Not BBC, but I'll go ahead and mention here, in addition to the separate thread I made--ChristianAudio.com has offered a bonus free audiobook for the month of May (in addition to their main selection): The Hiding Place, by Corrie Ten Boom. 9.5 hours, unabridged.
Download is here: https://christianaudio.com/free/

They make each month's free audiobook available on the first Friday of the month, so I'm pretty sure this will be available through June 3.

If you love Science Fiction and Fantasy, this is a great, family friendly read and to add to the sauce, for the people in this group, I am offering a free review copy of the first book "The House on Infinity Loop" to anyone who loves the genre within this group and for book clubs. What's it about? A young woman inherits a house, a cat, and a key from an aunt she only met twice in her life. The cat is not a cat. The house has a room in it that can't possibly be there. And the key doesn't fit any lock in her house, but leads her to adventures beyond the universe where she discovers things about herself she didn't think were possible.
To access your review copy go here: https://dimensionalallianceheadquarte...
I made a vow when I started to write that I would never write a book I couldn't read without embarrassment in front of my grandchildren. Now, with the fourth book in the series coming out in just a few weeks, I want to give back to all of the clean reads community.

(I haven't listened, so can't say for sure how they deal with Emma's affairs. Usually BBC radio dramas of historical novels are fine, but if there is anything inappropriate, let me know, and I will take it off.)
This isn't BBC, but I'll go ahead and note it here. Christianaudio.com has a free audiobook each month. Usually it is nonfiction, but this month it is A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens.https://christianaudio.com/free
The narrator is Simon Vance. It is unabridged, 2 hours and 54 minutes, and it is available for the whole month of December. You do need to set up a free account. You can listen to a sample here: https://christianaudio.com/a-christma...
(They just made it available, so the site may be a little slow or glitchy as a bunch of people log on to get it. If you encounter that, it should clear up in a few hours or by tomorrow.)

As always, if there is anything inappropriate in one of the programs, let me know so I can remove it. I'm usually familiar enough with a work (have read the book or other works by the same author, and/or listened to other BBC audio productions in the same series, such as Poirot and Miss Marple, or know the author's reputation) to feel comfortable posting it even if I haven't listened yet, but it's always possible that something might slip by.
