DENNIS OF GRUNTY FEN
CATALOGUE
of his CDs and other memorabilia (Maps, Bookmarks and 7” Vinyl Single)
CDs:
Tha’s All In Ya Loif: Go back to the very beginning when Mr South first ventured through the rank fronds of Grunty Fen’s worst vegetation to talk to Dennis. Find out more about The LNER, Gran, The Sheds and Dennis’s mum. Discover how Dennis’s ‘trouble’ stopped him getting married and how he became acquainted with one of Mrs Jeffreys’ foundation garments. Listen to Dennis sing four songs, including full versions of the classics ‘Fen Tigers’ and ‘Tha’s All In Ya Loif’.
Trouble is... This double CD incorporates such unforgettable episodes as the chaotic annual dinner of the Goats’ Friendly Society and perhaps the best episode ever: Gran’s trip to Wales. Mr South’s live visit to the school open day is for stronger stomachs and when our hero and Mr South visit the fen in winter to study nature the outcome is astonishing. Eight episodes plus six stunning songs including the incomparable and famous Ladder to the Moon.
The Last Episodes: Dennis’ final five broadcasts. The story of Mr South’s fury and dismay when he is forced to help Dennis forge a new career in advertising voice-overs. Also how Dennis and his fiancée, Maudie Deeks, plan to emigrate to the Wild West and what happened after the creamhorn machine went wrong at the Fancies Factory.
The Bomb Photo: A dozen barely believable characters from Dennis’s schooldays populate this never-broadcast, hour-long special CD with songs including ‘Pylons’ and ‘Me Tortoise’. Meet Winston Cornfoot the xylophonic journalist, Dulcie Loverage, the mother of many, Audrey Slaughter the pioneer window dresser and many more famous Fenfolk.
Tiger Tales: Build up your Dennis collection with thisunique and historic recording. Another hour of sheer listening pleasure, in which Dennis sheds light on some of the Fen Tigers of yesteryear, including the railwayman, the clergyman, the inventor and the clippie. These are surrounded by six of Dennis's songs to give you a complete entertainment package. Tracks include: Fen Tigers·The Jonahs·I'm a Bream· Galvanized ·Ladder to the Moon· Vinegar Potts… and many more.
Archive Edition One: Six episodes broadcast during November and December 2004. This kicks off with one of Mr South’s all-time favourites, The Late Harvest Festival, then there’s the sticky story of Gran’s Toffee, the touching tale of Effie Pepperdine, the tragi-comedy of Dennis and Maudie at the coal-yard Christmas party and, for very good measure, the famous two episodes examining in embarrassing detail how Dennis made a fool of Mr South at his own profession.
Archive Edition Two: Five episodes broadcast in November and December 1999. This starts with a classic: Dennis explains the popularity of Doc Wallace among patients who are perfectly well, then there are two episodes about unreliable fen archaeology before we get to a couple of episodes hinging on the Millennium celebrations.
