Good collection for fans of The Goodies

This intriguing collection of Bunter stories and memoirs may be of special interest to fans of The Goodies, the award-winning TV show starring Tim Brooke-Taylor, Graeme Garden and Bill Oddie in surreal comedy sketches. The six BIlly Bunter Stories included here are read by those same three; moreover, they had all previously performed in a Bunter spoof as members of the cast of the BBC radio comedy show I'm Sorry I'll Read That Again (ISIRTA S08 E05 Billy Bunter Of Greyfriars School).

I always enjoyed the Bunter books since the 1950's and was very impressed by the TV series starring Gerald Campion, who was the perfect Bunter. Kynaston Reeves was great as Quelch, in spite of fluffing his lines. Amazing how the author wrote so many books/stories. I understand he was in the Guinness Book of Records, for writing so many. I still read them occasionally, in my 70's as they're good stories and still laugh at some of the humour.
