Presented by Angela Rippon What Price Beauty?
The Lake District is Britain's largest and most popular National Park but, like the other nine such parks in England and Wales, it is neither owned by the nation nor set aside solely for our leisure.
In a country house overlooking the picturesque lake at Grasmere ANGELA RIPPON is joined by Phil Drabble and Richard Mabey to meet some of the local people who live and work in the Lake District Park and to look at ways in which
Wordsworth's cherished landscape might survive to delight future generations.

' Playing early Mozart is, in a way, like restoring a great painting; it's a process of rediscovery. Since he died nearly 200 years ago, Mozart's music has suffered as each new generation applied yet another layer of musical grime. Styles of performance have changed; so have many of the instruments themselves. What we're doing is getting underneath those coats of grime and trying to reveal Mozart in his true colours.'
Christopher Hogwood demonstrates the style of performance and the Rococo instruments which Mozart himself would have expected. with THE ACADEMY OF ANCIENT MUSIC and Jaap Schroeder (violin)
