About this listen

Writer, poet, and broadcaster Pam Ayres has been making her fans smile for more than 30 years, since her first television appearance on Opportunity Knocks. Now some of her best sketches, verses and songs are brought together in this complete collection of series 1-6 of her Radio 4 show, Ayres on the Air .

Each series consists of 4 episodes, with Pam performing witty and wonderful pieces on subjects as diverse as getting older, shopping and a surfeit of beige, bored chickens and school plays. With each sketch, she delights and entertains in a way that is unique to this very special broadcaster.

I was unaware of the radio programme series when originally broadcast but came across them later. Pam’s way of describing life and events in her inimitable way is so clever, managing to sum up all our emotions, experiences and hopes and dreams in verse. I’ve listened to the episodes multiple times and enjoy every one immensely.

It started a bit 'Radio 4', twee and corny, but just got better and better. I wish there was a TV show with Pam, Gordon and Felicity.

Pam Ayres is pure heaven!
