From the pleasure of escaping our daily lives and finding laughter, to musing on what makes the world go round and finding solace, poets of all ages have helped us find a way there. In 1996 BBC Bookworm held a poll to find 100 of the nation's best-loved poems. They were published in the Nation's Favourite Poems and featured classics, including Tennyson's 'The Lady of Shalott' and Wordsworth's 'The Daffodils', alongside popular contemporary poems, such as Jenny Joseph's 'Warning' and W.H Auden's 'Stop All the Clocks'.

This collection continues to delight and move us with its eclectic mix of favourite poems. Yet, while it contains so many of our best-loved poems, there are a wealth of outstanding poems across the ages...

This wonderful anthology contains some of the nation's all-time favourite comic verse. From much-loved classics such as Lewis Carroll's curious `Jabberwocky' to lesser-known and forgotten gems such as Gelett Burgess' `The Purple Cow', Griff Rhys Jones takes us on a poetic tour of the witty, the nonsensical and the plain laugh-out-loud funny. The selection brings together poets from every age and every walk of life, from Shakespeare to Victoria Wood and from Keats to Benjamin Zephaniah.

There is Roald Dahl's cunning variation on `Little Red Riding Hood', Spike Milligan's brilliantly ridiculous `On the Ning Nang Nong' as well as several entries from the ever-elusive Anon, including the delightfully succinct `Peas'. Remembered...

In BBC television's Bookworm poll to find Britain's favourite love poem, Elizabeth Barrett Browning's How Do I Love Thee? was voted number one. In this popular selection of over eighty poems, poets of every age consider that most universal of themes: love. From traditional favourites such as Shakespeare's Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer's Day? and Robert Burns' A Red, Red Rose to contemporary poems such as John Fuller's Valentine and Ted Hughes' Lovesong, this anthology read by Judi Dench, Michael Williams, Charlotte Attenborough and Paul Rhys is proof that Britain is a nation of romantics at heart.

From Shakespeare to W.H Auden and Michael Rosen, poets have written moving and inspiring poems to honour and remember loved ones, while in response to war, the poetry of Siegfried Sassoon and Wilfred Owen has become among many others emblematic of an age and has helped us to understand the horror of war and remember those who died. In this 12th collection in the Nation's Favourite series over 100 poems by Britain's best-loved poets are brought together on the theme of remembrance to offer solace, scope for reflection and inspiration.

This unique anthology brings together the results of the poll in a collection of the nation's 100 best-loved poems. Among the selection are popular classics such as Tennyson's 'The Lady of Shallot' and Wordsworth's 'The Daffodils' alongside contemporary poetry such as Allan Ahlberg's 'Please Mrs Butler' and Jenny Joseph's 'Warnin'. Also included in the poignant 'Do Not Stand at my Grave and Weep'.

Planet Earth is the most spectacular look at our planet that has ever been broadcast. It has made millions of viewers aware of the breathtaking beauty and variety of life on our planet, and just as importantly how fragile that life can be. The premise of Planet Earth The Future is to identify environmental and conservation issues that surround some of the sequences in Planet Earth, and put these issues to leading commentators, including NGO's, politicians and religious leaders James Leape (WWF International), Jeffrey McNeely (World Conservation Union), and the Archbishop of Canterbury to name but a few of the 35 contributors.

We are living in destructive times, and our responsibility for the planets stewardship is something none of us can afford to ignore. Comprised of transcripts...

The best stories are the true ones, and there can be few BBC series that have generated as many gripping tales as Planet Earth. With producers and camerapeople travelling to every continent and almost every corner of the world, from the highest mountains to the lowest depths, their adventures have been many and unforgettable. Using every kind of craft and technological wizardry imaginable, from helicopters and submersibles, to satellites and remote cameras, they have also witnessed remarkable things.

And what makes so much of the series special are the unique aerial perspectives from which they have filmed so many of the animals. This book tells the dramatic tales of their encounters, discoveries and many trials and tribulations. Also revealed are the ingenious means by which some of the...

In 'Pole to Pole' we join Michael Palin on the second of his epic journeys. Traveling from the North Pole to the South Pole he experiences every extreme the globe has to offer.

From then on, Palin negotiates his way past the advances of friendly locals, dodges occasional gunfire and battles with an unruly digestive system to finally stand in Scott's shoes at the South Pole in the...
