Promenade Rock: A BBC Radio Comedy Drama
"Hilarious comedy caper set in Wales during the heyday of the Great British seaside holiday Set up the deckchair, pop a hanky on your head and order an ice-cream with a flake, as you settle in for a hilarious trip to Llantwit-on-Sea. It’s the 1950s, the Great British holiday is booming and recently widowed Eirlys Richards runs a lively boarding house in this Welsh seaside town. Wanting to spice up her life, Eirlys welcomes a lover into her holiday haven, however her other three lovers have something to say about this… Pet poodles, passionate chefs, hair-brained business schemes and brass playing bandmasters all vie for the enigmatic Eirlys’s attention in this fast paced and funny comedy drama packed full of charming characters and the laugh-out-loud situations they get themselves into. What did deckchair attendant Cox’n Hughes do to be barred from the local fisherman’s club, will the Punch and Judy auditions go smoothly and when will the lascivious town clerk get his comeuppance…? Written by Christopher Denys and starring Nerys Hughes as Eirlys Richards, best known for her roles in BBC TV series The Liver Birds and The District Nurse, and Russell Boulter (The Bill) as Matthew Dolan, this delightful comedy celebrates the best of Wales with a cast of memorable characters.

D. H. Lawrence: A BBC Radio Collection: 14 dramatisations and radio readings including Lady Chatterl
"Dramatisations and readings of selected works by DH Lawrence – plus a radio play by Dan Allum and two bonus documentaries exploring Lawrence’s life and writings Crowned ‘the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation’ by EM Forster, DH Lawrence has an undisputed place in England's canon of great authors. In this wide-ranging collection, dramatisations and readings of some of his major works are brought together, exploring themes such as romantic love and sexual desire, individual freedom, class division, war, the beauty of nature and the ugliness of industrialisation. This rich and varied anthology contains the radio productions of five of Lawrence’s classic novels, and nine short stories and novellas. It includes: Goose Fair, The Christening, Daughters of the Vicar, Her Turn, Love Among the Haystacks, The Shades of Spring, Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow, Women in Love, The Fox, The Ladybird, Kangaroo, Rawdon’s Roof and Lady Chatterley’s Lover. Also featured is an original radio drama by Dan Allum, The Gypsy (inspired by Lawrence’s The Virgin and the Gypsy), while two bonus radio documentaries – Great Lives and Michael Rosen: On the Trail of DH Lawrence – provide further insight into the inner life of the controversial author. Due to the archive nature of these recordings, sound quality may vary. With thanks to Keith Wickham, Greg Linden and Roy McMillan."
