To the last reviewer;

What did you expect from an audiobook?

The hanging gardens of Babylon perhaps?

Herds of wildebeest streaming majestically across the water?

it's audio directly taken from the TV show with additional narration to paint the picture.

It kinda works and kinda doesn't

I loved this as a kid and still love it now I’m old and a bit wrinkly. What I dearly love is the little clips of narration by Andrew Sachs, which link the visual funnies to your aural experience. The added interview with John Cleese before every episodes serves to further enrich this collection. Loved it so much!

Translates well to audio form

Fantastic show and works great on audio which some people feel doesn’t work as well TV. I had the shows on vinyl and always loved them and with Manuel helping out with scenes that need a little audio help, it sets up each episode well.
My only gripe is the commentary at the beginning of each episode, first time round it’s okay but repeat listens makes the whole thing a little tiresome especially as it can be almost 5 minutes each episode. I just wish this could be turned off.

Other than that it’s the actually episodes are great and well worth the purchase.

Shame about the commentary
