Audiobooks from the BBC Archives

The BBC has an archive of audio delights stretching back to the dawn of radio. BBC audio books present classic radio shows, plays and dramatizations of books in the high quality you would expect from the BBC. From classic gems such as The Goon Show to the latest like Little Britain, there is a wealth of talent available to suit all tastes whether you want to relive a childhood favorite or try something new you’ll find plenty to choose from in the BBC’s catalogue of audio books.
Rather than merely being an alternative to reading, audio books, especially those presented by the BBC, offer an entirely different experience and one that many find far more relaxing than reading. Furthermore the pace of many peoples lives allows far more opportunities to enjoy an audio book, when traveling or exercising for example, than to sit down and read.
Audio books have taken the whole world by storm as you can now listen rather than read any of your favorite books while doing other things that don’t require your undivided attention, for example when doing laundry or walking the dog or even when exercising. It is multitasking to relax while you are working; what else can you ask for.
