Erin's Diary: An Official Derry Girls Book
by Lisa McGeeSet in Derry, Northern Ireland in the 1990s, Derry Girls is a candid, one-of-a-kind comedy about what it's like to be a teenage girl living amongst conflict.It's a time of armed police in armoured Land Rovers and British Army check points. But it's also the time of Murder She Wrote, The Cranberries, Salt-N-Pepa, Doc Martens and The X Files. And while The Troubles may hang over her hometown, Erin has troubles of her own, like the fact that the boy she's in love with (actually in LOVE with) doesn't know she exists. Or that her Ma and Aunt Sarah make her include her weirdo cousin Orla in everything she does. Or that head teacher Sister Michael refuses to acknowledge Erin as a literary genius. Not to mention the fact that her second best friend has ALMOST had sex, whereas Erin's never even kissed anyone yet. These are Erin's Troubles.Described by the Guardian as 'daft, profane and absolutely brilliant', by the New Statesman as 'pitch-perfect' and by i-D as 'the greatest show on British (and Irish) TV', Derry Girls has dazzled audiences for two series, with Channel 4's biggest UK comedy launch since 2004 and the biggest television series in Northern Ireland since modern records began.Now, this autumn, comes the first official tie-in. In the manner of the very best TV comedy books, Erin's Diary is a hilarious 'in world' publication that extends the laugh-out-loud humour of Derry Girls onto the page. With Erin's inner take on everything that has happened so far, this book will both dive deeper into the events we have seen unfold on the screen and unveil brand new stories and never-before-revealed details about characters. Complete with newspaper clippings, doodles, poetry, school reports, handwritten notes from her friends, and much much more, Erin's Diary is as warm, funny and brilliantly observed as the TV; a must-have for fans this Christmas.'Erin is sixteen and wishes she had a boyfriend and a life. Nothing else really happens... It's boring.' Orla McCool

Ernie Kovacs & Early TV Comedy: Nothing in Moderation
by Andrew HortonAmong the pioneers of television, Ernie Kovacs was one of the most original and imaginative comedians. His zany, irreverent, and surprising humor not only entertained audiences throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, but also inspired a host of later comedies and comedians, including Monty Python, David Letterman, much of Saturday Night Live, Rowan and Martin’s Laugh-In, Captain Kangaroo, and even Sesame Street. Kovacs created laughter through wildly creative comic jokes, playful characterizations, hilarious insights, and wacky experiments. “Nothing in moderation,” his motto and epitaph, sums up well Kovacs’s wholehearted approach to comedy and life. In this book, Andrew Horton offers the first sustained look at Ernie Kovacs’s wide-ranging and lasting contributions to the development of TV comedy. He discusses in detail Kovacs’s work in New York, which included The Ernie Kovacs Show (CBS prime time 1952–1953), The Ernie Kovacs Show (NBC daytime variety 1956–1957), Tonight (NBC late-night comedy/variety 1956-1957), and a number of quiz shows. Horton also looks at Kovacs’s work in Los Angeles and in feature film comedy. He vividly describes how Kovacs and his comic co-conspirators created offbeat characters and zany situations that subverted expectations and upended the status quo. Most of all, Horton demonstrates that Kovacs grasped the possibility for creating a fresh genre of comedy through the new medium of television and exploited it to the fullest.

by Sam TschidaIn this fast-paced and deliciously witty spy romcom, a single mom finds herself wrapped up in unexpected adventure when she is recruited to pose as a secret agent, perfect for fans of Finlay Donovan Is Killing It. Recently divorced Gabby Greene spends most of her days listening to self-help books while wrangling her loving yet erratic kids. During a decade of marriage, Gabby shoved aside her own career and ambitions to make room for mountains of laundry, running errands, and investigating the case of the missing socks.

At first, she thinks some reality show is pranking her, but apparently, she bears a striking resemblance to an agent recently murdered, and… well, desperate missions call for desperate measures. Soon Gabby is juggling motherhood and a crash course in Spying 101, led by a handsome James Bond-type who has secrets of his own.

Error Australis: The Reality Recap of Australian History
by Ben PobjieWe're engrossed with reality TV these days, yet we so often neglect the greatest reality of all: the reality of our nation and how it came to be. In Error Australis, TV columnist, comedian and history buff Ben Pobjie recaps the history of Australia from its humble beginnings as a small patch of rapidly cooling rock to its modern-day status as one of the major powers of the sub-Asian super-Antarctic next-to-Africa region. As thrilling as it is to see Delta Goodrem's chair turn around, there's an argument that World War Two was even more exciting and, like any good recapper, Pobjie provides an immediate, visceral sense of what it was like to be there in the moment at our nation's defining events.It is only by looking at where we have been that we can understand who we are, what we stand for and why nothing seems to work. Error Australis is a scholarly and hilarious account of a young nation that has spent many years seeking its place in the world, and almost as many years not liking what it has found.

Es Un Lugar Extraño, Inglaterra
by Jack StrangeEste pequeño libro describe algunas de las extrañezas que hacen única a Inglaterra. Comienza por el mismo idioma inglés y detalla hechos y anécdotas extraños relacionados a los deportes, los fantasmas y el amor inglés por la excentricidad -como el deportista que cabalgó desnudo. Además de presentarnos a personas extrañas, nos lleva de paseo por lugares no menos extraños. Por ejemplo, hay un canal que atraviesa el sur de Inglaterra, que fue excavado para detener a las tropas de Bonaparte en una invasión que jamás tuvo lugar. Está también el Gigante de Cerne Abbas, dotado de una impresionante masculinidad, al cual muchas mujeres acudían cuando deseaban convertirse en madres. El misterioso Stonehenge también tiene su parte reservada en este libro. Dada su extrañeza, algunas tradiciones antiguas no han sobrevivido a los tiempos modernos, como la venta de esposas, que alguna vez fue bastante común y que tenía lugar muchas veces con el consentimiento de la misma mujer. El libro se vuelve más serio cuando examina la epidemia de la cacería de brujas del siglo XVII. Para suavizar el tono, hay capítulos dedicados al llamado Club del Fuego Infernal y a los dragones ingleses. ¿Existieron en realidad? De Robin Hood a los asaltantes de caminos y contrabandistas, los relatos del folklore inglés se encargaron de transformar unos cuantos forajidos en héroes gallardos que nunca existieron. También le echa un vistazo a los bailarines de la Danza Morris y al famoso relato de Jack el Saltarín, quien quiera que haya sido. Finalmente, hay un alegre capítulo dedicado a los pubs, tan predominantes en muchos relatos ingleses y que hoy forman parte de la cultura moderna en todo el mundo.
