I drew those tides of men into my hands and wrote my will across the sky in stars
To earn you Freedom.
On 13 May 1935 a motorcyclist was travelling along a country lane in Dorset. Suddenly he came upon two boys on bicycles at a rise in the road. He swerved violently, catapulted over the handlebars and fell in the road, suffering severe head injuries. When he died six days later in the Bovington Military Hospital, George V wrote: ' His name will live in history.' His name was Thomas Edward Lawrence , known to the world as Lawrence of Arabia.
In two programmes, Sir Anthony Nutting - a biographer of Lawrence - presents a reassessment of probably the most enigmatic character of the 20thcentury.
