Really Rather Good! February 22, 2010
J. A. Flowers (Lancs, UK)
I bought the Volume 1 version (series 1 & 2 but only 6 episodes) as soon as I could. The most funny and entertaining long series listening I've ever enjoyed. I've been loving that and the rest on the radio. As soon as they came out to buy, I got them. From series 5 the discs were released as 'complete' and are all very good.
To now get the complete series 1 and 2 is a welcome re-invigoration of the original release. I'm enjoying it all again and will be giving my edited (original cd) versions to someone who deserves a laugh.
Off to buy the 'complete' series 3&4 (or volume 2) so I can have more fun with the demons of Hell and our beloved Satan (Any Hamilton, before you get ideas about me)
I would recommend this to anyone who wants an intellectual belly-laugh.
I can see if one HAD to choose 3 out of 6 for each of series 1 & 2 why the Eds chose the ones they did. However I really do appreciate the full story.
Buy this, laugh yourself silly!

Old Harry's Game is Sheer Genius October 20, 2009

I came by Old Harry's game by accident and what serendipity it was. In one word the series is excellent. That is an overworked adjective and to be honest does not do justice to the brilliant writer Andy Hamilton. I believe Hamilton himself has said that it could never translate to television and he is right. Television just isn't big enough for the sheer breath and depth of Hamilton's brilliant creation. Myriad characters from history flit in and out each with wonderful one liners or fantastic descriptions. Who else would depict Jane Austin as a foul mouthed slattern? Hamilton flits in and out of our world and has a 'satanic' view of the world. The cast is excellent and fully supports the world play, cut and thrust. And my how Hamilton can turn a phrase or joke. One almost has to stop the CD to let the laugh finish before another comedic equal gem follows. As to Hamilton for me he really brings a brilliant facet to his major part yet is generous to give the support cast fantastic dialogue. You finish each episode with regret rather than relief to some comedy shows I could mention. Everything is perfect in this hell setting in that it is overcrowded, funny, just in that certain types get there just punishments.. The 8 month pregnant Popes for one. Hamilton pokes just enough fun without it being too cruel. Cruel? Did I mention the punishments?
This series is an absolute gem and if you have just discovered it recently you're in for a wonderful ride thru the 8 series.
For once 5 stars do not do it justice. It's a perfect ten
Andy Hamilton, comedy god May 20, 2009

This is one of the funniest series ever written for the radio. No-one does radio comedy better than Andy Hamilton - the man is a god. Who would have thought that so much fun could be derived from a situation comedy set in Hell with a limited cast of characters? There are endless jokes here - from broad puns to witty topical allusions. It's the kind of thing that makes you welcome a long car journey, so you can listen to it all over again.
 Old Harry's Game revisited. May 1, 2009

I bought the complete series of 'Old Harry's Game' to keep in reserve for when I need cheering up. I have not yet listened to all of the CDs but the ones that I have heard live up to my recollection of the series from Radio 4. i.e. very funny.
