Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Once upon a time, there was a television series that featured three beautiful women as private detectives solving mysteries and preventing crimes. It became a huge worldwide success and cultural phenomenon, spawning a multi-media franchise that would later include films and a re-booted series. And they were each heavily criticized. Author and television enthusiast Gian-Luca Di Rocco is hoping to take them away from all that with the publication of The Angel Factor: A Critical Appraisal of Charlie's Angels. This book is the first on Charlie's Angels to review each episode and film of the entire American franchise, from its beginnings in 1976 up to its most recent film incarnation released in 2019. These comprehensive reviews focus on how well each installment refined and embodied the "Angel Factor" - those qualities that defined the Angels' characters and helped to make the concept of Charlie's Angels unique, warranted and successful. Actively engaging with the criticisms and charges levelled at the original television series, Di Rocco endeavours to answer the long-standing question of whether Charlie's Angels was a vehicle for women's empowerment, or was primarily sexist. Addressing the evolution of the Charlie's Angels franchise over the decades, Di Rocco not only turns an analytical eye to its history but also looks ahead to explore its future possibilities, as the Angels 'spread their wings' to embrace new generations.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The 2018 series of BBC Television's Doctor Who introduced viewers to a female incarnation of the character for the first time since the programme began in 1963. Fans and dedicated viewers of the series were reassured that there would be no changes to how the character would be written following the change in gender. Long-time Doctor Who enthusiast Gian-Luca Di Rocco examines the veracity of this claim. He takes a methodical approach, examining in detail the character of the Doctor as he existed from 1963 through to 2017 (using all adventures broadcast on BBC television and radio as his sources) and then analyzes to what extent the most significant and prevalent character traits were retained in the first female Doctor.In doing so, this book provides an identification of the Doctor's 20 "core" character traits which made the character a unique male action hero. It recounts some of the Doctor's most endearing and cherished qualities, including his cleverest moments, his funniest witticisms, endearing instances of arrogance and rudeness, the finest examples of his eccentricity, and his most heroic and moral actions. Di Rocco also attempts to analyze what changes have been made to the character starting with the 2018 series and the underlying factors which have caused the change. He also suggests a route that can be taken for the series going forward based upon the analysis of what made the character so beloved, unique and successful for over 50 years.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Imogen Sumner-Miller had a dream. Not just to have a career as a member of a large ensemble progressive rock band exclusively featuring women, but a large ensemble rock progressive rock band exclusively featuring curvaceous women.The first step to achieving her goal was for the band she formed - The Exquisite Curves - to win the upcoming Toronto University Battle of the Bands contest (TUBB for short). Standing in her band's way were four other bands. These consisted of a Punk rock band that played some of the crassest, most simplistic, brutal, ugly and stupid music imaginable; a controversially diverse Death Metal band; a Thrash Metal band that couldn't spell; and a Goth rock band that was so depressing in its sound that it's music made the novel Lord of the Flies seem like it was a novelization of an episode of Gilligan's Island by comparison. Imogen's dream did not encompass having her band play at being amateur detectives as they solved a murder (even if the music of the other four bands in the competition was so horrific that it often gave her the urge to become a murderer). Nevertheless, The Exquisite Curves would take on the role of top sleuths as they came together as a band, as someone in the competition was prepared to kill in order to win. Murder at the Battle of the Bands is the debut novel for The Exquisite Curves - the world's only* all-female, all-curvy, 9-member progressive rock band who are also amateur detectives in their spare time! *At least, as far as we know!
