Welcome back to late 80s/early 90s comedy. This is all 4 seasons of the TV series, littered with wordplay & subversive humour. They wouldn't get away with broadcasting a lot of this in the 2020s, but comedy has developed over the decades and this is a product of it's time and was pushing boundaries.

If you love Round the Horne then listen to its predecessor. This is where it all began.
Very enjoyable listen in the car

If you looking to this as a garden manual what to do when and how, then this isn’t for you.
These are short chapters of Monty’s musings on various gardening topics, ranging from pests & problems to the beauty of roses, fruits & veg and everything in between. This is easy listening to a man passionate about his garden.

If, like me, you enjoyed the Darling Buds of May then this a really enjoyable sequel with the further adventures of Pop, Ma and the rest of the Larkin brood.
The most enjoyable part is Philip Franks easy, fluent recital of the story which really draws you in.

PG Wodehouse at his best with endearing stories from a bygone era. Jonathan Cecil’s narration is engaging and keeps you listening.
A great addition for any PGW fans.

Always delightful to hear Sir Terry's work, Nigel Planer nails the voice for Rincewind and reads the story beautifully well.

18 episodes of Naval fun, 4 not so much.

Out of the 22 episodes I only dislike 4, 2 are not episodes but stage performances celebrating certain anniversaries with the BBC & 2 are for the Embassy Lark, which is distinctly weaker than the Navy Lark.
I am sure they will have their fans, but just weren't for me.
great value and a good edition to add with the other Navy Lark releases.
Left hand down a bit
