This research guide points also to North American and United Kingdom film libraries and archives and provides a short list of key sources of printed materials.

In 1832 a stranger arrived in Canterbury dressed like a Turkish sultan and with seemingly limitless wealth. He claimed to be Sir William Percy Honeywood Courtenay and said that he was the King of Jerusalem, a Prince of Arabia, the Prince of Abyssinia, and King of the Gypsies. He entranced many in the city and soon had a sizeable following among the agricultural labourers who saw in his radical politics an answer to their poverty. Some five years later after unsuccessfully standing for parliament and being incarcerated in a mental asylum `Sir William' led the last armed uprising in England that left twenty dead and many seriously wounded at what became known as the Battle of Bossenden. Who was `Sir William' if he was not who he claimed to be? Who indeed? And why? The Lion of Canterbury is a haunting narrative written with particular sensitivity to the language of the period that brings readers into the heart of the strange story of Sir William Courtenay.

Times have moved on, but not for Teddy Taylor, once one of the nation's top comedians. Teddy is plotting his way back to the top during a 1990's summer engagement in Great Yarmouth through a haze of booze, women and creditors. Facing declining audiences, The Teddy Taylor Show, with its dancers, beat-the clock and wet tee-shirt contests, and now eyebrow-raising jokes, is taking him ever further from where he sees as his rightful place. As the pressure builds and those around him, including Sylvia, his fourth (or is it fifth?) wife, try to keep him on the rails, Teddy spins further and further away from reality. And just who, Teddy wants to know, is the young and heavily pregnant woman stalking him from the audience? 'The Count of Comedy' is a brilliant evocation of the British seaside milieu through the eyes of Teddy Taylor as he wanders through his, and the nation's, past and present.

When Stanley Kubrick was working on the development of his classic movie, "2001: A Space Odyssey", he arranged that twenty-one of the leading scientists in the world be interviewed on film, to speculate about their ideas on life in the universe and the impact its discovery would have on us. He wanted to cut into the movie, alongside the narrative, snippets from the interviews. Eventually, he discarded the idea and the interviews were never used. When it came time to issue a celebratory DVD of Kubrick's masterpiece, there was a suggestion that the interviews could be issued as part of the disc set. Alas, the film could not be found and it appeared that all had been lost, perhaps mis-filed in some dusty archive or else, sadly, even destroyed. However, four foolscap ring-binders containing the typed transcripts of the interviews were discovered and these make the basis of this remarkable book. All those interviewed were or have become major international figures in their fields. Aleksandr Ivanovich Oparin wrote what has been described as the first and principal modern appreciation of extraterrestrial life. Harlow Shapley was one of the finest American astronomers and someone to whom we owe our understanding of the size and shape of our galaxy. B. F. Skinner was renowned for his work on behavioural conditioning. Margaret Mead was the most famous anthropologist of her generation. Frank D. Drake pioneered SETI and formulated the Drake Equation. Fred Whipple might well be considered the great astronomer of the twentieth century. And these are just six names taken at random. The whole collection represents a brilliant over-view of scientific, philosophical and ethical considerations of the implications of the possibility of other forms of life within the universe. And the comments are as potent now as they were nearly fifty years ago.
