8.30 Research Report: 7: The Cartsberg Ridge
Eleven programmes looking into current research on the frontiers of science.
Under the world's oceans lie submarine mountain ranges thousands of miles in length. These strange mid-ocean ridges are associated with both earthquakes and volcanoes and interest in their significance is growing. A recent Cambridge expedition explored the northern section of a major ridge in the Indian Ocean.
9.0 Age of Adjustment: 2: Britain and Europe
Six programmes on British foreign policies from 1945 to the present day.
Introduced by Peter Calvocoressi, Member of the Council of the Royal Institute of International Affairs.
Britain has always felt separate from Europe in sentiment and interests. Despite post-war commitments to defend Western Europe, this feeling was not seriously shaken until Britain's application to join the Common Market in 1961. What reasons were advanced for the change of policy? Can we assess the political opportunities and/or the threats which the E.E.C. presents to Britain?
