      They are just the recordings (unless they have been re-done in recent years). Some scenes are cut from the recording, since they rely too heavily on visual gags.

      I have series 3 on tape somewhere.

        I think it'd be ok, I remember reading Asimov when I was not much older than that, and if your lad has already done Hitchhiker's and Red Dwarf then I reckon he'd be fine.

        Anyone else have a view on this?

          I read some when I was around 13, but I only read a few, so I don't know if there is much difference in content across his pretty prolific output.

              Foundation is no more complex than the robot stories.

              The tapes have cool sound effects and music too!

              It's quite rare these days but here's one

                I've got it on CD... listened to it and still haven't quite got into it... you're welcome to have it if you want it

                I don't know if he'd get the Mighty Boosh at all but you never know. We're really struggling for audio books these days. Most books don't get transferred to Braille or CD, and the ones that end up on CD cost £20 for a book that would normally cost about £8. We've just started on that Audible website - they seem to have quite a range.
                Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

                I preferred version 1!

                    There might be some "freely available" on btjunkie, but that would not be something that I condone.

                      The Radio 4 Dramatisations of Pratchett's stuff are usually pretty good. Also, of course, there's the Lord Of The Rings - 13 hours of it!
