You must see these! Such a simple idea with such an utterly hilarious result – take two saggy, baggy, dotty old grannies with zimmer frames, wind up their clockwork and race em! Unfortunately real old grannies don’t tend to like that (so they say – have you seen how fast they move on pension day?) so try these clockwork plastic grannies instead.

On CD for the first time this fantastic full-cast radio adventure comes from esteemed producer Dirk Maggs director of “Superman: Doomsday and Beyond” and the recent radio episodes of “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”. ; ; Batman has been crippled by his fiercest foe ever Bane: a villain of superhuman strength cunning and evil. With Bruce Wayne confined to a wheelchair who will protect the innocent from the dangerous inmates of Arkham Asylum whom Bane has released? ; ; This stunning audio production was first aired on BBC Radio 1. The cliffhanging all-action adventure can now be heard uninterrupted – with dazzling sound effects specially composed orchestral music and all. You’ve ‘never’ heard a comic sound like this! ; ; Comment by Dirk Maggs ; ; When it was first suggested we should make action dramas in daily three minute episodes I was pretty scared but willing to give it a try. There was a lot of gloomy predictions of failure but once we got into our stride it seemed to work pretty well and it was a format which could be slotted in between the chart records on BBC Radio 1. Also the first real effort to get to grips with Dolby Surround was `Batman Knightfall” which we made for BBC Radio 1 in 1994. ; ; The idea was to create an atmospheric mood which would be quite scary. Paul Deeley did some amazing sound mixing but some of the effects mixing and panning aren’t as focussed as we would do it now on Dolby 5.1. ; ; To be honest everything I have done I would improve if I could go back and do it again … we are all the same perfectionists who – but for deadlines – might never finish a job! ; ; A quick word for Bob Sessions who played our Batman. What a great presence he has what a wonderful voice. And he Was Batman in a uniquely urbane way. My ambition was to do Frank Miller’s `The Dark Knight Returns with him … sadly it was not to be – dear Bob died before it could happen. Thank you Bob.

Just make sure you don’t post it. Without sounding too paranoid thieves are everywhere. On the streets on the bus and sometimes hiding in the rubbish like Oscar The Grouch. We think. Anyway it’s never a bad idea to be security-conscious most of all when it comes to something precious like your laptop. The Undercover Laptop Sleeve is a neat light-hearted solution that makes your laptop look no more conspicuous than a big battered letter – and nobody wants to steal one of those unless they’re a couple of stamps short of the full postage if you see what we mean. Speaking of which you’d be advised not to leave it hanging around any courier pick-up points or outboxes or else you might find yourself running after a delivery van like a mad person. The attention to detail in this defensive device is great – the phoney address the battered appearance the crafty LOL Post emblem it borders on being cheeky. The size is adjustable so even if you’ve got a lumbering great colossus of a laptop (what do you mean 17 minutes is too long a start-up time?!) then you’ll be able to squeeze it in. Similarly your tiny little netbook will sit snugly inside thanks to the Velcro adjusters making sure that your ‘package’ stays super-safe. The padded interior will protect your precious cargo from bumps and knocks (though you might want to think twice before using it as a sled and rocketing down the staircase) not that people tend to pay much attention to folk with battered-looking parcels. So no matter the size and heftiness of your laptop you can blend into the crowd and rest safe in the knowledge that no-one knows what you’re carrying. Unless like us you’re sort-of tempted to carry the parcel while wearing a black trench coat and sunglasses and ask random people for passwords in a Russian accent.

The Communist Manifesto (1848) Marx and Engels’s revolutionary summons to the working classes is one of the most important and influential political theories ever formulated. After four years of collaboration the authors produced this incisive account of their idea of Communism in which they envisage a society without classes private property or a state. They argue that increasing exploitation of industrial workers will eventually lead to a revolution in which Capitalism is overthrown. This vision provided the theoretical basis of political systems in Russia China Cuba and Eastern Europe affecting the lives of millions. The Communist Manifesto still remains a landmark text: a work that continues to influence and provoke debate on capitalism and class.
