A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation starring Peter Sallis, as the great Belgian detective. Tyrannical millionaire, Simeon Lee has been estranged from most of his family for years. But now, on Christmas Eve, the old man calls them all together once more. Unable to disobey, the children gather uneasily and wonder what their father's intentions are. Does he want to clear up past misunderstandings or cause fresh mischief? Before they can find out, a deafening crash is heard overhead. Rushing upstairs, they discover a shocking sight: Simeon Lee is lying in a pool of blood, his throat cut. But it is the strangest thing the door has been locked from the inside and there is no trace of the murderer. With so many possible suspects, it is lucky for Superintendent Sugden that the Chief Constable has his old friend Hercule Poirot staying with him. It seems to be an impossible case. But, as Poirot knows only too well, things aren't always as they seem.

James Joyce's gargantuan masterwork, Ulysses, has been deemed the best novel of the twentieth century by the Modern Library. Ulysses' stream-of-consciousness technique, careful structuring, and experimental prose, full of puns, parodies, and allusions, as well as its rich characterizations and broad humor, made the book a highly regarded novel in the Modernist pantheon.  Ulysses chronicles the passage of Leopold Bloom through Dublin during an ordinary day, June 16, 1904. The book parallels and alludes to Odysseus (Latinised into Ulysses), the hero of Homer's Odyssey, including correspondences between Leopold Bloom and Odysseus, Molly Bloom and Penelope, and   Stephen Dedalus and Telemachus.   Joyce fans worldwide now celebrate June 16 as Bloomsday.

'A pint? That's nearly an armful!' This classic line has echoed through the halls of comedy legend since it was first uttered by Anthony Aloysius St John Hancock in The Blood Donor. Now the original soundtrack from that famous episode is collected together with three others from the same series featuring a guest cast including Michael Aspel, Patrick Cargill, June Whitfield, Frank Thornton and Hugh Lloyd. Whilst The Bedsitter finds Hancock alone and loveless in his room for one, The Bowmans sees him joining (not to mention upsetting) the cast of a certain radio soap opera which may sound familiar to fans of The Archers...As The Radio Ham he enters the world of the amateur wireless buff, and in The Blood Donor he dutifully turns up to 'Give It So That Others May Live' - but does the hospital really need quite so much of it? 2 CDs. 2 hrs.
