One year in Heddington, Wiltshire. A documentary serial in eight parts. 3 : ... And a Stormy New Year
January comes in like a lion, and the old oak by the T-junction becomes unsafe. It has to be felled. But by a slight error it falls on the power cables and farmer Tyler has no electricity at milking time. There's a passionate row at the Village Hall over who should be caretaker. There's bad news on the selling of the Elizabethan flagon, which will raise enough at auction to save the church roof. The Chancellor of the Diocese has referred the matter to a Consistory Court. It means delays, and a greater risk that permission to sell may be withheld.

Introduced by Robert Robinson
In John Hillaby 's first book Journey through Britain he established himself as one of the best-selling travel writers, and in his new book, Journey through Love, he writes about some of his favourite walks in Britain, and about the most difficult ordeal of his life -the long American walk he took to help overcome the despair he suffered after the death of his wife Tilly. He talks of his love of walking and the people and places he has written about.
Also this week, a look at the work of Kingsley Amis - from the angry 50s of Lucky Jim to the strangely re-ordered contemporary world of his new novel The Alteration.

Fourteen show-stopping songs by Cole Porter made Kiss Me Kate a Broadway hit for over two years.

All is well until they discover that it is an updated version of The Taming of The Shrew and their suitability for the roles of Katherine and Bianca is all too obvious.
Based on the play bySAMUEL SPEWACK and BELLA SPEWACK
