Not all craftsmen are old men. Adrian Hodgson is 33 and specialises in the removal and restoration of timber-framed houses.
Whether he's carving an elaborate chair leg or restoring a half-timbered church, he has the same sensitive approach as craftsmen of another age.

The international singing star in the fourth programme of a new series
with The Athenians
and special guests Tom Paxton, Vicky Leandros and Calchakis
says Spike Milligan
A series of highly personal films
Spike Milligan is a very funny serious man and a very serious funny man. For him life's problem is to tiptoe through the chaos he sees around himself. When it all becomes too much for him he retreats to a tiny workroom in Bayswater.
Most of this film was made in that room, sallying out to face the world when the mood took him. And it took him to some unexpected places, looking for, among other things, a doughnut, a blind bird and buried treasure in the Thames.
A programme with a point of view.
In tonight's programme John Theocharis introduces a conversation between Helen Vlachos, Greek newspaper editor, and her fellow expatriate, the composer Mikis Theodorakis.
