Greek as a Treat

on BBC Radio 4 FM

First of six programmes. It was Winston Churchill sounding off about the way he would educate the youth of England who said, "I would let the clever ones learn Latin as an honour - and Greek as a treat".

"Greeceproof", makes a personal enquiry into the vanishing values of a posh education.
