Published in 2012 so only covers the first series.  (No battle of Waterloo) Mostly the episode transcripts with some extras but i havent listened to the radio series for many years so can't confirm. Has made me want to listen again though! Very funny. Interesting that in the acknowledgements at the end i found out Finnemore was one of the Copenhagen actors when it was done in the theatre, when reading it through i was already thinking Copenhagen sounds so Finnemore-ish!

Cutely done, charmingly transgressive, a little less actual history than I was hoping for.

You don't expect a satire love story about warhorses to break your heart, but then op there you go and there are tears all over the place. One of the most random, funny reads expertly well done.
