Fair point. :-)  We're on series 5 at the moment, such a shame the 
earlier series were mostly lost.

Or "milk", indeed. ;-)

Yeah - now I haven't heard Round the Horne, will have to look for it. :-)

There are a few pretty decent collections available online, reportedly in 
the public domain now.  The recordings of Series 5 onward seem to be 
pretty decent quality, but the few remaining episodes from series 4 are 
not hard to listen to, just the volume level's a bit low.

And of course there are scripts online, mostly transcripts from people 
listening to the shows.

More properly, "Duirt me leat go raibh me breoite". :-)

I'm sure that I've got quite a few somewhere, not to hand unfortunately. :(

I do have all of the "Hamish And Dougal's", a lot of "Navy Larks" and one or ten
"I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue's"
