Summary

The man they call 'Britain�s Funniest Milton', Milton Jones, stars in his own sitcom set in a house which Milton shares with his long-suffering sister Susan (played by Olivia Colman ("Mitchell & Webb"))and her slightly useless husband Ian. Above them is the house�s owner, their daffy Aunt Dilys (played by Rosemary Leach) and below them, in the basement, lives the ever-smooth ever-competent Anton (Tom Goodman-Hill ('The Office', 'Spamalot')).

In the first episode, it�s time to decorate! The carpet hasn�t been changed since the Sixties and there�s big holes in it - probably where someone dropped a lot of acid. And Milton discovers that "Hint Of Apricot" is a paint colour not a flavour of yoghurt. Doesn�t stop him having three bowls though... Episode 2 and Susan & Ian are going on a second honeymoon - that�s if they can get Milton out of the boot of their car. And in the third episode, Susan & Ian are planning an intimate dinner party for a few friends. "Of course, the guests can always eat nibbles..." - but unfortunately, Nibbles is the name of Milton�s hamster. Episode 4, and Milton discovers a strange kink in his bloodline which means he�s the rightful Duke of Eastern Wales. He�s also given the keys to the city of Wrexham, mainly because no-one else wants them. Episode 5, and a bar of gold, a power drill and a pancake alarm combine confusingly as Milton accidentally holds up a bank and ends up on trial for his very freedom. If only he could stop giggling at the fact that the judge is secretly wearing a wig... And in the final episode, Milton tries to organize a party for his nephews, and somehow gets tangled up with a stampeding rhino, and a skywriting Spitfire...

"Milton Jones is one of Britain�s best gagsmiths with a flair for creating daft yet perfect one-liners." (The Guardian.)

"If you haven�t caught up with Jones yet - do so!" - (The Daily Mail)

Classic Milton Jones

If you enjoy Milton Jones, this is essential listening. If you don’t, well, best avoided. There is a slight difference from his other radio shows, in that this is more a traditional sitcom with numerous characters and a story each episode, rather than being just a vehicle for Milton’s puns. One extra pleasure here is that a central character is played by Olivia Coleman, who has since gone on to one or two other things and hence doesn’t really need an intro. You can certainly discern her talent here - able to hit the right note and convey a great deal with a single line or sometimes just a single word, much like she did as the evil godmother in Fleabag.

waste of money

Out of all the things I have bought from Audible this has to be the worst. Not funny in any way. Huge waste of cash.
