Hello and welcome to the latest in a series of occasional podcasts from Grunty Fennery.

Several years ago Chris South spent a pleasant afternoon talking about Dennis of Grunty Fen with Liz Sayers, Pete Sayers' first wife, who was present at the conception of Dennis and can bear witness to the early Dennis years. Fortunately despite a pandemic the recording survived.

The program is introduced by Carol Carman.

On the 2nd September 2024 Christopher South addressed the Warboys Local History Society in Warboys and spoke of many things, mostly Dennis of Grunty Fen but he also took the opportunity to express his opinion on several other subjects including the BBC and modern comedy.

We took the opportunity to record Mr South talking but the only equipment we had to hand was a mobile phone. Also Chris punctuated his talk by tapping his walking stick upon the floor. The recording quality has suffered a little but is still very entertaining.

Warning : these are Chris’s own words and opinions and may cause offense!

Happy Easter! Congratulations on making it this far. The first Grunty Fencast of 2024 sees us going back thirty years to Easter 1994 when Dennis gave Mr South a present, and hardly stopped talking about it after that.

This episode features Seccotine, Brian the Guard Duck, pressing a tongue, goldfish named Ted, the SAS cat, submarines, Ronald Shiner, a piece of pork, a flit gun and Grandad’s truss. Not only that, but you’ll find out how Mr South upset Dennis by asking him a question.

Hello and welcome to the latest in a series of occasional podcasts from Grunty Fennery.

The second Grunty Fencast of 2023 sees Mr South quizzing Miss Edwards’ newest recruit – Ian, the new Grunty Fen archivist – about his knowledge of Grunty Fen, so you can test yourself as well as you listen.

As if that wasn’t enough – there’s a free episode for you from 1993 in which Dennis gives Mr South a Christmas hamper. You may be surprised at what’s in it. Mr South was.

Mr South is relaxing by the fireside in his library, feet up and eyes closed - but let no-one think that he is asleep. Especially when the phone rings, and someone needs his help with a very unusual problem. But could Mr South be in danger?

Hello and welcome to the latest in a series of occasional podcasts from Grunty Fennery.

Mr South has spent the coronavirus lockdown doing what Mrs South wants, which is mostly for him to keep out of her way. However, he has been worried about how the extraordinary situation has affected his friends in Grunty Fen.

Trouble is, he’s had the devil’s own job trying to get hold of Miss Edwards at the Post Office and General Stores to find out. In this episode of the Grunty Fencast, Mr South tries again, like the dogged, determined journalist he is.

Christopher South has written another new book called "Who's Who of Grunty Fen". In this episode of the Grunty Fencast Christopher introduces some of the characters that he came across in researching Who's Who. It's all entirely fictional of course so any similarity between Chris' Grunty Fen characters and anybody living, dead or yet to be born is entirely coincidental.

As a reward to yourself this is followed by a episode of the Dennis of Grunty Fen radio show broadcast by the BBC in 1988 and called "Cricket". "Cricket" is part of the "Best of Dennis - Volume 1" album available from www.dennisofgruntyfen.co.uk. The program is introduced by Carol Carman.
