Sep 6, 2015 · David Engelbach is an experienced writer and director who wrote "Gold Rush" in MacGyver's fourth season. I always love talking to episode writers, and I was fortunate to get a hold of Mr. Engelbach and ask him some questions.

Dec 21, 2020 · The word “best” is always a misnomer, but these are my personal favorite book reviews of 2020. Nate Marshall on Barack Obama’s A Promised Land (Chicago Tribune) A book review rarely leads to a segment on The 11th Hour with Brian Williams, but that’s what happened to Nate Marshall last month.

In the past I have sometimes wondered how many books I would read if only someone had the kindness to lock me up. It turns out, this Covid year, not to be so many — but the quality has been high. Amelia Gentleman’s brilliant and devastating The Windrush Betrayal: Exposing the Hostile Environment (Guardian Faber, £10.99) fuelled me with an outrage i...
A strange year for a reader; and the most compelling literary experience I had was reading every one of Ivy Compton-Burnett’s novels between March and July. The greatest vogue this novelist had was during the war years and in the time of privation afterwards. Reading, without distraction, her penetrating, disillusioned voices in the silence of an i...
Apart from 10,000 Not Out (Unicorn, £25), David Butterfield’s satisfyingly fact-stuffed but quirky history of The Spectator, the year has left me in suspense. David Carpenter’s Henry III (Yale, £30), full of good judgment in good prose, takes the story up to the point when the pesky Simon de Montfort ends the king’s personal rule. How he got out of...
There will never be a definitive life of Hitler. The subject is too vast, the man too contradictory and the sources unmanageable. But Volker Ullrich’s biography comes as close as we can reasonably expect. The second and final volume, Downfall: 1939-45 (Bodley Head, £30), which appeared in translation this year, maintains the high standards of writi...
I haven’t read many new books this year, but thanks to the pandemic I’ve read many that I hadn’t for decades. Especially Bernard Fergusson’s Beyond the Chindwin, about the first Chindit campaign, published in 1945, and Freddie Spencer Chapman’s The Jungle is Neutral, about SOE in Malaya (1949). Also Field Marshal Slim’s Defeat into Victory(1956), w...
This hasn’t been a vintage year for fiction — plenty of novels that are woke, few that might keep anyone awake — with Martin Amis’s autofiction Inside Story (Cape, £20) being the exception. In biography it has been a far more interesting story. Along with A.N. Wilson’s bold, quirky The Mystery of Charles Dickens(Atlantic, £17.99), the best things I...
Alan Jacobs’s Breaking Bread With the Dead: A Reader’s Guide to a More Tranquil Mind(Profile Books, £12.99) should be on everyone’s reading list in these times of what a friend of mine calls ‘disagreement-phobia’ on all sides in politics and life. Jacobs thoughtfully discusses the benefits of reading long-dead authors — even though Edith Wharton wa...
In The Gran Tour(Icon, £14.99), the 33-year-old Ben Aitken joins pensioners’ coach trips to see what he can learn. At first there’s confusion (one woman thinks he’s French: ‘You looked like someone who’d go on strike a lot’), but the final result is both moving and hilarious. In Pitlochry, Kitty gets cross with Monica because she won’t do sambuca s...
Something in the ether seems to be leading to a crop of books — all excellent — about birds and grief. I absolutely loved Charlie Gilmour’s debut, Featherhood(Weidenfeld & Nicolson, £16.99). It’s a memoir about a delinquent baby magpie which comes into his care, and the troubled relationship Gilmour had with his absent (now late) biological father,...
Aunts make good copy, and Ferdinand Mount has never written a bad sentence, so his account of investigating the murky past of his Aunt Munca (she named herself after the vandalising mouse in Beatrix Potter) is bound to be a winner. Kiss Myself Goodbye: The Many Lives of Aunt Munca (Bloomsbury, £20) is a horribly funny tragedy about bourgeois aspira...
It’s been a bumper year for books, from dystopian fiction and memoir to powerful stories about race and identity. Lindsay Baker rounds up BBC Culture’s picks.
