Quite some time ago links were posted on here for audio books of the show. Some were just the audio from the first eight series. Others had an extra commentary / narration by Peter Sallis. I did not see them recently after a quick search, will try again later. Glad I dl'ed back then.
With doing some long distance driving over the previous holidays I had decided to put the LotSW audio books on a thumb-drive to have a listen to and pass the time. Had not done this before because I did not want to get distracted or lost in the show. Something I tend to do while watching the TV show when I should be paying attention to the road! Thankfully the show did not prove the distraction I feared and they made for a very pleasant 3 hour drive.
After re-labeling the episodes with Clegg narrating to separate them out from the episodes that were just an audio copy of the normal show. I noticed something interesting about the audio books of LotSW with Clegg's commentary.
- Six of them were from series 4, episodes 1, 2, 4, 5, 8 plus the special Small Tune on a Penny Wassail.
- Two from series 5, episode 1 plus the special A Dewhurst up a Fir Tree.
- Four of them were from series 20, episodes 2, 4, 7, 8.
What has me curious is why the narrow focus on just three seasons for Peter's commentary? Out of 31 seasons in the entire series only 3 were chosen for his narration. I figured the selected for commentary ones would be more randomly chosen throughout the whole range of episodes. Just wondered why those 3 with the emphasis on series 4. Not saying there is anything wrong with them.
Are there more available episodes out there with Peter giving narration? If so I would like to get copies. Enjoy hearing Peter talk and relish his commentary of the show.
