Ronald Pickup gives the fourth of six talks introducing the first season of Shakespeare's plays on BBC2 Julius Caesar
' I've never believed that Shakespeare has to be dragged by the scruff of his neck into the 20th century, presenting, let us say. Julius Caesar as a Hitler" figure and everybody else around him in jackboots. Julius Caesar is certainly a play about power-politics, but bound up with that is a strong moral sense.'

with Peter Wickham and Heather Bell

Grapenose Point is a small peninsula in northern Scotland. The causeway to the mainland is under water most of the day. The inhabitants are proud of their isolation and independence, which now seems threatened by oil rigs. This threat reawakens the centuries-old protectors of the island - the wolves of Grapenose Point.
