Story: "Milly-Molly-Mandy makes a Garden" by Joyce Lankester Brisley
Told by Anne Cunningham

with Richard Whitmore; Weather

The Great Boer War, 1899-1902 recalled by the men who fought it

Seventy years after the last shots were fired Boer and British veterans of the South African War relive the extraordinary atmosphere of that time - a heady compound of stern duty, sentimental patriotism and a curiously innocent militarism.
For Kenneth Griffith - who has written and narrated these programmes - the Boer War has been a passionate interest for many years. His interviews with the veterans, together with songs, cartoons and photos of the time, evoke the vivid and moving story of a war that left wounds which have yet to be healed.

The second of a new series looking at Britain's industrial heritage - the richest legacy in Europe of monuments of the Industrial Revolution. A Grand Tour of memorials not to statesmen and soldiers but to the skills and labours of ordinary men whose work gave Britain the title of 'the workshop of the world.'
Sticklepath, a tiny hamlet in Devon, is the unlikely home of the unique survival of a once common feature of early industrial England - a complete water-driven forge foundry which served all the special needs of a local community.

Starring Vlastimil Brodsky

The second of six films in our summer selection comes from Czechoslovakia. It is a delightful blend of realism and silent comedy conventions and brings a freshness to this hilarious comedy about a man who cannot say no to women.

The man in question is played by Vlastimil Brodsky, star of Jiri Menzel's Closely Observed Trains. His dead-pan earnestness bears a marked resemblance to that of Buster Keaton.
