Six programmes in which Kenneth Hudson looks at the way we view history.
Originally a term of abuse, the word 'Tory' dates back to the 17th century. By the 1830s Sir Robert Peel was anxious to adopt a new name for his party since 'Tory' was associated with a barren, reactionary, backward-looking attitude. The word they chose was 'Conservative' and we still use it today. But how different was the Conservatism of Peel and Disraeli to that of their modern counterparts? Producer JOHN KNIGHT BBC Bristol

For the next 13 weeks, a current issue is 'sounded out' for its moral and religious implications.
The series begins with an extended interview with His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales who is the President of The Royal Jubilee Trusts and The
Prince's Trust. His Royal Highness spends much of his time promoting the trusts' work among young people in the inner cities. Ted Harrison has been to London and Glasgow taking 'soundings' and The Prince of Wales responds to the comments of, among others, lonely students and jobless teenagers; and in doing so, outlines his own religious faith.
