Lawrence Gordon Clark directs this triple bill of BBC adaptations of the ghost stories by M.R. James. In 'Lost Hearts' (1973) young orphan Stephen (Simon Gipps-Kent) goes to stay at the generous Mr. Abney (Joseph O'Connor)'s estate where he is haunted by two children who previously lived in the house. It turns out the children have come to warn Stephen that Abney is not all that he seems. In 'The Ash Tree' (1975) Sir Richard Fell (Edward Petherbridge) inherits his uncle's manor and grounds. He moves in and decides to cut down an ash tree that could prove harmful to the property but before he gets the chance he begins to hear strange sounds and sees supernatural figures coming from the tree... In 'The Treasure of Abbot Thomas' (1974) cynical Reverend Somerton (Michael Bryant) is completely close-minded when it comes to paranormal activity. His steadfast beliefs falter, however, when his and Lord Peter Dattering (Paul Lavers)'s search for the treasure of alchemist Abbot Thomas (John Herrington) unleashes a terrifying spectre.

The new normal isn't very normal. but then, neither was the old ...James Mellor, prominent corporate cartoonist and regular. contributor to private eye magazine, presents his favourite cartoons from the time of coronavirus. This is the story of how we were locked down and unlocked, tested and traced, then jabbed and pinged from the satirical to the silly, quarantoons is a record of, and antidote to, the strange times we live in. It was a strange feeling to watch a disaster coming from afar. Like a tidal wave in slow motion, inexorably moving closer. In the UK we saw the news from China, then from New York, then Italy. In today’s globally connected world, the English Channel was no defensive moat. We watched as the virus spread closer and there was nothing any of us could do. Well, we could go and buy large amounts of toilet roll, but there was nothing we could usefully do. I say nothing we could do; being British, we did what we always do. We made jokes, we made fun, and we carried on. Except for the oddballs buying the toilet roll, of course. Cartoonists who make fun of the news continued to make fun of the news. Laughter is a coping mechanism that helps confront adversity and dampen anxiety. It was very important to carry on cartooning. As many a redcoat joked down the centuries, ‘for what we are about to receive…’

Nobody said leaving would be easy... did they? Brexit - A Drawn Out Process is a collection of James Mellor's political cartoons from the referendum, the negotiations, the countdown to the Brexit-Day-that-wasn't, and beyond. This cartoon compilation tells the story of Brexit, with its deal and derailments, its splits and the spats, and features a familiar cast of hopeless politicians, bemused onlookers and anthropomorphic animals. In a book which crosses red lines, fails six tests, and crashes headlong into a backstop, James Mellor's cartoons chronicle the Brexit story (so far...). James Mellor's cartoons have appeared in Private Eye, The Sunday Telegraph, Business Impact and numerous other publications. He is the associate illustrator for Lea Graham Ltd. and cartoonist in residence for the financial services community, Octo Members Group.

The purpose of this little book is to help people understand the realities of trying to transition from working full-time to achieving genuine semi-retirement. David Mellor is making this journey himself and wanted to share with other people what it is really like. David has selected 30 lessons that he has learned thus far and tried to balance what he has experienced with observations from 30 other people. David's key objective is to present the reader with an opportunity to move forward with confidence and "eyes wide open".
