The john peel everyday website is a good place to start, it's got a list of just about every peelie site out there. Probably the peel wiki would be the best place for Home Truths I reckon.

Old Soldier, if you would be willing to re-upload [?Alan Freeman's] 'The Story of Pop' I would be most grateful. I downloaded some of the eps when it was re-broadcast a few years ago and missed the start of the current re-broadcast on BBC6.

If re-uploading is inconvenient, perhaps we could come up with a Plan B.

Old Soldier - Thank you very much for Brothers In Law, and I'm sorry that it caused you problems finding it - but at least with my help you now have a nice tidy desk! Thanks again, greatly appreciated.

@Nick: Re. Malcolm Hardee:

John Fleming co-author of Hardee's Biography "I Stole Freddie Mercury's Birthday Cake" has, in the past, shared some of the interview source material in audio form used for the book: http://thejohnfleming.wordpress.com/?s=malcolm+hardee

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be an awful lot of Hardee material available. Wish I'd recorded his appearances in the comedy tent at Glastonbury. Miss him.

(.(.( tradio ).).)
A few words, if I may, about MP3 compression rates in light of PAW's earlier comment about why people share files encoded at a poor 48 kbit/s.

I think a lot of people share at poor quality bit rates, other than having no choice - re. international BBC streams - is because they know nothing about encoding rates, moreover because out-dated software informs them 48 kbit/s is the setting for speech. 48 kbit/s may be fine for speech recorded into an office dictaphone, to be transcribed and later disgarded, but not for broadcast quality speech and drama which requires, at the very least, 128 kbit/s, the current domestic BBC iPlayer standard.

Why Not Lower Than 128?
If you change the bit rate, you change it forever. MP3 is a 'lossy' format.

Every encode disgards audio data.

It's simple thrown away and lost forever. It is impossible, for example, to take a 128 kbit/s file and improve, or upgrade, it to 192 kbit/s. Audio data cannot be replaced.

The result of this is that one loses trebble - producing a muffled boxy quality or worst of all a swishing metallic sound.

Apologies if I appear patronising or preachy, but a lot of people have no clue about the MP3 format. Hope this helps them :)

Old Soldier
Warren, got it, your not recording, your dowloading, that's a big difference. Sounds like WMRecorder is similar to Radiodownloader, except it uses the WMA instead of AAC as the source. Dick
Sun 5th Feb 2012 06:30
Warren
Old Soldier,
I use WMRecorder, which downloads the source .wma files (averaging 250 kbps download speed, irritatingly; when the BBC used .rm format their servers let me download at over 10 Mbps). It's not free like Radiodownloader, but it's not expensive, and I've been using (versions of) it since a couple years before Radiodownloader existed.

I could convert the 48 kbps files into any bitrate MP3 I desired to, but as no new information would be created I don't really see the point.
Sun 5th Feb 2012 06:21
Old Soldier
Warren, do you still record. I'm in the US also and use Radiodownloader to grab all the BBC shows I upload. It's free and will give you the 48KBS aac or convert the aac to any KBS sized MP3 that you select during the download process. You can get the aac in a few seconds, the MP3 takes a few minutes to convert the aac. Unlike Get Iplayer, which a lot of our British members use, Radiodownloader works in the US without a proxy UK IP. The difference between recording and Radiodownloader is that in recording the program converts a stream that is playing and any connection blips will effect the final product; Radiodownloader grabs the actual file that is the source of the stream and delivers it as an aac or MP3. I also used to record until my personal hero, Matt, came out with Radiodowloader. Dick

Old Soldier -- Brilliant! (As always...)

Many thanks!

And everyone: here's a two-parter: Charlie Muffin, dramatised by Geoffrey M. Matthews from Brian Freemantle's novel. The title character is an insolent, rumpled, but brilliantly capable British espionage agent, being used as a pawn by his own government during the Cold War. Originally broadcast in 1986. Enjoy!

Sun 5th Feb 2012 03:55
Warren
PAW,
I record .wma (or, earlier, .rm) files at 48 kbps, and upload MP3s converted at the same bitrate, because I'm in the US and that's what the BBC is willing to give me. I could go to the effort of spoofing my IP address with a proxy service to get the bitrate the BBC offers its domestic users, but I haven't bothered because I haven't had trouble with quality at 48 kbps.

