In a new series of six programmes
Kenneth Hudson looks at the way we view history 1: The Landscape
The British landscape is like a book printed on transparent pages. You turn one page and something that's gone before shines through. It's a composite of many different ages; each one had added its little bit to the picture.
But the latest chapter in the story is of almost unrestrained destruction; we are in danger of obliterating much of the heritage it has taken us so long to acquire. How can we adapt and use our rural and urban landscape without damaging our inheritance?

And, with the prolonged drought in Africa affecting over-wintering bird migrants we ask - will the birds return?

When Norway was invaded by Nazi Germany in 1940 there was a brief period of understandable confusion among the population: but this was soon replaced by active resistance by many and passive resistance, at least, by most.
Murdoch McPherson presents this story of Norwegian Resistance that was typified, early on, when thousands of people wore paper clips in their lapels as a symbol of their hatred and rejection of this oppressive occupation. Producer
