POB on BBC Radio

To celebrate O'Brian's birthday, Radio 4's Bookclub program discussed Master & Commander this month.

And on Radio 4 Extra they are serializing both M&C

(Dramatized with full cast)

and The Surgeon's Mate
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04t98s0/episodes/guide
(Read by someone called Benedict Cumberbatch)

I'm not sure if these are available outside the UK, but I hope so.

They are, thank you (radio is available outside the UK, TV not). I am a bit late, but I can still catch a few (7) episodes of The Surgeons Mate.
They'll drop off the air in the next few days, though, bit by bit.
