Product Description
It's not easy being Satan. There are the long hours (that stretch into eternity), and Hell seems to have more admissions than it can cope with. One of the new arrivals is Edith, a historian, athlete and humanitarian. And she's trouble: she refuses to believe she's dead, she knows Thomas and she's not afraid of Satan.

The Dog's Najjers May 10, 2010
A. C. Howard (Norfolk, UK)
Yet again Andy Hamilton gives us more of his brilliantly observed comedy starring the Professor, Scumspawn and the odious Thomas. With visits from God, Edif Piaf, Elvis, a foul mouthed Jane Austen, permanently pregnant Popes and a whole host of other characters, The Devil (played by Andy H himself) reminds us in comic ways what a really self centred bunch we humans are.
Its not for the "can't-be-bothered-to-listen", video game generation, which is all the better for those looking for more than inane slapstick and cruel parody.
Miss it at your peril, you won't have laughed so much in ages.
Thanks Andy.

Once again the Devil is met with an awkward entrant in the form of Edith who is convinced that she did not commit suicide and so satan must find her murderer. His methods are not exactly normal

If you like Last of the Summer Wine or Allo Allo then you will hate this. It's well written and superbly performed and is so funny that I can't listen while on public transport for fear of laughing out loud and getting strange looks. Don't start here though, treat yourself to the first, sadly incomplete, series on CD and work through the entire collection. I promise you won't regret it as Andy Hamilton is, in my humble opinion, the finest comedy writer of recent years.

I loved this series on Radio 4 and have been enjoying listening to it on Radio 7 but I couldn't wait for them to get back around to Series 6.
Andy Hamilton is a genius - when he is going to write another series?
A fine return to form. May 18, 2008

Old Harry's Game is a great radio comedy that is set in hell and follows the trials and tribulations of Satan played fantasically by the writer Andy Hamilton. For me it is the greatest radio comedy since the marvellous goon show. However, season 5 had seen a rare dip in form due primarily to the loss of one of the main characters the professor but season 6 gets back on track with the character of Edith played by Annette crosby. Edith fills the void left by the professor by doing what he used to do by standing up to the devil and questioning his actions. The difference with Edith though is she was mother in law of the long suffering Thomas which adds an edge to some of the humor. Her being a historian and made to write satans biography is a very good series arc which lets you hear a lot of Andy hamilton's humour on the bible and religion. The series is made up of 3 discs and runs for 3 hours. It is not essential that you listen to the rests of the series (u can't listen to all of the first 4 series as the BBC in their infinite wisdom only realeasd 3 episodes of each series.)as you can still enjoy the humour but I highly recommend that you also listen to the rest. You will not be sorry.
