Four programmes in which Patrick O'Connor celebrates the legacy of the music hall.

Have our attitudes to love, marriage and divorce changed since the music hall's Victorian heyday?
Lovers' quarrels, mother-in-law troubles and making the best of an ill match are still the stock-in-trade of many contemporary comics. Lucie Skeaping and Tim Laycock sing surprisingly topical songs from the 1890s, accompanied by Kevin Amos, Hilary Sturt and Robin Jeffrey. And novelist Paul Bailey relives his childhood visits to the halls where stars like Kate Carney still shone undimmed.