A lot of the files made available are 48kbs, which is understandable if they're old programmes but I don't see why people record modern ones at that rate - if you do do that, why do you do do that?

RJ - Omitted to thank you for the "A Sideways Look At". Not come across this before, but having listened to a couple they are a fascinating 15 minutes worth. I have no idea how many series/episodes there might have been but it appears to have been going on Radio 4 in 1977 and still going in 1989, so there must have been quite a few.

Anyone got any more?

The World According To Me:

Stand-up comic Jackie Mason offers some caustic social and political satire, with topical observations about the current world crisis.


Rock Of Ages:

The hit show from 2003 Edinburgh Fringe, featuring Radio 4 favourite Barry Cryer as you've never heard him - belting out the blues and a string of classic gags. He is ably assisted by Nottingham's finest rocker Ronnie Golden and top rockers Ronnie And The Rex.


Slices Of Life:

Hour-long show presented by cartoonist and stand-up comedian Phill Jupitus.


The Wonder Years:

Jenny Eclair investigates why children and teenagers are so popular in comedy.


Always The Bridesmaid:

A series looking at comic actresses we all remember and love, but who never took centre stage.


Hopes And Desires:

Comedies about unconscious yearnings. This was broadcast in 2 series (2003 and 2007). Series 1 is in the Comedy Folder. If anyone has series 2 to share, it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Oh dear, I'm sorry but there was absolutely no slight intended! It just so happened that there was a post containing a reference to DF's 'Bolt' in amongst the chit chat about a website of the same name and I made a throwaway remark linking the two. Humble and grovelling apologies. I meant nothing derogatory in any way.
You are too magnanimous and valuable a contributor to this wonderful site to offend.
I will retire and say my penance until the dawn breaks.

Radiohug, Let's get something straight, I DID NOT upload Bolt is response to any reference to a bolt site. I uploaded it beause it was one of the dramas I grabbed during the week, and as I do most weeks I share what I grab. To imply in a snotty way that someone clueless uploaded it because they didn't know you were talking about a link is totally unacceptable and not appreciated at all. Oldsoldier

Series 4 of Hot Gossip was broadcast in Jun-Jul 2011 and was hosted by Sarah Cox, who in the very first episode says:
1. Welcome to a new series of Hot Gossip
2. I'm Sarah Cox and a very pregnant Claudia will not be here this series.

The next series ran in Jan 2012 and just finished up. It was hosted by Claudia. According to Radio 2 this is the last series of the show. I'd have to say that this is the fifth series broadcast. We once again run into the BBC series numbering fiasco. The Radio 2 schedule clearly shows the Cox series as series 4 and also shows the Claudia series as series 4. Another mystery in series numbering. Dick

I must read all the posts before jumping in to answer one!
You got the 'bolt' reference, in spite of an attempt by another poster to allude to Dick Francis! (of which I also have most, if not all, audiobooks).
Not having uploaded much in the past, I am now looking to share what I have on a modest scale (poor bandwidth here in leafy Cheshire) - is sendspace the current bees-knees, or is there a better alternative with low (?nil?) cost?

The BBC Media Centre (what used to be the press office) at http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/ is a good place for news of forthcoming series.

The current series of Hot Gossip is listed by the BBC as #4, even on the page where they list all the series, and it shows two #4.

And I'd agree that Giles did jump the shark, by the fourth series in my opinion where the travel agency started.

In that case, I'll re-state my original request for the Alistair MacLean audiobooks!

The ones I'm most interested in are:
Where Eagles Dare (Martin Jarvis reading)
The Guns Of Navarone
Force 10 From Navarone
When Eight Bells Toll
Caravan To Vaccares
Puppet On A Chain
Santorini

And if anybody knows of a more recent reading of "South By Java Head" than the dreary recital by John Dunne that I downloaded here last year, that would be appreciated. At some point, probably in the 1970s or 1980s, someone had the bright idea of putting more emotion into audiobook readings, and whoever that was, I'd like to shake them by the hand!

