This week, in the first of two programmes, John Snagge visits the Mander Organ works at Bethnal Green. He looks at some historic organs, including one on which Milton is reputed to have played, as well as a modern transportable instrument. John also finds out about the new organ for St Paul's Cathedral that was built here and was completed just in time for the Queen's Silver Jubilee.
