from Thoresby Hall, Nottinghamshire
Of a winter's evening, in one of England's great mansions hard by Sherwood Forest, guests sip goblets of mead to songs of a past age - with the backing of 20th-century electronics. STEELEYE SPAN have taken medieval music into the charts and now armour and amplifiers stand side by side when they sing in the Great Hall at Thoresby.

HAROLD WILLIAMSON This week: Top Dog
No self-respecting dog would dream of missing Crufts.
And so it was that 7,877 of them, with their owners, came together at Olympia last month for the 78th show -and ' Burtonswood Bossy Boots,' the St Bernard, beat them all.
JOHN PITMAN was there, too, with a Man Alive film crew following the trail of owners and their dogs in the week leading up to the big show.
The ' doggy people ' - as they call themselves - are a mixed bag. There's a retired company director and his wife who live in a big house with Great Danes; two bachelors who breed Cavalier King Charles spaniels; a little lady with a big poodle; and a pretty teenager who, for the moment, prefers Afghans to boy-friends. But they all have one thing in common: an incredible love of dogs and dog shows. ' Other people think we must be mad,' says one. ' And I suppose we are.'
