some radio

(Please refer to this as "Agatha Raisin radio")

About 150 half-hour radio programs on a data DVD. These are .mp3 files. If you pop it into a DVD disc player they should play fine. What you do with the files is your business. If you don't know how to transfer them to your smart phone, or cloud, or flash drive or any other device to listen to them while driving, walking, working, etc., that's your problem and not mine.  

Agatha Raisin - all 18 episodes aired between 2004 and 2011 with Penelope Keith as Agatha. I think these stick a bit closer to the M C Beaton stories than the TV show does. There was a pilot episode in 2003 but I don't have it.  

All Those Women - all 8 episodes - about four generations of women living under one roof. With Sheila Hancock (eps 1 - 4) and Marcia Warren (eps 5 - 8), Lesley Manville.........

Clare in the Community - all 68 episodes of this long running show starring Sally Phillips as social worker Clare Barker. With Liza Tarbuck, Richard Lumsden......based on the popular comic strip.

North by Northamptonshire - all 17 episodes of this comedy about life in a small market town. This has an impressive cast that includes Penelope Wilton, Sheila Hancock, Felicity Montagu, Kevin Eldon, Mackenzie Crook, Geoffrey Palmer..........

Plum House - 7 episode comedy about a country manor struggling to attract tourists. With Simon Callow, Jane Horrocks, Miles Jupp........ 

To Hull and Back - 9 episode comedy starring Lucy Beaumont and Maureen Lipman about a woman living with her mother in Hull 

When the Dog Dies - 24 episode comedy starring Ronnie Corbett.
Speaking of Ronnie Corbett, it appears that following the release of his late 60's TV comedy No That's Me Over Here a couple years ago, his early 70's follow ups Now Look Here and The Prince Of Denmark will also be released on DVD.
