Tales from the Creepery: 13 Strange and Disturbing Dramas

"A baker’s dozen audio dramas are conjured out of the imagination of author Richard Curtis. Everyday places and situations are the backdrops for tense and unpredictable confrontations. A chance encounter between neighbors in their building’s trash room; a routine visit to a yoga class; a friendly chat in the cardiac recovery ward of a hospital—thirteen commonplace moments escalate into tension, violence—and even death. Patterned after such classic suspense radio programs as Inner Sanctum and The Shadow, Tales from the Creepery promises to wrack your nerves to the breaking point. For bonus content watch the “Postmortem” videos for each episode: https://www.thecreepery.com/bonus-material “You Have a Guest”It isn’t a sin to fantasize about your wife’s sister … or is it? “Get Well Soon”A hospital cardiac ward is the last place you would expect to hear a political quarrel. For Stanley Finster and Roy Janssen, it may well be the last place they hear anything at all. “Affair of the Heart”Roger Barskin left his wife in a doctor’s care. Perhaps the doctor cared a little too much. “Table Reading”Clifford Dimsdorp says he’s been ripped off. If he can’t get his money back, he’ll take his refund in blood. “As I Lay Peeing”Was it a simple medical procedure? Or was it Robert Tandry’s descent into the jaws of Hell? “Rogue Restroom”Boy meets girl in the unlikeliest place—a unisex bathroom, where nothing functions the way it’s supposed to. “Driven”A drive to the country club in a luxurious limo takes a sharp turn into the terrifying unknown. “Have a Nice Transaction”When Stuart encounters a vagrant at the bank, he hears a hard luck story. Whose hard luck, he is about to find out. “Trash Talk”A chance encounter of two neighbors disposing of their garbage produces the sickening odor of danger. “Is it Hot in Here or Is it Just Me?”Just how hot is Hot Yoga? Marty’s love-starved wife Laura is about to find out. “The Client from Hell”The aliens from another world traveled the universe looking in vain for an intelligent race. At last they came to the planet Earth, but alas … they found none there, either. “The Man in the Shuffle”Ralph Miller will do anything to get rid of the voices in his head—anything. Anything! “Godhead”Godhead is the title of a favorite painting that Madeline, the artist, sold in a moment of weakness. Now she wants to meet the man who bought it, to discover if he is worthy of the masterpiece. Is he?"

The Vicar of Dibley: Four Classic TV Soundtracks

"Four classic episodes from the original TV series: Arrival, Songs of Praise, Easter Special and The Christmas Lunch Incident. Welcome to Dibley, a perfect village full of some perfectly peculiar people - including Alice Tinker and her underactive brain, Owen Newitt and his overactive bowels, and Letitia Cropley and her orange cake with Branston pickle icing. Council ruler David Horton has everything running exactly as he wishes - until 102-year-old Reverend Pottle dies. That's when the trouble begins, for the new vicar of Dibley is Geraldine, a babe with a bob and a magnificent bosom. In these instalments, the vicar increases the church-going public, finds something remarkably attractive about television, learns about suffering by giving up chocolate for Lent, and promises herself too many Christmas lunches with too many people. Starring Dawn French, with Gary Waldhorn, James Fleet, Roger Lloyd Pack, Emma Chambers and Trevor Peacock."

Atkinson’s People: A BBC Radio Comedy starring Rowan Atkinson

"Rowan Atkinson stars as many different characters in four episodes from the classic comedy series, written by Rowan Atkinson and Richard Curtis ('Four Weddings and a Funeral', 'Notting Hill'), which investigates the lives of four great - but imaginary - men. We hear about the life and times of master orator, Sir Benjamin Fletcher: writer, statesman, Nobel Prize winner, painter, farmer, diplomat, wit, etc, etc... There’s France’s greatest thinker and philosopher George Dupont; and actor, raconteur and general bore, Sir Corin Basin. Barry Good - the ‘Pope of pop’ - also looks back at his life (before he came a rich tax exile). Produced by Griff Rhys Jones, 'Atkinson’s People' was one of the first radio series ever to star Rowan Atkinson and was a forerunner to the massively successful 'Blackadder' TV series. Rowan Atkinson stars in the spoof radio series which looked at the personalities behind the headlines - co-written by Richard Curtis."

Not The Nine O'Clock News

"Songs and sketches from the groundbreaking BBC comedy series show starring Rowan Atkinson, Griff Rhys Jones, Mel Smith and Pamela Stephenson. 'Not the Nine O’Clock News' is regarded as one of the great classics of British television humour. Written by some of Britain’s finest comedy writers, including Richard Curtis, Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin, the show was innovative, shocking and rude – and extremely funny. Published on CD for the first time, this hilarious compilation includes some of the very best sketches and songs, including ‘(I Like) Trucking’, ‘England My Leotard’, ‘Nice Video (Shame about the Song)’, the ‘Two Ninnies’ song and of course ‘(The Memory) Kinda Lingers’. With its irreverent and outrageous look at everything from TV programmes such as 'Game for a Laugh', 'Question Time' and 'The Two Ronnies' to the Royal Family, pop stars and squashed hedgehogs, this release will appeal to all those who fondly remember the original series, and to anyone else who simply wants to sample some of the sharpest, wittiest comedy around."

The Blackadder

"Through the ages, men of flair, faculty and outstanding courage have contributed to their country's heritage. Others, like the snivelling worm Edmund, Duke of Edinburgh (alias 'The Black Adder'), have emerged from the dust of dodgy documents to claim their wrongful place in history... This historic first series introduced us to Rowan Atkinson's first incarnation as Black Adder - the incompetent, bitter and twisted son of Richard, Duke of York, who, with the help of his trusty (and equally stinky) aide, Baldrick (Tony Robinson), and Percy (Tim McInnerny) begins his slithering journey through the ages, scheming for an easier life, a better position and perhaps even a shot at the throne itself. The original series also stars Brian Blessed as Richard IV, Peter Cook as Richard III, Miriam Margolyes as the Infanta Maria of Spain and Rik Mayall as Mad Gerald. Episodes include: 'The Foretelling', 'The Queen of Spain's Beard', 'Born to Be King', 'Witchsmeller Pursuivant', 'Archbishop' and 'The Black Seal'."

Blackadder II

"England 1558-1603. The filthy genes of the Blackadder dynasty bubble to the surface of history's melting pot as Lord Edmund, arrogant peer-about-town, swaggers with a big head and small beard in search of grace and favour from the stark raving mad Queen Bess. Listen as Lord Blackadder falls in love with a girl named Bob, takes over the job of executioner whilst almost losing his own head, schemes to raise £1,000 to pay off a perverted Bishop, goes on a far-off sea voyage to the remote country of France, and plays charades with a member of the Spanish Inquisition. Rowan Atkinson stars as Blackadder in Richard Curtis' and Ben Elton's award-winning comedy in which, ably hampered by Tony Robinson as the loyal Baldrick, he wreaks havoc throughout the centuries. This collection includes the following episodes: 'Bells', 'Head', 'Potato', 'Money', 'Beer' and 'Chains'."
