'It's less easy to categorise spin than it is pace-bowling. Spin is fundamentally of two kinds. The first is finger spin, off two fingers, which is controllable. The other is wrist spin when the ball is let out of the side or the back of the hand with an unnatural twist. That's not so easily controllable ...'

A series of six programmes in connection with the current Exhibition of Gold and Silver at the British Museum.
The riches of the Romans spread beyond the frontiers to benefit their enemies. It was an unstable world between AD 300 and 700, for people were continually on the move, so that the Empire had to absorb its old adversaries to combat the new.

A Yesterday's Witness series of six programmes with women of the First World War. 4: Three VADs
Members of the Voluntary Aid Detachments - VADs-elegant, volunteer, amateur nurses who knew little more than how to roll bandages, were suddenly faced with the full reality of war as the first ambulance trains arrived from the front.
'There we were, plunged into the hospital and we were worked off our feet. Life seemed to be divided between work and sleep ... '. It wasn't all work and no play, though play was strictly limited. 'There was an edict that no VAD must go out with anybody male -unless there was a chaperone. You mustn't go to a dance, you mustn't do this, you mustn't do that ...'
In this programme three VADs tell their story of that war and how ' nothing was ever to be the same again '.
