Olympick Vision (Radio 3 Sunday Feature)

by Ed Smith

4,41€ + 10% CARD

 The story of how Britain's Olympic journey started 400 years ago - in the Cotswolds. It was once thought that the modern Olympics was the brainchild of Baron Pierre de Coubertin alone and put into action in Greece in 1896. The man himself encouraged the myth. But in this programme former England cricketer Ed Smith goes back to the real rebirth of the Olympic, or rather the 'Olympick', idea and the games held by Captain Robert Dover on the hill above the Cotswold town of Chipping Campden - exactly four hundred years ago, in 1612. With the former Olympic sprinter and historian Peter Radford as his guide, Ed picks his way through the Cotswold games story and questions why Robert Dover's name is only the merest footnote in the Modern Olympic story. And, he asks, why was it that Britain should nurture both the ideas and events that took place every year on Kingcombe Plain, later to be renamed Dover's Hill? Producer: Tom Alban.

Another Case Of Milton Jones The Complete - Series 5

by James Cary e Milton Jones

6,63€ + 10% CARD

 In this fifh series, Milton Jones gets another opportunity to be a complete and utter expert at something, and these six episodes see him taking on the roles of Astronomer, Diplomat, Undercover Journalist, Celebrity Gardener, Royal Speech Therapist or Lorry Driver. In each episode, with absolutely no ability or competence, he plunges into a furiously funny and fast-paced adventure with utterly hilarious results. In Episode One, move over Brian Cox, because Milton Jones is now a world-famous astronomer and seeker after scientific truth and accuracy. Typical Sagittarian. Episode Two and Milton is an International Diplomat who is on the run after leaking all the UN's emails - except for the Swiss ones, which were far too dull. In Episode Three, he crosses stamens with a deadly rival in the vicious cutthroat world of gardening, and in Episode Four, in a little tribute to a well-known film, Milton becomes the Royal Speech Therapist. And so he helps a Prince find his voice and a King find his pomegranates. After that comes Episode Five, where Milton Jones is the king of the world of refrigerated haulage with his very own fleet of iced lorries, and has to face a bitter rival more deadly than one of his mum's transport caff's all-day breakfasts. And in the final episode, Milton becomes Britain's best-known undercover journalist. Which means that Milton also becomes Britain's most least-effective undercover journalist. The man they call 'Britain's funniest Milton' stars in his Sony Award-winning show, co-starring Tom Goodman-Hill (Ideal), Lucy Montgomery (Down The Line), Margaret Cabourn-Smith (Miranda), Ben Willbond (Horrible Histories), Dan Tetsell (Mongrels) and Dave Lamb (the voice of Come Dine With Me.)

Life And Fate - A Bbc Radio 4 Full-Cast Dramatisation

by Vasily Grossman

14,35€ + 10% CARD

 Kenneth Branagh stars in BBC Radio 4's ambitious eight-hour dramatisation of Life and Fate, Vasily Grossman's epic masterpiece set during the Battle of Stalingrad. Viktor, a nuclear physicist, is evacuated with his family from Moscow eastwards to Kazan. It's October 1942 and the Russians are defending Stalingrad from the ferocious attack of the Germans. Viktor has a revelatory breakthrough in his research, but his wife Lyuda learns of the death of her son and her grief drives a wedge between the couple: Viktor is drawn to the kindness of Marya, the wife of his close colleague. This powerful work, completed in 1960, charts the fate of both a nation and a family in the turmoil of war. Its comparison of Stalinism with Nazism was considered by Soviet authorities to be so dangerous that the KGB placed the manuscript under arrest, and Grossman was informed his book would not be published for at least 200 years. Having been a household name as one of Russia's most distinguished war correspondents, Grossman died aged 58 - the banning of his book hastening the end of his life - and he would never know the fate of his masterpiece: smuggled out of the Soviet Union on microfilm, to freedom and eventual publication in the West. Today it is increasingly hailed as the most important Russian novel of the 20th Century.

Plus, Clare is thrilled to discover an Irish ancestor; goes out to visit everyone's clients when the rest of the team is hit by a vomiting bug; and tangles with the local vicar while paying a house call. Then there's the stray dog that keeps following her around; and the chance meeting at Toddler Tunes that could change her life... Sally Phillips stars as Clare, with Alex Lowe as Brian, Nina Conti as Megan/Nali, Sarah Kendall as Libby, Richard Lumsden as Ray and Liza Tarbuck as Helen.
