A 13-part series
11: Into the Pacific
During the First World War,
Australia was bitterly divided by the conscription issue: Empire loyalists versus
Republicans of Irish extraction. In the Second World War,
Britain was unable to defend Australia from Japanese expansion and instead,
Australians had to look to America for help.

The story of the Aldermaston Marches
... If we in NATO are attacked, we use nuclear weapons in our defence. The proviso is that the politicians have to be asked first. That might be a bit awkward, so personally I would use nuclear weapons first and ask afterwards....
LORD MONTGOMERY
(Deputy Supreme Allied
Commander NATO, 1956)
On Good Friday 1958, the first anti-nuclear march shuffled out of Trafalgar Square, heading for the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment at Aldermaston. A high-minded moral protest which mixed duffle-coated students with Quakers, pacifists and the great and the good in sensible shoes, it set the pattern for protest rituals which characterised the British Easter during the 1960s. But did anyone in authority hear the chants of 'Ban the bomb'.. ? Compiled and produced by ALISTAIRWILSON BBC Manchester

B-roads to discover the wealth of ways in which people talk about their lives, their landscape and their local language.
1: Late Nights and Twopenny Ices - the London Divide 'In my boyhood, talking
Cockney meant talking badly. One of the reasons why
Cockney speech has changed is simply that educationalists ever since the 1870s have been dedicated to stamping it out....' Researcher BOB BARLTROP
