J KINGSTON PLATT - WHAT COULD GO WRONG?
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Sadly the sound quality at 32kbps is no better than dodgy internet sites out there - and given the price tag it is poor value for money. There is no way to transfer to an MP3 player and at three hours plus no track markings or index points - stick to the repeats on BBC 4 Extra where you can just love Peter Jones' wonderful creation in all his glory.

The unsung genius of British comedy
Peter Jones, who you may have seen in various bit parts in classic English 50’s movies (but very probably not) or perhaps heard on BBC Radio 4’s Just a Minute (more likely but still probably not) was simply a beautiful human being and I’ll fight anyone that says otherwise.

The late Peter Jones in full flight.
Actor Peter Jones as his alter-ego. Perfect prose delivered perfectly. A must for fans of the great man of the British theatre.

Brilliant comic monologues
The audio presentation is scrappy (no gaps between the chapters, no titles for the chapters) but never mind, these are totally brilliant comic monologues. Writing, delivery--you will rarely hear anything this good.

Brilliantly funny and exceptional narration.
What a pity that there is no more of this. amusing, light hearted comedy. Absolutely unmissable.

Surprisingly good
I mostly knew Peter Jones as the narrator in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy radio shows, so I kind of got this one on a whim, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Well-written, well-read, and quite funny in spots - made me wish he'd written more, actually. Worth getting!
