Planet Earth: The Making of an Epic Series

Mint condition. BBC Books, 2006. First Paperback edition-first printing. Paperback(two small nicks & scratch on the cover) in mint condition. Illustrated with colour photos, maps. The book is new with a small crease. 128pp. Product Description: The best stories are the true ones, and there can be few BBC series that have generated as many gripping tales as Planet Earth. With producers and camera people travelling to every continent and almost every corner of the world, from the highest mountains to the lowest depths, their adventures have been many and unforgettable. Using every kind of craft and technological wizardry imaginable, from helicopters and submersibles, to satellites and remote cameras, they have also witnessed remarkable things. And what makes so much of the series special are the unique aerial perspectives from which they have filmed so many of the animals. This book tells the dramatic tales of their encounters, discoveries and many trials and tribulations. Also revealed are the ingenious means by which some of the unique sequences in the series have been made. Memorable sequences filmed in the wild include wild camels in the snow in the Gobi desert, a giant (truly giant) salamander hunting at night, desert lions capturing an oryx, golden snub-nosed monkeys playing high in the mountains of China, a giant panda in a cave tending her tiny newborn and a snow leopard chasing its prey down a sheer rock face. Used for the first time in any book are special photographs taken from high-definition film footage, which will bring the tales to life. As New. ISBN: 9780563493587

Little Britain: v.1: The Complete Scripts and All That - Series 1: Vol 1

Fine condition. HarperEntertainment, 2004. First edition-first printing(9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1). Large format pictorial hardback(small nicks on the front cover) in fine condition, with Dj(small tear on the edge of the back Dj cover, a couple of creases, nicks and scratches on the Dj cover) in near fine condition. Illustrated with many full colour photographs, drawings. The book is new with light shelf wear on the Dj cover, small ink mark and nick on the edges of the pages. 255pp. Price clipped. First edition-first printing. Heavy book(approx 1. 2 Kg). Product Description: These are the published scripts of the hugely successful series. 'Little Britain' is the TV comedy everyone is talking about, and has made instant stars of its creators, Matt Lucas and David Walliams. The show has a cult following, and the books will have material and photographs produced exclusively for the book. 'Little Britain' has become Britain's best-loved sketch comedy since 'The Fast Show' -- at this year's BAFTAs it won Best Comedy Programme or Series and both of its stars were nominated for Best Comedy Performance. In its first series it has gone from cult cool to the kind of quotable success that comedy classics are made of. The characters from 'Little Britain' are already household names: Daffyd, the only gay man in his village (and that's the way he wants to keep it); Jason, the teenage boy with an unhealthy attraction to his best friend's granny; Marjorie Dawes as the terrifying FatFighters group leader; Emily Howard, the rubbish transvestite; Bernard Chumley, the ageing theatre actor with a suspicious need to rid himself of his sister; and, of course, Vicky Pollard as the incomparably incoherent young offender. The show has made stars of Matt Lucas -- who appeared as overgrown baby George Dawes on BBC Two quiz 'Shooting Stars' -- and David Walliams, previously seen on the comedy-drama 'Attachments' and spoof show 'Rock Profiles', alongside Lucas. Both stars will help create the Little Britain script book, writing new exclusive material and plenty of unique additional features throughout. We will produce a lavish, colour book -- illustrated throughout -- that will make this book an instant classic. Fine/Near Fine. ISBN: 9780007193028

Moore, Michael

Dude, Where's My Country?

Fine condition. Allen Lane, 2003. First UK edition-2nd printing. Red hardback(silver lettering to the spine) with Dj(crease, a couple of small nicks and scratch on the Dj cover), both in fine condition. The book is new with light shelf wear, small nick on the edges of the pages. 257pp including Notes and sources, about the Author. Price un-clipped. From Publishers Weekly: Flush from the success of Stupid White Men and an Academy Award for best documentary, Moore continues his rhetorical assault on the Bush administration. The book shares much with Al Franken's Lies besides liberal sentiment and satirical tone; not only do both authors rely on the hoary device of having God tell them He doesn't support the president, but they each claim to pack their carry-on luggage with baseballs to bean would-be hijackers. But where Franken attacks individual conservatives, Moore focuses on issues. His first chapter is a series of unsettlingly specific questions (based on rigorously footnoted facts) about the political and financial ties among Bush, the Saudi Arabian government and Osama bin Laden's family, though he leaps from the facts to speculation when he wonders whether the September 11 attacks might have been hatched within the Saudi military. Other chapters attack the public's susceptibility to what he casts as the fear-mongering tactics the administration has used to justify foreign military interventions and, he says, the erosion of domestic civil liberties, and he lays plans for a Democratic victory in 2004: in addition to a half-serious nomination of Oprah, he offers a prescient, reasoned and highly favorable evaluation of Wesley Clark as a candidate. Moore's arguments work best when delivered mostly straight, since he isn't always as funny as he seems to think he is. Straightforward propositions leavened with humor, like a guide to talking to conservative relatives, work fine, while efforts at flat-out farce ring hollow. Fine/Fine. ISBN: 9780713997002
