Third day: coverage up to the close of play direct from Edgbaston
'It's "dearly beloved brethren" on Sunday and confiscation of corn stacks on Monday,' warned a farmer's propaganda poster in the early 30s. It was a time when feelings ran high: hundreds of English farms withheld their tithes from the Church and the Law fought back.
In this programme, among those who tell of the battles and why they fought in the front line in East Anglia 40 years ago, 'being as obstructive as we could, within the law' are: Lady Eve Balfour, Mr and Mrs Roland Rash, Philip Butler and A.G. Mobbs

A series featuring a selection of BBCtv programmes viewers have particularly asked to see again.
Newspapers call Soho the 'square mile of vice.' Few tourists fail to visit it. Football supporters 'up for t'Cup' always seem to wind up there - in their cups.
But Soho is being tidied up, threatened with replanning. 'Miss Whiplash' will have to find new premises - so will some of the restaurants, theatres, strip clubs, discotheques. But still there will be newspapers in 15 languages; cheroots from Burma; samovars from Samarkand. It seems impossible to consider Soho in any other terms than the centre of the British film industry; the home of the London Orchestral Association; the meeting place of artists, sculptors, stunt men, wrestlers - and the stamping ground of Lord Longford's stern-minded committee. Soho is a place of character - full of characters.
Frank Norman wrote a book about it. Harold Williamson, a Tynesider, has come to know and love it. Charlie Squires has always been fascinated by it. Now they have been there together.

Julia has found in her hasty wartime marriage neither love, companionship, nor the romance her temperament craves. Enter Leonard Carr, seven years her junior, on whom she can project the image of a romantic love.
A series of seven films about aspects of their past made by seven European countries.
This film, made by Swiss Television, examines the changing role of the Alps in the European imagination. From being a barrier between north and south, the Alps became the subject of scientific enquiry and then of Romantic fascination.
Today they attract millions of tourists every year and there is a danger that the requirements of tourism will eventually destroy even the mountains themselves.
