The program format of "Who Wants to be a Millionare?" has been sold to 120 countries—the most successful British light entertainment export of all time. In this book, presenter Chris Tarrant tells the story of the show's development from day one in September 1998, and describes his own thoughts about its enormous success. The book includes many of the multiple-choice questions from the show, as well as the stories of the big winners, big losers, and some hysterical screamers.

Dad's War

Magna Large Print Books

Chris Tarrant and his father Basil were very close; they played sports together, watched sports together, and shared the same sense of humor. Chris loved and admired his father, but it was only after his death he realized that he hardly knew him at all. . . Basil Avery Tarrant grew up in 1920s Reading, where the smell of beer and cookies from the local factories filled the air. He worked as an administrator in a local factory, and spent his Saturday nights down at the music halls. But what happened to Basil during the war, and how he came to be awarded the Military Cross, remained a mystery to Chris and his family for nearly 60 years. In this emotional journey, Chris discovers that Basil was involved in some of WWII’s most significant campaigns, including the Dunkirk evacuation and the D-Day landings, and also took part in some of the most brutal, close-range fighting in Cleve. Dad's War is a profoundly moving and heartfelt tribute to a much-loved father, but it’s also a sincere and humble commemoration of the bravery and sacrifice of the soldiers of WWII.

Over the last two and a half years, Chris Tarrant has traveled, literally, all around the world filming Extreme Railway Journeys. Chris’s journeys have taken him to the Congo, India, Australia, Bolivia (twice), Japan, Siberia, Myanmar, Canada, and Cuba, and the latest programs see the completion of filming in Alaska, Argentina, Azerbaijan, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. Beautifully illustrated with exclusive color photographs, Extreme Railway Journeys is not only a record of remarkable journeys in extraordinary places by one of our shrewdest commentators. It is also a demonstration of the principle that "to travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive."

Fishing in small stillwaters in an aspect of game fishing which now attracts an increasing number of UK fly-fishers. This is a guide to the practical issues, such as the operation of small stillwaters; membership and location; the types of fish available; rearing and stocking policies; the clarity, depth and water-flow on the fisheries; and tackle requirements. An extensive look at standard techniques includes the most basic starting up, cover casting, line control, retrieves, playing and netting. Tactics for the more advanced are also detailed - choice of line densities, dry-fly methods, Chironomid fishing and emerger patterns - and there is coverage of more general topics such as the ethics of the sport, management of stillwater fisheries, and the competitive scene. The author's other books include "Big Trout Fishing" and "An Introduction to Fly Tying".
