A Great series... Narration well rehearsed and produced with great drama and humour...... I would say that its one of the greatest narrations I have listened to, if not the best ! Thank you ( my second time round )
Dec 1970. M'Hamid, Morocco. Border 'Military' Oasis. Compound rented for $20 CND a month - costs equally split among 12 adventurious would-be 'Hippies' of the day. Dug our own 'Out-House' in our compound (locals not happy upon discovery of that social sin the day we left). Someone donated a paper-back copy of 'Flashman' for toilet paper. Always tried to keep a couple of chapters ahead on each visit. SITUATION made understanding him easy. Been addicted to 'Flashman' ever since. He's everymans secret hero. A survivor.
This guy isn't as bad as I initially thought but it'd be a tall order for anyone to beat Timothy West, his portrayal of Flashman is unparalleled, it's a real shame he didn't do them all :[

Thankful for McDonald's writing. You can trust that cowardly hero Flashy.

2:41:07 : Japanese "vulgarity" 🤔? Not often I hear the Japanese accused of that.
Perhaps his English sensibilities were offended by Sumo wrestlers & their bare bums - although were he saw them remains another Flashman mystery?
@@1brummell Knowing Flashman, he was probably on the run from the authorities for sleeping with someone he shouldn't have ... the rascal.
Perhaps he was involved in the Boshin War - he seems to have been everywhere else!@@WinterPhoenixForestKirin
@@1brummell that would have been another awesome episode of Sir Harry Flashman VC !
If you're to read 'Shogun' by James Clavell, you will encounter it in places.
Cheers. Annoying narrator though. Keeps ACCENTING words AT the WRONG time. Loved Timothy West.
Get over it.

This is hard to listen to. Monotonous, lacking expression and with pauses in the delivery every 5 or 6 words. His Redskins isn’t bad though
