Any fans of The Way It is on here (spoof news show broadcast in the 90s/early 2000s starring Simon Evans. It's being released by BBC Recordings in July this year. Oddly, it says all 52 shows but the runtime is shown as 19 hours, at least 4 hours short.

I think I've found a solution elsewhere to my Agatha Raisin question...

I downloaded Agatha Raisin series 3 from R4Extra when it was on a few weeks ago, but I've managed to hit the wrong button and delete all 6 episodes. Does anyone else here have them? Thanks!

Anyone got any clue when, and indeed what, the next Charles Paris adaption is going to be?

I was sitting in my garden yesterday, listening to the birds, when I remembered a Radio 4 series from a few years ago about different birds and habitats and I was wondering if anyone might have a copy or know where I can find them.
• A Guide to Garden Birds
• A Guide to Woodland Birds
• A Guide to Water Birds
• A Guide to Coastal Birds
• A Guide to Farmland Birds
• A Guide to Mountain and Moorland Birds
Any help would be much appreciated. Many thanks :)

HarrySpeakup, presuming you have get_iplayer, you can add the --pid-recursive tag to the series tag you already have.
get_iplayer --pid=p0llbylh --pid-recursive. If you have already downloaded some episodes you can add --hide to stop them being downloaded again. That'll be 57 episodes though, included the 1 minute trailer!

Does anyone have a shortcut to bulk downloading the episodes of "The Comedy Circuit" on BBC Sounds, other than going through each individual episode URL/PID code?
