From this weekend's Daily Telegraph and Sunday Telegraph...



Free on Saturday, October 2, pick up a free Audiobook of Yes Minister at WHSmith high street stores.

Enjoy complete unedited radio soundtracks from the original series Open Government written by Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn; The Writing on the Wall plus, The PM's Plan written by Margaret Thatcher and Bernard Ingham.

After years in opposition a new party is in power. The new Minister thinks he is the government but Sir Humphrey Appleby, Permanent Secretary, knows that it is he and his civil service colleagues who actually run the country.
An inexperienced and gullible Minister puts forward plans in English, and is frustrated by his chief civil servant, who speaks Red Tape.
With help from Bernard Woolley, stuck between his political boss and the master of his career, the Minister gradually learns to master the situation. . .or does he?

And in The Sunday Telegraph on October 3, pick up your free Audiobook of Yes Prime Minister at WHSmith high street stores, which features the complete unedited script from episodes, The Grand Design and A Conflict of Interests.
Caught off-guard by the sudden retirement of the Prime Minister, Sir Humphrey and his civil service allies soon get their house-trained minister, James Hacker, elevated to the top job.
Following a series of circumstances involving the Eurosausage, the Home Secretary’s drink driving and the Chancellor’s dalliances with a shady lady from Argentina, Minister for Administrative Affairs Jim Hacker finds himself elevated to Number 10 Downing Street without being quite sure how he got there.
But life as Prime Minister is no easier than being a Minister; Hacker still finds his every move challenged by the Civil Service as represented by his new Cabinet Secretary, the ever-wily and manipulative Sir Humphrey Appleby, who is as equally determined that nothing should change as Hacker is that changes should be made.
Wandering nervously between them is Bernard Wooley, Hacker’s private secretary, who continues juggling his responsibilities to his political master with his loyalties to his Civil Service colleagues.

Alternatively, from Saturday, October 2 until October 31, 2010 you can order a box set of audiobooks, which will include 12 specially selected episodes from both series at the fantastic price of £12.99.

From Saturday October 9th, vouchers will be printed in the Daily Mail/Mail on Sunday and discs available at Tesco, WHSmith and Eason stores.

Doctors Tinkle and Kilmore have a record most executioners would be proud of and Matron could bring the dead back to life, simply by shrieking at them while the nurses are always raising the blood

Carry On Camping

Carry On Up The Khyber

Those of you who have been at this for some time will be aware that the Daily Mail follows where the Sun/News of the World has been before. As far as I can see, the following have not been given away before:

Carry on Camping, Carry on Matron, Carry on Don't Lose Your Head and Carry on Up the Jungle.

Two of those were back in the early days of DVD giveaways:
Carry on Camping - News of the World 17 July 2005
Carry on Matron - The Sun 25 October 2003

But I don't think Carry on Don't Lose Your Head or Carry on Up the Jungle have been given away before. In any event it's a great selection of films following on from the recent Elvis and Cliff collections.
