Also at 2am if you're up at that time! I will try and record the 5 episodes to MP3 if I can get a decent quality signal.
What a shame they aren't broadcasting a version narrated by Ransome himself. Somewhere the BBC have him reading 'The Soldier and Death', part of which was broadcast within another program on Ransome last year. An older program broadcast a very short snippet of a lecture on trout flies too.
It was a very spiritual moment when I first heard his voice in those recordings....
