A Rebel Remembers
It's 50 years since the House of Commons at last surrendered and finally gave women the vote.
Connie Lewcock played a major part in securing that victory. Her safe and secure Lincolnshire childhood had within it the seeds of her later rebellion and her activities as a militant suffragette.
Now in her 80s, and still politically active, CONNIE LEWCOCK looks back on her life and on the suffragettes' struggles.

Explorations in new and original research.
The Grime's Graves Experiment
Forty feet below ground, in the breckland of Norfolk, lies a monument as remarkable as Stonehenge to the abilities of Neolithic man - the flint mines of Grime's Graves. How did the miners of 4,000 years ago produce these complex subterranean workings - perhaps the most extensive yet discovered?
Are they the earliest evidence of some kind of industrial organisation? Were the men who dug them, in effect, professional miners?
Using the techniques of experimental archaeology, Gale Sieve -king, Deputy Keeper of Prehistoric and Romano-British Antiquities in the British Museum, tests the underground evidence.
