Summary

Paul Hilton stars as Pilgrim in the final three series of the award-winning BBC Radio 4 supernatural drama by Sebastian Baczkiewicz.

In 1185 William Palmer was making a pilgrimage to Canterbury. Unbeknown to him, his fellow pilgrim was the King of the Greyfolk. When William claimed that the church would eradicate belief in the Faerie world, he was cursed by the Faerie King and condemned to walk forever between the worlds of magic and of men.

In these three series, Pilgrim continues on his mission to preserve the uneasy balance between the two worlds and protect mankind from an enemy they resist believing in. His quests include searching for the Radiant Boy, a sinister harbinger of impending death; acquiring copper, silver and gold to rescue a group of people trapped in a mine by a malevolent spirit; and tracking down and punishing a former friend who has betrayed him. After so many centuries, will his curse be lifted and his wanderings finally come to an end?

Starring Paul Hilton as the immortal, reluctant and unthanked hero, this award-winning series weaves together ancient myths, magic and contemporary realism to create a dark, thrilling and enchanting fantasy epic that will stay with you long after Pilgrim's story ends.

Duration: nine hours approx.

Wonderful.

What a wonderful story. Pilgrim, a man and a road travelled, that was so full of fantasy and humanity in these selfish times. More, SB ( the author ) please don't deny us more of Pilgrims travels and encounters with the grey folk.

Am I the only one?

Paul Hilton is excellent as William ‘Pilgrim’ Palmer and the whole production is good, but if I listened to several episodes in one go I just got a bit bored.

I’ve heard all seven series and the problem for me is that it is a bit samey, and the pace isn’t particularly fast; it feels on occasions they drag the story out as the script isn’t long enough to fill the episode.

It is okay, and when I look at other 5* reviews I’m probably the only one who isn’t particularly enthralled by it, but believe the series would have been better with some regular companions for Pilgrim to journey with.

Simply superb

Its almost too hard to review Pilgrim. If your a fan there is nothing to fault. If you're not, then you may love it or hate it. In my opinion what has been created in the whole Pilgrim lore easily stacks up with the British fantasy lore greats including Tokkien. Paul Hilton's performance as Pilgrim is at times heartbreaking and uplifting. If the idea of a man who has wandered around England for over 800 years, weaving creatures from myth into modern day story telling appeals to you then you will love it.

Very dark, very compelling

This is excellently dramatised and very dark stories - not fairy stories as we previously heard them. Well worth listening.

Truly Fantastic

A whole series I'd missed, together with the news that there's to be a Christmas special where all will be settled. If you haven't listened to any of these series, then you are a very mucky person to be able to listen for the first time. It's so beautiful and terrifying, one of the best programs the bbc has ever produced and incredibly well written with such imagination - and Paul Hilton? Simply brilliant

Love good storytelling

I listened to the series sporadically on BBC Radio 4 but didn't really keep track. My 15 year old son had listened to all the episodes and kept saying how fab the story was so I bought the Omnibus Series 1 to 7 and thoroughly enjoyed it.

I do like listening to plays and do look out for Audible multi-narrator books.
