Night Terrace is a scripted science fiction audio comedy produced by Splendid Chaps Productions. Originally released as a paid digital download in 2014,[1] the first two seasons have been broadcast on BBC Radio 4 Extra since 2019.[2][3][4][5]

The show stars Jackie Woodburne as Dr Anastasia Black,[3] a "science hero" whose retirement from the mysterious "D.E.P.A.R.T.M.E.N.T." is cut short when her Melbourne terrace house unexpectedly starts to travel through space and time.[1][6] She is joined by student and door-to-door electricity plan salesman Eddie Jones (Ben McKenzie) and, later, fellow ex-D.E.P.A.R.T.M.E.N.T. agent Susan Denholm (Petra Elliott).[7] The first season won the Convenor's Award for Excellence at the 2014 Aurealis Awards.[8][9]
