Towards the end of 1933, Elgar fell ill and was taken into a nursing home in Worcester. Many thought he would never recover, but on New Year's Day, 1934, he was declared well enough to return home.

Then his daughter Carice and his friend Fred Gaisberg devised a plan: "Ignorant, biased prudes tried to knock out the idea as being morbid and scandalous. I only know it gave Elgar two full weeks of diversion and anticipation." Malcolm Ruthven explains in the last of eight programmes.

Handel's opera live from the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, in the new production by Stephen Wadsworth. Sung in Italian.
The animals, plants, rocks and waves of Alcina's enchanted island were once her human lovers: when she grew tired of them, she imprisoned them by her spells. But has she met her match in her latest conquest, Ruggiero, and his fiancee Bradamante?

7.55 Mr Severs of Folgate Street, E
In a side street in London's Spitalfields lives Dennis Severs of 18, Folgate Street. Inside, as Michael Oliver found out, you step back in time through different centuries. There are no electric lights, no gas fires. In a room furnished and victualled for the 18th century, Handel would have felt quite at home.

"George Frederick Handel, you are charged with having bewitched us for 20 years." Michael Oliver introduces some of Handel's London friends as they enjoy the music and company of this "portly and humorous man".
