Regarded by many critics as Britain's best sitcom, Porridge is set to become even more popular following the sad death of Ronnie Barker in October 2005. His portrayal of Fletch, the experienced, cynical old lag, won the nation's heart when the series first hit our screens in 1973. This complete companion is the only book to tell the behind-the-scenes story of how the series came to be made and is packed full of never-before-published photographs and interviews with the cast and crew. It is also the only book to bring together the original scripts from all three series, making this the essential souvenir for all the millions of Porridge fans.
From the creators of 'Wallace and Gromit' come another nine episodes of animated fun from Shaun and his friends. In this set of adventures Blitzer (voice of John Sparkes) needs some help to decorate, the farmer gets a new TV and the flock throw Timmy (Justin Fletcher) a birthday party. The episodes are: 'Cones', 'Caught Short Alien', 'Happy Birthday Timmy!', 'The Genie', '3DTV', 'The Smelly Farmer', 'DIY', 'The Prize Possession', 'The Spider' and 'Fossils'.
Straddling the counties of Somerset and Devon, Exmoor is a place which never fails to stir the imagination, thanks to the coastline of stark cliffs lining the Bristol channel, the wooded valleys, tumbling streams and wild moorland. Designation as a national park in 1954 has helped Exmoor's villages and small towns keep their character and, although the moorland can undoubtedly be austere, this unassuming corner of England has an overriding softness and beguiling, timeless charm. The 40 walks in this guide make the most of more than 1000km of public rights of way and the many long-distance walks which criss-cross the landscape, offering something for every kind of walker.
It is not lost on commercial organisations that where we live colours how we view ourselves and others. That is why so many now place us into social groups on the basis of the type of postcode in which we live. Social scientists call this practice "commercial sociology". Richard Webber originated Acorn and Mosaic, the two most successful geodemographic classifications. Roger Burrows is a critical interdisciplinary social scientist. Together they chart the origins of this practice and explain the challenges it poses to long-established social scientific beliefs such as: the role of the questionnaire in an era of "big data" the primacy of theory the relationship between qualitative and quantitative modes of understanding the relevance of visual clues to lay understanding. To help readers evaluate the validity of this form of classification, the book assesses how well geodemographic categories track the emergence of new types of residential neighbourhood and subject a number of key contemporary issues to geodemographic modes of analysis.
Regarded by many critics as Britain's best sitcom, Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais' tales of life inside Slade Prison first hit the screens in 1973 and ran until 1977. But it has never faded from the nation's consciousness. Ronnie Barker as Fletch the old lag and Richard Beckinsale as Godber the naive first-time offender are comic creations as fine as any in the history of television. Now, for the first time, Richard Webber has brought together the original scripts from all three series of Porridge to make this the essential souvenir for all the many fans of this much-loved classic comedy.
In August 1958, the opening scenes of a low-budget black and white film flickered onto cinema screens up and down the country. No one could have foreseen what impact Carry on Sergeant would have then and in the future. Not only did it become one of the top three grossing films for that year, it also kick started the longest running and most successful comedy series of all time. Here, for the very first time, is the essential biography of this most treasured institution in the world of British cinema. Complete with exclusive interviews with cast and crew, and the debut publication of Vince Powell's script of Carry On Down Under, Fifty Years of Carry On is a must for any fan of the unique and ever hilarious spectacle that is Carry On.
