Written in 1948 and made into a popular film the same year, Just William's Luck is the only novel Richmal Crompton wrote featuring her famous hero. The action takes place throughout one extraordinary day in William's life. It begins harmlessly enough in the old barn and soon develops into a riotous comedy-thriller as the invincible schoolboy hatches a plot to marry off the elder brothers of The Outlaws. All Crompton's celebrated characters are here: Ginger, Couglas, and Henry, the long-suffering Brown family, oily Hubert Lane, and 6-year-old control-freak Violet Elizabeth Bott. And leading the way, that timeless righter of wrongs, the incomparable William Brown himself.

A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation of Jacqueline Wilson's favourite character, Tracy Beaker, who lives in a children's home. Ten-year-old Tracy is smart and full of energy, but more than anything she wants love. In The Story of Tracy Beaker, Tracy doesn't know where her mum lives, but that doesn't stop her having long imaginary conversations with her. She's had two foster families before, which haven't worked out, but she hopes a woman named Cam will be her next foster mum. In The Dare Game Tracy is now living with Cam and starting a new school. Things seem to be looking up for Tracy - but then the trouble begins. She has a horrible teacher, the other kids laugh at her, and things between her and Cam aren't going as well as expected. Tracy's friends Alexander and Football are having their own problems, too. Then one day, out of the blue, who should appear but Tracy's long-lost mum.

Alexander Armstrong and Ben Miller co-write and star in all four episodes of the complete BBC Radio 4 comedy spoof series. 'The show that treats you - the kids - just like adults. Remember though, if you spoil it, you spoil it for everyone...' Pompous critics and culture journalists Martin Bain-Jones (Armstrong) and Craig Children (Miller), present a frightfully clever culture show, a wry look at the fringes of popular music. They're hip, they're happening - so they say - and in these four episodes they discuss Boy Bands ('Peter Andre would be in a band if he had any mates'), Middle of the Road ('those bland or unchallenging songs'), as well as Brit Pop and Solo Artists. Follow them as they compete to get the best scoop. Who knows, they may even win a Best of the Rest Award. A 'Brest' in other words.... Children's Hour is co written by Alexander Armstrong & Ben Miller, with David Mitchell & Robert Webb, and guest stars Luke Goss.
