Charlie Crocker

Tell Charlie which book you want to review - please make sure you put your choices in order of preference.

CHARLIE CROCKER BOOK CLUB TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Each fortnight (on the first and third Monday of each month) new books will be announced on the Charlie Crocker Show and posted on this webpage. One copy of each book is available to listeners. If you are interested in reading and reviewing one of the books you need to call or e-mail the programme using the Charlie Crocker webpage to show your interest. Only one application for a book will be accepted per person. The phoneline for receiving applications will be open on the relevant Monday from 1300 to 1600. The calls will be charged at the standard rate of a local call. The rate of calls from mobile phones may differ. The number to call for this is 0845 30 30 961. The applications will be gathered and the reviewer will be allocated entirely at random after the show comes off air.  The person who is picked will then be contacted to make appropriate arrangements. If you are picked to receive a book you must review the book on The Charlie Crocker Show (the reviewer will have approximately a fortnight to read the book). You are also invited to ask the author of the book the first questions of their interview where this is possible. It is preferred that the reviewer do this live on air, but if not possible then the review and questions can be pre-recorded at a convenient time. The reviewer will be announced on the show on the Tuesday following the launch of the books on the Charlie Crocker Show and indicated on the webpage to let people know which books are taken. If there is no interest in a book, this will also be announced to allow people to continue to call and apply to be a reviewer for the Charlie Crocker Book Club. If you are interested in more than one book then indicate your order of preference when applying.  If you fail to get your first choice of book you will be entered into the draw for your second choice. No-one under the age of 18 years old can apply. No BBC staff (or their close relations) can apply. The personal details you give us when entering this draw will only be used by the BBC for the purposes of the draw. You can only apply using your main residential address. They will be stored under the terms of the Data Protection Act. The BBC reserves the right to cancel this registration and selection process at any stage, if deemed necessary in its opinion, and if circumstances arise outside of its control. The books are for the purposes of the Charlie Crocker Book Club only and cannot be resold.
