  Listen now to get the key ideas from Lyse Doucet's The Finest Hotel in Kabul. 
   
  The Inter-Continental Hotel in Kabul, initially a beacon of modernity and luxury, became a silent witness and a microcosm of Afghanistan's tumultuous history. In The Finest Hotel in Kabul (2025), the BBC’s Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet draws on decades of reporting and personal stays at the hotel to tell Afghanistan’s modern history through this single building. Inside its battered walls are the stories of staff who lived through glamour, violence, reform, and loss. The hotel still stands, having survived coups, foreign occupation, civil war, invasion, and the Taliban’s rule. The Finest Hotel in Kabul is a portrait of endurance—of a hotel, and of the people who kept going.

  In this candid and empowering A to Z of being an actor, Julie Hesmondhalgh draws on her decades of experience on stage and screen – including in massively popular television shows such as Broadchurch, Happy Valley and Coronation Street – to lift the lid on the realities of life in today's industry, and show you how to navigate it.
  She shares practical advice on preparing for roles (don't be afraid of looking like a dick), managing the ups and downs of your career (and how to be out of work without losing your mind), dealing with failure (and success), not constantly comparing yourself to others (bloody hard, but try), looking after your mental health, and the power of knowing when to say 'no'.
  Passionate about the arts, she makes a compelling case for their importance to society, but also calls out the industry on where it continues to fall short – including a clear-eyed assessment of what needs to change to make it safer and healthier, more accessible and inclusive.
  Written with refreshing honesty and self-deprecating humour, An Actor's Alphabet is a book for anyone who dreams of becoming an actor, wants to be a better one, or just wants to learn what being one is really like.
