Pushing paper is never more tolerable than when I have awesome shit to listen to. Thank the Baby Jesus on this Easter Eve that HE sent us all blessings in the form of the amazing Dawn French and Jennifer Saunders doing what they do best. Being so Goddamn funny, And thank HIM that The BBC gave them a bunch of 2 hour RADIO slots to entertain the shit out of the entire world. Or at least those of us outside of the UK with internet. The BBC keeps these shows up for 7 days and then… they evaporate into the cosmos – never to be heard from again, presumably. That just doesn’t sit right. Once I listened to the first three shows, giggled like crazy, enjoyed a few days at work like never before, and managed to find them online before they disappeared, I was bound and determined to find and share future programs to be enjoyed at your leisure – at home, at work, on your ipod and on your new-to-you Volkswagen Jetta’s 6disc MP3 friendly player on your way to and fro Springfield, IL via old Route 66. Without further ado, here are links to French and Saunders BBC Radio 2 programs to download. Enjoy.

You’re terrific for doing this. Spread the laughs…they’re so much fun. I think I forgot how to laugh for a minute. Thanks for giving me something that reminded me! Hilarious.
Made a long car journey tolerable. Ive been searching for the christmas ones for hours, thank you so much!
Also your missing the last bit of Jan 3rd, its not important but by the way it says part Im kinda hopeful, do you have it available?
Hi Paul,
Glad to help! Also I just re-listened to my copy of the January 3rd and it’s definitely all there – it even starts to go into BBC news before fading out. I didn’t rip that one, I downloaded it from Couchtripper (which seems to be gone now) but the original download link is here – http://ifile.it/qiyraxg/French%20and%20Saunders%20-%202011-01-03%20-%20%20Kate%20Rusby%20and%20Judy%20Craymer%20%5Bcouchtripper%5D.mp3 Hope that works for you!
Ahhh I figured it out. My upload didn’t complete correctly. I reuploaded and now it’s all there. So now all of the links above are complete and working. Thanks for letting me know!
Yay! French & Saunders forever! For Everyone!
Thanks, About to listen to the last special of this block!
Do you happen to have the latest that aired this weekend? Much thanks!
Soon! I’m still editing out the BBC news breaks and am hoping to have it up tonight or tomorrow. I haven’t even listened yet. Can’t wait.
It was good hearing them again but Christmas is the next time they will be on
Updated with most recent episode. Enjoy!
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Thank you! I’d heard the earlier ones, but missed the later ones, because of not being vigilant! Looking forward to hours of happy listening. Many many thanks!
omg Thank you so much for these!!!
You are very welcome!
You are a sweetheart for for giving us these…i missed them the first time, but i’m looking forward to hearing them now
Thank you so much for uploading these
May I ask if you have the Christmas Day show you may be able to upload sometime ? Merci.
New Episode uploaded! (Yes of course! I wouldn’t want an incomplete collection after all. I’ll try to get it up in the next day or two. And there are two more holiday shows coming up!)
Thank you SOOOOOOO much. You’re a sweetie!!
Happy New Year
Thank you so much for these.. I love listening to them at night whne I am confined to the dishes:) WIll you posting the other two?? (Jan 1st and Jan 2nd)
Of course! Coming very soon.
thank you so much for the French and Saunders downloads. They are great!!!!!
Will you still be able to post the jan 2nd one with everything going with the internet as of late, you think? (I know, i fully accept how annoying i’m being.. i apologize:)
Megaupload has been taken down and I would love to get hold of these, could you possibly upload them again on Mediafire or something?
I, too, was wondering if you could re-upload any of the radio programmes since the hosting site has gone down. I would love to listen to the newer episodes but I can’t seem to find them anywhere at all. It would be much appreciated. Sorry to be a bother and I totally understand if you can’t.
Cheers.
Yes, I’m working on it now. I’ll try to work backwards and get the most recent up today if possible.
ahhh I forgot about the January 2nd one too. Soon.
Aw, great idea with this. I’d be very grateful for re-uploads, too. And thankful for sharing them ad putting them up for fans! You are a sweetie! xxx
All but the first three are now updated.
I <3 you! Thank you, darling!
yay!!! Jan 2nd is much anticipated in my house:) Your work is very much appreciated indeed..:)
Jan 2nd still in your thoughts by any chance???
I might be able to send you the missing ones, if you want.
Thanks so much–we actually have versions somewhere, just have to find time to get them back up.
