it was real. It was really happening. To me.Jane. A real 21 year old publisher’s assistant. With real orbs. I was tired of fiction. Tired of detective storieswhere the hero drinks too much and is divorced. Tired of those books about people who feel the need to inflictmemories of their unhappy childhood on the rest of us. Tired of books about punctuation or the history of salt or how clouds were invented. Tired of brightly coloured paperbacks from the three-for-two pile. Tired ofanything by Tony Parsons. The only thing I wasn’t tired of was science fiction. But even that could wait right now. Adam had lead me out of my world of fiction andwas about to show me some hard fact.
  2. JANE Oh…
  3. ADAM Mmm…
  4. ANONYMOUS I, Jane, was finally about to get…
  5. ANNOUNCER That was Chapter One ofauthor, Anonymous, with help from Alex Lowe, Forbidden Fire , read by the Rebecca Front, Michael Fenton Stevens, Mel Hudsonand Dan Tetsell. Paperback Hell was ghost-written by Danny Robins and Dan Tetsell and the producer wasLucy Armitage. [END]
