Paul Gambaccini chose to live in Britain, arriving here at the age of 21 from his home in the United States. He won a scholarship to Oxford, and wanted to escape the administration of Richard Nixon and Spiro Agnew. Imagine his disappointment when his chosen country betrayed, psychologically tortured and abandoned him. Arrested on risible accusations of historic child sex abuse, he was disgraced in the press and made unemployable, having to pay tens of thousands of pounds in legal fees during a year in which he had no income. Finally, inevitably, he became the latest celebrity to be completely exonerated, the allegations completely thrown out. 'Love, Paul Gambaccini' is a first person account of the witch hunt Gambaccini endured at the hands of the Metropolitan Police and Crown Prosecution Service.

Early in the morning of 4 March 2015, a fierce knock at the door heralded the start of a new chapter in Harvey Proctor's almost continuous relationship with the police and media, when officers from the Metropolitan Police raided his home in connection with Operation Midland, Scotland Yard's investigation into allegations of a historic Westminster paedophile ring. In Credible and True - words famously used by the police to describe the allegations of Proctor's traducer - the former Conservative MP talks frankly about his life in and out of Parliament, from the struggles and controversy surrounding his resignation in 1987 to the numerous homophobic attacks endured since - one of which, revealed here in horrific detail for the first time, was a very nearly successful attempt on his life. Finally, he speaks candidly about his most recent embroilment in Operation Midland, of being the victim of a 'homosexual witch-hunt' that has all but destroyed his reputation, adding to the topical debate about police lack of due process in the post-Savile world of 'guilty until proven innocent'.

Few of a generation do not recall listening to Radio Luxembourg 'under the bed clothes'. At a time when the station was huge, David 'Kid' Jensen was one of its best-known names, broadcasting to millions across Europe, showcasing music at a key moment of change. Transferring eventually to the BBC, he was part of a golden era for Radio 1. When the station was reaching peak audiences he was on board, working alongside the radio names who have become part of folklore such as John Peel and Kenny Everett, and appearing in person in front of thousands at the Radio 1 Roadshows and on television to millions on Top Of The Pops. David Jensen's encounters with the big names are incomparable: Michael Jackson teaching the moonwalk on the shag pile carpet; playing football at midnight on an airport runway with the Rolling Stones; an exclusive party at the Holiday Inn with a young Freddie Mercury; going on holiday with Paul McCartney. As a knowledgeable and high-profile music-loving radio presenter, the list is never-ending and in this book he tells of his impressions of the characters: who was fun, and who was more difficult. Two years ago, David revealed he'd been battling incurable Parkinson's, saying he'd delayed disclosing his illness to all but family and close friends for fear that "people might think less of me." This is the personal story - with all its ups and downs - of the Canadian who sold his motorbike and trumpet to venture to London to pursue his dream - and achieved it.
