I'm thinking of starting to listen to BBC radio shows again. There are still a few episodes of Paul Temple that I must finish and i have a few theatrical programmes. Can anyone recommend others? I like plays (usually classics, or ones set in fantacy lands or Ruritania), things about the upper class, the Regency, historical documentaries, nature, science fiction, strange or unusual stories, children's programmes, etc. I generally prefer happy stories. I have no interest in war (unless it's history), violence, obscenities, what some call gritty realism, politics (minus histtory), and so on. My goal is almost always to listen to and to collect things in Received Pronunciation, and extra points if it's Upper RP.

@d4doome I enjoy immensely Durbridge's Paul Temple radio dramas, now occasionally rebroadcast on BBC Radio 4 Extra on BBC Sounds. The Paul Temple radio dramas sometimes had a 'James Bond' feel, with exotic locales and suspicious characters speaking in foreign accents.

Also, I thought I read somewhere that Durbridge saw himself as a writer of dialogue and had help with the novelisations. Any indication/recognition of such help in this novel?
