This is the first episode of a new project, Manchester United: The Lost Tapes.You can find The Lost Tapes on its own feed, everywhere you find podcasts. Enjoy.---Few footballers have had a transformative impact to compare with that of Eric Cantona at Manchester United. When he arrived at Old Trafford from Leeds United, the club were still licking their wounds after passing 25 years without a league title - ironically, marking the occasion by coming agonisingly close in a battle with Cantona's then-club.In November 1992, the relationship between Cantona and Leeds manager Howard Wilkinson had deteriorated. Cantona had scored the Premier League's first-ever hat-trick, and his immense talent was not in doubt - but his discipline was. Wilkinson had brought Cantona to Leeds as recently as January after the Frenchman had been effectively thrown out of his domestic league. The Leeds manager was known as Sergeant Wilko for a reason; however, so too was Eric nicknamed Enfant terrible.Wilkinson found himself with an unexpected solution when he attempted to strengthen his defence. He needed a full-back, so asked his chairman Bill Fotherby to enquire whether Manchester United would allow Denis Irwin to return to Elland Road. United chairman Martin Edwards said no - but, after a brief discussion with Alex Ferguson, made a counter- offer. Could Manchester United sign Eric Cantona? A deal was swiftly agreed. Leeds felt they were losing a troublemaker. The world of football felt Ferguson was taking a gamble he could ill afford.Written by Wayne Barton. Narrated by Patrick Barclay.

Giles Fraser and guests hear from authors of detective fiction, Kate Charles and Martin Edwards, on the subtle ways they weave faith into the crime puzzles in their novels. Why is religious detective fiction so popular in our increasingly secular society? Did the detective replace the priest as the one who looked into the mysteries of life and battled with good and evil? Why do religion and detective fiction share so many noble pursuits in common? And, what is it about the detective genre that lends itself to such deep ethical and spiritual questions? To explore Giles is joined by: James Runcie, author of numerous books, including The Grantchester Mysteries, a series of six detective novels featuring the clerical detective Sidney Chambers. He is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature and a member of both the Crime Writer's Association and The Detection Club.Ausma Khan, author of the Blackwater Falls crime series and the founder of the Muslim Writers Index. Dror Mishani the author of the Avraham Avraham detective series that has been turned into a TV series by David E. Kelley. He is a literary scholar, specialising in the history of crime fiction, and the head of the creative writing program at Tel Aviv University.Producer: Alexa Good Assistant Producer: Linda Walker Editor: Tim Pemberton

Too many wild deer are roaming England’s forests. Can promoting venison to consumers help?

Some people advocate humane deer management: the culling of deer to control their numbers and ensure they don't overrun forests and farmland in a country where they no longer have natural predators. For these advocates, shooting deer is much more than a sport. It's a necessity because England's deer population has gotten out of control. There are now more deer in England than at any other time in the last 1,000 years, according to the Forestry Commission, the government department looking after England's public woodland. That has had a devastating impact on the environment, officials say. Excessive deer foraging damages large areas of woodland including young trees, as well as the habitats of certain birds like robins. Some landowners have lost huge amounts of crops to deer, and overpopulation means that the mammals are more likely to suffer from starvation and disease. Forestry experts and businesses argue that culling the deer—and supplying the meat to consumers—is a double win: It helps rebalance the ecosystem and provides a low-fat, sustainable protein. While venison—a red meat similar to lean beef but with an earthier flavor—is often perceived as a high-end food in the U.K., one charity sees it as an ideal protein for those who can't afford to buy other meats. “Why not utilize that fantastic meat to feed people in need?” said SJ Hunt, chief executive of The Country Food Trust, which distributes meals made with wild venison to food banks. The government says native wild deer play a role in healthy forest ecosystems, but acknowledges that their population needs managing. It provides some funding for solutions such as building deer fences. But experts like Martin Edwards, a spokesman for the British Association for Shooting and Conservation, believe lethal control is the only effective option, especially after deer populations surged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Shooting deer is legal but strictly regulated in England. Stalkers must have a license, use certain kinds of firearms, and observe open seasons. They also need a valid reason, such as when a landowner authorizes them to kill the deer when their land is damaged. Hunting deer with packs of dogs is illegal.

Welcome back to the new edition of the show and coming up we head back to the 1980's when the goundworks were underway for the biggest changes in the history of football as the balance of power began its shift from to associations to the tv companies when the era of commercialism really got underway. Set against a backdrop of economic recession, rampant hooliganism and suspect fashion, Go To War tells the story of how triumph and tragedy shaped English football during the 1980s. It was a decade in which some fans died watching the game they loved, and at times, the ‘slum sport' seemed set to implode. Yet, remarkably, the game was on the cusp of morphing into the behemoth it has become today. Throughout this explosive book, author Jon Spurling delves into the stories behind the successes and strife at clubs including Liverpool, Aston Villa and Arsenal, investigates the trials and tribulations of the England team and explores how ‘small-town boys' from Luton, Watford and Wimbledon made their mark. The decade also heralded the arrival of artificial pitches and fanzines, and Spurling introduces us to the new breed of high-profile executives, like Irving Scholar and Martin Edwards, who soon got busy changing the face of football. Thirty years in the making, Go To War draws heavily on interviews conducted with '80s icons including Terry Butcher, Graeme Sharp and Ray Wilkins, managerial legends like Howard Kendall and Bobby Robson and FA Cup heroes Ricky Villa and Norman Whiteside. Like its precursor, the bestselling Get It On: How the '70s Rocked Football, Go To War provides a unique insight into a pivotal footballing decade.

