Dear Fatty
Summary
Winner of Best Audiobook of the Year, 2009 Shortlisted for the British Book Awards, Biography of the Year, 2009. Dear Fatty is read by Liza Tarbuck at the request of the author. With an introduction from Dawn French. With a sharp eye for comic detail and a wicked ear for the absurdities of life, Dawn French shows just how an RAF girl from the West Country with dreams of becoming a ballerina/bridesmaid/thief rose to become one of the best-loved comedy actresses of our time. Here Dawn French invites us into her most personal relationships with, among others, her mum and dad, her husband, her daughter and her friend Jennifer. Dawn reveals the people, experiences and obsessions that have influenced her and that helped shape her comedy creations - including dogs, grandmas, teenage angst, school, stealing and David Cassidy. She is as open about her fears and sorrows as she is about her delights and joys, and for the first time shares the experience of losing her beloved dad and later finding a tip-topmost chap in Lenny Henry. From raging about class and celebrity to describing the highs and lows of motherhood and friendship, Dear Fatty reveals the surprising life behind the smile.

When the Dog Dies: Complete Series 1
Summary
Ronnie Corbett plays granddad Sandy Hopper in this sitcom which reunites him with the writers of his hit comedy ‘Sorry’ – Ian Davidson and Peter Vincent. Sandy Hopper is growing old happily along with his dog Henry. His grown up children – both married to people Sandy doesn't approve of at all – would like him to move out of the family home so they can get their hands on their money earlier. But Sandy's not having this – he's not moving until the dog dies. And anyway, how can he move if he's got a lodger? His daughter is convinced that his too-attractive lodger Dolores (Liza Tarbuck) is after Sandy and his money. Luckily, Sandy has three grandchildren and sometimes a friendly word – a kindly hand on the shoulder – can really help a Granddad in the 21st century. Man and dog together face a complicated world. There's every chance they'll make it more so.

The Wilsons Save the World: Series 1 and 2
Summary
A full-cast BBC comedy about trying to live ethically and do the right thing written by Marcus Brigstocke and Sarah Morgan. Michael (Brigstocke) and Maxine (Kerry Godliman) Wilson and their teenage daughters, Lola and Cat (plus their bearded dragon, Chomsky, and about 150,000 bees), have resolved to live a cleaner, greener, serener life. They are attempting to live ethically...whatever that means. The Wilsons conscientiously tackle tricky situations and dilemmas, from balancing the need of hot sun on holiday to a carbon-neutral campsite, explaining the pitfalls of online relationships to their daughter by drawing parallels to Brexit or protesting library closures when, according to Cat, everything can be found online anyway. The family, good folk that they are, are trying about 20 percent harder and learning to live with about 19 percent more failure in trying to save the world. They are not giving up.

When the Dog Dies: Series 4
Summary
Ronnie Corbett returns for the final series of the sitcom that reunites him with the writers of his hit comedy Sorry - Ian Davidson and Peter Vincent.
Granddad Sandy Hopper is happily growing old with his dog, Henry, and his lodger, Dolores. But his children think Dolores is a gold digger and are keen for Sandy to downsize - something he promises he'll do 'when the dog dies'. In the meantime, he's busy providing a guiding hand to his family and helping out when (frequent) emergencies occur.
In these six episodes, Dolores goes to live with her new man, leaving Sandy feeling bereft. In addition, he has to deal with both Henry and Calais running away; losing his memory (but remembering some things that are best forgotten); holding auditions for The Sound of Music; and Henry's increasingly odd behaviour (why is he chewing the piano leg?). Could it finally be time for Sandy to do what he's spent four series avoiding - downsize?
Ronnie Corbett stars as Sandy, with Liza Tarbuck as Dolores in this fourth and final series of the popular BBC Radio 4 sitcom.
Playing time: 3 hrs approx.
