Old Harry’s Game: The Complete Series of the Award-Winning BBC Radio 4 Comedy
All seven series of Andy Hamilton's fiendishly funny award-winning comedy set in Hell. 'Satirical, philosophical - and devilishly funny' Gillian Reynolds, Daily Telegraph Welcome to Hell - where nobody can ever quite catch the barman's eye. In this collection, which contains all seven series of Old Harry's Game, get ready for some wicked one-liners and scorching satire. Satan is fed up after a millennia in charge of Hell, especially given the prospect of an eternity still running the damned place. Although he does enjoy playing pranks on the world of the living and devising wry torments for the souls in his keeping, he often wistfully recalls his past as an archangel... Over the course of the series, we meet various famous figures now languishing in Hell, including a foul-mouthed Jane Austen, a mindless Helen of Troy and a less-than-heroic Samson. Satan takes Hell resident Thomas on a tour of his life, his assistant Scumspawn has trouble with a pushy computer, and love drives The Professor to extreme action. Satan and The Professor find a huge, empty space in Hell (when they enter Scumspawn's brain), a Health and Safety officer notes that the lighting is inadequate, and Satan punishes a feng shui expert. And then Edith arrives... Seven series of the Sony Award-winning comedy (plus the Christmas and Olympic specials) starring Andy Hamilton as Satan and a regular cast of acclaimed actors including Annette Crosbie as Edith, Timothy West as God, James Grout as The Professor, Jimmy Mulville as Thomas and Robert Duncan as Scumspawn.

It's not easy being Satan. There are the long hours (that stretch into eternity), and Hell seems to have more admissions than it can cope with. One of the new arrivals is Edith, a historian, athlete and humanitarian. And she's trouble: she refuses to believe she's dead, she knows Thomas and she's not afraid of Satan. But will the Grand Tour, which includes the Pit of Musicians, the Lake of Fire and the Pit of Health and Safety Inspectors, finally make her realise where she's ended up? At least Satan still knows how to have his fun: he's sneaked more teeth into Cherie Blair's smile.

Trevor's World Of Sport Series 1
The first series of Andy Hamilton's BBC Radio 4 comedy about sports PR agent Trevor, starring Neil Pearson and Paul Reynolds.Trevor and Sammy are the movers and shakers at TS Sports Stars agency. Friends for twenty years, and business partners for nine, they are chalk and cheese: Trevor is thoughtful, honest and sensitive while Sammy is a rapacious dealmaker with the morals of a hyena. In these six episodes, we follow Trevor and his partner as they deal, in their very different ways, with colleagues and clients. While Sammy spends most of his time lusting after their highly intelligent lesbian receptionist Heidrun, Trevor finds himself grappling with egotists, opportunists, raging alcoholics and religious extremists - not to mention naïve footballer Jason; a Buddhist; a polar explorer; someone called Biggsy; an impossibly difficult tennis star and of course Ralph, the ultimate client from hell. Then there's his estranged wife Meryl, and his son, Toby - who is a teenager, with all the horror that entails. For Trevor, life is a shark tank, and it's a constant struggle to stay afloat... Following on from the acclaimed TV series, this Radio 4 show, written by Andy Hamilton (whose radio credits include the Sony Award-winning 'Old Harry's Game'), and with appearances by Kevin R. McNally and Doon Mackichan, is an enjoyable, fast-moving series about the high-profile, money-spinning industry of sporting celebrity.

Trevor's World Of Sport Series 2
The second series of Andy Hamilton's hit BBC Radio 4 comedy, starring Neil Pearson as beleaguered sports PR agent Trevor. 'Funny and very likeable' - Independent 'Nice lines and a superb cast' - Times Welcome back to TS Sports Stars Agency as we rejoin Trevor and Sammy, who continue to deal with their bizarre clientele in their own, very different ways while trying to keep on top of the personal catastrophes going on in the rest of the office. Sammy's moral compass is still pointing a little south of the truth as he justifies chasing 'unreasonable' traffic wardens and endeavours to romance lesbian receptionist Heidrun. Trevor, meanwhile, is trying to keep his scruples while grappling with a racist young tennis star, a psychotic footballer with a penchant for threesomes with Brazilian twins, an over-the-hill rugby veteran and an obnoxious Paralympics medal winner. Barry, as ever, is the thorn in everyone's side, and on top of everything, Trevor's estranged wife Meryl is writing a novel about the collapse of a fictional marriage that sounds a little too familiar... This second series of the Radio 4 show from the pen of Andy Hamilton reunites the staff of the TS office, along with guest appearances from Jake Wood ('EastEnders') and Gina Yashere, for a deliciously witty journey through the cut-throat world of sporting celebrity.

The complete first series of Andy Hamilton's hilarious sitcom set just before the American War of Independence. 'refreshingly different comedy' - Observer Baltimore, 1770, and shopkeeper Samuel Oliphant is worried. There are weevils in his biscuits, the impending war looks set to impact badly on his business ('dead people tend to shop less') and to cap it all, a pair of British soldiers have been billeted on him. Captain Brimshaw is ineffectual but decent, while Sergeant McGurk is a corrupt multiple amputee. Together with Oliphant's family - elder daughter Cora and her insufferably pompous fiancé Ezekiel; younger daughter Mary, a passionate revolutionary; and son Joshua, who is large and dim - they make life increasingly difficult for the beleaguered Samuel. In these six episodes, Samuel plays host to the two redcoats, Mary tries to start a mutiny at her sister's wedding (while the bride drinks herself under the table), and Samuel's crooked brother turns up and inveigles Joshua into a prize fight. In addition, revolutionary orator Nathaniel Hopkins arrives and has designs on Mary, Cora discovers she is pregnant, and feared British commander General Venables rides into town demanding executions at sunset (so that he has all day to look forward to them). Starring Jay Tarses, James Fleet and Andy Hamilton, 'Revolting People' is a feast of daft puns, literary silliness and bayonet-sharp political satire.
