The Knights of Malta
The Order of St John is our last direct link with the Crusades. For over nine centuries the Order has cared for the sick - from the earliest times of the pilgrims to our own day, when that ideal is still carried on by the members of the St John Ambulance.
John Julius Norwich tells the extraordinary story of the Knights of St John , filmed on the island of Rhodes and in Malta where the great confrontation with the Turks was to reach its climax when the Order held off the huge armies of Suleiman the Magnificent in the siege of 1565, and saved Western Europe for Christianity.

This week: Post-natal Depression - from Baby Blues to Breakdowns However much she has longed for a baby, however supportive her husband and family, however uncomplicated her labour, a new mother may find herself inexplicably tearful and depressed. Sometimes called ' The Baby Blues', it doesn't usually last for long. But for one in every ten mothers it becomes a serious problem - so serious that she needs help. And for some women (one in every 200), childbirth triggers off a severe illness called puerperal psychosis. Jeanne la Chard and Nick Ross ask doctors and psychologists about the causes of post-natal depression and how it can be treated. Also in the programme are those who've had first-hand experience of post-natal depression.
