wonderful stories well told

Revisado: 06-29-24

This series packs a lot of entertainment into a short listen. The main characters are well drawn and likable. the new characters introduced for each story are defined succinctly and just enough to move the story. Each mystery was well planned and engaging.

Another great Christmas story!

Wonderful narration for a cheerful, uncomplicated story. Not all intelligent stories have to include a dark center. This one was easy listening!

Love this series, over and over again!

The narration beautifully compliments the story. I'm re-listening now with the short stories in their chronological place. Every character is someone I want to know. The action and history are a mind-filled escape.

A wonderful time!

Revisado: 02-17-13

This is a great radio play closely following the BBC T.V. series. The characters are well written and charming. The situations they find themselves in are entertaining without being fantastic or unbelievable and their interactions reveal a very genuine warmth. A healthy dose of sarcasm and self deprecating humor keeps the program from becoming too sweet. I thoroughly enjoyed my time in the company of Lionel and Jean. The only improvement I could ask for is the ability to buy the next few series!

A Great Way to Spend Time in the Garden

If you could sum up Potting On in three words, what would they be?

Delightful, Good Natured, Easy

What did you like best about this story?

The characters were all quite different which helped create entertaining conflict without being mean spirited or negative. The stories were accessible, everyday ordeals that would try anyone but with the lovely addition of great humor.

What does Pam Ayres and Geoffrey Whitehead bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The accents are so much fun for me as an American. They sound like a working class woman and an upper class man which is a delightful additional counterpoint to their personalities; She is hard working and fun loving while he is lazy and self adsorbed. They obviously love each other, though, which makes it much easier to laugh at them.

Any additional comments?

I hope Audible will add additional series of Potting On soon.

What did you love best about Vicar of Dibley 1?

I loved the TV series and this is an audio only version of the show.

What other book might you compare Vicar of Dibley 1 to and why?

The Good Life and Fawlty Towers are two other BBC televion series transferred to audio exactly as aired with the exception of brief narration. The Good Life and Vicar of Dibley are both very warm and funny.

What about Dawn French’s performance did you like?

Dawn French is able to deliver barbs and sarcasm without a hint of malice, never losing that lovely feeling that she genuinely likes these kooky characters

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I had to ration it out slowly since there are (as of yet) no more in the series.

Any additional comments?

I hope audible will make all of these wonderful shows available soon!

Lovely Production

Revisado: 02-07-13

Any additional comments?

This was a charming production of a very funny play. The acting was wonderful with characters who were at once infuriating and endearing. The live audience was a great addition to this audio experience as were the occasional sound effects. Overall, a great play well done.
