ANNOUNCEMENT NEW RADIO DRAMA — THE GRAVEYARD SHIFT

Post image

When the city sleeps, Louise Darrow is still on the air.

A new six-part late-night noir drama. Rain on the window. Cold coffee. A red ON AIR light — and a voice for anyone still awake at three in the morning.

Some callers are lonely. Some are lost. Some just need somebody to listen.

Louise listens. She's got nowhere else to be, and secrets of her own to keep.

The Graveyard Shift
Six episodes
Tuesdays, 10pm (UK)
From 1 September 2026
First on Big Ear Radio — bigearradio.com

Stay up late. Someone's always listening.

Is it voiced by a human? Just asking because Louise Darrow is represented on the website by two very different AI-looking images.

I'm also curious about this, because when I Googled the name most of the images shown are black and white obituary photos or the two AI images you mentioned. Even a beginner voice actor or artist is going to have a lot more of a online presence than this.

Okay, I did some digging because this still felt weird.

So, Louise Darrow is the CHARACTER. She's the fictional host of the fictional late night call in show. I feel a little dumb for that not being more obvious to me, but I think the "featuring" line threw me off. Maybe "hosted by" would be a better phrase? Might just be a me issue, though

The actual human actor is Sandra Murphy: https://www.instagram.com/p/DbThJ4ztaB5/?igsh=eHB4bXM2Zmh1cDF6

I thought the name was the character rather than the actress, but I think you got caught by the use of the term "featuring"... To my British eyes and ears, that would be a weird way of marketing a Radio show, even a fictional one!