I was distinctly underwhelmed by the recent series of Giles Wemmbley-Hogg Goes Off. Most of the gentle humor from the early series was gone, too many of the non-Giles characters were cartoonishly absurd (I liked best the earlier series which featured relatively normal, if stereotyped, people responding to the absurd Giles), and the situations had an intrinsic nonsense to them that wasn't created by Giles. I thought the first drafts of the scripts had been written for Another Case Of Milton Jones and used for GWHGO by mistake; I like ACOMJ, but they're different shows.

In other Radio 4 Comedy programming news, I was disappointed to hear that Richard Herring's Objective won't be renewed; I thought it rather hit its stride with the Wheelchair episode.

Oldsoldier: thanks once again for being so generous and sharing your amazing radio collection! I really enjoyed hearing Vanilla again! I agree the Sparkling Cyanide adaptation looks like it might be a bit disappointing, from the synopsis they also appear to be taking liberties with the plot! Will be listening any way though! Really enjoyed the dramatisation of Endless Night broadcast on 4 Extra yesterday, although I usually prefer Christie's traditional mysteries to her psychological thrillers, I have to admit that Endless Night is a great novel and the dramatisation was very well done!

Also, is it just me or is that Justin Moorhouse sitcom that started last week the least funny radio sitcom ever? I quite like MR and Mrs Smith but might have to give it more time to really get into it. I know the BBC needs to try out new comedies, if they didn't they'd be doing something wrong, but I can't help but just want to hear new series of old favourites. Really hoping that this year will see new series of Cabin Pressure, OHG, Count Arthur, Ed Reardon and CITC, I'd like more GWH Goes Off and Elvenquest too but think that might be asking a bit much since we had new series late last year. Does anyone know if there are plans for new series of any of the above?

Series 5 of Hot Gossip just finished up on Radio 2. Though it wasn't announced on the show, Radio 2 notes say it is the last show of the series.

"Claudia Winkleman returns to host the final episode of Radio 2's panel show which unleashes comics and commentators into the silicon filled world of gossip magazines and showbiz columns.

There are no teams, it's every man for himself, and this week's competitors are The Infinite Monkey Cage's Robin Ince; Jenny Éclair, who was the first ever female winner of the Edinburgh Comedy Award; and the talented Russell Kane, who won it in 2010."

Over the last year, I have worked putting together logs for AP, FP, SP, CS and WHD. The AP, FP and SP in the current format started in Apr 1998, when the BBC reorganized the drama lineup. I had access to the BBC schedules back to Jun 1997, so these 3 logs are complete. The WHD log goes back to Jun 1997. The CS log goes back to 1966, 1997 to present was taken from the schedule. Info for prior to Jun 1997 episodes was taken from numerous radio listng sites. Logs are in the Log Folder and can be downloaded as management tools. Dick

Oldsoldier: thanks for all the Comedy Controller episodes and other new comedy you've been posting to your comedy folder, it's very greatly appreciated especially as I had a couple of weeks where Radio Downloader was only partially recording shows and so I'd end up with half a programme missing, though it seems to have sorted itself out now, so I'm glad to have been able to download full versions of most of the new shows I'd been downloading! I'm so sorry but I can't find the Barry Cryer Selection Box upgrades, I think they must have been lost when my computer crashed, like a lot of the other shows I recorded over Christmas, as I had been too busy over Christmas to immediately back them up on my external hard drive like I try to do each week, I'll keep searching in case I've stashed them in a file I haven't looked in yet though.

Also, while I'm here, I know this is a long-shot but I was wondering if anyone might have a radio play broadcast a few years ago on the then Radio 7 (and originally on Radio 4 I presume) called Vanilla. It was a sort of dark fairytale in the style of Angela Carter but I don't remember anything else about it so searching for it online is proving difficult. I know this isn't much to go on but if anyone could help please I'd be very grateful!

Hi everyone, I've not been around for the last few weeks as my computer broke a few weeks ago and although it's now fixed it's taken ages to do an inventory of what files I've lost. I have backed up most of my radio and music collection but some of my more recent downloads had gone, still, thanks to everyone here I was able to replace lots of them from recent posts so thanks again to everyone for sharing everything, this would have been much more upsetting otherwise! I may however have to ask for some replacement files in the future when I realise I'm missing files I hadn't noticed yet, so I apologise in advance if I have to ask for something I've already asked for to be re-uploaded. I'm now trying to catch up with all the posts I've missed while I've been away and I need to get on to trying out the various editing software recently recommended!

re The Blackburn Files - I thought I'd updated that page, obviously not.

