Topic: For your listening pleasure: The Masterson Inheritance

I'm saving BikerDon some time--- I recently uploaded The Masterson Inheritance for friend, so links were ready to share!


Just  go to Links, then Other Programs, and you will find a folder called "The Masterson Inheritance. Inside is  a link  to a self-extracting rar that contains all three series, the two Christmas episodes and the "lost" episode.  (click here for everything!) 


But wait, there's more: I've also posted links to three archives containing:

Series 1 and the first Christmas Episode. (or click here!) 
Series 2 (or click here!) 
Series 3, the second Christmas episode, and the "lost" episode."  (clicky!) 

 They're all on megaupload, except for the big "mess o' mastersons," which is on gigasize.  I'll upload to another service as well.  

I love this program.  And most people I've forced into listening have as well.
In case you've not met the Mastersons, there is a wonderful program guide here: 

 The Masterson Inheritance was an improvised comedy series broadcast on BBC Radio 4 between 1993 and 1995. It was billed as "an improvised historical saga of a family at war with itself. No script, no rehearsals, just an audience and a couple of microphones." There were three series and two Christmas specials....and one "lost" episode never broadcast. The reasons will become clear once you take a listen!


All episodes starred:

Josie Lawrence
Paul Merton
Phelim McDermott
 Caroline Quentin
 Lee Simpson
 Jim Sweeney

If I had to pick a favorite program, well, I'd pick two. Probably "Masterson Rides Again" from the third series, and "The Mastersons Go Down" from the second series.

I know this has a real cult following but I've never heard one - so I'll
have to have a listen.

I hope you enjoy it!

Hmmm. It's been a bit since I've listened to the first episode ----I'm
not certain it's the best of the bunch. Does anyone remember? I'd hate
for Dean (or anyone!) to start with a dog of a story!

I'm off to New Zealand for three weeks, and will have an old ipod full
of MI, JAM, ISIHAC, and various other treats for the flights, and the
long drives. (have no fear, a slightly newer one will have loads of
music!!) I'll also be listening to the radio, of course...looking
forward to hearing how my compatriots over there do things!

I've only heard a few here and there, but I've been dying to hear more.  but from what I have heard, it is very funny and enjoyable.  I think you'll like it, as it showcases the exceptional improv abilities of Paul Merton and company.
