.I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue: Anniversary Special (BBC Radio Collection)

I'm probably preaching to the converted, but ISIHAC is intelligent, naughty, fantastic, foolish, sarcastic, and more.

iPod users beware - you simply cannot stop yourself laughing to this.

The radio in my car died and so I dug these out of my cupboard. Haven't enjoyed the commute so much for ages.

Don't miss out.

An Audio Book which I have enjoyed listening to over and over again. Makes the day a whole lot better. Not offensive in the slightest way.

.The Mighty Boosh (BBC Audiobooks)

I got this to keep myself entertained while walking home from work. It's also become a favourite when doing the dishes. It's as good or maybe better as the first TV series and like the TV series is set in the Zoo. I love it because I've listened to it a couple of times in quick succession and there was stuff in the second listening that I'd missed in the first. Would unreservedly recommend.

.A Short History of Nearly Everything
City Travel Guides > Books > Comedy
by: Bill Bryson

October 28, 2003
I started out with enthusiasm with this book but should have read the title a little more carefully. A short 'history'of nearly everything with the emphasis on HISTORY. This book goes into great detail on how and when each new bit of information was discovered with biographies of the scientists involved. This was not really what I wanted to read about as would prefer just to know the latest most up to date information and there are plenty much more interesting books on these topics, I have been browsing the Lonely Planet version on space and science which is illustrated and topical. Dont wish to offend fans of Bill Bryson, it is probably my mistake.

.Flight of the Conchords (BBC Audio)

What a little gem this is. I can't believe this passed me by (well it was on the radio so that's probably why). This is probably better than anything I have seen on TV for the last couple of years. I must admit that I haven't seen the HBO TV series and I'm not sure if I really want to because this is so good that I don't want to be disappointed.

For those of you who don't know, Flight of the Conchords are a real band, they even have an album out on the sub pop label. Though this radio series is a fictitious account of their attempt to break into the UK scene. They are described as a novelty band and indeed their songs are very funny but the music is still good as well. The only thing I can compare them to are Tenacious D but then they aren't ...

.Bleak Expectations (BBC Audio)

from: BBC Audiobooks Ltd

Sorry to voice a note of slight discontent..but.... although this is a very vibrant, well acted, fast firing parody of Dickensian childhood tales (mostly Great Expectations and David Copperfield)... I felt it lacked a little in staying power. Yes, when I first heard it, driving to B+Q, I actually stayed listening to it in the carpark until it had finished (mostly with jaw dramatically dropped). Then I promptly missed most of the following weeks so I was really looking forward to catching up.

There isn't much actual story. I mislabled it on itunes in my haste to listen to it while gardening. The first time through I didn't actually notice that it was out of order until 5 episodes in! The plot was that loose.

Yes, the totally self absorbed ... Read More:

.I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue: Vol 8 (BBC Radio Collection)

The team are back again with some enlightening definitions that are often missed..."Plebicite" - web page for common people, "Suffragette" - Package holiday flight and "Rafia" - Craft fair organised crime syndicate
...and of course the always wonderful "Mornington Crescent". This episode has Harry's first ever game of Mornington Crescent and the teams decide to play the childrens junior version of the game to "help" him. So if you're looking to understand how to play "Mornington Crescent", you'll need a good working knowledge of the names of London Underground stations. Thankfully this episode is further simplified as Humph helpfully explains that, "...the Waterloo mainline is irreversible if approached on the diagonal during a lateral pass" Thank goodness, ...

Believe me you will not regret buying this.
The show starts off fairly slow in the first series but it really comes into its own in the more recent series.
The show works very well with incredibly funny contestants such as Graeme Gardener, Tim Brooke Taylor and Barry Cryer. You cannot forget to mention the superb Humphrey Lyttelton and his dead pan delivery. The show is now and the refreshed by some new faces appearing for a few shows, these include people such as Stephen Fry and Paul Merton.
