Classic; Nostalgic; Excellent

What other book might you compare Steptoe & Son: The BBC Radio Collection to, and why?

Dad's Army

Which character as performed by Harry H. Corbett and Wilfred Brambell was your favourite?

The show doesn't work without both of them. So impossible to say

Any additional comments?

Really well crafted. Like many of this era, the timing is impeccable. It's the original RADIO series rather than TV adaptation so no issues with visual jokes missed. Great collection and well worth a download

sound quality comes and on iPad & Andriod

Would you consider the audio edition of Steptoe & Son: The BBC Radio Collection to be better than the print version?

this could have been a fantastic audiobook

its only let down has been every so often the sound quality drops well down to poor sound. I'd have understood if the both series were the same, considering the age, though in this day and age I'd have thought this would have been enhanced.

I've tried this on two different Android phones and an iPad and the same think

Any additional comments?

sound quality lets this down at times :(

Characters that speak to the heart are timeless.

Where does Steptoe & Son: The BBC Radio Collection rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

Title: Muhammad Ali in His Own Words

Author: Muhammad Ali

Format: Original Recording

Length: 1 hr and 12 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-13-16

Publisher: BBC AudioBooks

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 1 votes

Genres: Radio & TV, Entertainment

Publisher's Summary:

This fascinating collection of archive interviews with Muhammad Ali begins in 1965, with an interview with Harry Carpenter, and culminates with a TV interview with Joanna Lumley in 1989.

Along the way Ali makes several famous appearances on Parkinson in the 1970s and talks to David Frost in The Frost Interview. The 1980s find him answering questions about his impending retirement and rumours that he is suffering from Parkinson's disease.

In the course of these appearances, he also discusses his fighting career, his frank views on religion and society, his vision of a separate black-only American state and his lack of formal education.

Members Reviews:

the greatest... for what it is

For anyone who's learned about Ali from a biography, news reports, or sports channel, hearing him in his own words reveals a depth and complexity that secondary sources could never provide. A humble and deeply intellectual man arises from his spoken word. Brief, but well worth the listen.

Publisher: BBC Worldwide Limited

Genres: Radio & TV, Entertainment

Publisher's Summary:

The complete fifth series of the legendary BBC Radio comedy series starring Tony Hancock.

Created by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson in 1954, Hancock's Half Hour was the radio vehicle that made Tony Hancock a household name. Each week listeners would be admitted to the sometimes fantastical, sometimes mundane life of 'the lad 'imself'. Aided and abetted by Sid James, Bill Kerr, Kenneth Williams and Hattie Jacques, Hancock would enter into the spirit of each episode with characteristic dolefulness.

This volume contains all 20 episodes from the fifth radio series, collected together for the first time. In these hilarious Half Hours, Hancock has a makeover; turns his home into a private school; stands in the East Cheam by-election; presents three short plays from the East Cheam Repertory Company; takes in a wrestling match with Miss Pugh; and gets more than he bargains for when he wins a TV quiz show.

The episodes are: 'The New Radio Series'; 'The Scandal Magazine'; 'The Male Suffragettes'; 'The Insurance Policy'; 'The Publicity Photograph'; 'The Unexploded Bomb'; 'Hancock's School'; 'Around the World in 80 Days'; 'The Americans Hit Town'; 'The Election Candidate'; 'Hancock's Car'; 'The East Cheam Drama Festival'; 'The Foreign Legion'; 'Sunday Afternoon at Home'; 'The Grappling Game'; 'The Junk Man'; 'Hancock's War'; 'The Prize Money'; 'The Threatening Letters'; and 'The Sleepless Night'.

This new set includes improved audio quality and extended edits for five episodes plus a previously unreleased mini episode recorded to coincide with the 1958 Commonwealth Games.

Duration: 10 hours approx.

Best series of the lot

Finally Series 5 comes out and in my opinion the best of the 6 radio series with a lot of the classic episodes here

Well worth investing in!!!!

A great collection of some of the finest comedy

A great collection of some of the finest comedy sketches of its time. As funny today as then.

HANCOCK'S HALF HOUR

Hancock was a great situation comedy from the fifties with Sid James ,Bill Kerr , Hattie Jaques , and Charles Hawtrey . HANCOCK'S HALF HOUR kept people glued to the radio when it was aired . the first series is not that great as Galton and Simpson honed their character . this series has some great episodes. my only criticism is each episode is given a number rather than its original episode title. well worth purchasing you will not be disappointed.

The best series yet

Some of the best ever Hancock is in this series. There is real chemistry be the team, although I miss Snide.

Fan-ruddy-tastic

So good to hear the old classics that IS, HANCOCK, JAMES, KERR, WILLIAMS, HATTIE JAQUES. absolutely brilliant, well worth a listen

Publisher's Summary:

Steve Punt hosts the funny, lively and dynamic quiz show from the makers of Cabin Pressure & Armando Iannucci's Charm Offensive.

Every week, at a different university, a team of three students pit their wits against three of their lecturers. The rounds vary between Specialist Knowledge and General Knowledge, quick-fire bell-and-buzzer rounds and "Highbrow and Lowbrow". Which of the students will turn out to be complete trivia boffins? Will the lecturers reveal they know more about Beyoncé than Barthes? There's plenty of scope for embarrassment on both sides....

The universities in this series are Cardiff, Manchester, Essex, De Montfort, Aston and Surrey, and the subjects range from forensic science to contour fashion via psychology and astrophysics. Meanwhile, the questions cover every subject under the sun, including the Epic Of Gilgamesh and My Little Pony, Gogglebox and blood spatter patterns, tennis balls and the Treaty of Westphalia....