We discuss Bruce Hamilton's 'Too Much of Water', chapters 5-8. The deaths keep adding up - a child drowned by the pool, and a man found drowned in a bath. Only two suspects have alibis that make them possible suspects, but neither seems a likely culprit, so which way does the finger of blame point? Our unlikely detective Edgar is stuck on a boat with a serial killer, a friend under suspicion, and no clue as to when the killing spree might end. I suppose we might as well plan a concert to keep everyone calm.

Nina Wachsman and Martin EdwardsShow NotesWe talked to two more of the Agatha Nominees for this episode.First, we talked with Nina Wachsmann who is nominated for a Best First Novel for her bookThe Gallery of Beauties (Level Best Books) In the city that invented the concept of the ‘Ghetto,'it is surprising to learn that the Jews lived separately but not isolated from the culture aroundthem in the seventeenth century. Rabbis were not only leaders in the Jewish community, butscholars, mathematicians, statesmen and playwrights who were well known and respected inVenetian society and throughout Europe. The music, art and innovative foods which filled thecity, filtered into the Ghetto, finding its way into synagogues and homes.In a salon-like discussion with trustee David Sable, Nina Wachsman will bring to life this unusualcity and its unusually modern Jews, from her research for her novel of historical suspense, TheGallery of Beauties.We then talked with Martin Edwards who is nominated for Best Non-Fiction for his bookThe Life of Crime: Detecting the History of Mysteries and Their Creators (Harper Collins)In the first major history of crime fiction in 50 years, The Life of Crime: Detecting the History ofMysteries and Their Creators traces the evolution of the genre from the 18th century to thepresent, offering brand-new perspective on the world's most popular form of fiction.Author Martin Edwards is a multi-award-winning crime novelist, the president of the DetectionClub, archivist of the Crime Writers' Association and series consultant to the British Library'shighly successful series of crime classics, and therefore uniquely qualified to write this book. Hehas been a widely respected genre commentator for more than 30 years, winning the CWADiamond Dagger for making a significant contribution to crime writing in 2020, when he alsocompiled and published Howdunit: A Masterclass in Crime Writing by Members of the DetectionClub and the novel Mortmain Hall. His critically acclaimed The Golden Age of Murder (CollinsCrime Club, 2015) was a landmark study of detective fiction between the wars.The Life of Crime is the result of a lifetime of reading and enjoying all types of crime fiction, oldand new, from around the world. In what will surely be regarded as his magnum opus, MartinEdwards has thrown himself undaunted into the breadth and complexity of the genre to write anauthoritative—and enjoyable—study of its development and evolution. With crime fiction beingread more widely than ever around the world, and with individual authors increasingly thesubject of extensive academic study, his expert distillation of more than two centuries ofextraordinary books and authors—from the tales of E.T.A. Hoffmann to the novels of PatriciaCornwell—into one coherent history is an extraordinary feat and makes for a compelling listen.TRIVIALast week's question was:Author Harlan Coben made a deal with whom in 2016 to adapt 14 of his novels into film?a.

Martin Edwards is the current president of The Detection Club, a CWA Diamond Dagger winner, and those are just a few clues to the nigh-unsolvable mystery of how much one man has contributed to the genre. With the recent release of his latest non-fiction 'The Life of Crime', just months after his most recent fiction 'Blackstone Fell', there was only one such man we could turn to when it came to questions on the origin of Golden Age Detection, and Blackstone Fell. We speak with Martin about E.C. Bentley's 'Trent's Last Case', the history of Bentley's work in the genre, and then leap the small link to Martin's own latest Rachel Savernake novel, all its conundrums, contortions and creativity.

Long before the advent of true crime podcasts, 17th-century murder pamphlets sold like hotcakes in England, and dubious criminal “autobiographies” were sold at executions. On the eve of the 19th century, William Godwin published Things as They Are; or the Adventures of Caleb Williams, identified by this week's guest, Martin Edwards, as the “first thriller about a manhunt”—and a blueprint for how detective novelists would go on to construct the whodunnit. Edwards should know. He's the eighth president of the Detection Club and the author of dozens of crime novels (and about a thousand articles about other people's mysteries). Now he has written A Life of Crime, the first major history of the genre in more than 50 years, distilling two centuries of crime fiction from around the world, from the Golden Age of Agatha Christie and company to the realm of contemporary Japan.
