| Doctor
Who
Sting of the Zygons
The TARDIS lands the Doctor and Martha in the Lake District in
1909, where a small village has been terrorised by a giant, scaly
monster. The search is on for the elusive 'Beast of Westmorland',
and explorers, naturalists and hunters from across the country
descend on the fells. King Edward VII himself is on his way to
join the search, with a knighthood for whoever finds the Beast.
But there is a more sinister presence at work in the Lakes than
a mere monster on the rampage and the Doctor is soon embroiled
in the plans of an old and terrifying enemy. As the hunters become
the hunted, a desperate battle of wits begins - with the future
of the entire world at stake. Reggie Yates (Leo Jones in the TV
series) reads this abridged version of a story written by Stephen
Cole.

Who
The Last Dodo
Civilisations rise and fall, time moves on – and species
die out. Extinction is a fact of life in the universe. But extinction
doesn’t have to be for ever. The TARDIS arrives in the Museum
of the Last Ones – a facility dedicated to preserving the
final specimens of every species in the universe. But the exhibits
are going missing and with them the only chance of resurrecting
lost species. Can the Doctor solve the mystery before the curator
adds the last Time Lord to her collection? Freema Agyeman (Martha
Jones) reads this abridged version of a story written by Jacqueline
Rayner.

Who
Wooden Heart
A seemingly deserted spaceship is spinning in the void of deep
space. Martha and the Doctor set out to explore the drifting tomb
and discover they may not be entirely alone. A bizarre stretch
of wooded countryside appears suddenly within the middle of the
space craft and as the Doctor and Martha journey through the forest,
they find a mysterious, fog-bound village - a village traumatised
by missing children and prophecies of its own destruction. Adjoa
Andoh (who plays Francine Jones in the TV series) reads this abridged
version of a story written by Martin Day.

No
Nightingales, No Snakes
Ireland is neither cursed with snakes nor blessed with nightingales,
and the characters in these five fully dramatised short stories
by Maeve Binchy occupy the same middle ground. In The Night
People Came In For Something That Was No Trouble, Cara's
envy of another couple's disingenuous ease at giving dinner parties
spurs her to plan the perfect 'casual' meal but things don't go
as she intended. In The Stepson Clare struggles to build
a relationship with her husband's son. Decisions at Sea
finds Tessa, an overlooked but good-natured secretary, heading
out on a cruise where she faces a big decision. In The Answer
Machine, Biddy decides that her family need an answering
machine so badly that she'll give it to them before Christmas
but by the time the big day arrives she has some regrets. Finally,
By the Time We Get to Clifden, involves Nessa and husband
Harry who find their plans to go on their annual holiday in Clifden
upset when neighbour Melly seeks their help. These full cast dramatisations
were specially adapted for BBC Radio 4's Woman's Hour
and star Niamh Cusak, Sam Dale and Harry Towb.

| That
Mitchell and Webb Sound: Series 3
David Mitchell and Robert Webb star in the complete third series
of their Sony Award-winning comedy show - as broadcast on BBC
Radio 4. After a successful TV outing, Mitchell and Webb return
to their radio roots and this third fantastic series finds them
in fine form. Meet the Stone Age flint-chippers who reckon bronze
is just a fad; a very unpleasant man who wants to take you out
for a 'little date'; another thrilling adventure with Sir Digby
Chicken Caesar; and the world's most mis-matched rally-driving
couple - 'Your voice makes me want to drive into a tree!'. Whether
sniping at 'citizen journalism', predictable radio plays or reality
TV, here are lots of silly and clever sketches, with laugh-out-loud
humour.

| The
Ken Dodd Show
The Squire of Knotty Ash waves his tickling stick in these four
classic BBC radio episodes that feature much mirth-quaking jokes
and a juggernaut of japes. Ken Dodd gives his own unique take
on topics as diverse as the European Union, sport, the good life,
and people who have shocked the world. There are also favourite
Doddy ballads including Because of You, Morning Please
Don't Come and Love Me With All of Your Heart. Featuring
special guests Gretchen Franklin, Jo Manning Wilson, Hugh Paddick
and Talfryn Thomas. Such a star-studded extravaganza makes Gone
with the Wind seem like a hiccup.

Moths
Ate My Doctor Who Scarf
This is a two-part non-audience version of Toby's successful 2006
Edinburgh show that is currently touring Arts Centres in 2007
as well as a Doctor Who convention in late 2006. Moths
Ate My Doctor Who Scarf is Toby's life story told along the
timeline of Doctor Who history, using smart comedic observations
and excerpts from his teenage diaries. These include how he coped
with being bullied, why he never got the girl, and later how being
such a fan helped to actually get the girl and end up with two
children who are now the envy of every kid in the playground,
all thanks to a geeky obsession.
