ARCHIVE EDITIONS
now available on CD!

 

A Message from Mr. South:

 

My winter evening treat is to settle down and play back some of the hundreds of Dennis episodes Pete Sayers and I made together over almost 20 years.  Because they often tell tales and involve characters I had half forgotten, they take me by surprise and I find myself laughing out loud because I didn’t know what was coming next.

 

In the belief that old fans and new converts to our Grunty Fen insanity might care to share a few such nostalgic evenings, Miss Edwards and I have decided to start an ARCHIVE EDITIONS series of which we now proudly launch the first two CDs.

 

Each CD will sample a run of episodes covering a few weeks so that we get a sense of the period they come from.

 

I hope you may share my delight at how well they stand up to the test of time, with topical references to Crattendune, say, or the Millennium celebrations that have become part of history.

 

ARCHIVE EDITION ONE

 

This covers six episodes broadcast during November and December 2004.  
It kicks off with The Light Harvest Festival, then there’s the sticky story of Gran’s Toffee, the touching tale of Effie Pepperdine, the tragi-comedy of Dennis and Maudie at the coal-yard Christmas party and, for very good measure, the famous two episodes examining in embarrassing detail how Dennis made a fool of me at my own profession.

 

ARCHIVE EDITION TWO

 

This covers five episodes broadcast in November and December 1999. 
It starts with a classic: Dennis explains the popularity of Doc Wallace among patients who are perfectly well,
then two episodes about unreliable fen archaeology
before we get to a couple of episodes hinging on the Millennium celebrations.

 

Only £5 each
plus 50p per item post and packing up to £1.50