BBC7 renumbers episodes based on what they have available and what the documentation says, and with that being the only information the BBC made public it was assumed there were only five episodes - anyone who said different must have written it down wrong.

But there's been enough evidence to show there were six regular episodes, and that the first one was lost between the initial 1989 broadcast and the first repeat in 1990 - for example the radio listings in The Glasgow Herald, which are now on-line. Just a pity the Radio Times isn't available in that format.
Tue 24th Jan 2012 05:23
Charlieboy

Lester - The original 1989-07-11 s01e01 was, according to an episode log posted on Usenet, titled "A Case of Love And Money". It seems to be somewhat of an enigma as to whether it was repeat of an earlier "pilot" broadcast, a first broadcast of an episode originally recorded as a "pilot" but not previously broadcast, or simply s01e01.

I remember it well, because I normally only get the paper on a saturday, but the audiobook was sufficient enticement to get it from my local corner shop on sunday, but then during the week I had to walk 3 miles to WHSmith to get them, and then 3 miles back. OK, I didn't have to walk, but I figured I might as well get the extra exercise - it was on the way anyway on tuesday & friday when I do my regular 15-mile walk, but the other days did me in a bit!

re Last Of The Summer Wine - there were three volumes of four episodes released on double cassette, than on CD, on the "Radio Collection" label. Which wasn't the best of names for ones, like this, which were TV soundtracks with narration to cover the visual parts.

Some of the programmes, though none of these as far as I know, did get a radio broadcast later in their life.

Can anyone help with info about Last of the Summer Wine radio series? I found 12 episodes, but not much info about them. They were apparently released on tape in 1995, use the audio from the TV series, with Peter Sallis providing extra narration.

Were there only 12 audio episodes, were they broadcast, or was it direct to tape.

BrokenViolin,

If you're still not getting good results with Audacity, I would recommend mp3DirectCut for lossless editing. I use it all the time now for trimming stuff I've downloaded from BBC iplayer. As the name suggests, it just chops the unwanted bits off your original mp3 file without encoding/compressing it again. You can also do fade-ins/fade-outs.
Personally I now only use Audacity for editing WAV files because of the loss of quality I experienced when working with mp3s.
If you Google "mp3DirectCut" it will lead you to free download sites. Hope this helps...

actually guys....seemed to have found how to alter the setting with audacity...see if this works any better

technology/editting questions for anyone that can help me please!!!

Ive bootlegged a recent stand up show with the following settings: MP3 - 320kps, 48.0khz, been editing with audacity, but appears after trimming some of the track off and saving it, it compresses the file down to 128kps and i find depending on the show ive recorded it can make the sound abit muffled and fuzzy. Listenable, but still....

SOOOOOOOOOO Basically does anyone know of a program that i could use that would allow me to edit the original track without compressing?
Ive previously recorded in WAV and convered to mp3 and been ok quality, so i may just have to return to that!

Thanks once again. Some of the Hello Cheekys are certainly an improvement. You seem to have a pretty good collection, a lot bigger than mine, but if there is anything in the radio comedy line you are missing please let me know and if I have it, I will gladly supply. Anthony

Here's Aesop's Astronauts -- I haven't seen this two-parter on the board before, and thought you might enjoy it. Originally broadcast in 1996.

Ed Bishop (who played Philip Marlowe in the BBC Raymond Chandler adaptations) and the remarkable Toyah Willcox star in Tony Mulholland's play about what might have happened to the animals used as astronauts in the earliest years of space exploration. The animals develop Accelerated Evolutionary Syndrome and the power of speech -- it's very good fun!

You are of course right about the duplicate Way It is. Rats. I don't have the Least Worst of Hello Cheeky, sorry. I used to, on cassette, many moons ago but as it is just a compilation I didn't bother keeping it when I got the mp3s. Also used to have the Seedy Sound of Hello Cheeky where they rerecorded some of the better (!) songs without an audience but did not, IMHO, improve them much. Again this never made it onto my computer.
My list of duff recordings is:
Ok but could be better
s02e04 so2e05 s02e11 s03e12 s04e04 s04e09 s04e14 s04e15 s04e16 so5e02

I don't know of any such project I'm afraid. I see that I've labelled 9 of my episodes as "poor quality" so if you like to post a list of your "dozen" I'll see if I can provide any upgrades. Incidentally, I don't have "the lot" because I'm missing the second broadcast episode of The Least Worst of Hello Cheeky (1st February 1976). Any chance you could post that one for me?

