British children's animated series written by Josh Weinstein, who has previously worked on 'The Simpsons' and 'Futurama'. The series is set in and around a high school where strange events take place and follows the students of the school as they try to make sense of the bizarre occurrences. The pupils at the school include Becky Butters (voice of Emma Kennedy), a studious girl who nonetheless struggles with logic, and Mitchell Tanner (Doc Brown), a lively boy who would much rather be playing with his friends than stuck in a classroom. The voice cast also includes Richard Ayoade, Caroline Aherne and Marc Silk.

Ferocity, heroism, and savage bloodshed: the next gripping instalment in the Twilight of Empire series. For fans of Ben Kane and Conn Iggulden.

When the simmering conflict between Rome and Persia threatens once again to ignite into open war, there is only one man the Emperor Constantine can trust to hold the eastern frontier.

Aurelius Castus, retired general of the empire, has fought long and hard for Rome. When the summons comes to command an army once more, he obeys with a heavy heart. Is he still the fearsome fighting machine of old? Will his young, ambitious officers respect and follow a great soldier of former days?

But when tragedy strikes the imperial household, Castus must race to defend the last bulwark standing against the might of Persia. In the pitiless heat of the Syrian desert, engulfed by whirling sandstorms and facing a fearless, treacherous foe, Castus knows that the fight ahead will be the fiercest he has ever known, and will very probably be his last.
