"When a woman's husband is killed, you're susposed to do something about it."

Phil (short for Philomena) Byrnes and her husband ran their Gloucester MA detective agency until he was killed at his desk. It's not a case of her stepping into his spot to keep the family business running  -- she was a working detective long before his death -- and she makes for a refreshingly prickly widow.

Now Phil runs the agency with the help of her assistant Buzzy, with occasional forays to Papa's Bar, for a little liquid refreshment now and then, and some occasional paternal advice from Papa. She's also helped out in her investigation by Detective Jim Colman, a member of Gloucester's finest, who has a soft spot for Phil, though she seems largely unaware of it. Evidently she's still trying to come to terms with her husband's murder.

THE COLONIAL RADIO THEATRE presents A PHIL BYRNES MYSTERY. Starring DIANE CAPEN. JAMES TURNER. J.T. TURNER and the Colonial Radio Players. Written by Sable Jak. Produced by Chris Snyder and Matt McLaren. Music By Jeffrey Gage. Directed by Jerry Robbins. (c)2006 by Sable Jak (P) 2006 by CRT

Anecdotes, jokes, poems and sketches from the ever-entertaining Pam Ayres

Writer, poet and broadcaster Pam Ayres has been making her fans smile for more than thirty years since her first television appearance on Opportunity Knocks. This recording is taken from four of Pam's live shows for her BBC Radio 4 series Ayres On The Air, and is packed with her usual mix of comic poetry, prose and droll observations on life.

Pam Ayres has recently been 'rediscovered' via her appearances on Radio 4's just a Minute, That Reminds Me and Loose Ends, and Ayres On The Air has been celebrated on both Pick of the Week and Feedback. She regularly tours both the UK and abroad, performing to sell-out audiences.

Here, Pam can be heard delighting her public on such topics as holidays, families, ageing and country living. With sketches about being 'Topless at 60', getting shingles up the Orinoco and the joys of buying a tractor; and poems including 'The Wonderbra', 'Littering', 'Poor Dad' and 'The Voice at the Foot of the Stairs', this collection showcases one of the nation's most popular poets at her very best.
