Presented by Rene Cutforth
The Lucy Ring was probably the most effective espionage network of the Second World War. It was Russian and it operated in Switzerland. Through this network Stalin was told the date of the German invasion of Russia -- but he didn't believe it. Only after Hitler invaded, on the day Lucy said he would, did Stalin take notice and fight the war largely on the contents of Lucy's messages. But who was Lucy? Where did the flow of incredible top-secret German information come from? And what were the coding techniques used by the Russians to keep their information secret?

A personal view by Kenneth Clark
'Papal Rome - the Rome of Sixtus V - is the most grandiose piece of town planning ever attempted. The amazing thing is that it was done only a generation after Rome had been - as it seemed - completely humiliated, almost wiped off the map.'
Kenneth Clark is in the Rome of the Counter-Reformation - the Rome of Michelangelo and of Bernini. The Catholic Church in its fight against the Protestant north developed a new splendour symbolised by the glory of St Peter's.
