Ok you want involvement? You got it. At the hour and fifty eight minute mark of the podcast this week I ask you to tell me your worst coach stories. This is because this week on I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again during Operation Chocolate we listen to John Klese's tour guide impression which he made famous on Flying Circus. So bring forth your worst and PDM says your best tour coach stories from anywhere in the world. email [email protected] or send audio to [email protected] and next week I'll tell you my worst. With Rumpole we learn of the Gentle Art of Blackmail on Embassy Lark it's an every day story bring on the archery and with our Lost Kingdoms of Africa it's off to Greaat Zimbabwe. Please enjoy and sorry pardon for the tardiness.

This week the british embassy in Tratvia leaarns what it means to do it yourself. Plus it is off to the ancient kingdom of Ethiopa. Our Rumpole case this week involves the dearly departed and as always we ahave our prunes. Enjoy.

This week we begin to disect the lost kingdoms of Africa with a look at Nubia. We also learn how Mr. Pettigrew joined the foreign office and those loveable prunes take us to ten thousand BC. But most importantly we meet Horace Rumpole and she who must be obeyed as we listen to Rumpole and the Confession Of Guilt. Dedicated to Fred Bertelsen who would have had a birthday this week. Enjoy.

This week Sir Jeremy seems to have difficulty planning a party. Also we'll conclude our mocumentary as Podmore preps for the summer ashes. The prunes deal with making fun of Victorian melodrama and our play deals with a matter near and dear to my heart as the heroine has cerebral palsy. Please enjoy. Also major teasers for nexgt time.

This week, it's off to hte highlands of England's friendly neighbor to the north, as we listen to a play called The Apple Tree. We also learn how Pod handles a tour of the subcontinent, that's cricket for those keeping score and we learn about the Vikings again in I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again and why does the King always show up when Sir Jeremy needs a nip of brandy? Enjoy. I did.

This is late, I realize that. This week our play is All My Sons by Arthur Miller. We also have lots of fun with Pod and our prune collection. No Embassy Lark this week due to the length of this week's play. Enjoy.

This week we continue with BBC plays about America or written by Americans with a nod to my favorite play of all time. Thornton Wilder's Our Town from 1946. After the seriousness of our last documentary we presennt a mocumentary with our friend former England cricket player Dave Podmore and we begin Series 6 of I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again and one of Troutbridge's own drops in to the tratvian Embassy. Plus lots of laughter from Matt and pdm. So please enjoy this episode of Brunch With The brits dedicated with love to the staff of Test Match special.

This week's play is jusgt fun. It's called The Big Broadcast and it takes place agt a Chicago radio station in 1932. We also conclude the summer of 1940 with a look at the Home Guard nd in the British Embassy in Tratvia the king is presented a gift, that keeps breaking. Our current prune series ends with an ode to desert. Enjoy.

Happy Independence Day to those who celebrate and happy Canada Day to those who celebrated. For the rest of you hey the premier league is back in action tomorrow. In any case we have a new show and it doesn't fail to dissapoint in which we start with Embassy Lark and learn about how the king knows what's going on in the British embassy in Tratvia, we move on to the Summer of 1940 and get a better look at the blitz, in I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again it's a parody of Ulyses and to conclude our first look at American literature for the month of July the play Bartleby the Scrivener by Herman Mellvville adapted by Chery Cookson and starring Ian Holm. Enjoy.

This week our play deals with bird watching, literally, the prunes make fun of Jeeves we learn about the British fighter pilot yes you'll hear spitfires in action and when a certain British embassy abroad loses a flagpole you'll hear how they deaal with it.
