Only Fools and Horses. Blackadder. Allo Allo. Yes Minister. Red Dwarf. Just some of the classic British sitcoms that graced our television screens in the 1980s.The 1980s was an even more divisive and controversial decade than the 70s, both culturally and politically. The Conservative government, presided over by Margaret Thatcher, was in power the entire decade, and as a result a lot of sitcoms seemed to be more politically aware and grounded in their tone than they had been previously. Shows such as Bread and Only Fools and Horses are prime examples.The 80s also saw the creation of a new channel in Channel 4, which produced more socially conscious programming, including its comedy output. For example, there were two sitcoms that focused on black London culture: No Problem! was about a family of Jamaican heritage, and Desmonds was an award-winning sitcom revolving around a barbershop in Peckham that lasted 71 episodes.There were certainly more substantial roles for women in the 80s sitcom. The Boswells in Bread spring to mind, as does Penelope Keiths businesswoman in Executive Stress and the powerhouse quartet of comediennes who graced Girls on Top, Jennifer Saunders, Dawn French, Ruby Wax and Tracey Ullman, and of course the strong female lead characters in the enormously popular Birds of a Feather.The 1980s also saw the rise of alternative comedy, which saw expression in several sitcoms, most notably The Young Ones and Red Dwarf.Still Laughing explores these famous shows, bringing back a host of memories to readers in the process. It will also place a spotlight on the shows weve forgotten, and in most cases for good reason. The failed Adrian Edmonson sitcom Snakes and Ladders, Robert Lindsay as a boxer in Seconds Out, Marjorie and Men, a sitcom that quietly crawled away and died but not without announcing Patricia Routledge as a force to be reckoned with, and Split Ends, a Granada sitcom that was Anita Dobsons first television project after leaving EastEnders in 1988.This is nostalgia with a capital N, an oral history, the last word, but also a slice of TV history and an affectionate salute to those shows that so many of us grew up with.

Contundente e informado perfil de Nayib Bukele, escrito desde el exilio.Un perfil del líder autoritario de El Salvador, el mandatario más popular de América en la última década: Nayib Bukele. Sarcástico cuando cabe y con una apuesta clara por la narracion, Oscar Martinez retrata al dictador en siete capitulos, cada uno en torno a una escena reveladora. Desde 2020, el autor dirige Elfaro.net, el medio salvadoreño mas atacado por Bukele desde que llego al poder: ha coordinado investigaciones que han sacado a la luz decenas de casos de corrupcion, violaciones masivas de los derechos humanos y pactos criminales que atraviesan todo su gobierno. El libro fue escrito en sus primeros seis meses de exilio, debido a ordenes de captura por su trabajo periodistico.

Crónica maestra del periodismo latinoamericano: un relato universal sobre una comunidad y el desamparo.Las Heras es una localidad ubicada en la provincia argentina de Santa Cruz, que brotó en el desierto patagonico con la llegada del ferrocarril y la explotacion del petroleo por parte del Estado. Cuando la prosperidad se desvanecio, entre otras cosas por la privatizacion de la petrolera, solo quedaron el viento, la indiferencia y un puñado de habitantes.Entre 1997 y 1999, el suicidio de doce jovenes, todos muy conocidos en la ciudad, sacudio a Las Heras. No hubo un listado oficial de aquellas muertes, nadie encendio las luces de alarma. Se decia que en el pueblo pasaban cosas raras, que detras de las muertes se encontraba una secta, pero tambien que, en aquella tierra desolada, no habia futuro para la juventud. Publicado en 2005, Los suicidas del fin del mundo fue el libro fundacional de Leila Guerriero. La periodista argentina viajo a Las Heras para indagar en la serie de suicidios. Recorrio las mismas calles ventosas por las que habian caminado los suicidas y entrevisto a madres, novios, hermanas y amigos de los muertos, a prostitutas, peluqueros y profesores de colegio que los habian conocido. Para reconstruir aquellas vidas, escucho testimonios a veces inconclusos, a veces contradictorios, que daban cuenta de existencias duras y olvidadas.La cronista se mueve por las paginas con voz recogida y observa, con una sensibilidad que no se permite el sentimentalismo, el relato comunitario que revela la tragedia. Las voces de los dolientes atraviesan esta cronica, rodeadas por un paisaje yermo que Guerriero convierte en parte fundamental de la narracion. Con lenguaje crudo y eficaz, se hunde en las profundidades de la perdida, el dolor, la violencia, el desempleo y la marginalidad en un pueblo que podria contar la historia de tantos otros. De fondo, persiste el alarido del viento que chirria en un presente aun sin perspectiva ni esperanza.

¿Y si además de alzar la voz paramos la oreja? ¿Y si corremos la percepción de que la potencia política está en la voz y nos entregamos a la potencia política de la escucha? "En medio de esta ola de aturdimiento, provocaciones y aceleracion, que se sostiene en nuevos silenciamientos y cristaliza nuevas formas de lo indecible y lo inescuchable, nadie como Gabriel Giorgi para reconocer como el ejercicio critico de la escucha puede alimentar y transformar las luchas del presente. Para desentramar los modos en que trabaja la lengua publica y buscar fugas en los subsuelos de la lengua. Para poner el oido en el dia a dia de la calle y en el tiempo a tiempo de la literatura. Literatura, no como un lugar donde escribimos lo que escuchamos, sino donde aprendemos a escuchar. Parar la oreja para activar otras resonancias, para batallar por nuestra atencion, para reconocer otras temporalidades, para inventar otros tiempos" (Dani Zelko).

As hilarious, charming, eccentric, informative, addictive and delightful as the show itself STEPHEN FRYMuch-loved radio drama The Archers has been at the heart of British life for over seventy years, and the momentous events and changes of this time have all found a place in Ambridge. For more than three decades, scriptwriter Graham Harvey was the man behind the shows farming storylines, writing over 600 episodes and crafting some of its most memorable moments: the Great Flood, the trashing of Brians GM crop, the loss of the Grundy family farm.In this book Graham interweaves personal memories of these moments with extracts from the scripts he created, offering behind-the-scenes details of how key characters and plotlines were developed, keeping pace with the real changes taking place in village and farm life. He also explores the part the show played in setting Britain on its disastrous transition from small-scale, sustainable farming to industrial agriculture. Could it now help guide the nation back to the nature-friendly, planet-saving methods we so desperately need?Underneath The Archers relates a personal drama, too: how Graham uncovered his fathers dark, wartime secret, the trauma which was to blight their family life. The insecurities of his youth gave Graham a deep attachment to the fictional community he was creating. The reassurance he found was in a love for England: its land, its soil, its farming culture a love that found its perfect expression in the world of Ambridge and its inhabitants.
