' They got the answer these pixies.... no doubt about it. All that running around, doing things ... just a distraction. All you want is a nice lawn, and a log to sit on ... and a pipe, and there you are ... you're made. Keep still ... let everything else move. Watch. They got the answer these pixies ... no doubt about it.'

The Drive for Education - then and now
Introduced by Rachael Evans

In the remote Norfolk village of the Rudhams where she grew up, Rachael Evans talked to several families - grandparents, parents and children.

The oldest remembers when he had to take 1d fee to school every morning (and what happened when he spent it on sweets): the youngest is still at grammar school. How have attitudes changed to the importance of 'a good start'?

by ROSEMARY ANNE SISSON abridged by GARRIEL WOOLF Read by David March
In the year 1800 the Sussex coast was a wild place. Sometimes the night would be lit by strange lights, its silence broken by low voices and muffled oars. It was dangerous to ask questions, dangerous to be an exciseman.
Produced by JOHN CARDY (First of 13 instalments)
