By turns, it is riotous, deeply serious, practical and sad. Reading
it is like being at her kitchen table with a glass of wine to hand.
(Daily Telegraph) Lynda Bellingham was a tremendously gifted
storyteller with a rich collection of tales of love, loss and
laughter and this memoir brings her kind heart, courage and emotion
to the page in vivid detail. There's Something I've Been Dying To
Tell You is a brave memoir about Lynda's battle with cancer, facing
death she found joy and shared it with millions. Her story is an
affecting and at times heart-breaking one but it is so often
laugh-out-loud too and ultimately the way Lynda told her life story
serves as a great inspiration to us all. Woven into this very
moving and brave story are extraordinary, colourful tales of her
acting and family life that will enlighten and entertain as well as
the journey that Lynda has taken to find the family of her birth
father having already suffered heartache in her search for her
birth mother. In the search for her father's family, Lynda finds a
family with a history in entertainment showing that acting was
always in the blood. This book was written in Lynda's final months
and revealed for the first time, and in great detail, her fight
with cancer and how her life was transformed since her diagnosis.
This edition includes a brand new chapter written by Lynda's
husband Michael about his love for her, her love of life and her
glorious final send-off.

The longest 'Doctor Who' story ever. The Doctor (Colin Baker) is
put on trial by his people the Time Lords for interference in the
affairs of others; three segments of his past and future are
presented as evidence. 'The Mysterious Planet' shows the Doctor and
Peri (Nicola Bryant) in a battle with a megalomaniac machine on the
planet Ravalox, but what are the mysterious 'secrets' it protects?
'Mindwarp' shows the Doctor apparently betraying Peri to the vile
Sil (Nabil Shaban) and the Mentors - can the Matrix be falsifying
the evidence against the Doctor? In his defence he presents 'Terror
of the Vervoids', a future story where the Earth is threatened by
evil plant life forms. In the final two episodes, 'The Ultimate
Foe', the Doctor learns the truth about his prosecuting counsel,
the Valeyard (Michael Jayston), and has to enter the Matrix to
battle for his remaining lives. This was Colin Baker's last story
as the Doctor.
'This is an important collection of witnessings to an important
subject, and valuable for what it addresses, as well as the way it
addresses.' Sir Andrew Motion 'This is poetry from a place where we
assume there are no more words to come, which makes it all the more
powerful, moving and important. This book should be essential
reading for every surgery care home and hospital and for all of us
who are living with loved ones with dementia.' Meera Syal OBE 'I
would so love to have had this book when my mother was struggling
with Alzheimer's.' Lynda Bellingham OBE Living Words has been
working in the UK with people experiencing dementia since late
2007. This anthology contains a selection of their words and poems.
