James Cook

James Cook (1728-1779) was a British explorer, mapmaker, and navy captain.

His three voyages to the South Pacific resulted in the mapping of previously uncharted lands.

His voyages were also renowned for their scientific discoveries and for Cook's own extraordinary leadership skills.

James King

Mark Kermode calls James King 'one of my favourite film critics and he writes with wit, flair and schoolboy-ish enthusiasm.'

King has presented movie shows for BBC Radio 1, 5Live, ITV and Sky and is an ambassador for BAFTA's annual Rising Star award. Matthew Broderick once signed his VHS copy of Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
