Spring Gardening
How do you know that the soil is suitable for what you want to grow? How do you make best use of ground and space? What can be done with herbaceous plants at this time of year? Can shrubs and small trees be moved? Is it the right time to prune and take cuttings? What treatment does a lawn need now?
Answers to these and other gardening queries and advice from Frances Perry and Geoff Amos.
In the chair Jill Burridge Produced by the Woman's Hour Unit

Producer WALTER WALLICH [number removed] (16 lines) trill take questions from 6.0 pm until the end of the programme
In a series of 13 programmes James Cameron reflects two decades which are both history and living memory.
The Government, being themselves 'gentlemen,' didn't initially believe that cads could run countries. In the mid-30s Hitler and Mussolini were the cads in question. but they weren't the only problem. Or were they?
James Cameron finds some of the answers from Anthony Eden, Bob Boothby and Winston Churchill, and from people who had other things on their minds, like the inventor of cats' eyes; from Malcolm Campbell and Stanley Holloway; from the man who drove the world's fastest train; and from those who cheered Fred Perry at Wimbledon and George V on his Jubilee.
