Enjoyed this, if you don’t want to venture into the dystopic nightmare that is BBC Sounds there is a transcript on the writers blog here, although you do miss the marvellous attempt at Moore’s Northampton accent.

Spot-on parody of the way that Moore actually writes, no real exaggeration here. (Here is a tweet with a picture of the first script page for Watchmen; that's not for the first page, it's for the first panel.)
