Episodes in the history of diplomacy written and introduced by Derek Wilson

Throughout history diplomats have been regarded as 'honest men sent to lie abroad for the good of their country', to coin a celebrated phrase from the 16th century. But diplomats have been many things, undertaken many functions. This series looks at six aspects of diplomacy, starting with the use of ambassadorial powers for espionage and intrigue, especially by Spanish envoys to the court of Elizabeth I.
With the voices of BERNARD BROWN, MICHAEL JENNER, LINDA POLAN, DAVID SINCLAIR and JAMES SNELL

Turner in Wales - Aspects of Landscapes
In 1792 when he was 17, the painter J. M. W. Turner first visited Wales. In the next six years he made four more visits -and then, although he lived until 1851, never returned. The paintings from these tours are being shown at an exhibition at the Mostyn Gallery, Llandudno. But what of the country that inspired those works? The programme looks at four paintings and asks how other travellers in Wales, then and now, have reacted to those 'aspects of landscapes'. Compiled and produced by SIAN LLOYD
