Test post only - ignore.

Hmmmmm.  This is odd.  I posted a full listing for the revised Volumes 1-4 box and the new Volume 5 set yesterday and it hasn't appeared?

Technical guys - any ideas?

All the best

Andrew

You can also check out the listing on www.amazon.co.uk.  Search for "I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again" to find the listings for the volume 1-4 box set and volume 5, which is a separate CD.  Amazon's still showing a Feb 5th release date for both of them.

I've got a listing of which episodes are in vols 1-4 in my Goodies Illustrated Guide.  The main page is www.goodiesillustratedguide.com; you should see a link in the menu for the Radio Show (ISIHAC & ISIRTA) CDs.

I haven't heard anything about the selections for Vol. 5 but I imagine that info might come out as we get closer to the release date.

Just to clarify the situation of the forthcoming "ISIRTA" CD releases from BBC Audiobooks. This is a kick-start of an aborted range of cassette releases from the late 1980s/early 1990s which were dropped through lukewarm sales after four double-tape releases. The plan is that if the forthcoming CDs sell at the required volumes, then "ISIRTA" will join shows like "Dad's Army", "Hancock's Half-Hour", "The Navy Lark", "Round the Horne" and the like in having fully restored season box sets.

The first of the two releases comprises 8 discs with 15 shows and is the contents of the old "ISIRTA" Volumes 1 to 4, but now resequenced chronologically. Thus the shows are:

Volume 1

OK, I'm doing something dumb here and this post(s) isn't coming up properly, but please bear with me because my heart's in the right place...

If you go to Spotted, and go to page 2, it's the thread called 'ISIRTA season 5'.  The set's not out til Feb, apparently.

jodievdw: Methinks there's an ISIRTA box set out soon (or maybe even out already), which would be a more honourable way to acquire it than via the various downloads available.

Where could I get the said box set? At the moment I've resorted to recording them off the Internet...which takes time and I doubt they're all there anyway.

Yep, Prunie, ISIRTA.

ISIRTA is well worth a listen, if you haven't met it before.  Not only is it very funny - especially if you like daft puns - there are there an *amazing* number of jokes and whole sketches which later turn up in Python and the Goodies, and it's an absolute Bill tune-fest.

JessPix : ' I think you need the most up to date Flash Player for it to work, Prune. Otherwise I don't know what else could be wrong, but if you have the episodes then it's from series 2, episode 10. Hope that helps. Jess.

From ISIRTA? Sorry, I'm getting confused. 
Happy New Year everyone.

I'm sorry Prune. I hope someone can help you. I'm not good at helping people with link problems and that sort of thing. The link worked for me.

Thanks Jess for pulling out the relevant information and putting up a link to the clip.
