don't listen to this in the car you will crash! November 6, 2008
Ms. S. L. Dickson (Marylebone, London UK)
I made the mistake of getting this and thinking it would pass the time on a long motorway journey.
Huge error on my part! I was discovered by a very kind traffic police officer on the hard shoulder of the M6 crying. He thought there was something terribly wrong with me! I had been laughing so much that I could not see and thought it best to pull over before I crashed and ended up face to face with the man himself.
The police officer let me go with the advice 'please do not listen to that while driving again.'
Following this experience I used to plan my week around the radio 4 airing of the next series (then series 3). I would sit happily for 30mins each week listening to this in my car - usually in a motorway layby or carpark somewhere. I cannot recommend this to cheer you up enough. A tonic for sure!
Can't wait to get series 3 and 4!
I would also recommend listening to it more than once as you will miss some jokes the first time around. A true joy.
And finally- the beginning September 30, 2008

At last the Beeb has reissued series 1 +2 in their entirety to replace the 50% selection they previously served up in "collection one". Consisting of 2 plastic boxes of 3 CDs each in a superfluous cardboard cover, we finally get to revisit the full narrative of this inventive series.
In series one, the Devil, assisted by the demon, Gary, starts to question his reason for being when an amiable Physics professor (who sees only the best in people) is condemned to the infernal regions solely on the basis of his atheism. The person who killed the Professor and died in the same car crash, Thomas Crimp, is a more typically nasty minded human. A water board chairman who really did sell his own grandmother, Satan has no issue with inflicting unpleasant tortures upon him! As a result Thomas goads Gary the demon to insurrection and inadvertently invokes the wrath of the almighty (Nigel) and it's a cold day in hell....
In series two, Satan is interviewing for the post of replacement assistant. Candidates include Chuckles the dolphin, the Emperor Nero and the ever eager to please, Scumspawn the demon. The professor, ever optimistic, tries to redeem Thomas.
Totally delicious, please can we have the full version of series 3+4 quick?
