"A wonderful combination of deadpan English comedy and surreal farce." -- A. S. Byatt "A tribute to the unsung and quintessentially English heroism of imperfect people." -- New Criterion

When British listeners tuned in to the BBC's Nine O'Clock News in the middle of 1940, they had no idea what human dramas--and follies--were unfolding behind the scenes. Targeted by enemy bombers, the BBC had turned its concert hall into a dormitory for both sexes, and personal chaos rivaled the political. Amidst the bombs and broadcasts two program directors fight for power while their younger female assistants fall prey to affairs, abandonment, and unrequited love. Reading this intimate glimpse behind the scenes of the BBC in its heyday, "one is left with the sensation," William Boyd wrote in London Magazine, "that this is what it was really like."

This new edition features an introduction by Mark Damazer, along with new cover art.

Completely Changed the Way I See Money!
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
This book is far more than just a read about finances; it’s a masterclass in financial education that can truly change your life. From the very first page, Robert Kiyosaki challenges you to think differently: stop working just for money and learn how to make money work for you. I loved how he contrasts the lessons from his “Rich Dad” and “Poor Dad,” and how each story leaves you with practical lessons you can apply immediately. The 25th Anniversary Edition includes updated examples that make complex concepts easy to understand and incredibly actionable. If you want to take control of your financial future, build income-generating assets, and break free from the “work for money” mindset, this book is an absolute must-read. It’s not just a book—it’s an investment in yourself! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended for anyone who wants to improve their relationship with money and build wealth smartly.
