Nikita Khrushchev
Summary
Nikita Krushchev: a miner's son, a rough and simple peasant, a revolutionary, an ardent party worker, and eventually one of the two most powerful men in the world. A cheerful figure at ease among cornfields, or on a factory floor; or hostile at the United Nations, taunting and accusing the West. On a state visit to the USA, he famously said, "We will bury you"; at the UN he once removed a shoe to bang it on the desk to make a point. He sparked the Cuban missile crisis that almost led to nuclear war and was responsible for the erection of the Berlin Wall. This intriguing audio biography tells of the fears and conspiracies abounding in the post-war Soviet Union during this charismatic figure's 10 tumultuous years in the Kremlin. The part of Nikita Krushchev is played by Michael Sheard, with other parts played by Michael Burrell, Shirley Dixon, and Michael Kilgarriff.

Amy Johnson, 1903 - 1941: The Famous Women Series
Summary
Amy Johnson's greatest achievement was her solo flight to Australia, made within a year of her obtaining a full pilot's licence. (At the time she was the only woman in the world to hold a full ground-engineer's licence.) In the remote jungles and islands of south-east Asia, her flying ability and engineering knowledge enabled her to complete the flight. Throughout her life she fought anti-feminine prejudice, becoming a major pioneer in aviation. Her tragic and mysterious early death in an air crash helped to turn her life into an aviation legend.
