Sorry I Haven't A Clue 10
This new compilation of the hugely popular and award-winning Radio
4 Series sees the gang returning in a tenth collection for further
moments of mayhem, puns and one-liners; not forgetting a healthy
dose of innuendo and double entendre. Regulars Tim Brooke-Taylor,
Barry Cryer and Graeme Garden - and special guests - are given
silly things to do by chairman Humphrey Lyttelton.

| Jack
Rosenthal's Last Act
An inspiring autobiography written by the man who penned such
memorable classics as Bar Mitzvah Boy, The Evacuees, London's
Burning, The Knowledge and P'tang Yang, Kipperbang.
Jack Rosenthal had always resisted writing an autobiography until
he hit on an original way of writing it: as a screenplay with
himself as the central character, the storyline that of his own
life, the supporting cast drawn from the many wonderful and sometimes
eccentric people who touched, shaped and shared that life. The
story moves from Manchester in the 1930s to his school days, evacuation,
university, the Navy, the early days of Granada TV (he wrote 129
pioneering episodes of Coronation Street), the Busby
Boys, marriage and life with Maureen Lipman, fatherhood and
writing the famous plays.

Paul
Temple and the Harkdale Robbery
It wasn't quite an ordinary robbery. The bank lost £42,000,
and a policeman lost his life, and the robbers were caught almost
immediately. But in the bag where the money should have been there
was only a copy of the Concise Oxford Dictionary. And in the garage
where Paul Temple's car should have been there was the body of
a dead robber. That was enough to embroil him in one of the strangest
cases of his life. One that took him deep into the bowels of the
underworld and placed him face to face with Mr Master Mind.

| Just
a Classic Minute
Volume 4
Nicholas Parsons presents four more specially-selected archive
episodes of the ever-popular comedy panel game from its early
days. Its mix of irreverent fun and ferocious competition has
always attracted stellar names from the world of comedy and theatre,
and in this case Sheila Hancock, Lance Percival, Wendy Richard,
Tommy Trinder, Stephen Fry and Jan Ravens pit their wits –
and their wit – against regular players Kenneth Williams,
Derek Nimmo, Clement Freud, Peter Jones and Paul Merton. Nicholas
Parsons, who has been at the helm of the series since it began,
as chairman and occasionally as player, introduces this sparkling
quartet of editions and provides fascinating background information
on the game.
The episodes are: 8 December 1969, 11 April 1989, 7 March 1978,
5 March 1994.
