  Originally published in the Strand Magazine between December 1894 and September 1903. The Exploits of Brigadier Gerard by Arthur Conan Doyle, the celebrated author of Sherlock Holmes and the Lost, follows the adventures of Brigadier Etienne Gerard, a courageous soldier in the service of Napoleon.From a sleepy cafe in Paris, he whiles away the hours recounting his glories in the service of France. From his victory over the Count of the Castle of Gloom, the mysterious affair of the Ajaccio Brothers and his daring escape from Dartmoor Prison to his brush with the dastardly Marshal Millefleurs and his successful conveying of the Emperors own despatches through the enemy held towns of Soison and Senlis. Gerard never wavers in his dedication to the Emperor, or his convictions that he is the finest soldier in all of france, and therefore, the world.Adapted into several films and radio dramas across the years, George McDonald Fraser once cited Brigadier Gerard as a major inspiration for his own fictional comedic adventurer Harry Flashman.Narrated by Michael Ward.

  If you're a fan of Alan Doyle, you'll love and appreciate most of the stories in this book as it serves as the backdrop for a tv series that was never meant to be. Vickie Morgan had been making films and public access tv shows for years when a broadcaster trying to spend their sports budget waltzes into St. John's, Newfoundland during the pandemic (properly masked over Zoom calls of course) and offers Vickie the gig of a lifetime. 
  How to Fail at Documentary Filmmaking is a hilarious and poignant story that will give you the courage and compassion necessary to understand the problem probably isn't you.  
  "Wow, Vickie’s determination has to be admired. She'll mow her own path, she's a trooper." 
  ~ Tina Maddigan, author of Written in Stone 
  "How To Fail At Documentary Filmmaking: a novelization of the unfinished docu-series adapted from an idea for a book based on true events." ~ Josh Morgan, lives with Vickie, read the book four times

  This is the brand new first series of the audio revival of classic comedy Chelmsford 123, Hat Trick’s first official production for Channel 4.Chelmsford 123 was originally a two-series sitcom set in Roman Britain that brought memorable characters, strong gags and hilarious storylines to the small screen. Using the original scripts as foundation, these four episodes contain all-new material written by Rory McGrath and Jimmy Mulville and are perfect for both fans of the series as well as anyone looking for a bit of comic relief… so come back with us to 123 AD for a generous dose of historical humour.Episode 1 - Arrivederci Roma: It’s 123 AD and the people of Britain are about to receive a new governor from Rome - Aulus Paulinus. This is not the greatest news for the local Trinovantes tribe, so their leader - Badvoc - plots a ‘welcome’ party.Episode 2 - What’s Your Poison?: Whilst Aulus plans a great banquet to improve relations with the local leaders, Grasientus plots to poison Badvoc. Each side hears word of the treachery and believes it aimed at them.Episode 3 - One For The Road: Aulus Paulinus intends to put his mark on Britain by constructing a grand Roman road direct between Londinium and Chelmsford - but there’s a seemingly insignificant settlement in the way.Episode 4 - Heads You Lose: After a trip to inspect the fortifications against the border of Caledonia, Aulus has had enough of Badvoc’s liberty-taking and has him imprisoned under sentence of death. Is this the end of the (Roman) road for Badvoc?Chelmsford 123: The Audio Revival is produced by Hat Trick Productions and Spiteful Puppet Entertainment. This series is narrated by Rory McGrath, Philip Pope, Neil Pearson, Paterson Joseph, Phil Nice, Barnaby Eaton-Jones, Kim Jones, Ben Perkins, Darrell Maclaine, Hannah Boydell and Wink Taylor.

  The unbelievable true story of the greatest Ping-Pong rivalry in Bayonne High School history. 
  Entering his senior year at BHS, Brian Canever had only two items left on his teenage bucket list. First, to kiss a girl. And then, to make history. 
  Standing in his way was Eddy Fink, the undefeated champion who, among the members of the school’s Ping-Pong club, was known simply as “Paddlehands.” After Fink ruthlessly demolished the author's best friends in the lead-up to the final tournament of their high school lives, Canever stepped to the championship table knowing full well what was on the line. 
  When his promising plan backfired, he languished for nearly two decades before making a harrowing decision: to call his rival back from the dead and meet one last time inside the musty BHS gymnasium. 
  Recounted with sincerity and wit, Paddlehands is a coming-of-age epic that will have readers scouring Facebook to resurrect their own childhood adversaries in the hope of settling old scores and, once and for all, being crowned king.
