by Ray Gosling 3: Morecambe
' Seaside towns are always fearing the future-that the next trainload of trippers will be blind drunk, fighting fit and impecunious, or that sweet old lady will wet the bed, or that charabanc of Rotarian wives will turn out to be teetotal weightwatchers, interested in ornithology. Make hay while the sun shines, the weather can change - as Morecambe knows better than most.'

by DESMOND KING-HELE Narrator Peter Jeffrey Freddie Jones as Erasmus Darwin and the voices of GEOFFREY MATTHEWS , ROGER HUME and STEPHEN HANCOCK
In the latter part of the 18th century, a group of men met regularly in or around Birmingham on the night of a full moon. They were perhaps some of the most brilliant inventive minds that Britain has ever produced. They included Erasmus Darwin, Josiah Wedgwood , James Watt and Matthew Boul ton. Their collective concentration of genius was given the light-hearted name of ' The Lunar Society ' and its members declared themselves Lunaticks. There is no doubt that they were the fathers of the Industrial Revolution and indeed of all modern technology. Producer ROGER PINE BBC Birmingham followed by an interlude
