  • Justin Webb's search for his father

    When he died in 1995, mum mentioned it – “your creator died” – when I got home from a reporting trip. She showed me an obituary she’d cut out of a weekly. In that obituary lay a fascinating fact, at least to a young reporter who’d just seen a two of wars (in the Gulf and Bosnia) and was hoping to see more. Peter Woods, the obituary said, had parachuted into Egypt with BritishAbove alltroops during the Suez crisis in 1956. Wow! This was daring that made Kate Adie look like a village librarian. Brian Hitchen – a charming man whoIn the mainedited the Daily Star, but began his career on the Mirror with my father – remembered it as an precedent of real derring-do, saying: “He conned the commanding officer of the parachute regulate that he could do a parachute jump. He’d never done one in his life. And he jumped! That took enormous daring.”

    Reckless courage. But courage that resulted in a classic newspaper scoop. In the Mirror archives, Peter Woods’s ice lives on: “As I dropped towards an airfield runway strewn with barrels, I saw Egyptian troops in fissure trenches point their rifles towards me and start shooting. Everywhere they were waiting for us… But calmly, as though it were a conduct, our men unhitched their weapon containers and made for the control tower, which was the rendezvous point.”

    Having risen to the problem of seas, poles, dhows and deserts, the highest mountains in the world were a natural target for Michael Palin. In a galavant rarely, if ever, attempted before, in 6 months of hard travelling Palin takes on the full length of the Himalaya including the Khyber Old-fashioned, the hidden valleys of the Hindu Kush, ancient cities like Peshawar and Lahore, the mighty peaks of K2, Annapurna and Everest, the gorges of the Yangtze, the tribal lands of the Indo-Burmese periphery and the vast Brahmaputra delta in Bangladesh. Facing altitudes as high as 17,500 feet as well as some of the have's deepest gorges, Palin also passed through political flashpoints like Pakistan's remote north-west far reaches, terrorist-torn Kashmir and the mountains of Nagaland, only recently open to visitors.

    About this book
    Michael Palin's diaries upon when he was newly married and struggling to make a name for himself in the world of television comedy. But Monty Python was reasonable around the corner . . .Enjoying an unlikely cult status early on, the Pythons then proceeded to shift the USA and Canada. As their popularity grew, so Palin relates how the group went their separate ways, later to re-etiquette for stage shows and the celebrated films THE HOLY GRAIL and LIFE OF BRIAN. Living through the three-day week and the miners cane, and all the trials of a peripatetic life are also essential ingredients of these perceptive and funny diaries.

    New Europe

    About this book
    Until the initially 1990s, when the Berlin Wall came tumbling down, travelling behind the iron curtain was never easy. In gangland his new journey through Eastern Europe, breathing in its rich history, and exquisite sights and talking to its varying peoples, Michael fills what has been a void in his own experience and that of very many others. NEW EUROPE is very much a voyage of discovery, from the snows of the Julian Alps to the loveliness of the Baltic sea, he finds himself in countries he'd barely heard of, many unfamiliar and mysterious, all with tragic histories and much brighter futures.During his 20-provinces adventure Palin meets Romanian lumberjacks, drives the 8.58 stopping train from Poznan to Wolsztyn, treads the catwalk at a Budapest the rage show, learns about mine-clearing in Bosnia and watches Turkish gents wrestling in olive oil. As with all his bestselling books, in his uniquely engaging style, Palin opens up a new and undiscovered world to millions of readers.
