Joy Division changed the
face of music. Godfathers
of the current
alternative scene, they
reinvented rock in the
post-punk era, creating
a new sound - dark,
hypnotic, intense - that
would influence U2,
R.E.M., Radiohead and
many others. Inspired by
the attitude and energy
of punk, Peter Hook and
school friend Bernard
Sumner joined lead-singer
and lyricist Ian Curtis
and drummer Stephen
Morris, and with some
cobbled-together
instruments, they
created their own unique
sound. In 1980 they had
released two albums and
were on the cusp of
touring America when Ian
Curtis committed suicide.
In this no-holds-barred
account, Peter Hook
gives us the inside story
of life with Joy
Division. He talks with
candour and reflection
about Curtis's suicide
and covers the band's
friendships and
fall-outs; their
rehearsals and recording
sessions; and the many
larger-than-life
characters who formed a
vital part of the Joy
Division legend. Read by

Inspired by the real-life
memoirs of a Victorian
Inspector in Scotland,
James McLevy prowls the
dark streets of 1860s
Edinburgh bringing
criminals to justice,
with the assistance of
Constable Mulholland. In
"For Unto Us", it is
Christmas, but McLevy
doubts that peace on
Earth and goodwill to all
men will apply among the
criminal fraternity of
Leith. Sure enough, as
snow falls on the cobbled
streets, the Inspector
and Constable Mulholland
find themselves on the
icy trail of an ingenious
cat-burglar. The Trophy
Club sees McLevy blocked
at every turn in his
efforts to solve the
cruel murder of a young
prostitute. Convinced
that the killer is from
the highest level of
Edinburgh society, he
unwisely decides to bend
the rules - with bitter
consequences. It features
two atmospheric BBC Radio
4 full-cast
dramatisations, starring
Brian Cox as McLevy,
Siobhan Redmond as Jean
Brash and Michael
Perceval-Maxwell as
Mulholland.

After rewriting history
with their discovery of a
Nazi U-boat off the coast
of New Jersey, legendary
divers John Chatterton
and Richie Kohler decided
to investigate the great
enduring mystery of
history's most notorious
shipwreck: Why did
Titanic sink as quickly
as it did? To answer the
question, Chatterton and
Kohler assemble a team of
experts to explore
Titanic, study its
engineering, and dive to
the wreck of its sister
ship, Brittanic, where
Titanic's last secrets
may be revealed.
Titanic's Last Secrets is
a rollercoaster ride
through the shipbuilding
history, the
transatlantic luxury
liner business, and
shipwreck forensics. If
Titanic had remained
afloat for just two hours
longer than she did,
more than two thousand
people would have lived
instead of died, and the
myth of the great ship
would be one of rescue
instead of tragedy.
Titanic's Last Secrets is
the never-before-told
story of the Ship of
Dreams, a contemporary
adventure that solves a
historical mystery.

Details: Chief Inspector
Wexford tries to solve a
murder with no evidence,
not even a body. Anita
Margolis had vanished.
There was no body, no
crime - nothing more than
an anonymous letter and
the intriguing name of
Smith. According to HQ,
it wasn't to be a murder
enquiry at all. In fact,
Inspector Burden has no
trouble seeing a pattern
in the Margolis case.
Anita was wealthy,
flighty, and thoroughly
immoral. Decent women had
clean, tidy homes, and
were either married or
had jobs, or both - they
didn't live with
eccentric brothers and
bring lovers home in the
afternoon. And they knew
better than to keep their
money in their handbags.
It was clear as daylight
to Inspector Burden what
had happened to Anita
Margolis. Chief Inspector
Wexford however, had
other ideas. Read by
George Baker. Ideal for:
All Ruth Rendell fans!

approximately: 3 hours. 3

From John Wyndham,
author of "The Day of the
Triffids", comes this
chilling tale of a normal
boy confronted with
abnormal circumstances.
Matthew had always been
an ordinary boy. Even
when he started talking
to himself and introduced
his invisible friend
Chocky to the family, it
was obviously just a
phase he was going
through. And all children
have imaginary friends,
even if Matthew's a bit
old to have one. As he
becomes increasingly
distressed and blames it
on arguments with this
unseen companion, his
parents become
concerned.But when
Matthew starts explaining
binary maths and
anti-gravity propulsion,
concerns turn to worry.
After all, Chocky is
only the product of an
overactive imagination.
Isn't he? Chocky stars
Sacha Dhawan ("The
History Boys") as
Matthew, Owen Teale
("Ballykissangel") and
Cathy Tyson ("Mona
Lisa"), with Kathryn
Hunt ("Angela Harris in
Coronation Street") and
Holly Grainger (Megan
Boothe in "Where the
Heart Is"). This CD
release also includes an
introductory sleeve note
recounting the making of
the radio adaptation,

