The memsahib arrived, and so did Civil Servants, often to become judge, doctor, and administrator all in one. Bureaucracy flourished, and at the very top reigned the Viceroy.
Narrated by Robert Hardy.

For the first of four Spinners' Specials, Tony, Cliff, Hughie and Mick went to Cornwall to sing of Spring and meet the fertility symbol of Padstow - the grotesque 'Obby 'Oss.
On May Day for hour after hour the 'Obby 'Oss dances wildly to the Padstow May song, and the entire town throbs to the basic urges and music of Spring. The Spinners join the celebrations and also sing their own style of songs.

Imagine that the Germans had invaded England in the 1940s and occupied Hatfield House, Windsor Castle and Hampton Court, and then burnt them to the ground in revenge because they could not capture London.
That's the sort of situation that faced the Leningraders after the 900-Day Siege. They decided to restore everything that had been destroyed. They have been working for 25 years and it might take as long again to finish the task.
