with Barry Norman
Anton Dolin was Britain's first male ballet star. Best known for his partnership with Alicia Markova , he was also famous as a film and theatre performer before the Second World War. Today, at 77, Sir Anton is still active - travelling the world as a teacher and choreographer. On the eve of the publication of Dolin, Friends and Memories, he talks, with the aid of some rare film, of Dolin in action, of his life as a dancer and the people he knew and worked with - Diaghilev, Nijinsky, Cocteau and Picasso.
Susan Hill's first book for seven years, The Magic Apple Tree, describes the changing seasons in an Oxfordshire village. But a sense of belonging and community spirit have their price. Has the contentment she has found in country life prevented her from writing novels?
