The Velvet Glove

on BBC Two England

The fifth of six programmes in The Warrior's Return by BERYL BAINBRIDGE , with A fugitive from marriage, Annie Besant became celebrated as atheist, free-thinker and leader of the match girls' strike. Then at the height of her fame, she ' shot new arrows into the air'. This time her inspiration came from the East, from people the conventional world thought eccentric.
