Logo for Afternoon Reading - Once Seen - The Up Escalator

Series of three stories inspired by a very modern small-ads phenomenon. By Matt Beaumont. As the narrator travels up towards daylight on the escalators at London's Holborn tube station, the second longest on the network, she gazes into the startling grey eyes of a man coming down. He looks at her for the entire length of the journey, even turning round once they've passed. But how will she ever gaze upon them again? Perhaps an ad is the answer. Read by Jane Collingwood. A Heavy Entertainment production for BBC Radio 4.
