A series of 12 films from different parts of the UK which explore people's sense of identity. 3: Kelso Framed by the Tweed and Teviot rivers and the Border Hills, Kelso and its people nestle gently in the richness of the soil. Border feuds are remembered with a peacefulness which mirrors the quiet passage of their most famous of salmon rivers. Neither a quiet nor a busy place. Scottish but not Nationalist. Everything has its time, every person his place,

A series of 12 programmes Written and presented by Magnus Magnusson 6: The Philistines
The word ' Philistine ' has become a byword for materialism and boorishness - maybe unfairly. Tonight's programme charts the arrival of these vigorous People from the Sea - their early clashes with the Egyptians and their inevitable head-on collision with the Israelites in the 12th century BC. A new hero emerges - the mighty judge or leader, Samson. Bible reader Eric Porter

with A. J. P. Taylor
The fabric was cotton. The age - the great industrial explosion of the 19th century. Manchester was Cottonopolis - city of mills, machines and muck -the first working model of industrial capitalism.
A. J. p. TAYLOR , himself from a Lancashire cotton family, explores the rise and fall of this great merchant civilisation and assesses the importance of what really was ' Made in Manchester'.