Read by Robert Glenister.
Tom Thorne's career is on
the skids. Depressed by
the recent loss of his
father, berated for
overstepping the mark on
his last case, he's been
'encouraged' to take
leave. It's a fairly dire
situation. But not as
dire as the situation for
London's homeless. Three
vagrants have been found
murdered in the last
month, each with a ?20
note pinned to his chest.
Were they just random
jetsam - or were they
targeted for a reason?
With his deputy, Dave
Holland, as his only
contact, Thorne is
seconded to the streets.
Not as a policeman, but
as one of life's rejects.
It fits: he looks the
part - and feels it as
well. In this twilight
netherworld he finds a
society with its own
rules and its own moral
code. And the word on
these streets is that the
killer is a cop.

At the end of her
bestselling memoir Eat,
Pray, Love, Elizabeth
Gilbert fell in love with
Felipe - a Brazilian-born
man of Australian
citizenship who'd been
living in Indonesia when
they met. Resettling in
America, the couple
swore eternal fidelity to
each other, but also
swore to never, ever,
under any circumstances
get legally married.
(Both survivors of
difficult divorces.
Enough said.) But
providence intervened one
day in the form of the
U.S. government, who -
after unexpectedly
detaining Felipe at an
American border crossing
- gave the couple a
choice: they could either
get married, or Felipe
would never be allowed to
enter the country again.
Having been effectively
sentenced to wed,
Gilbert tackled her fears
of marriage by delving
completely into this
topic, trying with all
her might to discover
(through historical
research, interviews and
much personal reflection)
what this stubbornly
enduring old institution
actually is. The result
is Committed - a witty
and intelligent
contemplation of marriage
that debunks myths,
unthreads fears and
suggests that sometimes
even the most romantic of
souls must trade in her
amorous fantasies for the
humbling responsibility
of adulthood. Gilbert's
memoir - destined to
become a cherished
handbook for any thinking
person hovering on the
verge of marriage - is
ultimately a clear-eyed
celebration of love,
with all the complexity
and consequence that real
love, in the real world,
actually entails. Read

Details: On 2 June 1953,
27-year-old Princess
Elizabeth of York was
crowned Queen, the eyes
of the world upon her as
she dedicated herself to
her country. It is
fascinating to look back
over the sixty years
since then and see how
this remarkable woman,
decade by decade, has
brought the monarchy into
the modern world,
earning admiration and
respect for her unerring
sense of duty, her
determination to
innovate, her tremendous
dignity, integrity and
wisdom. Drawing from his
own experience and time
spent with the royal
family, alongside
additional meticulous
research, Alan
Titchmarsh observes the
woman, the mother and
the monarch. He explores
key moments in her reign,
both personal to her and
in a wider historical
context, and traces how
our relationship with the
royal family has
developed and morphed,
gone through ups and
downs, but is arguably
now stronger than ever in
this very special
anniversary year.
Featuring wonderful
memorabilia and rarely
seen archive photography,
Elizabeth II: Her Life,
Our Times defines an era,
pays tribute to our
inexhaustable Queen and
celebrates the example of
responsibility, loyalty
and patriotism she has
set for generations past,
present and future. She
is an inspiration to us
all. Read by Alan
Titchmarsh and John
Telfer Ideal for: Anyone
who wants to learn more
about the Queen and her
extraordinary life.

that the only way to stop
the ceaseless slaughter
is to end the emperor's

the poor struggle to stay

fields of battle where so
few heroes survive,

There must be someone to
listen. In his work as a
practicing psychoanalyst,
Stephen Grosz has spent

in the consulting room
can reveal as much to him
as to the patient. These
are stories about our

people we love and the
lies that we tell; the
changes we bear, and the
grief. Ultimately, they
show us not only how we
lose ourselves but how we
might find ourselves,