On another topic, the episode of The Way It Is labelled simply 2000 is a duplicate of the 2000-02-17 episode.

You are too kind.

By the way, would you know of a project to restore Hello Cheeky recordings? I have the lot, courtesy of the Britcom forum, but about a dozen are so badly recorded as to be unlistenable to. My efforts using Audacity produce no improvements.

Anyway, apparently there was a radio version of this called, 'Sounds Familiar' hosted bt Barry Took. Despite trawling the internet I can find very little information on it, does anyone recall it or have any more information. By the by thankyou Charlieboy for Pull the Other One, don't remember this at all, an excellent find.

Something new to me that I came across in my recent wanderings and might be of interest to others. "Pull The Other One". Described as comic games chaired by David Frost. Taking part are Ken Dodd, Frank Carson, Bernie Clifton, John Martin, Bob Monkhouse, Leslie Crowther. Three guests are given unusual news stories and asked to tell the future Sir David what happened. I'm currently uploading the episodes I found (I've tidied up the file names and IDE tags) to here: http://www.sendspace.com/folder/njxuu8 .

There were five series on Radio 2 from 1987 to 1992. There was also a Christmas Special called "Pull The Other Cracker" in 1988 and 1989. Series 3 and series 5 are complete. Series 1, series 2 plus first special, and the first four episdoes of series 4 are missing. Can anyone provide fills please?

If you haven't listened to Radio 4 Extra this morning, I think they must be on an enhance image campaign. They repeated the WHD Ruthless in omnibus, which they have been doing since they changed over from Radio 7. But today, it is a Radio 4 Extra Debut and the continuity announcer says, "Radio 4 Extra is proud to present Ruthless".

They started a repeat of Comedy Greats today, but it isn't the same, this is a real digitally remastered episode with excellent audio. The intro has been replaced, "Radio 4 Extra proudly presents Commedy Greats..... Barry Cryer says welcome to Comedy Greats on Radio 4 Extra. This intro in part of the show not a continuity announcer comments before a program. The rest of the program contains the same "greats" from the original broadcasts.

Something not often referred to here, and first aired on Radio 3 rather than 4. If you enjoy the michael being extracted from Arts buffs you should enjoy Mightier Than The Sword (1996), written by John Morton who was also repsonsible for The Sunday Format and People Like Us. Starring John Sessions, John Bird, John Wells and many others. It was a parody of the long running R3 arts show Night Waves. You can find it here...

There are seven series of CITC, did you want all of them? If so I can upload them but will have to do it in a few batches as I doubt sendspace's upload limit will let me upload all of them in one go!

Thanks to everyone for the advice about editing software, we do have audition, which we use for recording and editing our own radio show for Dandelion radio, but unfortunately I can't use it on my own as it's not compatible with my screen-reading software, but I am going to download the other suggested programmes and see if I can work with them so thanks very much!

Anthony - My pleasure. The real credit goes to Paul Winalksi (aka Professor Prune) who did most of the word-for-word comparisons of various recordings and Zenith for providing HQ copies of the UK broadcasts of the earlier series. They are still not "complete". For example, John's "Mind you, he's not a verger any more" is still missing from the John & Mary sketch in s05e08 Beau Legs. I've still got the original UK broadcast on cassette and hopefully one day I'll get around to seeing if I can patch it in.

Rachael, just wanted to add my two penn'orth to the recent comments on trimming mp3s downloaded from iplayer.
From my own experience, I agree with Charlieboy in preferring the freeware program mp3directcut over Audacity. I have been using it for about 7 months, since it was brought to my attention by Bob129 at radioarchive.
The problem I had with Audacity was that if I used it to edit an mp3 file, I found that the sound quality was adversely affected. I still ended up with a 128kbps file, but when I listened to it, the sound quality was like a lower-bitrate recording. From what I've read, this is because Audacity saves files by encoding (compressing) the edited mp3 all over again, resulting in a further loss in quality.
By contrast, mp3directcut just chops off the unwanted sections from the original mp3, so the quality sounds exactly the same.

