BBC Radio 4 has a new star on his hands. No-one knows where he's from - "As a child, I always remember my father saying to me 'Son, to pay for your education your mother and I had to make a lot of sacrifices.' Because they were both druids." No-one can predict what he gets up to -"I'm not getting on with my yoga teacher at the moment ... which freq...

These are masterly readings, by renowned thespian Paul Schofield, of two substantial works of poetry by T.S. Eliot.

The Four Quartets consists of four long poems, first published between 1935 and 1942....

Richard Curtis' and Ben Elton's award-winning comedy in which Rowan Atkinson as the ubiquitous Blackadder, ably hampered by Tony Robinson as the loyal Baldrick, wreaks havoc throughout the centuries. Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, Robbie Coltrane, Rik Mayall and Miranda Richardson are some of the guest stars joining in the fun.

In Blackadder II, England's Golden Age is treated to the schemes and strategems of Edmund, Lord Blackadder as he curries grace and favour from the stark raving mad Queen Bess.

In Blackadder the Third, the fortunes of the family have plummeted rather with Blackadder employed as butler to the Prince Regent. With such an imbecilic Lord and master, however, there's plenty of scope for deviousness and manipulation.

Dickens' classic tale of kindness, truth and virtue completely ruined by having a member of the Blackadder family involved. Stuffed with deeply horrible people and groaning with cartloads of seasonal bottom jokes, it manages to squeeze a Victorian Blackadder and his Elizabethan, Regency and Space Age relatives into a huge pie of entertainment which...
