This is a 3 CD collection of Highlights from Ronnie Barker's comedy career.
Synopsis:
'To get a job where the only thing you have to do in your career is to make people laugh...well, it's the best job in the world,' says Ronnie Barker. And few are better at it, as this compilation of highlights from over three decades in radio and television shows. From his early radio career in shows, such as "The Navy Lark" and "Lines From My Grandfather's Forehad" to his television successes "The Frost Report", "Porridge, Open All Hours" and, of course, "The Two Ronnies", it's Barker at his brilliant best.
A BBC Radio full-cast dramatization of the legend that has haunted the imagination of millions for over a hundred years! Summoned to the forbidden heart of the Carpathian mountains, in the depths of Transylvania, Jonathan Harker journeys to Castle Dracula. There he becomes the unwitting prisoner of the mysterious nobleman whom local legend insists is Nosferatu, the vampire. Frederick Jaeger, Phyllis Logan and Bernard Holley are amongst the cast of this radio production, with specially composed music performed by Malcolm McKee.
April 2011 5 episodes of 15 minutes Charles Dance leads the cast as the urbane Storyteller in dramatisations of five classic tales by Roald Dahl, taken from the anthology, Kiss, Kiss. Bizarre and amusing by turns, these black comedies are justly famous for their surprise endings. The stories show Dahl at the height of his powers as a writer of adult fiction, and are characterized by their deliciously cynical view of human nature and the relish with which they punish the charlatans, bullies and schemers who inhabit their world.
