The bestselling audiobook of the acclaimed BBC1 series, described as 'Brilliant' by the Daily Mail.

Taking its listeners on a breath-taking journey from open lifeboats in Atlantic gales to the cockpits of burning fighter-planes, and through cities devastated by the Blitz, FINEST HOUR recreates the terror, the tragedy and the triumph of the Battle of Britain.

Sir Derek Jacobi narrates this powerful account of the events of 1940, told through the diaries, letters and memories of the men and women who lived, loved, fought and died during this terrible yet inspiring year.

FINEST HOUR blends original historical research with the experiences of desperate people in extraordinary times. Cutting through the nostalgic haze, this audiobook enables listeners to experience something of a time - still within common living memory - when a nation's darkest hour became its finest.

The audio of the million-selling book - Pete McCarthy's hilarious journey in search of his Irish roots.

McCarthy's tale of his hilarious trip around Ireland has gained thousands of fans all over the world.

Pete was born in Warrington to an Irish mother and an English father and spent happy summer holidays in Cork. Years later, reflecting on the many places he has visited as a travel broadcaster, Pete admits that he feels more at home in Ireland than anywhere. To find out whether this is due to rose-coloured spectacles or to a deeper tie with the country of his ancestors, Pete sets off on a trip around Ireland and discovers that it has changed in surprising ways.
