The first of ten programmes in which Arthur Negus revisits places for which he has a special affection, with a companion who shares his enjoyment of old and beautiful things in their proper setting.
He begins at Stratfield Saye, Berkshire, where the library has hardly changed since the first Duke of Wellington was given the house by a grateful nation after the Battle of Waterloo.
Arthur's companion is Hugh Scully , himself an admirer of the first duke.
