In Typhoid Mary by SHIRLEY GEE
' Look at my hands. Are they any different from yours? Eight fingers, two thumbs. No strange marks on the backs of my hands, no devil's kiss, none on the palms. No spreadingstains-see-little crosses - they mean something. I can't remember what. Lines of my heart, my head, my luck, my life - quite long, my life. And here's my destiny. Fate has something up her sleeve for all of us, but she's a very special trick for me.'

Whichever way you turn this curse of class difference confronts you like a wall of stone
When George Orwell wrote about Britain in the 1930s he saw the class system as an impediment to social progress. Half a century on, Graham Turner examines some contemporary attitudes to see where the barriers now stand and how they affect our performance in social and economic terms.
This, the first of six programmes, tries to define class and to find out why it exists.
