Attempting to return to UNIT HQ, the Doctor (Tom Baker) and Sarah
land in England in 1911, where an ancient force is preparing to
return and wreak destruction on the Universe. Sutekh the Destroyer,

which holds him prisoner and If he isn't stopped, there is not a
force in the Universe which can stand against him.
Revelatory investigation into the police handling of the Yorkshire
Ripper Case which spanned over 14 years. Newly updated to include
Sutcliffe's bid for freedom in 2008, and the verdict from court in
2010. For over twenty years, the dark secrets of the biggest
criminal manhunt in British history have remained a closed book.
Detectives refused all requests to tell the inside story of the
Yorkshire Ripper investigation that logged over two million
manhours of police work. The victims who survived maintained a wall
of silence. And the detailed forensic evidence, witness statements
and autopsy reports have remained locked away - until 'Wicked
Beyond Belief' was published. Award-winning writer Michael Bilton
persuaded the key people to talk. After years of exhaustive
research he has revealed the extraordinary truth behind the murder
enquiry that left Peter Sutcliffe free to kill again and again.
With exclusive access to the detectives involved, to pathologist's
archives and confidential police reports, the story of the hunt
reads as tensely as any thriller. In this updated edition, he
charts the blunders and changes in the law that enabled Sutcliffe
to demand a minimum term with the possibility of parole in 2010. He
also explores what has happened to the Ripper's surviving victims,
and their families, in recent years. 'Wicked Beyond Belief' is a
shocking and important indictment of the most notorious murder hunt
of the twentieth century.
Uncovering the secrets behind the 1968 My Lai massacre in Vietnam, this is "a brutal, cautionary tale that serves as a painful reminder of the worst that can happen in war."—Chicago Tribune.
All 21 episodes of the 1970s comedy series starring Leonard
Rossiter as Reginald Perrin, plus the post-Rossiter series 'The
Legacy of Reginald Perrin' (1996), and a 1982 Christmas sketch. In
the first series, life changes forever for Reggie when he imagines
his mother-in-law as a hippo one morning and realises how stressed
he is. Reggie begins a one-man campaign against his dull, routine
commuter existence, embodied by his boss at Sunshine Desserts, C.J.
(John Barron), yes-men colleagues Tony 'Knockout!' Webster (Trevor
Adams) and David 'Super!' Harris-Jones (Bruce Bould), incompetent
medico Doc Morrissey (John Horsley) and secretary Joan (Sue
Nicholls). In Series 2, Reggie, having faked his own death, has
adopted the new identity of Martin Wellbourne, his own long-lost
friend from Brazil, and re-married his wife, Elizabeth (Pauline
Yates). Reggie has also obtained a job at his old firm, Sunshine
Desserts, running his own memorial fund. However, tired of
pretending to be somebody else, Reggie reveals his true identity -
only to be sacked by C.J.: 'I didn't get where I am today by
pretending to be my long-lost friend from Brazil'. After an
unsatisfying spell on a pig farm, Reggie comes up with a whole new
concept in shopping: a store where everything sold is guaranteed
100% useless. He names his new enterprise Grot, and surprises even
himself with his success. In the third series, Reggie and
Elizabeth, having sold Grot, soon tire of their new lives as
travellers, and decide to set up a special community to help people
live in peace and harmony. All the old gang are recruited,
including Reggie's former boss, C.J., colleagues David and Tony,
Doc Morrissey and brother-in-law Jimmy (Geoffrey Palmer) - but will
their best efforts meet with success? 'The Legacy of Reginald
Perrin' catches up with the characters from the series years later
as they are forced to perform silly acts in order to benefit
financially from Reggie's will.
