90/90. What Happened Next? Britain was the only power ever to have given up its empire voluntarily. One of the great symbols of the end of Empire is now seen to have been Harold Macmillan 's "wind of change" speech in South Africa in 1960, but some less well-known aspects of that speech could almost have been written hundreds of years earlier, when the possibilities of Empire were just beginning to be recognised. By Christopher Lee. Readings by Joss Ackland and Anna Massey. For further details see Monday

In 1972 Bobby Fischer, the enfant terrible of the chess world, challenged Boris Spassky for the world championship. The tantrums, double-dealing and paranoia displayed as America challenged the Soviet Union in Reykjavik that summer made the match more like scenes from Alice through the Looking-Glass than a sporting contest. A comedy by Steve May.
