Summary:

A unique collection of authentic eyewitness accounts chronicling the events of the First World War from Sarajevo to the Armistice

In this selection of historic recordings from the BBC Archives, British, French and American servicemen recall their harrowing experiences of the conflict. German officers also tell their stories, their misery palpable in defeat. Inevitably the horrors of the Western Front dominate and the battles of the Somme and Passchendaele evoke bitter memories. But the war was fought on many fronts - on land, at sea and in the air - its scope illustrated with reminiscences of Russia, Gallipoli, Mesopotamia, Palestine, the Austro/Italian line, the Battle of Jutland and the Royal Flying Corps bloody April of 1917.

Also included among the many memorable voices are participants from both sides of the Easter Rising, conscientious objectors defending their beliefs and women contemplating their lasting grief. With diplomats, politicians and poets offering a range of differing opinions, the honesty and intimacy of these recollections brings the period vividly to life.

This exclusive compilation concludes with a post-script on 1919 and the Treaty of Versailles, followed by a sequence of First World War poems read by Stephen Moore, Tim Pigott-Smith, Juliet Stevenson and Samuel West..

Title: How to Disagree: A beginner's guide to having better arguments

Author: Timandra Harkness

Narrator: Timandra Harkness

Format: Unabridged

Length: 01:10:00

Language: English

Release date: 10-04-18

Publisher: Penguin Books LTD

Genres: Non-Fiction, Psychology, General Comedy

Summary:

We seem to have forgotten how to argue about important things without descending into tribalism, insults, and generally thinking the worst of our opponents. This is no good. We'll never get out of the bitter divisions cleaving society if we don't learn to disagree fruitfully.

In this series, Timandra Harkness explores the best ways to disagree with other people - constructively.

She examines how clashes of interests, competing moral visions, factual disputes, arguments about strategies and even different personal preferences over which film to watch at the cinema can all be managed better.

With the help of a trade union negotiator, an expert on neighbour disputes, and scientists, Timandra examines how best to deal with competing points of view, and when it comes to personal preferences asks why we try so hard to find reasons for what we want to do or believe.

And she has a disagreement over the merits of disagreement.

Produced by Martin Rosenbaum.

Title: Gudrun: Series 1-4: A Viking epic inspired by the Icelandic sagas

Author: Lucy Catherine

Narrator: Full Cast , Kate Phillips

Format: Unabridged

Length: 05:42:20

Language: English

Release date: 10-04-18

Publisher: Penguin Books LTD

Genres: Fiction & Literature, Historical Fiction, Action & Adventure

Summary:

An 11th century Viking epic of love, revenge and faith, set in Iceland and starring the original Nordic Noir heroine, Gudrun.

As a young woman growing up in 11th century Iceland, Gudrun must forge her path through a world of unearthly beauty yet uncompromising harshness. The tale begins in her youth, with her childhood friends Kjartan and Bolli but the love the two boys have for Gudrun causes a deathly enmity between them that leaves her reeling.

Suspicious of how power and ambition are wielded by men, Gudrun is left feeling increasingly isolated. She longs for the freedom to live her life according to her own rules, beholden to no-one. This epic saga takes her on a journey away from her beloved homeland, risking everything to save her daughter.

An avenging angel forged from violence, Gudrun has all the complexity, vulnerability and single-mindedness of her successors, Lisbeth Salander and Saga Noren. In the ruthless world she inhabits, her steely determination and willingness to manipulate others in the manner of Borgen's Birgitte Nyborg is what keeps her alive.

Gudrun is based on the famous Icelanders' saga known as The Laxdoela Saga. Written in the 13th century, it tells of people in the Breiafjörur area of Iceland from the late 9th century to the early 11th century.

Starring Kate Phillips (Peaky Blinders, War and Peace) as Gudrun.

Directed by Sasha Yevtushenko (Series 1) and Gemma Jenkins (Series 2-4).
