About this listen
The man they call 'Britain's Funniest Milton' stars in series 5 of his acclaimed show Thanks a Lot, Milton Jones!
Mention Milton Jones to most people and the first thing they think is 'Help!'. Milton Jones is a man who can help anyone, anywhere - whether they need it or not. Because, in his own words, there's ''no problem too problemy''. When you're close to the edge, then Milton can give you a push...
The show comes from Pozzitive, proud producers of Cabin Pressure, Jeremy Hardy Speaks To The Nation, The Brig Society, Armando Iannucci's Charm Offensive, Shush! & Kevin Eldon Will See You Now. Co-starring Tom Goodman-Hill ('Mr Selfridge', 'Humans'), Josie Lawrence ('Who's Line Is It Anyway?'), Dan Tetsell ('Upstart Crow') & Justin Edwards ('The Thick Of It').
In the first episode "Hair Today, Goal Tomorrow" Milton accidentally invents a new hair tonic with surprising powers, the local football team can't wait to see the highlights...
In episode two "The Repair Bear Bunch" Milton opens a cherished items repair shop, but soon discovers he's bitten off more than he can mend...
In the third episode "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Dai" Milton is recruited by the kindliest Secret Service in the world to oversee a tense spy swap on the Severn Bridge.
In episode four "The Living Museum" in an effort to save the High Street and show off the town's historic heritage Milton decides to make an exhibition of himself.
In the fifth episode "Thanks Allotment, Milton Jones!" Milton is fed up with the local veg box delivery and decides to get an allotment. But when's he smells something fishy it's time to dig a little deeper...
And in the final episode "Space Age In Aisle Three" when Milton's old school friend becomes a retail billionaire, it's time to take a shopping trolley to the stars...

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
Separated by 10 years, 3,000 miles, and the unrelenting stresses of adulthood, best friends Janet and Serena plan a 40th birthday girls’ trip to reconnect. But after a massive crash, they’re the only survivors to wash ashore on an uncharted Caribbean Island. Armed with only the clothes on their backs and zero survival skills, they fight to overcome hunger, thirst, deadly wildlife—and most terrifyingly—decades of accrued resentment. Can they find their way home, or will they kill each other first?

Story
In this award-winning Audible Studios production, Trevor Noah tells his wild coming-of-age tale during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa. It’s a story that begins with his mother throwing him from a moving van to save him from a potentially fatal dispute with gangsters, then follows the budding comedian’s path to self-discovery through episodes both poignant and comical.

Story
Traumatized by the bombing of Dresden at the time he had been imprisoned, Pilgrim drifts through all events and history, sometimes deeply implicated, sometimes a witness. He is surrounded by Vonnegut's usual large cast of continuing characters (notably here the hack science fiction writer Kilgore Trout and the alien Tralfamadorians, who oversee his life and remind him constantly that there is no causation, no order, no motive to existence).

Story
A bad best man’s speech can ruin a wedding. Why do we plan every detail of a perfect day and then give the groom’s idiot best friend five minutes of total power? Enter Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself (and the newlyweds), Nate uses his list of don’ts: Don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out. Nate’s system never fails. That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun).
