A gently entertaining, intelligent comedy series with a sightly dated but very British outlook. Great fun and one I go back to often! I'm afraid I haven't edited my recordings so there is inevitably some BBC "fluff" at either end.

This is right up my alley as I used to be a big fan of both Ian Carmichael and Basil Boothroyd.
Thanks for sharing these.
Thanks for this. I was working and living in North Wales during the time frame given for this series but I've never heard of it.
