The Story of Britain's Royal Builders and Collectors in nine films.
Told by Huw Wheldon

Restored Newmarket and Royal Ascot, Chelsea Pensioners, and the Crown Jewels owe their existence to the later Stuarts. Charles II's reign, despite his reputation as 'the Merry Monarch' was not all trumpery and pleasure. Founder of the Royal Society and the Royal Observatory, he had a huge influence on the beginnings of yachting in Britain and the development of the British Navy. In Christopher Wren, who designed the Royal Naval Hospital at Greenwich and redesigned Hampton Court Palace, the later Stuarts gave a great architect the opportunity to produce great architecture, not just for the court but also for the nation.

Live from a badger sett in the heart of the countryside, television's 'Eye in the Night' focuses on wild badgers.
With Phil Drabble, Dr Ernest Neal. Introduced by Bruce Parker.

Each night this week, for the first time on television, remotely controlled infra-red sensitive cameras that can see in the dark, give viewers a unique opportunity to observe a colony of wild badgers.

The chances of making successful sightings at night are finely balanced. With care, patience and a measure of luck, the team of naturalists hopes to see the intimate nocturnal behaviour of badgers as they emerge from their underground home.
