On 29 September 1829 the first Metropolitan policemen marched out of their station houses to patrol their beats on the streets of London. Sir Robert Peel's 'new policemen' - had arrived.
Dressed in swallow-tail coats and wearing hats specially reinforced so that they could stand on them if need be, they took up their duties with the stern injunction that 'there is no qualification so indispensable to a police officer as a perfect command of temper.'
Sir Robert Peel's principal object in setting up the force was the prevention of crime and so it remains to this day.
With the voices of retired police officers and those still serving, and with the help of Colonel David Ascoli, the official historian of the 'Met,' Margaret Howard examines the world of the men who have pounded the streets of London for the last 190 years.

1940. Barrage balloons, digging for victory, waiting for the call-up - there is a war on, but it scarcely affects the English notion of appropriate behaviour and property limited aspirations. 'You want some advice, mate? Next time, get born in the right bed.'

The National Trust, an independent charity, was established in 1895 to act as 'a corporation for the holding of lands of natural beauty and sites and houses of historic interest to be preserved in trust for the nation's use and enjoyment'.
John Jacob reports on the Trust's aims and achievements, and its increasing diversity. He makes a remarkable journey back into Jacobean times with the Young National Trust Theatre at Montague House, and enjoys the pleasures of a great 18th-century Fete Champetre, magically re-created in the gardens of Stourhead.
