Agatha Raisin's current audio book is on BBC radio.
In my humble opinion that was a bad version of Agatha Christie’s “Mirror Cracked’ Gummy, having read the book I think Julia McKemzie as Miss Marple in the 2010 TV film was much truer to the story. I agree Tony Curtis is always good value.
I remember when the film “Davy Crockett came out in 1955, I was a ten year old kid, the film was a sensation over here, every boy (and even some girls) wanted to have a Davy Crocket hat, no cat was safe in the neighbourhood (I’m exaggerating of course, don’t want to be lynched by the cat folks on here)
My mother made me one from an old fox fur her Aunt had left her, remember those horrible things? a dead fox hanging over the shoulders with the four legs drooping down the front. She made a great job of the hat and I was as proud as punch walking down the street with it on.

The Tea machine was out of order in Sainsburys this morning, no hot water, I usually exchange a funny with the guy, who serves on the till and he usually has a valid response, but this morning I left him bereft of a response, I pointed at the machine and said, "That geezer needs sorting out".
