'One of the best-loved and funniest voices on radio.’ (Evening Standard )

Linda Smith’s everyday conversation contained more jokes than most comedy scripts and more social comment than most dramas.’ (Independent )

Customer Reviews

A disappointment
Very disappointed with this recording. Too many pauses etc. and does not do justice to Linda's humour or professionalism. Some live performances are excellent - this is not one.
