St Lucia, the 'paradise found' of the travel brochures and the last unspoilt island in the Caribbean, faces an uneasy future. Currently an associated state and Britain's responsibility, it's now debating independence, an economy which some say can't even support the tourist industry and a new oil refinery which will either prove its salvation or spoil everything it's got.
Presented by Roger Cook
The Enigma of Sir Edmund Backhouse by PROFESSOR HUGH TREVOR-ROPER The story told by Hugh Burden Only with the publication of Professor Hugh Trevor-Roper 's book last year did the truth about the incredible Sir Edmund come to light. He was a confidence trickster of epic proportions. Not for financial gaim, mind you. Sir Edmund was far above that sort of thing. He indulged in flights of fancy almost beyond belief. And during a long life in China in the early years of this century he succeeded in involving and hoodwinking distiniguisihed scholars, captains of industry, eminent soldiers and British cabinet ministers in a series of ' adventures.'
