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.

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"

I'll have to have a wee search by the sounds of it.

Last resort, I think, the sound of the cast struggling to get their lines out
through their own giggling is just too priceless!

We listened to a fair number of ISIHAC episodes after Humph died.  
Probably the better part of 20 years' worth.  Hamish & Dougal - yeah, 
listened through those as well.  Those guys are a trip. :-)

Navy Larks - another I haven't heard of, going to have to start making a 
list. :-)
