For 5000 years and more, elephants have served humanity, as a living tractor, pile driver, fork lift truck, tank and 4WD.

But the working elephant is now at the end of its economic usefulness.

Adam Fowler explores the plight of thousands of captive elephants in Asia and their historic and changing relationship with man.

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.
