2: George. St George is often seen in a romanticised light as a handsome hero on a horse, slaying dragons with his lance and rescuing damsels in distress. Sadly, it now seems unlikely that George ever existed. But that did not stop him becoming adopted by the English as their patron saint. During the First
Crusade, Richard I placed himself and his army under the protection of the former soldier and carried his sacred banner - a red cross on a white background - into battle. Music includes:
Walton Agincourt Song (Suite: Henry V) London Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra, conductor Carl Davis

Medieval music, Mongolian chant, and sitar are but three of the many ingredients poured into Tan Dan 's opera Marco Polo. Richard Coles discusses the work as it gets its UK premiere and asks why the story of Marco Polo still has a resonance in the West's relationship with China today. And 20 years after its first performance, Harold Pinter 's Betrayal is seen as one of the landmark plays of our time. Richard Coles discusses Trevor Nunn 's new production, which opens tonight at the Royal National Theatre. Producer Robyn Reade
