Out Now


Two very gay things happened in the space of 24 hours in October 2003. Coronation Street aired its first gay kiss before the watershed. And Scott Bryan came out, aged 14, for the first time, in French class. In French. From a very young age, Scott escaped into other worlds through the small screen. Navigating the world as a queer and neurodivergent person, TV offered both an escape and a way of better understanding himself. In the shadow of Section 28 banning promotion of LGBTQ+ issues in schools, television was crucial in breaking that enforced silence. In Out Now, Scott looks back at the TV that made him, from the 90s to the present day, and the LGBTQ+ voices that were alternately championed and oppressed. Part memoir, part critique, the book takes us back to watershed moments in television history and evaluates the cultural and personal impact they had. Warm and witty in equal measure, Out Nowlooks at shows such as Queer As Folk, Desperate Housewives, Heartstopper and Heated Rivalry, and features interviews with the people behind the seminal moments - including Russell T Davies and Jonathan Harvey - that brought Scott and UK TV itself, to where they are today.

A Life in Lyrics


Freddie Mercury was one of the greatest showmen of the twentieth century. With his unparalleled voice and searing on-stage energy, he was a great pretender, a killer queen and a champion of the world. But behind the glamour lived a musician and lyricist talented beyond measure, and the creative force behind one of the most culturally significant and musically diverse bands the world has ever seen. When Freddie passed away in 1991, he left to his former fiancée and dearest friend Mary Austin not only his house and possessions but also a creative archive spanning almost two decades. From his earliest works before Queen was formed, right through to the end of his solo career, his notebooks and doodlings contain previously unpublished material including alternate lyrics and abandoned verses for ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and multiple drafts of ‘Don’t Stop Me Now’, as well as entire songs that were never recorded. Accompanied by stories, memories, and anecdotes from his lifelong companion, and illustrated with photographs from Freddie’s personal collection, many of which have never been published before, A Life in Lyrics is the definitive creative record of one of the greatest songwriters of all time.

It’s his story over the years, it’s the reality of the track, drivers’ conversations, mechanics’ dirty hands. Feel the vibrations and smell the oil!

The Arts of Ancient South Arabia


A superb collection of spectacular and varied pre-Islamic Arabian artefacts held by The al-Sabah Collection, Kuwait, many published here for the first time.Between the third millennium BCE and the third century CE the Arabian Peninsula – present-day Saudi Arabia, Oman, Yemen, United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Kuwait, as well as the Bahrain archipelago – lay at the centre of maritime trading routes between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean. Yet its fascinating pre-Islamic history has only recently begun to be communicated. A series of remarkable archaeological excavations over the past forty years have expanded the picture of the region beyond the simple nomadic desert pastoralism reported by scholars of early Islamic Arab sources. These developments in archaeology have enabled a complete reassessment of the wider history of ancient Arabia – now further illuminated by the spectacular and varied artefacts held by The al-Sabah Collection, Kuwait.This volume reveals superb examples of luxury metalware in bronze, silver and gold, created for a sophisticated elite familiar with trends in both the Greco-Roman world and eastern traditions. It also includes an impressive and diverse collection of funerary statues, stelae and carvings, many votive offerings to local deities, spectacular large loricate bronze statues from Yemen, and a range of intriguing objects that furnished homes and temples. The collection extends to a variety of gold jewellery, which has been examined and catalogued by ancient jewellery specialist Leila Ali Aquil. The inscriptions on these objects, freshly translated and annotated by epigraphist and pre-Islamic scholar Christian Robin, unlock many previously unknown aspects of South Arabian life and beliefs.This monumental volume is in two parts. Part 1 introduces the South Arabian region, its history, cultures, languages and architecture, providing a valuable and comprehensive overview and context. Part 2, by leading South Arabian archaeologist Sabina Antonini, comprises the catalogue of the collection itself, divided by object type.For art lovers, historians and philologists, this is a collection of unmatched quality and range from a region long shrouded in mystery, now revealed as a nexus of cultural antiquity.
