At midnight on 4 August, Britain had declared war on Germany. The pacifist Bertrand Russell was shocked by the pro-war euphoria on the streets, yet young men enlisted willingly because "it would all be over by Christmas". It was not. Instead the opposing armies had become entrenched. It was the beginning of a long and bitter stalemate.

'We Churchills die at forty,' said Winston in 1908, 'and I want to put something more on the slate before then.' By the time he died in 1965, the slate was full. From his earliest days Churchill was an ambitious character, eager for action. He achieved fame and popularity through his dispatches from the Boer War, and in 1900 was elected MP for Oldham. Until the outbreak of war in 1939 Churchill was loved and loathed in equal measure.

The astonishing story of the critical year 1923—the year when the French illegally and brutally occupied Germany's economic heartland, the Ruhr; when hyperinflation wrought havoc with the German economy and plunged millions into poverty; and when Hitler staged his abortive yet pivotal putsch in a Munich beer hall. This period saw the rise of nationalism as the intra-European consensus broke down, populist rhetoric translated into actual violence on the streets and the forces of liberalism underestimate the strength of their enemies.

With her old army friend, Sheriff Brett Diaz, by her side, Nicks uncovers a connection to a new drug cartel with a penchant for state-of-the-art technology - and plans that threaten the security of America’s southern border. Can the vicious El Draco be stopped?

Janey is sick of hearing that she's not big enough to do anything fun. If she's not big enough to do the fun stuff, she's not big enough to do the boring stuff, either.

Firsthand accounts by those who planned and took part in the Normandy landings, and eyewitness reports from BBC correspondents travelling with the troops on 6 June, 1944. In 1940, after the evacuation of the British army from Dunkirk, Winston Churchill vowed that Allied Forces would return to "cleanse Europe of the Nazi Pestilence". The logistics of Operation Overlord were daunting, but an inspired campaign of deception successfully diverted Hitler’s attention away from the Normandy beaches until it was too late.

Professor Filíp Nekola’s wife dies unexpectedly in Brno, Czechoslovakia, and his troubled teenage foster daughter, Miomir, comes under suspicion. Filíp must protect his two other wards, younger siblings brought to him six years earlier when an assassin, Karanosz Tasev, killed the children’s parents. A detective appears, telling Filíp he has learned of Tasev’s hunt for Miomir.

Whether you love or hate spoilers, Rancid is for you: in every episode, we pick a film that two of us have seen and try to spoil it for the other one. We always fail. It proves that spoilers make us want to see the film even more, mainly because the only people who are good at spoilers are the masters themselves. Shakespeare spoiled Caesar. Dante spoiled Virgil. Sex spoiled And The City. You get the idea. Come roll in the filth of ruined everything and find yourself remarkably cleaner than before. Come be Rancid with us.
