Format: Unabridged

Length: 03:42:54

Language: English

Release date: 02-20-20

Publisher: Penguin Books LTD

Genres: General Comedy

Summary:

All eight episodes of the BBC Radio 4 sitcom about the marketing maestro who puts the man into management

John Weak is a high-powered Marketing Director with the morals of a skunk, the skin of a rhino and the brain of a one-celled organism. Randy, devious, sexist and drink-sodden, he spends his time skiving, chasing top totty and trying to keep his demanding boss, Sir Marcus, happy.

With the help of his long-suffering PA Hayley and friend Bill Peters (Director of Long Lunches and Work Avoidance), Weak manages to stay on top by doing absolutely nothing of use while giving the appearance of adding value to Smokehouse Plc, a company that makes processed food products from ingredients youd never consider eating individually.

In these eight episodes, he battles to roll out an urgent global website, discovers theres nothing legally binding about a legally binding contract, leaves a witty comment on a leaving card that sends panic through Human Resources and designs the perfect company conference using only a video of great sporting moments and that fox from Channel 5 news. Plus, he unveils the feminist text of a chocolate bar ad, solves the meeting room crisis with a spot of seduction and turns Smokehouse green while saving Sir Marcus from an eco-Nazi who insists on paper underwear.

Created by bestselling author, humorist and management guru Guy Browning, this hilarious satire of corporate culture stars Alexander Armstrong as John Weak, with Clare Perkins as Hayley, Geoffrey Whitehead as Sir Marcus and Ron Cook as Bill Peters.

Title: Gloomsbury: The complete series 1-5 of the hit BBC Radio 4 comedy

Author: Sue Limb

Narrator: Alison Steadman, Full Cast , John L. Sessions, Jonathan Coy, Miriam Margolyes, Morwenna Banks, Nigel Planer, Roger Lloyd Pack

Format: Unabridged

Length: 14:01:37

Language: English

Release date: 02-20-20

Publisher: Penguin Books LTD

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Humor

Summary:

'... one of the funniest, slyest, most naughtily inventive and brilliantly performed shows on the air' - Gillian Reynolds, The Daily Telegraph

'A gloriously silly show' - The Lady

Miriam Margolyes, Alison Steadman and Nigel Planer star in Sue Limb's wickedly funny comedy parodying the arty and adulterous adventures of the Bloomsbury Group, who dominated the English cultural scene in the early 20th Century.

The series follows the fortunes of Vera Sackcloth-Vest - writer, gardener and cross-dresser - and her urge to escape from the tranquillity of the rather cramped little castle in Kent which she shares with her doting but ambiguous husband, Harry, who is 'something in the Foreign Office'. Vera's heart is forever surging with exotic passion, either for Ginny Fox, a highly-strung novelist who adores her, or the beautiful but shallow Venus Traduces.

As the scene shifts from Kent to London, and Cornwall to Monaco, this close-knit coterie is divided by misunderstandings, jealousies and rows, whilst the colourfully chaotic characters are joined by such sort-of familiar figures as D.H. Lollipop, T.S. Jellitot, Sigmund Void, George Gurnard Shaw, Dorothy Barker, Al Padrone, James Voyce and Ernest Hammingaway.
