Narrated by the original Voice, Peter Jones, and containing interviews with cast members and the late Douglas Adams himself, this is the indispensable Guide to the Guide. Join Humphrey Lyttelton, Graeme Garden, Tim Brooke-Taylor and the rest of the gang for more rounds of Mornington Crescent and other madcap hilarity. In the 'hungry forties' of the 19th century, Mary Barton is romantically drawn to handsome mill owner's son Henry Carson.
Tragedy looms, however, when resentment builds between the millworkers and their employers.
Dear Tom Tom Courtenay reads the memoir of his early life, with additional narration by Sian Thomas. When the young Tom's studies took him to London, first at UCL and then RADA, Tom and his mother wrote to each other frequently. The strong bond between them enabled Annie to express some of the wisdom, humour and philosophy which everyday home life required her to repress. In this heart-warming memoir, the highs and lows of Tom Courtenay's early acting career are punctuated by the letters from his mother, read by Sian Thomas. Wilde Simon Callow reads from the letters of one of the most significant and fascinating writers the world has known.
