Although oratory is generally assumed to be dying, dead or irrelevant to the new technologies of communication, in fact hundreds of people are making speeches every day of the week. With politicians, lawyers, fathers-of-the-bride and aspiring after-dinner speakers, Britain can seem a Babel of public talk, some of which is oratory. Melvyn Bragg examines the state of the art.
In the first of five programmes, The Rt Hon Enoch Powell
Lord Jenkins of Hillhead and The Rt Hon Michael Foot , mp are among those who compare the parliamentarians of today with the giants of the past.

When they put a bomb in the theatre I knew they were serious -so I left Argentina.
After eight years in exile, Nacha returned to Buenos Aires. made a triumphant appearance in the musical Eva, and became a star. She talks of her career as an actress and singer, the close and often dangerous connection between art and politics in Buenos Aires and her latest venture - directing and acting in Cabaret.
Friends and critics comment on her talent - 'she can be a witch, a lady, an urchin, a clown - anything she chooses'; and her character - 'anyone who can be a vegetarian in Argentina must be a rebel'.
