William Harvey is annually honoured in the Harveian Oration at the Royal College of Physicians. Hundreds of thousands owe their lives to the man who discovered the circulation of the blood.
In his life, however, Harvey was to experience criticism and contempt and to see years of research destroyed by Cromwell's troops.

in conversation with BRIAN CONNELL
The former Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary recalls his childhood, the influences which helped to shape his outlook and the first stages in his political career.
I think one has to go for what one thinks is really a runner. If you reach for too much in international politics you may fail to get something useful and constructive, but less dazzling. Producer WALTER WALLICH
