"Pam Ayres has a quality of fun which glows ever more brightly as newer, lesser entertainers make their bid for stardom" --- The Scotsman

Just over thirty years ago, a little-known poet named Pam Ayres made her debut on the ITV talent show Opportunity Knocks. Since then, she has taken the nation by storm, entertaining millions of people with her books, stage shows and radio and television appearances.

Her first BBC Radio 4 series, Ayres on the Air, was a huge success, and this second series proves to be every bit as droll and delightful. A mix of comic poetry, sketches, and observations on life, each programme is themed around a different subject: Fame, Animals, Travel, Motherhood, The Old Days, and Food.

Here are much-loved poems such as "Do You Think Bruce Springsteen would fancy me?" "I'm  Going to Be Surgically Enhanced", "Clamp the Mighty Limpet", "How Can That Be My Baby?", "The Dolly on the Dustcart", "With These Hands" and "Thoughts of a Late-Night Knitter"; and sketches about the frustration of calling rail enquiry lines, cracking the art of text messaging, and trying to stick to a diet.

These six programmes show the inimitable Pam Ayres at her warmest and wittiest, and are guarenteed to amuse and delight her many fans.

Oscar Wilde's first play confronts the hypocrisy of public 'morality' compared with genuine, private kindness.

When it opened in 1892, Lady Windermere's Fan was an instant success and now, a century later, it continues to be revived frequently. The reasons for its popularity are not difficult to identify: the play's witty dialogue contains many of Wilde's most quoted aphorisms, its stylish setting provides opportunities for elegant presentation, and its cast of memorable characters play out a story which is genuinely moving.

This new audiobook production brings together a cast worthy of Wilde's creative genius.
