- Bleak
House
At the Court of
Chancery the interminable suit of Jarndyce and Jarndyce becomes the centre
of a web of relationships at all levels, from Sir Leicester Dedlock to Jo
the crossing-sweeper, and a metaphor for the decay and corruption at the
heart of English society.
- Crime
And Punishment
A dark and compelling
study of a young intellectual tempted towards crime through severe
penury.Raskolnikov, a former student who is morbidly self-obsessed, murders
an old woman money-lender with a borrowed hatchet in a desperate attempt to
rid himself of poverty. From the opening pages Dostoyevsky attaches us
unflinchingly to his intense and mysterious anti-hero, creating a web of
intimacy and tension which is increasingly claustrophobic. Crime and guilt -
its traumatic and inevitable successor - are the central themes running
through the novel and the notions of 'justifiable' murder and worldly
retribution are depicted with a deft and razor-sharp precision.Crime and
Punishment both haunts and disturbs, yet, as the critic John Jones wrote, it
is 'the most accessible and exciting novel in the world'.

Copperfield
Humorous, dramatic,
ironic and tender, David Copperfield has always been one of Dickens's most

Splendow, David beings to learn about life, the world, and the heart. His
path to maturity is filled with memorable characters, the Micawbers, Uriah
Heep, Steerforth and many more. Told as 'autobiography' David Copperfield
draws deeply on Dickens's own life and was his own 'favourite child' among
his books.

Daniel
Kitson
Daniel Kitson is the
perfect antidote to the slick, laddish, sex and drugs comics that pervade the
circuit. With his wild hair, wilder beard, lisp, stutter, coke bottle glasses
and appalling dress sense, he's not exactly the epitome of confident style. But
then, that's the root of his unique comedy - that of the hopeless inadequate
struggling to get by. He's an un-trendy, slightly reactionary figure baffled and
angered by the harsh world, yet too socially inept to do anything about it.
Paradoxically, though, this awkward misfit can take command of the most rowdy of
audiences, unleashing a relentless slew of acid put downs and demonstrating an
unequalled mastery of swearing. In short: he is a natural born comic.

- The
Long Goodbye (BBC Full Cast Dramatisation)
Ed Bishop stars as
Philip Marlowe in this powerfully atmospheric BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of
Raymond Chandler's novel about the cynical, world-weary, wise cracking
shamus whose honesty in a dishonest world sent him down the mean streets
again and again in search of some kind of justice.Terry Lennox seemed like a
nice guy. Okay, he was a drunk but maybe that could happen to anyone with
too much money, too much time and a wife who played the field in a big way.
Trouble was, when she ended up dead, it wasn't money that got Lennox to
Mexico. It was Marlowe.

- Shopaholic
Abroad
For Rebecca Bloomwood,
life is peachy. She has a job on morning TV, telling people how to manage
their money - a subject on which she is an expert. Her bank manager is
actually being nice to her, despite being just a tad overdrawn. And the
icing on the brioche is that her boyfriend is moving to New York ...and has
asked her to go with him. New York! The Museum of Modern Art! The
Guggenheim! The Metropolitan Opera House - And Becky does mean to go to all
these. Honestly - it's just that it seems silly not to check out a few other
places first. Like Bloomingdales. And Saks. And that amusing little place
she's been told about where you can sometimes get a Prada dress for $10. Or
was it $100? Anyway, it's full of fantastic bargains. "Shopaholic
Abroad" - because there just aren't enough shops in Britain.

escape her flatmate's carping; Dee Burke is engrossed in her affair; Kev
Kennedy has a side to his character hidden even from his family; Celis Ryan
has to face her mother making a drunken exhibition of herself - and Tom has
his reasons. Meave Binchy's vibrant characters, with all their joys and
sadness, are brilliantly brought to life by Kate Binchy.
- The
Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic
Meet Rebecca Bloomwood.
She's a journalist. She spends her working life telling others how to manage
their money. She spends her leisure time ...shopping. Retail therapy is the
answer to all her problems. She knows she should stop, but she can't. She
tries Cutting Back, she tries Making More Money. But neither seems to work.
The stories she concocts become more and more fantastic as she tries to
untangle her increasingly dire financial difficulties. Her only comfort is
to buy herself something - just a little something...Can Becky ever escape
from this dream world, find true love, and regain the use of her Switch
card? "The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic"...the perfect pick
me up for when it's all hanging in the (bank) balance.

homework, Michel teaches the basic grammar of the language painlessly. Using

the ideas that you are trying to communicate, rather than to translate words
slavishly. He points out the similarities of the vocabulary in English and
French and gives you the tools to guess the words you do not know, or think
you do not know. In the 'Language Builders' Michel consolidates and expands
your knowledge of structures and vocabulary.

ever. This radio drama is the completed version broadcast in 1963 which
includes several passages that were omitted from the first recording in
