Anyone remember this - its an old radio show from 1971-2 ish. Starring Arthur Lowe, Ian Lavender & Kenneth Conner. Its all about a sleepy railway station somewhere north of London (Lowe being the somewhat pompous station manager of course)

Ive recently discovered it and its had me creased up - its one of the series that had most of its episodes wiped, but thanks to the wonders of the internet almost all of them have been retrieved. Ive d/l'd them burned them to cd & had them on in the car whilst we were out and about today :D

Typical gentle British humour from a long lost age.
 
I vaguely remember the show.

if you want to listen again.
 
Thanks, will have a listen later.:)
 
If you are interested in old tv & radio shows the missing episodes forum is worth a look, although its depressing just how much stuff has been deleted over the years

Its a good day when they announce a new find tho!

Unfortunately the archive sites don't have any links to the one show I used to listen to as a spotty oik.

Just two links to episode sections, nothing more, plus some info on Radio4 Extra. Maybe it will return to BBC7 at some point.

Some of The Burkiss Way is available via Amazon.

Yay, found a *ahem* torrent ysterday and now have the complete series (1.1GB) which means the ten or so cassette tapes I had can finally be recycled.
 
Ive got most of the way through Parsley Sidings now whilst pottering around the area in the car, and it really is rather good.
 
On a related note ...
Still a few episodes wiped and missing from that much loved favourite ..
Dads Army ..
If only they would turn up and complete the set ...
A few did over the years ...but many gaps particularly in the 2nd and third series ..still exist ..
I'd hate to think these were still in someones attic degrading as I type this..
It just shows the somewhat blinkered attitude to archiving...of Auntie ..back in the day..

They simply don't like it 'up 'em'...
cest la vie
 
Dads Army has 3 missing eps - all from series 2.

So if anyone has
