Humphrey Carpenter invites famous people to nominate great lives for discussion. This week, author and screenwriter Frederic Raphael selects a controversial figure - part-man, part-myth - Alexanderthe Great. With the help of classical historian, Professor Tony Spawforth , a very modern Alexanderthe Great emerges: a leader who travelled with his own "press corps" of historians while conquering the known world. Producer Mark Smalley
