Terry Wogan tells the story of his journey from Irish childhood to chat show host in his own delightfully Iaconic fashion.

 

Sir Terry Wogan has been clinging to the wreckage for so long, you'd think he'd do the decent thing and silently steal away. Not likely...

Unaided and, indeed, unbidden, comes this forbidding tome — a characteristic cry for attention.

From an unremarkable childhood to a chequered career as a bank clerk, from the Cattle Market Report on Irish Radio to the appalling excesses of the Eurovision Song Contest, no stone is left unturned, no unsavoury details spared.

Has the man no shame?

In 1976, Vince Papale was a down-on-his-luck substitute teacher, part-time bartender, and season ticket holder for the Philadelphia Eagles, the team he’d grown up rooting for. He had always loved football, but the closest he’d ever come to playing on Sundays was in local rough touch leagues. Until fate stepped in...

 

Vince was thirty years old and wondering what he would do with his life, when he heard that Coach Dick Vermeil was holding open tryouts for the Eagles. He had nothing to lose, and with the coaches eyeing him, he ran an explosive 40-yard dash in just 4.5 seconds - a world-class time - and was offered a contract on the spot. But, as much as his speed, it was Vince’s heart that impressed Vermeil. But there was more to the story – Vince’s success was tempered by a complicated family life, a past that continued to haunt him, even as a hometown football hero.

At its core, Invincible is an underdog story that will inspire others to pursue their dreams, too.

'Richard Briers and Michael Hordern... sensational in the main roles.' -- Time Out

Typical. Just when Bertie thinks that God's in his heaven and all's right with the world, things start to go wrong again...

There's young Bingo Little, who's in love for the umpteenth time and needs Bertie to put in a good word for him with his uncle; Aunt Agatha, who forces Bertie to get engaged to the formidable Honoria Glossop; and the troublesome twins, Claude and Eustace, whose antics when let loose in London know no bounds.

Add to that some friction in the Wooster home over a red cummerbund, purple socks and some snazzy old Etonian spats, and poor Bertie's really in the soup...

Only one man can save the day - the inimitable Jeeves.

The perfect pairing of Michael Hordern as Jeeves and Richard Briers as Bertie ensures constant hilarity in this full-cast radio dramatisation that also includes David Jason, Pat Coombs and Miriam Margolyes.

In Chancery, the second novel in John Galsworthy's epic social satire The
Forsyte Saga, follows the events of A Man of Property. After suffering the death of her
lover and abuse from her husband Soames, Irene Forsyte finally leaves her marriage for good.
Though socially disgraced by her affair, she forms a bond with the late Old Jolyon, a father of the
Forsyte clan who had grown distant from the family after reconciling with one of his outcast sons.
The young Jolyon had been disinherited after divorcing his wife to marry a penniless foreign governess.

Now, with both his father and his beloved wife dead, the younger Jolyon finds himself drawn in sympathy
to Irene, who was so dear to Old Jolyon in his final days. Their shared troubles blossom into a romance,
to the horror of Soames Forsyte.
