Leviathan

BBC Two
on BBC Two England

The first of eight programmes, based on the acclaimed Radio 4 series, looking at how history has shaped current news stories.
Michael Portillo reports on bitter Tory in-fighting in the 19th century, and explores how Disraeli managed to reunite his party. Also tonight, in a report to mark the 50th anniversary of Indian independence, Mark Urban asks why Kashmir chose to join India rather than Pakistan, and with August Bank Holiday approaching, the programme looks at seaside excursions earlier this century.
