Anyone listen to much, got any recommendations? I've been meaning to try some BBC stuff after being into it thanks to the Doctor Who and other ranges from Big Finish.
Incidentally any Doctor Who and theatre fans might appreciate the latest Paul McGann series of box sets. Alongside him are Nicola Walker, Hattie Morahan, Alex Kingston, Tim McMullan, Janie Dee, Robert Bathurst, John Heffernan & Mark Bonar.

Love BBC Radio 4 stuff in general - whatever I catch, it's almost always good. Recently was very moved by Cillian Murphy readings of some of the Roald Dahl's short stories about war pilots.
My all time faves remain The Turing Test with Sam Barnett as Alan Turing and The Success Story feat. Geoffrey Streatfeild. iHole read by Andrew Scott is an unforgettable gem too!
I sometimes enjoy listening to audiobooks more rather than reading books. Especially when you go, say, guys like Neil Gaiman or Philip Pullman narrating their own stories. Sublime.

I tend to listen to drama plays on podcasts like Campfire Radio. BBC radio downloads are great.

If you like Paul McGann, he reads quite a few audio books. Most notably Pat Barkers 'Regeneration' trilogy and Bernard Cornwel's Sharpe series.
David Tennant also does loads of audio work. There are cd's available of the BBC Radio productions of Twelfth Night, Much Ado About Nothing, Mansfield Park among others.
Check out Amazon, some are only available as downloads.
Also BBC Radio 4 has a Drama of the Week, which can be downloaded.
