    I, Partridge: We Need to Talk About Alan , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 416min
    Journalist, presenter, broadcaster, husband, father, vigorous all-rounder – Alan Partridge – a man with a fascinating past and an amazing future. Gregarious and popular, yet Alan’s never happier than when relaxing in his own five-bedroom, south-built house with three acres of land and access to a private stream. But who is this mysterious enigma? Alan Gordon Partridge is the best – and best-loved – radio presenter in the region. Born into a changing world of rationing, Teddy Boys, apes in space and the launch of ITV, Alan’s broadcasting career began as chief DJ of Radio Smile at St. Luke’s Hospital in Norwich. After replacing Peter Flint as the presenter of Scout About, he entered the top 8 of BBC sports presenters.But Alan’s big break came with his primetime BBC chat show Knowing Me, Knowing You. Sadly, the show battled against poor scheduling, having been put up against News at Ten, then in its heyday. Due to declining ratings, a single catastrophic hitch (the killing of a guest on air) and the dumbing down of network TV, Alan’s show was cancelled. Not to be dissuaded, he embraced this opportunity to wind up his production company, leave London and fulfil a lifelong ambition to return to his roots in local radio. Now single, Alan is an intensely private man but he opens up, for the second time, in this candid, entertaining, often deeply emotional – and of course compelling – memoir, written entirely in his own words. (Alan quickly dispelled the idea of using a ghost writer. With a grade B English Language O-Level, he knew he was up to the task.) He speaks touchingly about his tragic Toblerone addiction, and the painful moment when unsold copies of his first autobiography, Bouncing Back, were pulped like ‘word porridge’. He reveals all about his relationship with his ex-Ukrainian girlfriend, Sonja, with whom he had sex at least twice a day, and the truth about the thick people who make key decisions at the BBC.

    Oh, Nothing…: An Audio Collection of Stories and Memories from Alan Sues, Hörbuch, Digital, 127min
    Best known for his work on Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In, comic actor and performer Alan Sues made his debut on Broadway in 1953’s Tea and Sympathy with Deborah Kerr. He had a supporting role in The Americanization of Emily with James Garner and Julie Andrews, portrayed Wilfred Jr. in the famous Twilight Zone episode “The Masks”, and successfully continued to work in film, theater, and television for over 50 years! This audio collection is not an autobiography, stand-up comedy, or a tell-all exposé about Hollywood and show business. It’s akin to to an evening at a friend’s house, where you start talking over dinner, and finish by telling funny stories over cocktails or dessert. From his hilarious first professional upstaging experience with Miriam Hopkins in Happy Birthday, to his early days in New York City trying to hold several part time-jobs in order to allow time to audition, to the unbelievably side-splitting technical meltdown happening around him during hosting the Macy’s Day Parade on live television, Alan’s stories don’t disappoint. This audio set is the perfect purchase if you are a long-time fan of Alan’s or a new fan who recently discovered him. In fact, anyone who loves backstage stories and showbiz scenarios will enjoy Oh Nothing... on more than one listening and for years to come. Language: English. Narrator: Alan Sues.

    “It began with a Carter, and it must end with a Carter”. Six months have passed since Alan Carter woke up from the coma Copper Tibet had put him in, and much has changed in Melington: a new Chairman, a power hungry Sheriff, a spineless son who struggles with the absence of his father. And children are still going missing while the monster taking them roams free and unrestrained. In the small town of secrets, what had once been hidden is now slowly coming to light, and few rest easy, including Alan Carter. He is plagued by nightmares. The visions haunt him the minute he closes his eyes, and his dreams are clad with images of darkness, corridors lined with doors, and a woman in red who tells him he can never leave. And somewhere in the distance, Alan’s sister calls for him, begging him to save her, and to take her home. ungekürzt.

    Prof: Alan Turing Decoded , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 623min
    Alan Turing was an extraordinary man who crammed into a life of only 42 years the careers of mathematician, codebreaker, computer scientist and biologist. He is widely regarded as a war hero grossly mistreated by his unappreciative country, and it has become hard to disentangle the real man from the story. It is easy to cast him as a misfit, the stereotypical professor. But actually Alan Turing was never a professor, and his nickname, 'Prof', was given by his codebreaking friends at Bletchley Park. Now Alan Turing's nephew, Dermot Turing, has taken a fresh look at the influences on Alan Turing's life and creativity and the later creation of a legend. For the first time it is possible to disclose the real character behind the cipher-text: how did Alan’s childhood experiences influence the man? Who were the influential figures in Alan's formative years? How did his creative ideas evolve? Was he really a solitary, asocial genius? What was his wartime work after 1942, and why was it kept even more secret than the Enigma story? What is the truth about Alan Turing's conviction for gross indecency, and did he commit suicide? What is the significance of the Royal Pardon granted in 2013? In Dermot's own style he takes a vibrant and entertaining approach to the life and work of a true genius. ungekürzt. Language: English.
