All the celebs want for Christmas

"I would absolutely love to be given a new laptop this Christmas as my old one recently broke down and I badly need one for college essays and assignments. Fingers crossed! Rosanna Davison

"I'd love to find some cash as I seem to have run out and am in my overdraft! Anything will do!"

Lisa Cannon

"I'd have to say the item I would love to wake up to would be the Thermomix. It's the ultimate kitchen appliance. It does everything. The only thing it can't do is make me a cup of tea! It's pretty pricey though at €995. I know, I'm such a wild 22-year-old!

The Beatles started a revolution back in the USSR

If ever a band has been well served by the literary world it's The Beatles. Practically every aspect of that revolutionary body of work has been dealt with in book form... or so one would have thought. From Hunter Davies' The Beatles, through Philip Norman's Shout, Bob Spitz's humongously detailed history and Ian McDonald's brilliant Revolution in the Head, which offered a musical and contextual analysis of every song they ever recorded, surely there's nothing left of interest to diehard fans of the Fabs. Well, think again.
