    Giles has been grounded! Budleigh Salterton’s most famous citizen has been forced to stay at home by the Home Office - and his father. But something minor like that won’t dent Giles’s enthusiasm, so in this fourth series of Giles Wemmbley Hogg Goes Off, he sets up GWH Travvel ("two ‘m’s, two ‘g’s, two ‘v’s - bit of a mix up at the printers"). Run from his bedroom, GWH Travvel is a one-stop Travel/Advice/Events Management/Website service, which always stays true to its motto: "We go there so you won’t want to". Helped by his ex-primary school teacher Mr Timmis, Giles advises people on how to pack a rucksack ("If in doubt, put it in. And double it"), and even helps someone find a zebra for a corporate promotion. Series highlights include going to Greece to rescue some GWH Travvel punters that he’d accidentally put in harm’s way, an Agatha Christie-style septuagenarian hen night Murder on the Orient Express and a Vegas Road Trip featuring a powerful Jacuzzi and some sparkly Germans. This complete BBC Radio 4 series also co-stars Catherine Tate, Celia Imrie, Alison Steadman, and Morwenna Banks. Also available are: Giles Wemmbley Hogg Goes Off, the first BBC Radio 4 series, which includes these four episodes: 'The Sudan', 'Bolivia', 'The Arctic', and 'Thailand', and features Melanie Giedroyc and Doon MacKichan. Giles Wemmbley Hogg Goes Off: Series 2, the complete second radio series, features David Mitchell and Catherine Tate and includes these six episodes: 'Tanzania', 'Germany', 'Cuba', 'Egypt', 'India', and 'New Zealand'. Giles Wemmbley Hogg Goes Off: Series 3 features Catherine Tate, Miranda Hart, Jessica Stevenson, and James Fleet; Giles has a bash at some new jobs, in Scotland, Tokyo, the Alps, Russia, and Ireland. Language: English. Narrator: Marcus Brigstocke, Catherine Tate, Miranda Hart, Jessica Stevenson, James Fleet. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/rt/bbcw/003436/rt_bbcw_003436_sample.mp3.

    Jeremy Hardy returns with a brand-new series that not only seconds that emotion but explains it, too. Yes, BBC Radio 4's most passionate polemicist returns to the airwaves with a new format which promises to be both personal and profound, and to present sides of Jeremy you won't have heard before. He may even sing. (He won't sing.) The News Quiz and I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue regular, proud progenitor of 10 series of Jeremy Hardy Speaks to the Nation, and winner of numerous awards and almost certainly the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, Jeremy is famous for lines like: 'Kids should never be fashion slaves, especially in the Far East. My 12-year-old daughter asked me for a new pair of trainers. I told her she was old enough to go out and make her own' and, 'Islam is no weirder than Christianity. Both are just Judaism with the jokes taken out.' His unique worldview once lead him to be likened to 'an incendiary vicar'. Gillian Reynolds called him 'an idealist, a dissenter, a polemicist and moralist - he's a salutary reminder that jokes can, and should, be about big things'. The show is produced by Jeremy's long-standing accomplice, David Tyler, whose radio credits include Cabin Pressure, John Finnemore's Double Acts, Thanks a Lot, Milton Jones!, Marcus Brigstocke's The Brig Society, Kevin Eldon Will See You Now, Armando Iannucci's Charm Offensive, Giles Wemmbley Hogg Goes Off, The Castle, The 99p Challenge, Deep Trouble, My First Planet, Radio Active and Bigipedia. His TV credits include Paul Merton - the Series, Spitting Image, Absolutely, The Paul Calf Video Diary, Coogan's Run and executive producing Victoria Wood's Dinnerladies. In the four shows, Jeremy is feeling, in turn, happy, sad, fearful and, finally, hopeful! Language: English. Narrator: Jeremy Hardy.
