Meet Clare Barker, the social worker who likes nothing more than sorting out other people's problems (while failing to deal with her own). Wracked with guilt over being white, middle-class and heterosexual, she has a dedicated social conscience (unless it's inconvenient for her) and lives to interfere in other people's lives—both on a personal and professional basis. Bearing the brunt of her control freakery and lack of self-awareness are her family, colleagues and long-suffering teacher partner, Brian—all of whom have their own frustrations, disappointments and dramas.

Meet the hapless management consultants of Unthinkable Solutions - idealistic team leader Ryan, sociopathic Sophie and hippy-dippy Daisy. Enthusiastic and enterprising, they’re strong on jargon (and always ready to ‘imaginate, reincentivise and skin the leopard’), but short on practical ideas - unfortunately for the unsuspecting corporations that come to them for help.

Arch-Brutalist Sir Lucien founded his architectural practice on a commitment to brutalist concrete in all its forms. But fashion has been a cruel mistress, and four decades later things are not going well for Sir Lucien and his loyal(ish) employees. With no money and no commissions, times are tough – but it’s onwards and upwards (and upwards again) for the staff, as they go all out to win new contracts, deal with nightmare clients and fight to get their ambitious projects past the planners.

The complete series 1 and 2 of the smart and surreal sketch comedy from Tom Basden, Stefan Golaszewski, Tim Key and Lloyd Woolf. In this complete collection of BBC Radio 4 series of Cowards, a batch of hapless and hopeful nearly-men battle with the challenge of everyday life, doing their very best to meet the demands of the modern world. Bikes start talking, genies appear that force you to guess what your three wishes are, bridges across the channel are built out of Lego, Parky loses it and a young man tries to audition for Barbara Windsor’s part in EastEnders.

Publisher's Summary
All three series of the critically acclaimed BBC Radio 4 sitcom about a group of young idealists who set up a new political party - plus special Christmas episode
Disillusioned with the capitalist system, five ambitious students set out to make waves and change the face of democracy. Holding their meetings in a garden shed, budding politician Jared, ideas engine Simon, socialist firebrand Mel, image conscious materialist Phoebe and communications tsar Duncan wrangle with the modern political machine and attempt to lay the foundations of a new movement. Or they would, if only they had a pen.
From the perils of choosing a party name, leader and constitution to the finer points of foreign policy and climate change, the team contend with the highs and lows of political life while trying to keep their ideals intact. They soon find that changing the world is harder than they thought - especially when dealing with undercooked BBQ sausages, rained-out protest marches, the possible relocation of a key party member and a crucial radio interview.
Also included is a 2018 Christmas special where the wannabe political agitators reunite after a six-year break and once again apply their small minds to big problems. This time, they’re taking on Donald Trump…
Written by Tom Basden (who stars as Simon), Party is based on his 2009 play which won a Fringe First Award at the Edinburgh Festival. Also starring are Anna Crilly as Mel, Tim Key as Duncan, Johnny Sweet as Jared and Katy Wix as Phoebe.
Produced by Julia McKenzie

Great show - dodgy audiobook!
I really enjoyed this show on the radio but this audiobook does not include all of the episodes as claimed. It duplicates a couple of the episodes within the audiobook and these duplicates are provided instead of a couple of other episodes, so I felt a bit short-changed by my purchase.
Still - funny show from the bbc.

WARNING THIS IS NOT THE COMPLETE SERIES!!!!!!;
Although I loved this series on R4 I had to rate it as 1star to warn that this is not the complete series. A typical example is that Chapter 1(which sets the scene for the whole series) is actually Chaper 4 and Chapter 4 is Chapter 4. Other chapters are similarly duplicated and hence some missed out. Very very bad.

Party: The Complete Series 1-3
I had been looking forward to this release, unfortunatly it did not live up to expectations.
Episode 4 is repeated in place of episode 1. Episode 7 is repeated as episode 5.

Incorrect order
I like this show but the chapters are not in the order of the radio series. Chapter 1 is the episode where there is a protest outside council offices and not the episode where Duncan attends his first meeting.

Brilliant show let down by sloppy editing
Why have Audible repeated episodes within this audiobook??? Happening far too often of late.
The show is spectacular, Audible needs to focus when organising it's audiobooks.

Very very funny but...
Have had to dock one star because of the irritating canned laughter shoved into every crevice. Honestly it was funny all on its own and I’m pretty sure that grownups know when to laugh at a funny joke all by tjemelves. They can’t even edit the repeated block of laughter correctly so you get this burst of laughing that is suddenly cut off at the end every time. Once you’ve noticed it, it’s unfortunately pretty much all you hear...

Great show
Consistently very funny, just a shame there are only two series. All five actors are excellent and there are some very quotable lines.
