"I tolerate the tombstones because they let me keep the hounds."
Since 1918 Harry Corr has been a reluctant monumental sculptor. For as long as he can remember he has been a passionate huntsman. In 1939 he formed his own pack, the Dungannon Harriers; and today, aged 73, he still walks many miles over the fields and hills of County Tyrone with them, hunting the fox.

Our greatest living archaeologist Sir Mortimer Wheeler returns to the screen in the first of two Chronicle films which take us on a journey through his extraordinary and eventful life.
Sir Mortimer has gained the highest honours in three separate roles: as archaeologist, soldier and popular television personality. Now, in his 83rd year, he takes Magnus Magnusson back to the landmarks in the first half of his life: from the Battle of Passchendaele in 1917 to the Battle of Maiden Castle, fought and lost by a British tribe almost 2,000 years ago.
