The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (Dramatised) by Robert Forrest
This is a three-hour radio adaptation of the book. There are a number of actors, music and sound effects. I found it somewhat difficult to follow at times.

The Hollow Crown: Series One by Richard Eyre
Shakespeare plays about English wars.

Richard II is good. The other three are pretty boring.
