Hilarious!!!, 1 Jun 2009

For me, the Benidorm special was well worth the wait. The story carries on from where series 2 left off with Mel in hospital, Madge devasted in her wedding dress and Mick taken in by the police. This one-off summer special is hilarious, there are so many great lines especially from Madge who is on top form here. A great story, good ending, a good laugh and I'm so glad that it's out on DVD.
Highly recommended!

Memories Of Maggie, 31 May 2009

A good read with lots of varied and interesting memories of Mrs. T. People who have shared their observations of this formidable woman in the book include Henry Kissinger, David Davis, Michael Howard and many more. Illustrated with many stunning photographs, this book is a superb insight to the Iron Lady.

An Excellent Biography!!, 31 May 2009

This book is the best biography of Mrs. Thatcher I've ever read, it's brilliantly written, well researched and very informative. It covers, in detail Maggie's childhood, early education, first years in politics, and the events leading up to 1979 when she became Britain's first (and to date only) female prime minister.
Persinally, I found this book more interesting and easier to read that Maggie's own memoirs even though they are still very good reads.
If you are unfamilar with the Iron Lady and her politics, this is a good place to start reading about them.
I am now going to buy John Campbell's part 2 of this impressive work.
