Little Women

Little Women is constructed as a series of episodes which are almost complete stories in their own right. Incidents in the lives of the March sisters act as fables, each illustrating a moral point. In her novel, Louisa May Alcott describes her characters' daily lives, creating a patchwork picture of genteel poverty in mid-19th-century America. Meg works as a governess, Jo as a companion and all the women of the family sew, knit, mend and engage in charitable works. So, Alcott creates a true-to-life backdrop to her engaging tale.

Louisa May Alcott (Author), Connie Booth (Narrator)

Fawlty Towers: Volumes 1-3 of the hit BBC comedy

Fawlty Towers has become a landmark in comedy history, with its twelve episodes being shown again and again on television. These four episodes feature more of the hilarious antics of Basil, Sybil, Polly and the hapless Manuel. In 'Communication Problems', Basil has to contend with Mrs Richards, a deaf battle-axe who leaves her hearing aid off to conserve batteries. But, even his whispers are picked up by Sybil, especially when it comes to a certain horse running in a certain race. In 'The Hotel Inspectors', news that hotel inspectors are in the area sends Basil into a frenzy of excessive rudeness and then, believing one of the guests is an inspector, excessive fawning. 'Basil the Rat' sees Manuel getting a new pet, but Basil thinks the 'Siberian Hamster' is nothing more than a rat - just what he doesn't need with a public health inspector on the loose. And in 'The Builders', Basil soon finds out why O'Reilly and his men come cheap when he scraps Sybil's builder in favour of his own. Will he be able to repair the damage before Sybil returns? With John Cleese, Prunella Scales, Andrew Sachs and Connie Booth. Llinking narration by Andrew Sachs.

Fawlty Towers: Volumes 1-3 of the hit BBC comedy

Fawlty Towers has become a landmark in comedy history with its twelve episodes being shown again and again on television. This collection contains four more episodes featuring the antics of Basil, Sybil, Polly and the hapless Manuel. In 'The Kipper and the Corpse', when a guest dies in his bed, it's only the beginning of Basil's problems as he tries to hide the body and the dodgy kippers which may have led to the guest's demise. 'The Germans' sees Basil trying to cope while Sybil is in hospital, but soon everything is in chaos and a deranged Basil does the funny walk for a group of German tourists. In 'Waldorf Salad', quality customer service has never been one of Basil's strong points, so when an American guest demands the comforts of home, Basil's blood pressure reaches boiling point. And in 'Gourmet Night', the cream of Torquay society turns out for a gourmet night. Expectations are high but so is the chef, leaving Basil to hunt down a suitable main course. Also contains extracts from an interview with John Cleese.

Laugh along with the misadventures of Basil, Sybil, Polly and the hapless Manuel in these four episodes. In 'A Touch of Class', Basil's dream of attracting a classy clientele come true when Lord Melbury arrives. There's nothing Basil won't do for his Lordship, but titles can be deceiving...
