On 30 January 1889 the body of Crown Prince Rudolph of Austria was found in Mayerling, his hunting lodge in the Vienna Woods. He had been shot. So had the young girl whose body lay beside his. Was it suicide or murder? If it was murder, who was responsible? If suicide, did he die for love? Many novels, plays, and films have followed the romantic path to Mayerling, but this programme is concerned only with what really happened.

At last there is one certainty in politics - there must be a General Election within the next 12 months. While the options in time are narrowing, the pressures on the Party leaders are steadily increasing. Throughout the run-up period, Radio 4 will broadcast this occasional series, specially designed to help politically-minded listeners to keep up both with the issues as they develop, and with party strategy and tactics.
