The Great Boer War, 1899-1902 recalled by the men who fought it
Written and narrated by Kenneth Griffith

Twenty thousand Boers against a British Army of nearly 500,000 - the eventual outcome of the war was inevitable. But before the harsh peace terms were finally signed there were many months of bitter guerrilla fighting.
In this final programme Boer and British veterans relive those days 70 years ago, and wonder: 'Who really won the war?'

A series of ten programmes
with Neil Cossons

A series looking at Britain's industrial heritage - the richest legacy in Europe of monuments of the Industrial Revolution.
In the midst of a Derbyshire limestone quarry once owned and operated by the great rail engineer George Stephenson, a once familiar feature of British industrial cities has been brought back to life. Before the age of the motor car the electric tram car ruled the road and now does so again at Crich.
