What do folk make of these things? Bargains, or daft?

Looks a bit suspect, Tony. Is all this material really available 'in the public domain', as stated?

I think it's all public domain - the actual stories should be, anyway. Not sure about the various radio series, but they could be as well.

I'm sure the stories are, but would the "Ghost Stories for Christmas" tv programmes be public domain? That second DVD set looks decidedly iffy!

Yep, I reckon Ghost Stories for Christmas is definitely bootleg, and probably poor quality to boot. The MP3 audio stories might be out of copyright, but I reckon the quality will probably be terrible. Isn't it one of those things where people download them from internet places called "torrent sites" or something like that?

Take a look at the eBayers' feedback. If they've sold the same items - or similar ones - before, then it's dodgy. There's a lot of that about on eBay.
