À propos de cet audio
This long-awaited memoir from one of Britain's best-loved celebrities - a writer, broadcaster, activist, comic on stage, screen and radio for nearly 40 years, presenter of QI and Great British Bake Off star - is an autobiography with a difference: as only Sandi Toksvig can tell it.
'Between the Stops is a sort of a memoir, my sort. It's about a bus trip really, because it's my view from the Number 12 bus (mostly top deck, the seat at the front on the right), a double-decker that plies its way from Dulwich, in South East London, where I was living, to where I sometimes work - at the BBC, in the heart of the capital. It's not a sensible way to write a memoir at all, probably, but it's the way things pop into your head as you travel, so it's my way'.
From London facts including where to find the blue plaque for Una Marson, 'The first black woman programme maker at the BBC', to discovering the best Spanish coffee under Southwark's railway arches; from a brief history of lady gangsters at Elephant and Castle to memories of climbing Mount Sinai and, at the request of a fellow traveller, reading aloud the Ten Commandments; from the story behind Pissarro's painting of Dulwich Station to performing in Footlights with Emma Thompson; from painful memoires of being sent to Coventry while at a British boarding school to thinking about how Wombells Travelling Circus of 1864 haunts Peckham Rye; from anecdotes about meeting Prince Charles, Monica Lewinsky and Grayson Perry to Bake-Off antics; from stories of a real and lasting friendship with John McCarthy to the importance of family and the daunting navigation of the Zambezi River in her father's canoe, this Sandi Toksvig-style memoir is, as one would expect and hope, packed full of surprises.
A funny and moving trip through memories, musings and the many delights on the Number 12 route, Between the Stops is also an inspiration to us all to get off our phones, look up and to talk to each other because, as Sandi says, 'Some of the greatest trips lie on our own doorstep'.

Histoire
At last, the definitive audiobook about perhaps the best cabin crew dramedy ever filmed: View from the Top starring Gwyneth Paltrow. In Ayoade on Top, Richard Ayoade, perhaps one of the most 'insubstantial' people of our age, takes us on a journey from Peckham to Paris by way of Nevada and other places we don't care about. It's a journey deep within, in a way that's respectful and non-invasive; a journey for which we will all pay a heavy price, even if you've waited for the smaller paperback edition. Ayoade argues for the canonisation of this brutal masterpiece.

This is a self help-book like no other. Because you are not helping yourself, James Acaster is helping you. When James quit all forms of social media in 2019 he felt like he'd been born anew, but he was worried he'd suffer withdrawal and get lured back online to compete in a never ending popularity contest with only one possible winner (f--king Zuckerberg). He knew that in order to stay clean he'd have to replace everything social media used to give him with three-dimensional real-life activities.

Why is every film or tv programme a sequel or a remake? Why are people so f***ing hung up about swearing? Why do the asterisks in that sentence make it okay? Why do so many people want to stop other people doing things, and how can they be stopped from stopping them? These and many other questions trouble David Mitchell. Join him on a tour of the absurdities of modern life - from Ryanair to Richard III, Downton Abbey to phone etiquette, UKIP to hot dogs made of cats.

One of the best book of any genre around
Fantastic book on every level. Wish there was a part two: another bus line, different set of historical facts related to place, another set of personal anecdotes. I’m sure Sandi has better things to do with her time but it would be wonderful.

Between the Stops is an absolute gem!
Between the Stops is more than just a memoir; it’s a celebration of life’s everyday adventures, the unexpected moments that shape us, and the importance of slowing down to appreciate the journey. Sandi has crafted a book that’s as charming as it is thought-provoking.
I don't know how she does it ALL... but I'm so glad she does. Thank you, Sandi, for being you.

Very enjoyable read . Interesting mix of getting to know London with historical tidbits and getting to know Sandi.

What a wonderful book
I loved this book. Sandi Toksvig has ingenious way of looking at life. I loved the idea, first of all, of telling a life story while on a bus route. As a non driver, I could imagine myself sitting beside Sandi as talked about her life, the bus route and its history. I would be fully engaged with her narrative while getting upset at certain places, cheering her on herself as well as just going,”wow!” At various places. Ms. Toksvig is a great teacher and historian. She also is a great companion of equality. I wish there were more Sandi Toksvigs in the world. Thank you for writing this book. I feel like you broaden the boundaries of my mind.

Such a brilliant storyteller and woman!
I sincerely enjoy Sandi, so clever and smart. Full of fun facts, endearing personal stories and truly genuine. I find myself going back to this one in my library. Making my husband listen to bits I can't tell the way she does. I hope Audible gets more of her books, read by her of course!

Worth your time & thoroughly enjoyable
Toksvig's writing is clever, funny and entertaing as expected. A fun listen & engaging, it had me laughing out loud more than once.
What surprised me was the scope of Toksvig's lived experience, she's lead quite a remarkable life and the story she has crafted by living it well is utterly fascinating. Toksvig writes with passion & integrity.
I enjoyed the book, and listening to her read it. I suspect you will too.
