Read all about it! : 100 sensational years of the Daily Mirror

For a century the "Daily Mirror" has been part of the fabric of Britain, from its origins as a journal for gentlewomen to the born-again tabloid which became the biggest seller of all time under the mercurial Hugh Cudlipp.There were times when the "Mirror" made its own headlines - accused of sedition and nearly shut down in wartime, mugged and left for dead by conman Robert Maxwell, sued and rocked by scandal again and again.Warts and all, this is the inside story of all those stories, and the people who made them happen, fuelled by a heady cocktail of genius, courage, humour and, more often than not, alcohol.For the men and women who drove the "Mirror's" circulation beyond 5 million copies a day had a thirst for more than success and boundless appetite for spending the company's money.In time, the excesses of the glory days were to play a part in pushing the newspaper into the grasping hands of Robert Maxwell, a man whose own excesses knew no limit.This is the story of the newspaper that changed the face of journalism in the 20th century.

It is a story of the Great and the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, the heroes and villains who played their part in the "Mirror's" history and are forever part of its folklore, from legends of the newspaper world such as Cudlipp, Cecil King, Bill Connor, Marje Propps and Keith Waterhouse to the headline-makers of the early 20th century such as Alistair Campbell and Anne Robinson.
