Doctor Who: The Ruby’s Curse

Steve Tribe

The Time Lords are an immensely civilised, and immensely powerful, race. Yet we know very little about them, save that they can live forever (barring accidents) and possess the secrets of space and time travel. Their history has been shrouded in myth and mystery. Until now. 
 
A Brief History of Time Lords unlocks the secrets of this ancient, legendary alien race - a civilisation that inflicted some of its most notorious renegades and criminals on the universe, but was also the benevolent power that rid the cosmos of its most fearsome enemies. Drawn from the ancient records of Gallifrey, and handed down from generation to generation, this remarkable book reveals the Time Lords in all of their guises: pioneers and power-mad conspirators, time-travellers and tyrants, creators and destroyers. 
 
Be careful who you share it with.

Charles Dickens

A new star-studded adaptation of Charles Dickens' classic Little Dorrit for BBC1 starts this November. 
 
The 15-part serial was adapted by highly acclaimed writer Andrew Davies, also responsible for the very successful Bleak House (2005) and Sense and Sensibility (2008). This is the official TV tie-in edition to the serial, including an exclusive introduction by Andrew Davies about his experience of adapting Little Dorrit for TV. 
 
William Dorrit is a long-term inmate in the debtors' prison, Marshalsea. He must stay there until his fortune improves and his debt is paid. For her entire life so far, his daughter Amy has faithfully nursed him in jail. Trying to keep herself out of debt she works as a seamstress for the stern Mrs Clennam. When Mrs Clennam's son, Arthur, returns home from years abroad working for the family business, Amy's life begins to change. As some shocking truths emerge, and as the fortunes of the Dorrits and the Clennams rise and fall by equally dramatic means, it is clear that no one is safe from Marshalsea.

A Quick Read

Jonathan Lynn

Antony Jay

'We have had diaries from other Cabinet Ministers, but none I 
think which have been quite so illuminating... It is a 
fascinating diary... It is shorter than Barbara Castle's... and 
although it is rather more accurate than Dick Crossman's, it 
is distinctly funnier' - Lord Allen of Abbeydale (formerly 
Permanent Secretary at the Home Office) in The Times 
 
'It has an entertainment and educational value which is 
unique. It is uproariously funny and passes the acid test of 
becoming more amusing at every subsequent reading... I will 
go so far as to claim that in the characters of Jim Hacker and 
Sir Humphrey Appleby, Messrs Lynn and Jay have created 
something as immortal as P.G. Wodehouse's Bertie Wooster 
and Jeeves' - Brian Walden in The Standard

The Complete Yes Minister

Anthony Jay

'Scalpel-sharp in observation, deceptively simple 
in construction... at its frequent best 
Yes Prime Minister exhibits the classical perfection of a 
Mozart sonata' - Richard Last in The Times 
 
'Its closely observed portrayal of what goes on in the 
corridors of power has given me hours of pure joy' 
- Rt Hon. Margaret Thatcher MP 
 
'Yes Prime Minister... is not only a continuing marvel of 
editing by Jonathan Lynn and Antony Jay but also a 
collector's must' - John Coldstream in the Daily Telegraph 
 
'Yes Prime Minister is a comedy in a class of its own' 
- Celia Brayfield in The Times
