    I grew up listening to this to sleep in primary school. I’m now 18, at uni, working. Yet I’m back here listening to this. I hope everyone listening to this video and reading comment finds as much happiness from it as I did. ❤

    I used to listen to this audiobook when I was a kid, I would listen to this in my dad's car, and while I was in bed, our favourite line was when the way that the man with the green crystals pronounced "sugar"

    My god I loved this audiobook when I was a kid! I’d listen to this in my dad’s car, and Sponge and Spiker singing ‘who wants to be a millionaire, WE DO!’ was by far my favourite line

    This was one of mine and my brother's favourites when we were kids. It's weerd because I recognise Timothy West's voice now where as I didn't back then. Can't wait until my neece is old enough to listen to it. She'll love it.

    I love this! I have nostalgia now… But a good one! I still use it for when I have trouble sleeping. Because of school and stress and stuff and also, my heartbeat keeps going fast everyday even when I’m bored and stuff. Also, do you have Billy and The Minpins? I love it! Thank you! :-)

      I'm glad I could help. Hang in there. School life is only temporary and I'm sure you're doing very well.
      Sadly I do not. There is only a limited amount of these dramatisations. This is the complete series which you can find on my playlist. Feel free to listen to them as well.

    When you name your kids Sponge and Spiker you’re definitely asking for them to turn out bad , also why is it seem like the nicest parents always have the most horrible relatives lol

      I certainly do. Just go onto my channel and you should find it very promptly. It's my second video, so it should be at the bottom of the list. 🙂 And the narrator is Nigel Lambert. Yet Palmer did read an audiobook on it.
