That night, Big goes into the kitchen to find a snack. The fridge is empty but sitting on a plate is Small's last biscuit. Big smells it and holds it and then, before he really knows what he's doing, eats the biscuit. Immediately, he is shocked and guilty: he ate Small's last biscuit! Small appears and Big tells him what happened. Small, too, is shocked at what Big has done - but then reveals that he had planned to give his last biscuit to Big because he was feeling sorry for Big as he hadn't had a cookie all day long.

Having a Ball

BBC Two - Andrew Marr's The Making of Modern Britain, Having a Ball

The 1920s saw a housing boom, the creation of the BBC and the Wall Street Crash.

Andrew Marr charts the events that shaped Britain. In the 1920s, Imperial Britannia slid from view and Britain saw a housing boom and the birth of radio broadcasting.

Andrew Marr's epic series charting the events that shaped Britain.

In the 1920s, Imperial Britannia was sliding from view and a more modern Britain tried everything new and asked endless questions about how we should live our lives. A great new age of experiment arrived in politics, writing, art, sex and drugs. Survivors of World War I threw themselves into the new urban scene of nightclubs, cocktails and jazz, where royalty, gangsters and Hollywood stars rubbed shoulders with new money.

With rare archive material and vivid anecdotes, Andrew Marr tells the story of the postwar housing boom; the birth of radio broadcasting and the creation of the BBC; and revolutionary union activities on 'Red' Clydeside. Michael Collins risked his life by negotiating with Lloyd George over Ireland, and his assassination kicked off a bloody civil war that was feared by some to be the beginning of the end of the British Empire. The modern scourge of political sleaze engulfed Lloyd George in a cash-for-honours scandal involving blackmail, spies and the strange disappearance of a radical MP. The General Strike and the Wall Street Crash brought Britain's Roaring Twenties to a dramatic close. As the cocktail party of the decade came to an end, there were uncertain times ahead for modern Britain.

The events that shaped Britain, from the death of Victoria to the end of World War II.

An epic account of the events that shaped Britain, from the death of Queen Victoria to the end of the Second World War.

BBC Two - The Art on Your Wall with Sue Perkins

Sue Perkins explores the changing tastes in domestic art in post-war Britain.

Sue Perkins charts the post-war change in British taste towards domestic art, and meets bestselling artists Jack Vettriano, Mel Allen, Spencer Rowell, Martin Elliot and Sam Toft.

Sue Perkins charts the changes in British taste towards domestic art by delving into the stories of contemporary bestsellers, charting the history of post-war prints and aiming to see first hand what the average British person displays above their mantelpiece. Half of British living rooms have art on their wall bought from high street stores, and many of the British artists who created them are among the country's most successful - but we've never heard of them. 

Sue also tracks down the creators of recent history's most popular prints to discover their opinions on the images that changed their lives. Some of these iconic images are reproductions of famous artists, and some are unknowns, but who are these artists, and why are they so popular?
 
She discusses Tretchikoff, the artist behind the bestselling prints of the 50s and 60s such as the Green Lady, with Red or Dead founder Wayne Hemmingway, and meets Scottish miner-turned-painter Jack Vettriano, the artist who created the popular Singing Butler. Sue tracks down Ullswater snapper Mel Allen and chats to Spencer Rowell, the photographer behind Athena's Man and Baby, before heading to Cornwall to get to the bottom of the two million selling Tennis Girl by meeting its flamboyant creator Martin Elliot. Finally, Sue meets Sam Toft, creator of Mr Mustard, the quirky figure featured in a series of bestselling prints.
 
Sue also meets Terence Conran to find out about the revolution in interior design that took place after the Second World War, including the introduction of Habitat onto the high street, which made good design accessible to the whole community, and how that in turn has influenced the post-war taste of Great Britain.
