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. :-)

There's an FTP server in Japan (I forget the URL) that hosts many of the 
episodes, but they ask that you not scrape everything in one go.

Absolutely true.  Listening to Harry crack up is almost half the fun.  :-)

Wait a minute Eccles, my good man...	It's writted on this bit of 
paper, what is eight o'clock, is writted.  Supposing when somebody asks 
you the time, it isn't eight o'clock?

There was something came up in one of the episodes we listened to over 
the last couple evenings that I had wanted to use, and now I've forgotted 
what it is!

"You rotten swine you! You have - no, wait a minute. Feels both knee-
caps, sees feet in usual position. I'm not deaded this week! Tee-hee-hee! 
Thinks: I'm a happy-go-lucky lad."
