I first heard this bbc comedy on radio 4 extra and had to hear the entire series. The characters are not clichés of fantasy tropes but still retain the standard fantasy races. For me the real highlight are the villains though. Lord darkness and creatch are fantastic creations, as having the lord of all evil struggle with day to day life while trying to defeat the questers is a constant side story that can have you laughing whenever he turns up and having Alistair McGowan play him is a stroke of genius. Saying that the entire cast is fantastic and this would be amazing on the small screen. It seems that all the best comedy is on the radio these days.

Very funny and compelling listening
