THE GROUND-BREAKING GRAPHIC NOVEL A story about ordinary people
navigating a strange land, in even stranger times. On the eve of
the US elections, a Syrian family leave their world behind for a
chance at the American dream. But as the first day of their new
life dawns, they are greeted by the news of Donald Trump's victory.
It's as if they arrived in one country, and woke up in another.
What does that mean for their past, their future... their home?
Welcome to the New World began as a ground-breaking comic strip in
the New York Times. Every week, the Aldabaan family's experiences
would be retold as a cartoon strip - keeping step as events
unfolded in real life. One Pulitzer Prize later, this stunning
graphic novel fills in the gaps, gradually revealing an America
which is full of contradictions: foreign yet familiar, ignorant but
kind, cruel yet generous. It's also an intimate portrait of family
dynamics and everyday fortitude, from the first day at a new school
to getting a new job (any job!) against the clock. It seems that if
you can't turn back, the only way to go is onwards.
When you look at a painting, what do you really see? When
eighteenth-century poet Alison Cockburn accepts a light-hearted
challenge from her friend Katherine Hume to live as a man, in order
to infiltrate Edinburgh's all-male skating club, little do they
both realise how her new identity will shape their future. And in
the present, art historian Claire Sharp receives a mysterious
request: to settle once and for all the true provenance of the
iconic painting The Skating Minister. The Edinburgh Skating Club is
the tale of one woman's mission to infiltrate a male-dominated
society. Imaginative, romantic and ultimately moving, this
time-shift adventure celebrates the women overlooked by history -
and, above all, love, in all its unexpected forms.

Made-for-TV feature spin-off from the popular 1960s NBC series in
which a pair of secret agents deal with global conspiracies and
plots. Threats to the world order appear to have died down
substantially in the years since Napoleon Solo (Robert Vaughn) and
Illya Kuryakin (David McCallum) tackled international terrorists
and other rogue agencies - to the extent that the organisation they
worked for, U.N.C.L.E., has been disbanded and the two agents are
now otherwise employed. However, when the terror network THRUSH
raises its ugly head again - stealing a nuclear weapon and
attempting to hold the world to ransom - Solo and Kuryakin are
recalled to use their former skills to foil the plot. Can the two
ageing agents roll back the years and save the world once again?
Feature-length spin-off special combining two popular 1970s series,
'The Six Million Dollar Man' and 'The Bionic Woman'. After ten
years in retirement, Steve Austin (Lee Majors) is persuaded out of
seclusion by his former boss, who asks for his help in taking down
a group of international terrorists known as Fortress. Jamie Somers
(Lindsay Wagner), Austin's ex-girlfriend, is similarly approached.
Austin and Somers must now brush up on their old powers and
overcome their personal differences in order to face up to the
challenge, especially after Austin's pilot son Michael (Tom
Schanley) is badly injured and kidnapped by the terrorists.
