The 1980s
Conflict in many forms characterised the 1980s: war in the South
Atlantic, the miners' strike, social unrest and political polarisation.
By 1981, unemployment had escalated dramatically and Margaret
Thatcher's popularity had plummeted. Victory in the Falklands
revived Tory fortunes, but the unpopularity of the Labour Party
also helped. The IRA's Brighton bomb nearly wiped out Thatcher
and her cabinet, and stunned the public. But throughout these
years, there were moments of celebration. Prince Charles married
Lady Diana Spencer in July 1981, and England won the Ashes that
summer. The decade ended on a note of hope: reform in the Soviet
Union spread outwards and in 1989 the Berlin Wall fell. The Cold
War was over.

the favourite characters played by Tommy, Jack Train, Dorothy
Summers, Fred Yule, Hattie Jacques and Derek Guyler. The episodes
are: Navy (13 January 1944), RAF (17 February
1944), Army (13 April 1944), Royal Command Show

| Ross
Noble Goes Global: Series 2
This brilliant new BBC Radio 4 series of comedy travelogues is
presented by award-winning stand-up and Just a Minute
regular Ross Noble. In the first episode, Ross travels to Brussels
- a city with a reputation a little on the dull side. But he soon
finds out that with chocolate on every corner, a puzzling statue
of an incontinent child, and the honour of being associated with
the always-exciting Jean-Claude Van Damme, Brussels might be his
kind of city after all. Half hilarious comedy routines, half cultural
observations, these shows are both a tempting taster of the cities
he visits and a perfect opportunity to spend some time in the
wacky, whimsical, fantastically funny world of Ross Noble.

Sherlock Holmes full-cast
dramatisations are now available singly on CD. Previously, these
titles were only available in the boxed set but now you can pick
and choose from this extraordinary collection that dramatises
the full BBC canon of Arthur Conan Doyle's short stories and novels.
The BBC Radio Collection project involved publishing, for what
we believe to be the first time on audio, all the Arthur Conan
Doyle stories and novels featuring Holmes and Watson. The series
has the same team of directors, producers, dramatisers and leading
actors - Clive Merrison as Holmes and Michael Williams as Watson.
Acclaim for the series has been widespread: 'A remarkable
undertaking - the dramatisation of all 56 Sherlock Holmes short
stories. Applauding them, and particularly Clive Merrison's Holmes,
made my hands sore.' Peter Davalle, The Times. |
