Most particularly, it utilises correspondence from and to Spike, taken from the BBC Written Archives, much of it never before seen or heard by a wide audience. Spike's correspondence with the BBC covered many topics and was never less than hugely entertaining; this tribute contains the best of it.

Instructional yet erotic, Hot Sex: How to Do It provides listeners with a vast panorama of sexual possibilities and knowledge that can help anyone achieve a healthy and sensational sex life.

The acts are balanced out with a significant dosage of education and explanation on topics such as sexually transmitted infections (STIs), contraceptives, sexual complications, and body image.

Sir Peter Ustinov's beautifully crafted autobiography is told with exquisite wit and insight. From his birth in April 1921, it spans his extraordinary career as actor, playwright, film star and director, confirming his early belief that he is 'irrevocably betrothed to laughter'.

Joyce Grenfell's irresistible collection of poetry and writings gathered together by her friend and biographer Janie Hampton. "My Kind of Magic" is a charming collection of articles and poems from the celebrated English writer and entertainer, Joyce Grenfell. This is a sparkling compilation of writings of every kind, from treasured recipes to tales of the places Joyce herself was happiest in. The best things in Joyce Grenfell's view were often unexpected - blackbirds in January, the musty smell of old books or dusk in an East Anglian cornfield. For her, these small flashes of joy and inspiration were scattered amongst the everyday.

David Attenborough's books and broadcasts have opened the incredible world of natural history to millions of viewers and listeners. "Zoo Quest for a Dragon" takes us back to one of his earliest projects, when the BBC and London Zoo joined forces on several animal-collecting expeditions. This behind-the-scenes look at how the first programmes were made reveals moments of hardship on horseback, canoe and in a wreck of a jeep through swamp, desert and rainforest. Attenborough tells of danger on the crew's hazardous boat trip with a gun-smuggling captain and the terror of erupting volcanoes.
