Sporting Pastimes Gazette: A lively jog through the history of the British at Play. A full-cast audio

A lively jog through the British Sporting Calendar as we eavesdrop on some of the most memorable and fascinating events of the British at play. From marble games to water speed records, from fox hunting to ballooning and from cock fighting to the very British sport of… hopping, told entirely in the words of those who were there.

It is a highly enjoyable collection. Some pieces are just dazzling - Independent on Sunday

An extraordinary series... deserves a medal. The readers are all excellent and many of them distinguished - The Spectator From the same stable that produced The Chronicle, my favourite audio this year, I've just listened equally spellbound to a compilation of travellers' tales at home - The Guardian
