Anthony Minghella's tender and comic account of a provincial Easter 600 years ago. The citizens of York are preparing to perform the Mystery Cycle before Richard II and his long-suffering queen, Anne of Bohemia. The royal visit is cause for anxiety, civic pride and very hard work, but above all, it prompts the York guildsmen to aim for the best performance of the Passion play ever seen.

The bloodshed and heartache of the Spanish Civil War has often been glossed over, with many people thinking it was a war for artists and poets. This programme speaks with two people who witnessed the agony - one a nurse from east London and the other a soldier who fought for
Franco. Their stories are told by actor Alfred Molina , whose father was a refugee from the Spanish Civil War, and complemented and contrasted by poems, readings, music and news reports from the era. Producer Mark Palmer
