In case, you have missed it, BBC radio 4 had produced a three-part play based on HMS Surprise. It has been done well, considering that it had to be heavily abridged to fit into 2.15hrs. It doesn't take long to get used to the voices so different from the movie.
Here are the
links to the parts May you enjoy.

The BBC radio 4 production is a bit different from the audiobooks. For one, it is severely cut (only 2hrs 15mins), for another it is a play, not a narration.
Do join in at mandc_read when you feel like it. You know you don't have to wait until you have caught up in order to comment. The posts at all the previous books are still open. :D

Is is abridged? Is it any good? What was the reader like?
And where did you get it?

I downloaded it from iTunes. They have a lot of downloadable audiobooks from Audible.com. Audible actually has this subscription thing where you can pay like $8.00 for each of the first three months, but I bought this one at the iTunes price.
And it is unabridged. They have, however, the whole series on Audible in abridged versions, which seems like pretty much the lamest idea ever, right? I wonder what they leave out.
