Described by the Radio Times as ‘a brilliant observer of the domestic scene, a master reporter of life as we know it’, Al Read’s weekly show drew audiences of 35 million during the 1950s and ‘60s. 

Born in Salford in 1909, Al started life as a sausage manufacturer, having inherited the family’s meat-processing factory.

His comedy developed from his sales patter and after-dinner speeches and he described his humour as ‘pictures of life’.

He drew on his working-class roots to come up with catchphrases such as ‘Right Monkey’ and ‘You’ll be lucky, I’ll say, you’ll be lucky’.

The rich Northern humour really stands the test of time, as this collection of four shows from the ‘50s hilariously demonstrates.

Have you always loved reading but sometimes find it hard to find the time? Theres nothing quite like curling up with a good book but many of us cant do that as much as wed like. We sacrifice this special time because we have so many other things to do each day. Its a common problem and its the reason why people on average are not reading as much as they once did. Audio books bring the story to life just as the storytellers of the past did. They allow you to experience the book in a whole new way; in the way the writer felt and heard it in their head. You can feel the emotion when you allow audio books to let the story come to life.
