'Doctor Who fans may well have found a new love-object' - "The Guardian." 'A winning blend of Doomwatch, Quatermass and British silliness that has cult written all over it' - "The Times". The year is 2099 and Professor Nebulous (Mark Gatiss, "League of Gentlemen") is the director of eco-troubleshooting organisation K.E.N.T. - the Key Environmental Nonjudgemental Taskforce.

In a post-apocalyptic England, cattle-clasm has wiped out the majority of the livestock, there are new months such as Octember and Janril, and climate change has formed a drizzly new season called Hamble. Nebulous is determined to get Mother Earth back on the right track, nevertheless he must pit his wits against sentient dust, killer cacti, naked aliens and the evil Dr Klench (David Warner, "Titanic", "Star Trek VI") who's bent on world domination. Can K.E.N.T. save the day before the spin cycle finishes? "Nebulous" also stars Graham Crowden, Paul Putner and Rosie Cavaliero, and includes special sleeve notes by the writer Graham Duff.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. `We Churchills die at forty, said Winston in 1908, `and I want to put something more on the slate before then. By the time he died in 1965, the slate was full. From his earliest days Churchill was an ambitious character, eager for action. He achieved fame and popularity through his dispatches from the Boer War, and in 1900 was elected MP for Oldham. Until the outbreak of war in 1939 Churchill was loved and loathed in equal measure. Critics and supporters alike recognised his vision, but often questioned his judgement. In the thirties, his out-of-touch views on subjects such as Indian nationalism meant that his warnings on German militarism were not taken seriously. On the day Churchill took office as Prime Minister, Hitler invaded the Low Countries; by mid-June France had fallen. A lesser man would have been overwhelmed. Even his opponents do not doubt his greatness as a leader during the Second World War. But the 1945 election brought a shock defeat. Despite this setback, in 1951 at the age of 77 he returned to serve a second term as Prime Minister. 'Churchill Remembered' draws on a wealth of archive broadcasts by, among others, Robert Boothby, Violet Bonham Carter, Nancy Astor, Oswald Mosley and Churchill himself, and encompasses the whole of his extraordinary life. This is a fascinating and illuminating audio portrait of the life and career of one of Britains greatest leaders, recounted by those who knew him and in his own words.
