    It’s the complete second season of The Ricky Gervais Show – six episodes in one tidy package. It’s packed full of all-new drivel, as Ricky and Steve Merchant forage through the long grass of Karl Pilkington’s brain. Plus, there’s lots more from Karl’s diary, as well as the unwelcome return of “Rockbusters”.

    Ricky Gervais, of course, is the award-winning co-creator and star of The Office and Extras. Steve Merchant, who also stars in Extras, is his long-time creative partner. Karl is a humanoid life form of undetermined origin.

    Brought to you by Penguin.

    Discover the work of the greatest writer in the English language as you’ve never encountered it before by pre-ordering internationally renowned actor Dame Judi Dench’s SHAKESPEARE: The Man Who Pays The Rent – a witty, insightful journey through the plays and tales of our beloved Shakespeare

    Read by Barbara Flynn (Open All Hours, The Durrels) and the book’s co-author Brendan O’Hea. Also featuring a warm and witty exclusive bonus conversation between Dame Judi Dench and Brendan O’Hea about the making of the book.

    Taking a curtain call with a live snake in her wig…

    Cavorting naked through the Warwickshire countryside painted green…

    Acting opposite a child with a pumpkin on his head…

    These are just a few of the things Dame Judi Dench has done in the name of Shakespeare.

    For the very first time, Judi opens up about every Shakespearean role she has played throughout her seven-decade career, from Lady Macbeth and Titania to Ophelia and Cleopatra. In a series of intimate conversations with actor & director Brendan O’Hea, she guides us through Shakespeare’s plays with incisive clarity, revealing the secrets of her rehearsal process and inviting us to share in her triumphs, disasters, and backstage shenanigans.

    Interspersed with vignettes on audiences, critics, company spirit and rehearsal room etiquette, she serves up priceless revelations on everything from the craft of speaking in verse to her personal interpretations of some of Shakespeare’s most famous scenes, all brightened by her mischievous sense of humour, striking level of honesty and a peppering of hilarious anecdotes, many of which have remained under lock and key until now.

    Instructive and witty, provocative and inspiring, this is ultimately Judi’s love letter to Shakespeare, or rather, The Man Who Pays The Rent.
