Still wishing Rufus would do more complete readings of audio books. Have a whole rack of books by famous actors yet none can touch him for his vocal dexterity when dealing with a cast of characters. Please nag him for me. Holding a book for prolong reading is impossible for me and many like me. Audio books are necessary means for us to enjoy full storylines in comfort, often lying in hospital beds in the dark. His voice has a warm unaffected quality like a favourite parent or uncle without affectation in its natural state, but with humour and skill when juggling a wide cast of characters.
please will somebody tell him

Voiceover, you've described Rufus's talents beautifully! He can create a distinct character with just a simple inflection, and even all the minor characters in Joseph are quite different.
They're abridged versions, but did you know Rufus read most of the James Bond books? They're fantastic, and usually available on CD on ebay or amazon.
I'm sorry to hear you suffer from health issues and I'm really glad you find some comfort in the recordings you have. Please see the PM I sent you.
Unfortunately, we are just fans like you, so we have no contact with Rufus; in fact, most of us have never even met him. That's why we are all so happy about the upcoming production of Fred in the Springtime. Sound like it will be loads of fun! I hope you will have the chance to listen to it too.

"Polly, POLLY!!" ;D "I didn't know poets broke people's necks." ;D Well, it can be a useful advice: do not misjudge the distance when you try to hold Ricky off. I like that pig smiley, GE2.  (Poor Lord Emsworth. "Are you under the impression that I want to enter my pig for the Derby?" Oh, trying to be sarcastic is sooo dangerous. ;D)

Loved it, though, and looking forward to Episode 2!
