C.S. Lewis published
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in 1952, but many of its most powerful images - 'a faun carrying parcels', 'a White Witch in her sleigh', 'a magnificent lion' - had been in his mind for many years.

One year after the violent act that killed 11 of its people attending a Remembrance Day service, Ian Gall visits the town and speaks to those who are building on the ruins and rubble that was

In St Macartin's Cathedral he joins with the people of the area as they sing their Songs of Praise.
Almighty Father, who dost give; Father of everlasting grace; Fairest Lord Jesus;
Make me a channel of your peace: Dear Lord and Father of mankind; City of God;
It were my soul's desire; 0 God of earth and altar;

with Joan Bakewell On the Line
Last year, Vietnam veteran Brian Willson protested against his country's involvement in Central America. As he made his demonstration on the railway tracks of Concord
Naval Weapons Base, a train ran him over, severing his legs and puncturing his skull. Was it an accident, or a bungled attempt to silence protesters outside the base? Joan Bakewell investigates the case and reports on a hidden face of American opposition politics.
