In his mid-20s, Jimmy was bored, boring, unfulfilled and underachieving. He wasn't exactly depressed, but he was very sad. Think of a baby owl whose mum has recently died in a windmill accident. He was that sad. This audiobook tells the story of how Jimmy turned it around and got happy, through the redemptive power of dick jokes.

It's not what you know but who you know that matters...and, indeed, how well you know them. The show is a bit like ‘Mr and Mrs’, except that it's not played by husbands and wives. Instead, panellists can pick anyone they like: dad, cousin, best friend, mother-in-law. What is Bridget Christie's worst fear? Or Ainsley Harriott's worst habit? Or Seann Walsh's worst gig? All these burning questions, and more, will be answered in this BBC comedy panel show hosted by Miles Jupp, where panellists are tested on how well they know their nearest and dearest.

The Emperor Domitian has informers everywhere; no-one is safe. He rules Rome with a rod of iron, and he is dangerously unstable and paranoid. In the snake pit of Imperial Rome, all Pliny the Younger wants to do is get his letters ready for publication. Except if he, his mother, their Greek cook Doris (who narrowly missed out on becoming the next Oracle at Delphi), and Venta, their slave with secretarial skills, have any chance of surveying, they are going to have to negotiate a political minefield, keep their eyes peeled for spies and, most of all, not do anything to annoy the Emperor.

Would you provide an alibi for someone you hate? Would you let an annoying colleague take credit for your work if it meant they would get a job elsewhere? Is cheating on your partner ever acceptable?

A comedy sketch show featuring overblown, melodramatic scenes from modern life.

Each episode features a number of these scenarios and along with a core cast of Daniel Rigby, Mike Wozniak, Cariad Lloyd, Henry Paker and Jessica Ransom. Small Scenes also features Sara Pascoe.

Eerie , clever and funny as hell
Strange meat pie conspiracy, “Ians” secretly running the world, the myth of Australia or a “stag-do” seriously out of control - just of few of the mad hilarious visions I enjoyed. Brilliantly earnest performances of life’s small madnesses carried to absurd limits. I listen to this series at least once a year.

Monty Python for the Modern Age
One of the strangest audio experiences I have ever had. It's comedy consisting of very short sketches all enhanced with music and sound effects. It's very similar to Python in that respect because it relies on surrealist humour. I enjoy that kind of thing, though it's probably not for everyone.
Give it a go if you like comedy on acid - that's the best way of describing it.

Best audiobook of the year (so far!)
Funny, quirky, original and so well performed by the cast. I am really rather sad I have have come to the end of the audiobook.
