The British Museum's acquisition of the Warren Silver Cup in 1999 caused something of a stir when it was announced to the press as a result of its price and its challengingly explicit homoerotic scenes. It was prominently illustrated in all the major daily newspapers and the reporting varied between the crudely predictable and the much more thoughtful. It featured in quiz programmes like 'Have I got News for You' and was even the subject of cartoons. The Warren Cup is, in fact, a remarkably important masterpiece of Roman art, created in the first century AD, which has been condemned to an undeserved obscurity for too long. It's scenes reflect the mores of the time and region in which it was created and used. As such, it is a precious means for us to reach back and understand that society, but it also challenges us to look through and beyond our own contemporary social and religious environment. This book will examine the extraordinary history, both ancient and modern, that the Warren Cup has to tell. It will also attempt to set the cup in its ancient contexts - where and when it was made; where and when it was found; and by whom it was used.

Linda Smith was the brilliant mainstay of Radio 4's The News Quiz'', Just a Minute'', and I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue'' for many years. She was just establishing her career on TV through blistering performances on Have I Got News for You'', QI ''and Room 101'', when she died of ovarian cancer in 2006. Linda was one of the few women to conquer the male dominated world of comedy and she had the wit and the charm to win over millions of male and female fans in equal measure. She had an eye for the absurdities of modern life and loved to prick the egos of the pompous and the vain. When she called David Blunkett 'Satan's bearded folk singer', it was a simple statement of fact. No wonder then Linda was voted the 'wittiest person alive' by Radio 4 listeners in 2002. This collection of her material, from her early stand-up to her radio days, is a must-have for any comedy fan.

In words and pictures, Chris describes in fascinating detail the history, the personalities, the stories and legends and the present condition of this very British institution, the seaside pleasure pier. Read about how they were built and who built them, the storms, shipwrecks and fires that hit our piers and sometimes destroyed them, and the stars who performed or still perform on them. From the longest pier to the shortest, the oldest to the youngest, the finest to the most mundane, they are listed. ''Each pier is different, with its own individual personality,'' Chris enthuses, ''some piers are still much as they were when they were built in the Victorian and Edwardian eras, while others are wholly given over to entertainment and modern amusements. Most are a mixture of the two''.''Seaside piers appeal to all ages, all generations and most nationalities. Piers offer a complete range of enjoyment and satisfaction - there's something about a pier, stretching out over the water, that has universal appeal. Enthusiasts appreciate a pier's form and structure, while most holidaymakers are more concerned about the facilities on offer.Some are content to stroll along the pier deck, enjoying the benefits of fresh air, exercise and views over the sea while others immerse themselves in the amusement arcades and funfairs that are a major feature of most of our remaining seaside piers. Food, drink and entertainment are all the more enjoyable when taken 'over the waves'.'' As well as the piers themselves, Chris describes the pier railways - a welcome facility on some of the longer piers - and their associated cliff lifts. As a bonus, the multitude of facts and information make and ideal quiz - questions and answers are provided!Writer and broadcaster Chris Foote Wood, brother of Victoria Wood, the famous comedienne, is the author of several books including Nellie's Book - ''The Early Life of Victoria Wood's Mother''; ''When I'm Sixty-Four - 1001 things to do at 60+'' and ''Pround to be a Geordie - the life and legacy of Jack Fawcett''. As a news and sports reporter he has made hundreds of broadcasts on local and national radio and is also an accomplished television performer. This is a fascinating book which reveals everything one might want to know about the piers still around the coasts of England and Wales.It will be of immense appeal not only to anyone living at the seaside, but also to those with an interest in our maritime history and would be an ideal companion when visiting the seaside or reading at home.

Love, laughs and outstanding stars add a warm glow to this heartfelt hit comedy. For a sensitive young boy, some distressing news about his mother (gorgeous Andie Mac Dowell - Four Weddings And A Funeral) and neglect from his crackpot inventor father (John Turturro - Quiz Show) force him into the refuge of his wildly eccentric uncles. Their wacky lifestyle and his impressionable mind lead to one zany situation after another. It's an unlikely trio for sure, but together they'll learn some valuable lessons about love, life and family pride. A directorial triumph from acclaimed actress Diane Keaton, UNSTRUNG HEROES is the delightfully fresh and funny comedy that's earned raves from critics and audiences everywhere.
