Thanks NS.

Some cracking stuff here. I'll start with Wind in the Willows. Personal favourite.

Given the timings they obviously are not all fully complete versions but still a good resource. It would be great if the BBC were to put up as much of A Book at Bedtime as they have.

Also would like them to put all available Plays for Today up.

My husband read the unabridged version of 'Wind in the Willows' to our eldest girl when she was 18 months old. She really enjoyed the book and kept asking him to read more of it. :)

There is an excellent podcast called 'Criminal' and the presenter of that, Phoebe Judge, has a new one called 'Phobe reads a mystery' - she reads a chapter per podcast. To date you can listen to:

The Hound of the Baskervilles.
The Moonstone.
Murder on the Links.
The Leavenworth Case.
