Peg's Boys
It's 1953: eight-year-old Jono's parents abruptly leave show business and move home to the heart of industrial South Wales. Born in a provincial theatre, show business is all Jono knows, but his life is about to change forever. After a life on the road, he finds unusual solace amongst the characters of Cwm Teg, most significantly in the home of the exotic Peg and her boys, Pip and Frankie. Over a summer of adventure, discovery, coming of age and sexual awakening, Jono learns that family isn't always what you'd expect. And as his friendship with Peg's boys turns into an unshakeable bond, Jono realises that his whole life will be affected by them and the pull of the valleys.
My Heart is Bleeding
As a young girl toiling in a South Wales tin works, Dorothy Squires dreamt of being a singing star, but was ridiculed by all around her. At the tender age of sixteen she escaped the valleys and boarded a train for London. It was here that she met and fell in love with songwriter and band leader Billy Reid, the older man who was to make her a star. The pair became an international success, but the relationship foundered, and Dorothy found herself falling in love with the much younger Roger Moore, a struggling actor who she would spend all her time establishing as a star. Written by Dorothy's good friend Jonny Tudor, this fascinating first biography of a Welsh singing phenomenon is an unprecedented insight into the glitz and glamour of 1940s and '50s Hollywood and Dorothy's triumphant comeback in the 1960s and '70s.

The British Television Pilot Episodes Research Guide 1936-2015
A new idea can become an expensive flop for TV executives. So from the earliest days of television, the concept of a pilot episode seemed like a good idea. Trying out new actors; new situations and new concepts before making a series was good economical sense. It was also tax deductible. Sometimes these pilots were shown on television; sometimes they were so awful they were hidden from sight in archives; and sometimes they were excellent one-offs, but a series seemed elusive and never materialised. Chris Perry has always been fascinated by the pilot episode. So many pilots are made annually, but never seen by audiences. Only a handful appear on screen. It's a hidden world of comedy, variety, drama and factual programming. This volume attempts to lift the lid on the world of the TV pilot by revealing the many transmitted and untransmitted episodes made through the decades.
