This is a very interesting adventure story set during the 2nd world war, acted by a disdinguished group of actors, & with beautiful music by Vaughan Williams.

This is often very amusing, but it also very beautifully traces the growth of a relationship between two lovely men, & I love happy endings!

Beautifully written & imagined story about Achilles & Patroclus (narrated by Patroclus) and the Trojan War, and the fraught relationship of Achilles with his Goddess mother, who does not approve of Patroclus.

These "Ripping yarns" are very amusing, & poke fun at traditional schoolboy "improving" stories. Michael Palin shows considerable versatility in his portrayals.

Two very different Ashton ballets, & a series of pas de deux & solos, all very well done. They show Ashton's musicality & versatility.

Very interesing historical performances, unfortunately in black & white, of "Giselle" & "Les Sylphides". The sound isn't marvellous, but just to see again Alicia Markova & other ballerinas of 50 or more years ago is lovely.

Four brothers,one of whom has AIDS: the family background is well portrayed, but the character of the AIDS brother is not sufficiently developed or explained, & his relationship with his youngest brother could be explored further.

A very interesting book written by a scientist, highlighting the unwarranted assumptions & lack of logical thought behind some of today's "scientific" orthodoxy.

A well written book about a number of people in a Devon town. There is a large cast of characters, & the author differentiates them well & makes them all individual & interesting. The author is not afraid to use strong language or to describe sexual activity, in particular a gay orgy.

Super singing of "Tatiana's letter song" from Tchaikovsky's "Eugene Onegin" & lovely singing in an interesting selection of Russian songs, some with a spoken introducion.
