Best Walks on Exmoor
Straddling the counties of Somerset and Devon, Exmoor measures approximately 21 miles west to east and 15 miles north to south. Exmoor may be one of the smallest National Parks but what it lacks in size it makes up for in beauty and contrast, affording walkers a diverse landscape to explore. Like its fictional heroine Lorna Doone, Exmoor is both wild and gentle. It's easy to see why author R D Blackmore chose it as the setting for his novel about a family of outlaws expelled from Scotland who came south and terrorised the locals. The scenery stirs the imagination, thanks to the coastline of stark cliffs lining the Bristol Channel, the wooded valleys, the tumbling streams and the wild, empty moors. This book provides the reader with thirty of the area's best walks. From short distance routes for those with young children to longer treks for experienced walkers, each one is detailed, and includes a basic sketch map and new colour photography.
The Good Life
The Good Life is one of those mile-stone situation comedies. Richard Briers as Tom Good and his improbably perky wife Barbara - Felicity Kendal, the most famous recipient of the 'Rear of the Year' award - dig up their back and front gardens and go self sufficient. March 2000 sees the 25th anniversary of the first showing of The Good Life. To mark the event we will publish this 'official' celebration book contributed to and endorsed by the writers Bob Larbey & John Esmonde - whose other success's include Please Sir and Ever Decreasing Circles - who have made available the original scripts and behind the scenes photographs as well as personal anecdotes. The book will review the history of programme including how the original idea was developed. There are character and main actor profiles, and first hand interviews with Felicity Kendal, Richard Briers and Penelope Keith. An important additional feature in the book are the stories of real people who were inspired by the programme to try 'The Good Life' for themselves. Finally, there will be an episode-by-episode guide including a cast-list, original transmission date and quotes and memories from special guests.
Porridge
Regarded by many critics as one of Britain's best sitcoms, Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais' tales of life inside Slade Prison first hit the screens in 1973. Three series were transmitted before the prison show finally closed its doors in 1977. But it has never faded from the nation's consciousness. Ronnie Barker, as Fletch the old lag, and Richard Beckinsale, as Godber the naive first-time offender, are among television history's finest comic creations. This book tells the behind-the-scenes story of how the series came to be made.
The Predictive Postcode

Porridge
You can count the number of truly classic British sitcoms on one hand. However, Porridge will be one of the first programmes to register for inclusion. Undoubtedly one of the real gems, the prison-based show starring the late Ronnie Barker as the loveable rascal, Fletcher, transcends the generations.

The Complete A-Z of Dad's Army
'The success of Dad's Army can be summed up in a line from the first episode when the bumptious Captain Mainwaring says: "The machine-guns could have a clear field of fire from here to Timothy White's ... if it wasn't for that woman in the telephone box."' The Independent Dad's Army is quite simply the most successful British TV sitcom of all time. 80 episodes were made and are constantly repeated. The first black-and-white series, re-shown for the first time in 1999, attracted 4.6m viewers outperforming Have I got News for You and very nearly outstripping Channel Four's most popular programme Friends. When the second series was shown on Saturday nights in 1998 it took 7 million viewers and ...
Portsmouth Cemeteries
Portsmouth Cemeteries, a photographic study of this city's cemeteries, uncovers a compelling history of the area from the Colonial era to the 1900s. These cemeteries provide a direct link to the past, where many stories are told in stone. The gravestones and monuments feature unusual works of art, and the inscriptions act as documents that preserve family histories, valiant military service, and memories of those lost at sea. Through the author's collection of photographs, readers can see how gravestones evolved over time and learn about some of Portsmouth's own practitioners in the art of stone carving.