Hope this helps.

Re audio editing without re-encoding: take a look at the tools offered by DVDVideoSoft (http://www.dvdvideosoft.com/), I've not tried them but it's claimed to be able to edit most audio formats.

I know the Rogue Amoeba products and like how they work (& have an alias in one of the credits), so usually recommend them first.

Regarding "After Henry" - I think I have the same edit of "The Season Of Relative Goodwill" (we are talking about the series 3 christmas special, are we not?). Mind you, I can't say I'm that fussed, because that episode and the entire fourth series are redundant as far as I'm concerned, the 3rd series brought things to a neat conclusion. Then again, it's hardly the first or last show to outstay its welcome, Bleak Expectations is currently going downhill, and after Ronnie Barker left (indeed, even just before), The Navy Lark took a bit of a nosedive.

re Paul Merton's 1996 audiobook "My Struggle" (a spoof autobiography, now out-of-print).
I discovered that it had been uploaded on YouTube by MakeLAUGHnotWAR, back in 2009. With a bit of jiggery-pokery I've managed to download the clips, convert them to mp3, and edit them together to emulate the original tapes.

You can find the result here as a zip file. 4 files, total size 100mb; total runtime approx 2hr 25min; bitrate 96kbps:

The site says that 1.2 isn't compatable with Windows 7, that's just not so. I'm on Windows 7 and clip hundreds of files each week. The other features may not be compatible but clipping is. There's a Beta version that is compatible with Windows 7. Download link is below. Oldsoldier

Before I forget, just on the Life After Henry Christmas episode discussion, my version also ends at the same point so maybe that's how it was meant to be though I admit it does seem a bit odd!

On the subject of Simon Brett/Prunella Scales collaborations, I've always hoped they'd make a Christmas episode of Smelling Of Roses (which is still one of my favourite radio comedies ever), would love to have seen Rosie Burns PR organising a Christmas event, it might inspire them to start work on a long overdue fifth series, though I suspect that the show may have been permanently shelved sadly.

However, my copy of the Series 1 Xmas Special (A Week of Sundays) also only runs for 23m 46s (this time with the original credits although once again a BBC7 recording). Does this imply that both Xmas Specialos were 25m rather than the usual? Or do you have a longer version of A Week Of Sundays?

Spoony/Rachael - For the avoidance of doubt, my copy ends with "You may switch the wireless on now ... click ... my husband and I ...BBC7 announcer with end credits".

If not, I'm wondering whether either (1) the original 1987 episode was transmitted in a 25 minute timeslot, or (2) whether BBC7 are repeating a Transcription Service version originally edited down to 25 mins to suit overseas broadcaster, or (3) whether BBC7 have done some PC censoring.

Glad you like the Buchans. Although these are better quality than those previously offered, there is some background hiss on some of these recordings which I tried to remove using Audacity. Audacity did an excellent job of removing the hiss but left the narrator's voice slightly clipped and metallic. I felt this was worse than the hiss so I gave up and just uploaded the files unaltered. I noticed a little of the same clipping and metallic sound on the other files, which had very little hiss, as if they had been subject to the same sort of clean-up which I had tried. Is this effect an inevitable result of removing hiss? Do you know any technique for removing hiss which doesn't affect the sound quality?

Hi all!

I wonder if anyone could help me with a few random requests - I'm looking for the radio play production of Blue/Orange by Joe penhall which was broadcast a few years back - maybe 7 or 8 years ago?

I'm also looking for Richard II if anyone could help with that.

Finally I'm looking for any conor mchperson plays that made it to the radio - I've heard the weir and port authority but don't know whether any of his other plays were ever broadcast. If I don't know I'm sure someone on this forum might! any help appreciated.

yours (a little greedily!), muls

As it was missed of the wish list, could I put in another request for the 'Words and Music' section from Liverpool's "Free Thinking" radio festival in 2007?

It aired 11th November 2007 on Radio 3 and was presented by Matthew Sweet and is around 90 mins long.

