Double bill of rauchy comedies by Frankie 'Titter Ye Not' Howerd,
the outrageously camp and bawdy British comic. 'Up Pompeii' (1971)
is the feature length spin-off from the Howerd's television series
about a lazy slave living in ancient Pompeii. When a document falls
into his hands listing the names of those plotting to assassinate
Emperor Nero, he is forced to infiltrate the group. Hilarious
mishaps result. In 'Up The Chastity Belt' (1971) Lurkalot (Frankie
Howerd) is a humble serf in Custard Castle, who runs a side-line
selling chastity belts and love potions at the local market place.
He's called upon to save the day when Sir Braggart De Bombast
attempts to seize the castle and kidnap the beautiful Lobelia De
Custard.
Originally published in 1961, this book provides a series of
narratives illustrating the financial situation of the East Anglian
gentry in the period between the dissolution of the monasteries and
the civil wars. Based on extensive research of estate documents,
the narratives focus on specific cases in detail, using tables and
extensive notes to back up observations. Indices of places, persons
and subjects are also contained at the end of the text. This is a
highly readable book that will be of value to anyone with an
interest in regional history, economic history and the gentry.
Alan and Mary McQueen Simpson introduce this selection from Jane
Carlyle's letters with an assessment of her character, her marriage
to 'my Man of Genius' Thomas Carlyle and her art of letter writing.
The letters are arranged in sections corresponding to the main
themes in her life. The selection begins with the strange,
prolonged courtship; portraits, conscious and unconscious, of
herself and her husband follow; much is about running the Chelsea
house at 5 Cheyne Row, protecting Carlyle from noise, neighbours
and bedbugs; a whole section is devoted to a Dickensian succession
of mostly awful servants; another is about her 'outings' -
including a deeply poignant account of her return to her childhood
home; another deals with Carlyle's infatuation with Lady Ashburton
as well as Jane's 'puddling health' and her recovery. This is a
book to read right through with riveted enjoyment. It is one of the
most fascinating correspondences in the English language.
Kevin McNally stars in five brand new recordings of original

recreated by BBC Radio 4, with Kevin McNally taking the role made
famous by Tony Hancock. Among the supporting cast are Simon
Grenall, Kevin Eldon and Robin Sebastian.

Tony Hancock stars with Sid James and Kenneth Williams in the
legendary BBC Radio comedy series. Created by Ray Galton and Alan
Simpson in 1954, Hancock's Half Hour was the radio vehicle that
made Tony Hancock a household name. Each week listeners would be
admitted to the sometimes fantastical, sometimes mundane life of
"the lad 'imself". Aided and abetted by Sid James, Andree Melly,
Bill Kerr and Kenneth Williams, Hancock would enter into the spirit
of each episode with characteristic dolefulness. This collection of
10 episodes represents the surviving archive from the third radio
series, along with PDF booklets featuring episode guides, series
notes, cast biographies and specially written introductions by
Galton and Simpson. Also included are two radio documentaries about
Tony Hancock: Stone Me, What a Life! and The Complete and Utter
History of Hancock. The episodes included are The Pet Dog; The
Jewel Robbery; The Bequest; The Blackboard Jungle; The Diet;
Hancock's Heir; The Student Prince; The Greyhound Track; The
Conjurer and The Test Match.
Eight brand new recordings of original Hancock's Half Hour scripts
Hancock's Half Hour was one of the most popular radio comedies of
the 1950s, and the first modern sitcom. Over 100 episodes of the
show were broadcast between 1954 and 1959, but 22 went missing from
the BBC archives. Lovingly recreated by Radio 4 in front of a live
audience at the BBC Radio Theatre, they can now be heard for the
first time since their initial transmission. Collected here are the
final eight episodes from the fourth series - including a special
premiere of The Counterfeiter, which was never recorded by the
original team. The episodes are: The Winter Holiday, Department
Store Santa, The Diamond Ring, Prime Minister Hancock, Christmas at
Aldershot, The Counterfeiter, The Christmas Eve Party and The New
Year Resolutions. Written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson Produced
by Neil Pearson, Paul Sheehan and Hayley Sterling Music composed by
Wally Stott, and performed by the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted
by Levon Parikian Thanks to Tessa Le Bars First broadcast on BBC
Radio 4, 6 December 2018-31 December 2020 Written by Ray Galton and
Alan Simpson, and with the classic score re-recorded by the BBC
Concert Orchestra, these hilarious episodes star Kevin McNally as
The Lad Himself, with Kevin Eldon, Simon Greenall, Robin Sebastian,
Susy Kane and Margaret Cabourn-Smith.

Extreme problems call for bold solutions, and that is exactly what
is presented in The Moment of Truth. No area is spared and no ideas
are too self conscious for this bi-partisan, politics aside attempt
to truly solve what has become a deficit crisis; cuts to Social
Security benefits, increases in the retirement age, and tax hikes
to name a few. Huge slashes in discretionary spending without
sparing defense and the elimination of the employer-tax exclusion
for health care and the mortgage-interest deduction are among the
sacrifices and compromises called for here. It begs the question of
how serious Americans and their leaders are about solving the U.S.
financial crisis.

This volume contains everything Behan wrote in dramatic form in
English. First come the three famous full-length plays: The Quare
Fellow, set in an Irish prison, is "something very like a
masterpiece" (John Russell Taylor); The Hostage, set in a Dublin
lodging-house of doubtful repute, "shouts, sings, thunders and
stamps with life . . . a masterpiece" (Harold Hobson); and
Richard's Cork Leg, set largely in a graveyard, is nevertheless "a
joyous celebration of life" (Michael Billington). There follow
three little-known one-act plays originally written for radio and
all intensely autobiographical: Moving Out, A Garden Party and The
Big House. The Introduction, by Alan Simpson, who knew Behan well
and first directed his work on stage, provides the essential
biographical details as well as candid insights into Behan's
working methods and his political allegiances. Also included in the
volume is a wide-ranging bibliography. "It seems to be Ireland's
function, every twenty years or so, to provide a playwright who
will kick English drama from the past into the present. Brendan
Behan may well fill the place vacated by Sean O'Casey."-Kenneth
Tynan
The once-peaceful villages of Leyton and Leytonstone have undergone
a rapid transformation since the mid-nineteenth century. Both have
grown from rural communities with farms and market gardens, to
become suburban towns, eventually engulfed by the vast expansion of
greater London. The steady influx of newcomers and new lifestyles
has developed the character of the streets and buildings of the
London Borough of Waltham Forest. This book traces some of those
fascinating transformations through a selection of over eighty
pairs of photographs comparing old and contemporary views, painting
a revealing picture of many of the changes that have taken place
over the last 150 years. Each pair of photographs is accompanied by
a caption containing a wealth of local information. This new title
will appeal to all those who wish to know more about the history of
the area, as well as evoking nostalgic memories for those who
remember Leyton and Leytonstone as they used to be.
