GamesMaster: The Oral History charts the highs and lows of Channel
4's iconic and anarchic UK videogames entertainment show. First
broadcast in 1992 amid a brash youth television takeover, the
ambitious and sometimes chaotic production of GamesMaster is as
much a story of the 1990s, set against a backdrop of videogame
console wars, Britpop and a curious new thing called the World Wide
Web. This definitive retrospective is guided by show host Dominik
Diamond and features over 40 contributors, including production
crew, celebrity guests and the games-playing members of the public
who became either playground heroes or defeated outcasts vying for
the iconic Golden Joystick prize.
Pop star Robbie Williams captured live in performance at the London
Palladium. Williams performs a selection of songs from his latest
album 'Swings Both Ways' (2013) alongside a number of swing
favourites from the past. He is joined onstage by an orchestra and
celebrity guests including Rufus Wainwright, Lily Allen and the
Muppets Miss Piggy and Kermit the Frog.
To Cap It All is the enthralling life story of legendary Port Vale
manager John Rudge, providing special behind-the-scenes insight
into the ups and downs of six decades of professional football,
from the depths of the Division Four re-election zone to the
Premier League and Europe. Rudge managed the Valiants for a record
19 years, developing players like Robbie Earle, Mark Bright and Ian
Taylor. As Vale slayed giants such as Spurs, Southampton and
Everton, Rudge became a style icon famous for his flat cap. He
moved to city rivals Stoke in 1999 to become director of football
and oversaw the club's revival to reach the Premier League and
their first ever FA Cup final. But it wasn't all plain sailing.
John describes his volatile relationship with Vale chairman Bill
Bell and speaks out about Stoke's Icelandic owners and manager
Johan Boskamp, who had Rudge put on garden leave. This hilarious
memoir also reveals why a second-hand Lada changed John's life, how
he once signed a drag artist and why he ended up in Denis Law's
bed!

Bestselling author of RanDumb: The Adventures of an Irish Guy in
L.A which has been rated #1 on Amazon Humor. Praise For RanDumb:
'RanDumb is an intelligently put-together, often satirical analysis
of the times we live in... a thoroughly entertaining read that will
make you 'LOL' -laugh out loud - as so many have done on Mark
Hayes' blog.' 'With his unique style, phrasing and word coinage,
Mark Hayes introduced himself to us in his first book RanDumb as a
kind of hard drinking, half-slacker, half German technical
translator, carefree globetrotter finding his way in Hollywood.
Very funny and a great read.' 'I've always wanted to give up the
mundane day job, pack my bags and head for the promised land, but
circumstances have conspired against me. So, when I heard of this
book, it was a must read... I wasn't disappointed in the least. It
was just how I would have imagined and more... Mark Hayes has
shared his experiences of chasing the American Dream and I love
it.'
