Kevin Eldon played 2 characters, Dean, the closeted gay dwarf, and Kreech, the evil sidekick of the villian. It's probably not everyone's cup of tea, but I found it very funny.

(Sorry for the empty reply- Hit the wrong button)

I have the first series and can upload if no one else has.
I found it first of all on a sharing site and some of it is a bit 'blurry' and does that digital compressed thing. I bought it from Audible too when I had extra credits but I confess to not having listened to it - I'm scared it will be 'tidied up' and all the intros etc taken out.

HOWEVER
Kevin Eldon is my new hero. Dean, the closet-gay dwarf, is hilarious and his Creech character interacting very well with the Lord Darkness - played by Alistair McGowan -and is very well done. (They almost talk over each other, the way that you would do in a real life conversation.)

I had tickets to go and see the first 4 episodes being recorded but due to other things, I had to let them go. Gutted is not the word. I wrote to the BBC the other week to ask when it was being aired and they told me it hadn't been decided yet.

SO Andrew, you are my new hero for coming up with a date. :-)

I've never heard of this, but it sounds really funny! I'll beg for an upload. :)

Don, thank you very much :-D

I was working on it, but I got stuck in making my Audible .aa files into MP3s. If anyone has any hints or links to a good tutorial, I'd appreciate that.
Kirsty.

Audibles .aa format is a file format with embedded copy protection management. A general, failsafe way of "removing" any such protections (audio as well as video) is simply to direct the output from a player to file instead of hardware.

But there's software that converts your Audible files. A search on wikipedia returned a handful suggestions I bet all are easy to use: TuneBite, SoundTaxi, Daniusoft Media Converter Ultimate, NoteCable (sound recording) and Phantom Burner, NoteBurner, Tune4Mac (virtual CD burning).

thanks for uploading Elvenquest to the site Don - I'm glad it can get shared around.

I've just listened to the first episode of the second series which was broadcast on Radio 4 Thursday 18th November - I hope you get to hear it Kristy - it was very funny & as good as the first series. Don seems to be able to get these so presumably he'll upload the second series in the future too.
