Story of the business war between Sky and BSB in their race to control the Satellite Television marketplace. Though entertaining and often humourous, "Dished!" is also a commentary on the debate about the future of television in the UK.
Newly updated to 2012 and the Leveson Inquiry, Stick It Up Your Punter! is the classic story of the Sun newspaper, its part in the rise of Rupert Murdoch's business empire, and the extraordinary role it came to play in British society and politics. From Murdoch's purchase and rebranding of the old loss-making Sun in 1969, through the soaraway-successful and often scandalous years of success under foul-mouthed editor Kelvin MacKenzie, to the 'phone-hacking' disgrace of 2012 which put Murdoch's business affairs under scrutiny as never before - this is the story of the paper that, for better or worse, redefined 'tabloid journalism'. '[This] anarchic account... could be a script for Carry On Up Fleet Street.' Alan Rusbridger, Guardian 'The funniest book of the year, perhaps of the decade.' Times 'Splendidly racy.' Economist 'A story which social and political historians of the 20th century will not find easy to ignore.' London Review of Books
It is December 1999 and, as the millennium approaches, all is not well in the Land of the Gods. The deities, engrossed in their petty squabbles, are bored out of their immortal skulls with the hapless earthlings in their charge. So when GOD, the central computer running the universe, offers them the alternative of endless virtual reality games in Mega Retroland, they jump at the chance to shrug off their responsibilities forever. While GOD continues to send streams of inconsequential e-mails, it seems only mighty Jupiter, and his equally powerful consort Juno, are left to care about the disintegration of mortal society. Until Cupid hacks into GOD's mainframe and uncovers a sinister plot, masterminded by the Beast in the Machine. Suddenly the race is on. Are the gods doomed? Or can they fight back in time to save not just themselves, but all of us on Planet Earth?
