A mile up the road from Euston Station, there's an Irish church where on St Patrick's night a packed congregation hear the mass in Irish, there are Irish pubs with Irish music, Irishmen who talk together in their own language and send their wages home to their families in Connemara. and many fanatical football followers who support the Irish stars of Arsenal. An island of Irishness in the heart of London.

This year Top Gear cameras followed the fortunes - and misfortunes - of the Ian Bracey entry, the Ibec-Hesketh 308LM, from the moment when it made its debut at Donnington Park and then throughout the 24-hours-race, until the final climax.

10: The Wolf on the Fold
' The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold, and his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold' - Byron's image of the dreaded Assyrian hordes.
Around 750 BC, this new superpower swooped on the lands to the west, smashing the kingdom of Israel and terrorising the southern kingdom of Judah. King Hezekiah of Judah built a tunnel under the walls of his capital, Jerusalem, to provide a secure water-supply for the beleaguered citizens. The thwarted Assyrian army destroyed a neighbouring city - Lachish, commemorating their triumph in a series of graphic stone reliefs in their palace at Ninevah.
Tonight MAGNUS MAGNUSSON goes to Ninevah (in present-day Iraq) to examine the rise of Assyrian power.

Seven girls, all determined to do their bit for Britain, meet in a train on their way to an ATS training camp. Their peace-time ways of life were very different and so, predictably, are their reactions to their new, war-time routine. Director Leslie Howard filmed this multi-faceted story against a background of real ATS personnel getting on with the job, in a subtle combination of fiction and documentary realism.
