Six programmes 3: Witches
The witch has always been a popular figure with story-tellers. Why did belief in them cause such panic and distress in the Middle Ages? And where does the image of the ugly old hag in a pointed hat come from?
Toni Arthur considers a selection of folktales which show how society created a scapegoat, then turned it into a myth.

A Sense of Touch by E. L. SUMMERS with and Mammon and Satan seem much in residence when The Rev Gareth Oldys comes to take up his first living on St Thomas's island off the Cornish coast. Modern materialism and traditional law-breaking go hand in hand in this remote community and to combat their worst effects, Gareth has only one God-given talent which he fears to use until he comes to understand himself and have faith in the wisdom of others.

John Laffin and his wife, Hazelle, came to this country from Australia 25 years ago.
Both came from families with a strong military tradition and served in the Pacific in World War II, John as a soldier and Hazelle as a nurse. Later, John became a military historian and author with the help and encouragement of Hazelle, who assumed the role of ' Girt Friday '.
Both the Laffins feel much compassion for the soldiers of two eras who sacrificed their tomorrow for our today.
In Back to the Battlefields they explain how they keep an act of faith with the servicemen of both world wars year after year, and why we should remember their sacrifice on Armistice Sunday. Written by JOHN LAFFIN AND HAZELLE LAFFIN Readers JENNY KEE