Further details can be found here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/freethinking2007/pip/bofmm/

PAW,

PS: Forgot to mention, the items on the Wishlist are the only items needed to complete a show series. For example, if there was a show with 10 series and only series 5 is on the Wishlist, it means we have collected the other 9 series for the show.

If there are any series that you're looking for, just ask for them. I'm constantly amazed what our great members come up with.

I currently have about 80 gigs in my Sendspace Box. Links to the folders are below. Feel free to help yourself. Oldsoldier

PAW, first thank you for the great episode guide site. It's the best.

I started the consolidated Wish List in November 2011 when we began trying to complete the great series that Lester found on some discs he had. This expanded to a series sharing/completing project. So, I just kept adding the missing episodes and series to the Wish List. The current Wishlist represents the episodes/series that were asked for by members from Nov 2011 to present, but noone had. I update the list about every 2 weeks. Oldsoldier

I thought it was too good to be true that I had something that the group didn't.

I'll now go and get the proper if incomplete s20e03 now.
Sun 8th Jan 2012 02:25
PAW
Re the Wish List - I've got some of those, I'll put them on my iPod and check they're really what I think.

And how was the list assembled? There's some series I've been searching for a long time to get, so does the omission of (for example) OneClick Comedy/Milk Run mean there's a full set available?

westham - I appreciate your taking the time and trouble to post one of the incomplete ISIHACs for me. Unfortunately I've lost count now of how many times I've come across this particular file misidentified as s20e03. It is in fact 1993-08-09 s21eC5 [a compilation from s20e03 + s20e04].

Full running orders for all episodes can be found at http://www.isihac.org.uk/ - click on the Programme Info Link, then the relevant Series link, then the Show link. The s21 compilation episodes are listed at the beginning of the Series 22 section rather than the end of the Series 21 section.

Merry 2012 everyone.

I'm trying to be a bit more pro-active this year, so I'll be asking for help on any details I'm missing or which could be made clearer.

I usually listen to comedy before anything else, so those are the pages which get more attention, and I'm more likely to update them.

Pleased that I can help with one item on the wish list: a full version of ISIHAC s20e03 Vegetable Film Club.

I was listening to the "A Bit Of Fry & Laurie" compilation (part 2 of 2, an audio-only collection of highlights from the BBC TV show) and realised that Part 1 of 2 should be in your List of Missing Episodes. I recall this came up before: although Part 2 has been repeated on The Comedy Controller, no-one has a copy of Part 1.

Thanks for all your work to maintain the List.

Hi Austin,
Thanks for your message. I do already have most of the Freedom 2007 stuff but never managed to find the Words and Music section.
Oh, I see. The length probably meant all of the sections put together. 90 mins is much more reasonable, I didn't think it sounded right. Thank you for correcting me.
Hope someone has got the Words and Music section somewhere, it looks like it was really good.

Hi LucieR,
Sorry, can't help with the Words & Music part of "Freedom 2007" - my recording stops 1/4 hour before it starts. I've got most of the parts before it - intro, drama on 3 (Yesterday an Incident Occurred), and a chunk of the Sunday Feature (Backwash).
Austin
P.S. Words and Music was about 90 mins long.

This is quite a long shot, but would anyone happen to have the 'Words and Music' section from Liverpool's Free Thinking radio festival in 2007?

It aired 11th November 2007 on Radio 3 and was presented by Matthew Sweet. It has three parts:
Youth and Freedom
Oppression
Expression
which go on for just over 4 hours in total.

Further details can be found here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/freethinking2007/pip/bofmm/

These 3 new Comedy Series started this week. Episode 1 of each is in the Comedy Folder. I'll upload the rest as they are broadcast. Enjoy. Oldsoldier

A Short Gentleman: 4 Episodes

Comedy by Jon Canter. Hugh Bonneville stars as Robert Purcell QC, a perfect specimen of the British Establishment, who applies faultless legal logic to his disastrous personal life.


I, Regress: 6 Episodes

Matt Berry plays a twisted regression therapist in this dark surreal comedy. Each episode sees the doctor dealing with a different client.


Meanwhile, It's Will & Greg:

Sketch show. Mixing live and studio-based material, William Andrews and Greg McHugh explore the surreal and the absurd through characters and everyday situations.
