Another series of the programme that links past and present. George VI "passed peacefully away in his sleep" 40 years ago. Princess Elizabeth was told of her father's death while she was at the royal hunting lodge near Kyeri in Kenya. The newspapers heralded "a new Elizabethan Age", but they would have done well to have consulted their history books. David Starkey recalls the troubled days of the first
Elizabeth, and Sean Street remembers the events of the first year of the reign of Elizabeth II.
