The Inimitable Jeeves - P G Wodehouse - BBC Audiobooks Ltd
A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation starring Michael Hordern as Jeeves.
'Richard Briers and Michael Hordern... sensational in the main roles.' -- Time Out
Typical. Just when Bertie thinks that God's in his heaven and all's right with the world, things start to go wrong again...
There's young Bingo Little, who's in love for the umpteenth time and needs Bertie to put in a good word for him with his uncle; Aunt Agatha, who forces Bertie to get engaged to the formidable Honoria Glossop; and the troublesome twins, Claude and Eustace, whose antics when let loose in London know no bounds.
Add to that some friction in the Wooster home over a red cummerbund, purple socks and some snazzy old Etonian spats, and poor Bertie's really in the soup...
Only one man can save the day - the inimitable Jeeves.
The perfect pairing of Michael Hordern as Jeeves and Richard Briers as Bertie ensures constant hilarity in this full-cast radio dramatisation that also includes David Jason, Pat Coombs and Miriam Margolyes.
Ever since that long gone age of railways - Whenever that was - Stations have needed porters. That special breed of men who during those long periods between trains, can find endless tasks to perform.
Ever since that long gone age of railways - Whenever that was - Stations have needed porters. That special breed of men who during those long periods between trains, can find endless tasks to perform along the platforms.
Yet can, with the appearance of a train and it's passengers, vanish. Only reappearing if the smell of a large tip is in the air.
Burt Pride is just such a man, and Burt, a long time servant of the railway, knows that every job has it's little fiddles and is not above making them work to his advantage.

The Visit
According to Author Dennis Rookard, The Travellers Rest is a little off the beaten track and rather hard to find for the first timer. But should you ever be in Brentwood, Essex and venture down New Road, you'll find the Traveller's Rest tucked in between the United Reform Church and the old Court House, and just across the road from the Library. True the pub is not much to look at, being a bit down at heal both inside and out, and sadly in need of a coat of paint. But that's the way the regulars of this back street pub like it. And so will you.

A white lie about a smear of blood and a garage door leads two young twins to alarming assumptions.
If you want to create a tangled web, it isn't always neccessary to PRACTISE to deceive.
Here, an off-the-cuff white lie about a smear of blood and a garage door leads two young twins to alarming assumptions about their well-meaning but not entirely blameless father.
We should like to pay particular tribute to Jean Donald for taking over the part of Paula with only one rehearsal. Happily, Rose Butcher, who was not well enough to record, should be back with us for future productions.
