Story
Ostensibly a quickfire quiz, The Guessing Game is really a show that pushes facts aside in favour of flights of fancy and rewards the funniest, luckiest and most bizarre guesses. The premise is simple: host Clive Anderson fires off a series of difficult and implausible questions, and awards points to the panellists for their outlandish answers. Included here are all 12 episodes of the witty, whimsical and wildly speculative show.

Story
In this collection, Melvyn Bragg surveys how English has evolved over 1,000 years. He starts by looking at the disappearance of old dialects like that of Cumbria, and how English has been enriched by foreign languages, from Latin and Old French to dozens more as conquest, trade and immigration played their part in recent centuries. He also examines new coinages, puns and wordplay; how accents and social class are entwined; swear words; attempts to stop the evolution of language in its tracks and, lastly, the many varieties of English that are spoken around the world today.

Michelle Obama's legacy transcends categorization. Mrs. Obama was not only our first black first lady; she was President Obama's equal partner in marriage and parenthood and a tireless advocate for women's rights, education, healthy eating, and exercise. Her genre-busting personal style encouraged others to speak, to engage, even to dress as they wished.

Story
ಕಾರ್ನಾಡ್ ಅವರ ಈ ಹೊಸ ನಾಟಕವು ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನ ಸಂಸ್ಥಾಪನೆಯ ಬಗ್ಗೆ ಉಲ್ಲೇಖವನ್ನು ಹೊಂದಿದೆ, ಇದರಲ್ಲಿ 11 ನೇ ಶತಮಾನದ ರಾಜನನ್ನು ಒಬ್ಬ ವೃದ್ಧೆ ಬೇಯಿಸಿದ ಹುರುಳಿಕಾಳನ್ನು ಉಳಿಸಿದಳು. ಕೃತಜ್ಞರಾಗಿರುವ ರಾಜನು ಆ ಸ್ಥಳಕ್ಕೆ 'ಬೆಂದಕಾಳೂರು' ಎಂದು ಹೆಸರಿಸಲು ಬಯಸಿದನು, ಬೇಯಿಸಿದ ಬೀನ್ಸ್ ಸ್ಥಳ, ಇದು ಆತಿಥ್ಯವನ್ನು ಸಂಕೇತಿಸುತ್ತದೆ ಮತ್ತು ದಣಿದ ಪ್ರಯಾಣಿಕರನ್ನು ಸ್ವಾಗತಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ಆದಾಗ್ಯೂ, ಕಾಲಾನಂತರದಲ್ಲಿ ಈ ಸ್ಥಳವು ಭಾರತದ 'ಸಿಲಿಕಾನ್ ವ್ಯಾಲಿ' ಆಗಿರುವ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರಿನಾಗಿ ಹೊರಹೊಮ್ಮಿದೆ. ನಾಟಕವು ಈ ನಿರಾಕಾರ ನಗರ ಮತ್ತು ಕಳೆದ ಎರಡು ದಶಕಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಅದರ ಅಪಾರ ಬೆಳವಣಿಗೆಯನ್ನು ಅದರ ವಿಷಯವನ್ನಾಗಿಸಿದೆ.

Story
"ಬಲಿ" ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿ 1980 ರಲ್ಲಿ "ಹಿಟ್ಟಿನ ಹುಂಜ" ಎಂಬ ಹೆಸರಿನಿಂದ ಮೊದಲು ಪ್ರಕಟವಾಯಿತು. ಇದನ್ನು ಪ್ರಾಚೀನ ಕನ್ನಡ ಮಹಾಕಾವ್ಯವಾದ ಯಶೋಧರ ಚರಿತ್ರೆಯಿಂದ ತೆಗೆದುಕೊಳ್ಳಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಈ ನಾಟಕವು ಪುರಾತನ ಮಹಾಕಾವ್ಯವನ್ನು ಆಧರಿಸಿದ್ದರೂ, ಇದು ಹಲವು ಶತಮಾನಗಳ ಹಿಂದಿನಂತೆಯೇ ಪ್ರಸ್ತುತವಾದ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆಗಳನ್ನು ಪ್ರಸ್ತುತಪಡಿಸುತ್ತದೆ. ನಾಟಕದ ಕಥಾವಸ್ತುವು ನಾಲ್ಕು ಪಾತ್ರಗಳನ್ನು ಒಳಗೊಂಡಿದೆ-ರಾಜ, ರಾಣಿ, ಮಹಾರಾಣಿ (ರಾಜನ ತಾಯಿ), ಮಾವುತ. ಹಿಂದೂ ಧರ್ಮ ಮತ್ತು ಜೈನ ಧರ್ಮ ಎಂಬ ಎರಡು ಧರ್ಮಗಳಿಗೆ ಸಂಬಂಧಿಸಿದ ಎರಡು ಸಾಂಪ್ರದಾಯಿಕ ಸಿದ್ಧಾಂತಗಳಾದ ಹಿಂಸೆ ಮತ್ತು ಅಹಿಂಸೆಗಳ ನಡುವಿನ ಮುಖಾಮುಖಿಯನ್ನು ನಾಟಕದ ಮೂಲಕ ಪ್ರಸ್ತುತಪಡಿಸಲಾಗಿದೆ.

ಗಿರೀಶ ಕಾರ್ನಾಡ ಅವರು ಐತಿಹಾಸಿಕ-ಪೌರಾಣಿಕ ಕತೆಗಳನ್ನು ಆಧರಿಸಿ ನಾಟಕ ಬರೆಯುತ್ತಾರೆ ಎಂಬ ಆರೋಪ ಸರ್ವೇಸಾಮಾನ್ಯ. ಕಾರ್ನಾಡರ 'ಅಂಜುಮಲ್ಲಿಗೆ' ಅದಕ್ಕೆ ಅಪವಾದದಂತಿದೆ. ಇದೊಂದು ಸಾಮಾಜಿಕ ಕಥಾವಸ್ತು ಉಳ್ಳ ನಾಟಕ. ನಾಟಕೀಯ ಅಂಶಗಳು ಈ ಕೃತಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಇವೆ. ಆದರೆ, ರಂಗದ ಮೇಲೆ ಮಾತ್ರ ಈ ನಾಟಕ ಯಶಸ್ಸು ಕಾಣಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಓದು ನಾಟಕವಾಗಿ ಪ್ರಿಯವಾಗುತ್ತದೆಯಾದರೂ ಗಾಢವಾಗಿ ತಟ್ಟುವುದಿಲ್ಲ.
