Celia Imrie and Toby Jones star in this BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of Gerald Durrell's much-loved comic gem. My Family and Other Animals is the classic tale of naturalist Gerald Durrell's magical 1930s childhood on pre-war Corfu. His descriptions of his eccentric family and his encounters with the local creatures are full of humour and charm, and the book has delighted readers of all ages for sixty years. Ten-year-old Gerry is the youngest member of the Durrell family, which also consists of Mother, pompous eldest son Larry, gun-mad second son Leslie, acne-ridden sister Margo, and Roger the dog. When they arrive in Corfu, Gerry is thrilled to find a paradise of exotic wildlife to be explored. Soon he is embarking on natural history expeditions, swimming in the clearblue sea and befriending the island's inhabitants.Gerry's relatives are less impressed with his exploits, especially when his burgeoning animal collection sparks chaos at the family's Christmas party... With a specially created soundtrack, this vivid adaptation takes the story out of the studio and into the Greek wilderness that enthralled Durrell the young naturalist. Duration: 2 hours approx.

Bol PartnerLiteratuurgeschiedenis geeft feiten, jaartallen en opiniërende beschrijvingen, maar de ervaringen en gedachten van de auteurs blijven meestal buiten beschouwing. DE GEVOELIGE PLAAT - LITERAIR ALBUM is dan ook een uniek document. Honderd schrijvers zochten in hun eigen fotoalbum naar de gevoelige momenten: uit hun prille jeugd, uit de periode waarin zij als schrijver begonnen, en uit de meer succesvolle jaren. Iedere herinnering kreeg de vorm van een lang bijschrift waarin de literatuurgeschiedenis tot leven wordt gebracht. Deze aanpak levert een bijzonder album op. Het literaire leven van de laatste vijftig jaar, zoals de schrijvers het zien.
