Departmental reports
Dept of, I knew that, sort of: Cryptic crossword solvers played a vital role in military intelligence during the second world war.
Dept of, not immune to the attraction of Neanderthal Man: The downside of sex with Neanderthals.
Dept of, like no divorced couple ever remained friends: The secret letters of Wallis Simpson are sensational - but don't prove she longed for her ex.
Dept of, and why didn't they mention his Widow Twankey, which I am reliably informed brought down the house: Ian McKellen: 'My ambition is to get better as an actor'.
Dept of a compendium of insults - never has cursing been so creative.
Dept of fairies at the bottom of the garden - not: Joe Cooper, who has died aged 87, was the jovial debunker of the celebrated Cottingley fairy photographs (supposedly showing fairies captured on film in a Yorkshire garden in 1917).
Dept of, not as contented as a cow in a clover field: Yvonne the cow still on the run in Germany.
Dept of everything is illuminated: Royal Manuscripts: The Genius of Illumination at the British Library.
