Six documentaries by Lord
Rawlinson about the political influence of the Jesuits t 2: The Kingdom of God on Earth 1 We cannot say that the poor should accept their poverty and then hope for heaven. Heaven has to begin here.

Extracts from
The Compleat Angler by IZAAK WALTON adapted by ROBERT RALPH
Read by Michael Hordern
'No life so happy and so pleasant as the life of a well-governed angler; for when the lawyer is swallowed up with business, and the statesman is preventing or contriving plots, then we sit on cowslip-banks, hear the birds sing, and possess ourselves in as much quietness as the silent silver stream, gliding so quietly by us.'
Music by TERRY DAVIS
Played by ROBIN JEFFREY
