Read by Tom Hollander. As a boy, Daniel Rooke was always an outsider. At school he learned to hide his clever thoughts from his cruel peers; at home his parents were bemused by their bookish son. Daniel could only hope
- against all the evidence
- that he would one day find his place in life. By 1788, Daniel has become Lieutenant Rooke, astronomer with the First Fleet as it lands on the unknown shores of New South Wales. As the newcomers struggle to establish a settlement for themselves & their cargo of convicts, & attempts are made to communicate with those who already inhabit this l&, Rooke sets up his observatory to chart the stars. But the place where they have landed will prove far more revelatory than the night sky. Out on his isolated point, Rooke comes to know the local Aboriginal people, & forges a remarkable connection with one child, that will change his life in ways he never imagined.

' The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling but in rising every time we fall'- Nelson Mandela Celebrated as an international hero upon his release from prison in 1990, Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela is one of the 20th century's towering leaders. Mandela rose from poverty, against overwhelming odds, to become president of the richest, most culturally diverse country in Africa. He endured more than 27 years in jail for trying to overthrow a white police state, becoming the world's most famous political prisoner. In 1994, he led vote-less black South Africans from the racist apartheid period into a democratic era. He is an educated man, a lawyer, a democrat, a shrewd observer of human behavior, a disciplined politician who led a military uprising against an inhuman system, a best-selling & wealthy author, & a winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Mandela personifies struggle. He continues to speak out against global injustice with the extraordinary vigour & resilience of a man who spent nearly three decades of his life behind bars. He has sacrificed his private & family life for his people, & remains South Africa's best known & most beloved hero. But there is much myth around Mandela. His real story is, in many ways, more compelling than the romantic myth. Featuring interviews with Nobel Prize Winners Nadine Gordimer & F.W. De Klerk; Robben Island co-prisoners Ahmed Kathrada, Mac Maharaj & Tokyo Sexwale; Mandela biographers Alister Sparks, Anthony Sampson & Charlene Smith; & Mandela's friends & family, THE LIFE & TIMES OF NELSON MANDELA reveals a story unknown to the world beyond his inner circle. Mandela talks of his love of children, how apartheid affected him, facing the death sentence, how he survived prison, won over his enemies, & overcame prejudice. He also speaks about the pain of his marriage to Winnie Madikizela-Mandela, with whom he had two daughters. In an interview, Winnie talks about her first meeting with Mandela, the last time they were home together, & how she survived torture & scandal Approx run time is 42 minutes. ...
