Only 31 more to go gang and I hope you're enjoying this.  Special thanks to John Lingard for his work.

David Bles always likes it when we have a good long brunch ... well dave this one's for you.  If you miss the days of brunches so unstructured yet structured this one is for you.  We'll begin with a Navy Lark redo as we listen again to The Povey's Move House from 8/1/65 thanks Julie Anne for this.  We'll then conclude the Viking Way and conclude eaarthsearch.  So sit back and relax.  Next week a good old fashioned war drama.

John Lingard continues his reading of this fine little known work of the renowned espionage specialist.  Enjoy

This week we continue Navy Lark and you hear what happens when Capt Povey is ill.  We then begin a new series called The Viking Way in which we'll learn about the Norse invaders of Britain and we'll conclude with Earthsearch and New Blood find out what happens when the Challenger's crew are given meat for the first time.

Here for your pleasure John Lingard continues his marvelous work with The Naïve and Sentimental Lover.  Enjoy

Nice ong Brunch this week ... Dave Bales this is what you remember about this show.  We start with Navy lark and the Povys are moving house.  We sorry for the dreadful sound quality but it's the quality of the show that we hope wins the day.  We then have an original two parter that thanks to Radio 6 has been moved to one episode Little Girl Blue The Janice Joplin story.  We conclude with earthseaarch.  Will Thordin and the Angels conquer Earth?  Enjoy.

Yes it's our seventh season of babt however in case you're wondering it's a whole new year, a whole new book and therefore a whole new beginning.  This time before we continue the Smiley Chronicles we along with John LeCarre take a break from espionage as we present The Naive And Sentimental Lover so comme ... enter the mind of Aldo Cassidy.  This book is wonderfully presented by co host John Lingard from our bwtb Lincoln England studios with an intro by Matt Cox evvery week just to keep you informed on what's going on.  I think we'll need it.  This is not pg Woodhouse.  Enjoy
