|title=Great Britain's Great War
|author=Jeremy Paxman
|rating=5
|genre=History
|summary=Throughout the nineteenth century, Britain was regularly at war with one or more overseas nation, be it France, Russia, South Africa or elsewhere. These conflicts generally passed the public by, except for families who had loved ones serving overseas. When the declaration of war against Germany was announced to the crowds in London in August 1914, it was assumed that once again most people would not be affected, and that it would probably be over by Christmas. This was proved wrong on both counts. A weary conflict dragged on for four long years, and nobody in Britain escaped from the long shadow which it cast.

|summary=Lollipop’s mum has just made an announcement. She started off sneakily by asking Lollipop and her brother James how they’d feel about welcoming another brother or sister to the family, but Lollipop is not stupid. She knows it’s not really up for debate. It’s already a done deal.
