It is hidden on a distant, mysterious island--and Jim manages to escape the furious pirates with the map. Now the prospect of finding such fantastic wealth exerts a magic spell on all and sundry.

But Jim Hawkins knows all too well that her life is worthless if Long John Silver and his men should discover her. As the Hispaniola sails on towards Treasure Island, Jim tries to gain Sheila's trust--to help her find the traces of her deceased father's life in the buried treasure.

- There Used to Be a Me: Peter Sellers: Comic Genius Peter Sellers, rightly regarded as a comic genius, lived a life full of success and excess - fuelled by indulgence and wild mood swings. Dying at an early age in 1980, Sellers left no autobiography, no revealing record of his life and feelings. This audio play aims to fill that gap. Featuring an incredible solo performance from Alfred Molina (loved by many in his role as Marvel's Doctor Octopus) this comic fantasy allows Sellers to construct his own documentary on his own life, told through his own eyes. There Used to Be a Me bubbles with comedy insight into the workings of an eccentric - and, at times, cruel - mind, examining the pressures of a tortured imagination when given free and total control...but unable to take full responsibility. As Sellers once said: 'There used to be a me. But, I had it surgically removed.'
