I've just found this... but youre in luck!
I record BBC7 every Sunday Morning between 2.30 and 6.00 on Sky Plus and thankfully its in this slot...
I'll get these shows as they come on.
Spent a delightful few hours last night transferring my first batch of BBC7 recordings to MP3 so feeling a bit tired today.
Just for the record, I found these recordings that have featured DA actors recently...
FRANK WILLIAMS
Radio Tarbuck (1971)
BILL PERTWEE
Jimmy's Cricket Team (1990) Two Shows featured on Retrospectives from Eddie Braben and Mike Craig
The Show With Ten Legs (1975) From Eddie Braben Retrospective
The Worst Show On The Wireless (1973) From Eddie Braben Retrospective
JOHN LAURIE
The Ken Dodd Show (1963) From Eddie Braben Retrospective
I've also recently recorded the five episodes of Tony's from 1979 featuring John Laurie though I've yet to copy these over onto MP3.
Anybody else aware of any other shows featuring members of the DA team?

This is currently back on BBC Sounds - first two episodes are a little drawn out but have some nice moments and Donald Hewlett and Michael Knowles are brilliant

Thanks for the heads up about this, Andy. I've grabbed them and just need to listen to them now.  |

I've now heard the first two episodes and, while it's entertaining and Hewlett and Knowles are their expected good value, I agree with you Andy about those two episodes. They take probably twice as long as necessary to get to the point they do at the end of Episode 2.
However, I'm enjoying it and will keep listening.
For anyone interested, the original broadcasts of the 8 episodes of Anything Legal were as follows:
Mondays
12.11.1984
19.11.1984
26.11.1984
3.12.1984
10.12.1984
17.12.1984
31.12.1984
7.1.1985
All broadcasts were on BBC Radio 2 at 12.27pm, with a repeat at 6.30pm on the day after each broadcast.

Ah the good old days when Radio 2 broadcast comedy!
Did you notice the Anything Legal song which appears at the end of the first episode sung by Donald and Michael? It doesn't appear to be on the next two shows!

I have only listened to episode one, I did not really find it funny. Does it improve as the series goes on?

It's a different pace from their TV collaborations, a bit of light comedy. Must admit I'm rather enjoying it. Not compulsive listening but certainly amusing. Episode 6 now live: www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/b0089hl7 |

George was pottering about underneath the sink in episode seven and got his ears stuck. Wonder where I've heard that storyline before?  I expected Charles to come away with Walker's 'Water on the knee, tap on the head' line! |
