Let's Speak Welsh
The York 2,000 Group was formed to fight the Corporation's plans to build an inner ring-road for the city. Its members await a public enquiry's verdict. Michael Dean learns how they presented their case and examines the implication for city planning.
Ever since 1802 when Napoleon was presented with the plans for a candlelit carriageway under the Channel, the tunnel project has been talked about, dreamt of, disputed, ridiculed and, mainly from our side -mistrusted. At the time when Paris and London are once again discussing the question, French TV looks back on the incredible story of an idea which has survived over 150 years.
'The past is important,' the French reporter says, 'as only then can one understand the deep-rooted reservations the British have towards this kind of link with the continent.'

Another chance to see this personal view by J. Bronowski
Dr Bronowski begins the second programme with the Long Spring at the end of the Ice Age. As the ice retreats and the land flowers, Man the hunter turns to agriculture, domesticating plant and animal, imposing his will on the wild wheat and the horse. In the bitter conflict between the settled farmer and the mounted warrior, Dr Bronowski discovers the intellectual roots of war, and shows how even the descendants of the mightiest warrior of all, Ghengis Khan, were compelled to settle.

Television coverage yesterday of the Royal Wedding represented the biggest outside broadcast operation British television has ever mounted. During the 'rehearsal' on Tuesday and early on the day of the wedding, Real Time observed the cameras, directors, commentators and engineers in Westminster Abbey, along the procession route and in a studio at Television Centre which was the nerve-centre for the whole operation.
