by Rhys Adrian.
A comedy set in a park
with Peter Vaughan as Edward, James Grout as Jack, Elizabeth Spriggs as Mrs Hendrix, William Fox as Mr Hendrix and Michael Graham Cox as the Copper.

As autumn changes to winter 'the cuts' as well as the weather bite deeper. But for the reduced park-keeper staff, only vigilant in their efforts not to help the public, life in their hut grows warmer - and more convivial.

The last few years have seen a dramatic change in Britain's national press: new proprietors, new technology, new titles and even new printing houses away from Fleet Street. Of the old-style owners, only Lord
Rothermere remains (as boss of Associated Newspapers) and the new press barons are men with a conglomeration of financial and business interests. In this series of five conversations, Gordon Clough seeks to determine just how much influence today's proprietors have on the papers they own and on their readers.

Footprints through Avebury by MICHAEL PITTS
Avebury is a haunting place to see at all times and in all weather, but most impressive of all on a still moonlit night, when it seems to be peopled with ghosts and the old church and cottages of the village seem quite new and insignificant. (SIR JOHN BETJEMAN) In this Origins special,
June Barrie and Malcolm Billings tell the story of the sarsen slabs that prised their way into a village community in Wiltshire and of an ancient people who left their footprints in the passage of time.
