"Who would have thought you could create a cat bed from a
washing-up bowl, design a doll's house from an old shoe box or make
a flower pot from a margarine tub - all on live television!"
Valerie Singleton, Blue Peter presenter 1962-1972 "My ultimate
favourite has to be Tracy Island. I loved all the little details,
such as the bendable pipe cleaner, palm trees and that it was
compatible with the shop bought Thunderbirds toys." Konnie Huq,
Blue Peter presenter, 1997-2008 Blue Peter is the longest-running
children's programme in the world. At its peak, before the days of
streaming and social media, it notched up 8 million viewers an
episode and received a thousand letters a day. Recently voted the
UK's best children's TV programme of all time, it was - and remains
- famous for its makes, all of which used inexpensive household
items such as cereal boxes and squeezy bottles, as well as the
essential sticky-backed plastic and rubber solution glue. This
affectionate celebration of the favourite makes from the show, has
facsimiles from the Blue Peter annuals and includes the iconic
Advent Crown, made with wire coat hangers, tinsel and candles. A
Christmas Door Decoration, made from a polystyrene ceiling tile,
some more tinsel and a cake doily. A Luxury Cat Basket, made from a
washingup bowl. Plant Pots using old margarine tubs. A Doll's House
made from a shoebox (with furniture made from matchboxes). Plus, of
course, the instructions for the Blue Peter version of Thunderbirds
Tracy Island.
THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER 'An inspirational read celebrating the
incredible young people who gave so much for this iconic British
aircraft'. John Nichol, bestselling author of Spitfire: A Very
British Love Story Despite the many films and television programmes
over the decades since the end of the Second World War that
portrays our allied heroes as grown-up men and women, the Battle of
Britain was in the main actually fought and won by teenagers. The
average age of an RAF fighter pilot was just twenty years old. Many
of the men and women who designed and built their planes were even
younger. Based on the hit BBC World Service podcast Spitfire: The
People's Story, we use contemporary diaries and memoirs, many of
them previously unpublished, to tell the story of the Spitfire
through the voices of the teenagers who risked everything to
design, build and fly her. This isn't a story of stiff-upper lips,
stoical moustaches and aerial heroics; it's a story of love and
loss, a story of young people tested to the very limits of their
endurance. Young people who won a battle that turned a war.

'There's a spiritual instinct in us all, and very few people do not
at some stage in their lives find themselves praying, in one form
or another. Often, it's a crisis that brings us to our knees. But
sometimes it's the sheer joy of being alive that makes us want to
find someone to thank for our good fortune.'Bishop James JonesAll
religions agree on one thing: that to be human is to pray. This new
collection of 365 meditations from BBC Radio 4's Prayer for the Day
offers insights from across the faiths into happiness, integrity
and spiritual wellbeing. The contributors give new perspectives on
the challenges of our era, providing welcome opportunities, day by
day, for gratitude, hope and joy.
Prayer for the Day brings together 365 selected readings from the
much loved, long-running series on BBC Radio 4. The programme,
which has been broadcast daily at 5:43am for several decades, and
continues to attract over half a million dedicated listeners,
comprises a short 2-minute reflection to start your day. These
artfully combine traditional forms of prayer and reflection, from a
variety of religions and denominations, with contemporary issues
and themes that are often relevant to the date on which the
programme is broadcast. In keeping with the theme of 'Prayer for
the Day', there are 365 reflections in the book, from a vast range
of the eminent religious figures and broadcasters who have
contributed to the programme over the years. There is a foreword by
a prominent figure in the faith community, a short profile of each
contributor and an index of contributors. To emphasise the point
that the reflections can be used daily, they are ordered by date
(i.e. 1st January, 2nd January etc), and each entry is selected on
the basis of it being as date-specific as possible. The date of
broadcast is underneath each entry, and dates are also marked at
the top corners of each page so they can be found easily. The
spacious design includes page openers for each month with simple
line illustrations. Prayer for the Day is a beautiful and
inspirational addition to any bedside table, with religious
meditations that both participate in the ecumenical spirit of the
21st century and equip you perfectly for each day's journey.

to life by a host of Doctor Who voices. In 'The Sons of the Crab'
the First Doctor finds himself a prisoner on a nightmarish world in
the Crab Nebula. The Second Doctor is faced with a dilemma posed by
the bird-like Arcturans in 'Only A Matter of Time', and in 'War in
the Abyss' the Third Doctor goes in search of Jo Grant's missing
uncle. The Fourth Doctor and Leela try to help the victims of
'Famine on Planet X', whilst the Fifth Doctor, Tegan and Nyssa find
themselves on a 'Night Flight to Nowhere' - courtesy of the Master!
In 'Time Wake' the Sixth Doctor and Peri search for the entity
behind a dangerous temporal corridor in London. Two short
additional features ponder the 'Secrets of the TARDIS' and examine
the conundrum that is 'One Doctor - Five Men.' Dan Starkey,
Geoffrey Beevers, Anneke Wills, Jon Culshaw, Louise Jameson and
Colin Baker are our guides through these weird and wacky stories
from Doctor Who Annual. Readings produced by Neil Gardner Sound

Every day is filled with opportunities for prayer as we ask for
help in facing life's inevitable difficulties, or seek ways of
expressing our feelings of gratitude, love and joy. This special

Day is designed to be a true companion through our daily routine,

others and to the world's wonder. In these uncertain and insecure
times, these prayers from a broad spectrum of religious traditions

they indicate how, with God's help, our days can be times of
healing, belonging, laughter and love, through the ordinary

When Irene Spencer meets Vera Small at her daughter Lesley's
wedding reception, they embark upon a correspondence that is quite
unlike any other in the history of letter-writing. Both Irene and
Vera are happily widowed and endowed with errant offspring. They
live in a world of church fetes and amateur dramatics, but love
nothing more than dipping their pens in the vitriol pot - while
remaining the firmest of pen-pals. Feisty, naughty and endlessly
funny, Ladies of Letters provides a hilarious insight into suburban
friendships as they really are! 'Quite honestly as I laid the last
letter aside I felt a better person for having glimpsed behind the
net curtains of Mrs Small's and Mrs Spencer's life.' - Sue
Townsend. 1 CD. 1 hr 30 mins.
