Set in 1950s Sudan, Lyrics Alley is the story of the powerful & sprawling Abuzied dynasty. With Mahmood Bey at its helm, the family can do no wrong. But when Mahmood's son, Nur
- the brilliant, charming heir to his business empire
- suffers a near-fatal accident, his hopes of university & a glittering future are dashed. Subsequently, his betrothal to his cousin & sweetheart, Soraya is broken off, another tragedy that he is almost unable to bear. As British rule is coming to an end, & the country is torn between modernising influences & the call of traditions past, the family is divided. Mahmood's second wife, Nabilah, longs to return to Egypt & leave behind her the dust of 'backward-looking' Sudan. His first wife, Waheeba, lives traditionally behind veils & closed doors & resents Nabilah's influence on Mahmood. Meanwhile, Nur must find a way to live again in the world & find peace. Moving from the villages of Sudan to cosmopolitan Cairo & a decimated post-colonial Britain, this is a sweeping tale of loss, faith & reconciliation.

The I`m Sorry I Haven`t A Clue team of Barry Cryer, Graeme Garden & Tim Brooke-Taylor, in the company of their esteemed chairman Humphrey Lyttelton, have been recording their BBC radio show around the UK for longer than any of them can remember.. .that`s about a week
- or twenty minutes in the case of Barry Cryer. At each venue Humph would present a short history of the location, written by Iain Pattinson, to the mutual delight of the audience, the team & their delightful scorer Samantha (who somehow always found time for a rewarding poke around the area`s backstreets). We are privileged to present, in gazetteer form, the very best of Humph`s local histories form Radio 4`s multi award-winning `antidote to panel games`. As accurate as ” Wikipedia” & as comprehensive as ” Reader`s Digest”, this unique guide tells you everything you never knew you wouldn`t ever need to know about the background & inhabitants of Britain`s most prominent towns & cities. The intelligent reader will waste no time in adding it to their collection. Bristol It was from Bristol in 1497 that John Cabot set off to find a new route to the Spice Islands by sailing north-west. He instead discovered a strange, hostile world which he named ` Newfoundland`, until the natives explained that they actually called it ` Swansea`. Nottingham It`s well documented in official records that the city`s original name was ` Snottingham` or `home of Snotts`, but when the Normans came, they couldn`t pronounce the initial letter `S`, so decreed the town be called ` Nottingham`or the `home of Notts`. It`s easy to understand why this change was resisted so fiercely by the people of Scunthorpe. Brighton a settlement is first recorded in Brighton as long as ago as 3000 BC, when Celtic Druids practised their ancient worship of oaks, mistletoe & virgins, & indeed, oaks & mistletoe are still plentiful in Brighton.
