This radio series was based on two sf novels - "The Master of Paxwax" and "The Fall of the Families" - published by Philip Mann in the mid-1980s.
The series, narrated by Dick Weir, was set in a distant future when the universe was ruled by 11 great families, all of which have their own unique slight deformities.
The story was about the life of Pawl Paxwax, Master of the Paxwax Fifth family, and his role in the fall of the Eleven and the revolt of the alien races suppressed ruthlessly by the humans.
The series was broadcast on National Radio circa 1988, as I can recall listening avidly on a transistor radio on holiday in Picton! Would love to hear it again - perhaps through Replay Radio?? Would also like to hear others' memories/opinions...
