Becoming Minister of Defence as well as Prime Minister in May 1940, Winston Churchill was ready to get his hands dirty & take personal control of military policy.

With full responsibility for Britains success or failure in war effort, he would be faced with monumental challenges & crucial decisions upon which the fate of Britain & the free world rest.

How to respond to the collapse of France was one example of this & ordering Admiral Sommerville to sink the French fleet at Mers-el-Kebir demonstrated to the world that he was determined to wage war whatever the cost may be.

But should Churchill have concentrated on the defence of the realm or take the war to the enemy?

Where should any offensive action be focused? How much support should be offered to the Soviet Union?

Delve into the insightful investigation into Churchills conduct during the Second World War as Allen Packwood shares the agonies & uncertainties faced at each crucial stage.

If you're a man of a certain age you'll know there comes a point in life when getting a sports car & over-analysing your contribution to society sounds like a really good idea. With a good job in sales & marketing & a nice house in Manchester that he shared with his wife & kids, John Bishop was no different when he turned the dreaded 4-0. But instead of spanking a load of cash on a car that would have made him look like a senior stylist at Vidal Sassoon, he stumbled onto a pathway that ultimately lead him to become one of the nation's best loved comedians. It was a gamble, but boy, did it pay off. How Did All This Happen? is the story of how a boy who, growing up on a council estate dreaming of ousting Kenny Dalglish from Liverpool FC's starting line-up, suddenly found himself on stage in front of thousands of people nationwide, at an age when he should have known better. In his own inimitable style, John guides us through his life from leaving the estate & travelling the globe on a shoe string, to marriage, kids & the split that led him to being on a stage complaining to strangers one night
- the night that changed his life & started his journey to stardom. Wonderfully entertaining & packed with colourful reminiscences & comical anecdotes, this is a heart-warming, life-affirming & ultimately very, very funny memoir from one of the nation's greatest comedians.
