yuletide sign-ups are open! (I have my requests ready, I think (ha), but offers - I want to make sure I am ok to write whatever I offer, because I'm so bad at managing fic lately.)
3. I have finished Vivat Rex! I honestly didn't know what other things I listened to once I realised I was finally at the end - I've been going through it since June.
Anyway, I got to the last episode, and being halfway through Henry VIII with Robert Lang, Sian Phillips, Diana Rigg, Jack May and Stephen Murray, I did not expect any new cast members. VR, of course, immediately wheeled out John Gielgud.
(The answer to what I listened to next was obv: I went back to my Martin Jarvis Saturday Night Theatre collection instead, but anyway, wow, that was a ride. I think LotR is still my favourite radio, but VR was truly amazing and I enjoyed it so much.)

That's delightful.
So what have you been getting out of Martin Jarvis and Saturday nights?

I haven't actually seen him in all that much and, of course, never in an audio-only thing, and it really did underline what an absolutely marvellous voice he had.

Not much, given my usual slow audio progress, but the one I had on my mp3 player ready is a late 1960s one called Father and Son about Johan Strauss the elder and younger, and he is playing the younger. It has only just reached a place where the YOunger was old enough to switch to actually being Martin Jarvis. There's a lot of music. :-)
