7.50 One Foot in the Past r Raine Spencer absorbs the grandeur of Brighton Pavilion, an edifice that bears witness to
George IV's hedonistic lifestyle, in which every room reflects his tastes. Kirsty Wark investigates debtors' prisons of the past and asks whether they were really as bad as their literary portrayal has suggested. And, in the picturesque village of Clovelly, where life has remained largely unchanged for centuries, resident Joss Ackland delves into the singular history of this north Devon community.

Sleeping with the Enemy
Marcelleand Elise are two elderly French women who live at opposite ends of the country but shared similar experiences in the Second World War. During the German occupation of France, when their husbands deserted them, they had affairs with German soldiers. In 1944, the women suffered public humiliation as punishment for their so-called collaboration horizontale. This alternative portrait of the occupation interweaves archive footage with testimony from Marcelle and Elise, neighbours and resistance fighters. See today's choices.
