Bali and the Flames of Death Narrator JOHN SHRAPNEL
On 31 January this year the small town of Ubud in Bali cremated their last prince, Agong.
Tjokorda Agong Sukawati - a much-loved and renowned prince of Bali - died in July last year. His cremation date had to be arranged by complicated astrological prediction.
Afterwards even the old men agreed that it had been the most impressive cremation they had seen; the height of the tower in which the body was carried, the beauty of the huge mythological carved creatures in which the body was burnt and the number and Importance of guests invited was Unprecedented. There will probably never be another like it.

Written and narrated by JOHN READ According to ancient Aboriginal legend Australia was ' the land of our dreaming'. Boyd was born in Melbourne in 1920. Since then half his life has been spent in Australia and half in England. He has one studio in Suffolk and another in New South Wales. His forceful paintings are inspired by both nature and mythology and-comment on conditions of human isolation that are universal.
' You do get the feeling that when they talk about going to the bush that there's something that's not quite nice about it - you can go for picnics and things hut it's always a bit dicey.'
