Earlier this summer the Queen Mother opened a museum on the banks of the Tyne, dedicated to the life and work of Thomas Bewick , an artist whose delicate engravings of the richness of nature around him in his native North East give him a place as one of the great masters in British art history.
Paul Allen talks to some of those involved in establishing the museum on the site of Bewick's house and workshop at Cherryburn.

Tinniswood's Olympics The Seoul Olympics are abandoned when
David Coleman declares himself unfit to take his place in the commentary box. So we must give thanks that some weeks ago at Witney Scrotum, with triumph and exultation, the 1988 Alternative Olympics were presented.
Peter Tinniswood bribed the nice lady from the BBC Sound Archives with a box of pontefract cakes and she has kindly put at his disposal some recordings made of this momentous occasion.
