Introduced by Phil Drabble with Eric Halsall Heat 2: England

2: Bolt from the Blue
The ship was the true symbol and spirit of the Vikings: nothing has yet surpassed the elegance of its lines, disguising its power and versatility. The Vikings' mastery of all the seafaring arts gave them the instrument not only of terror but of trade and colonisation.
Magnus Magnusson describes this ' bolt from the blue' with Colin Blakely

A series of eight programmes 2:Cons
How do those labelled by society as criminals preserve their identity, their individuality, when prison dehumanises men with uniforms, numbers, and regimentation? There is no association, no evening classes, and the workshops are seldom open. Over a thousand adult prisoners are locked up every day-many hundreds three to a cell. Imprisonment also has a strong impact on the families outside. Tonight some of Strangeways' ' cons' talk about prison life and attitudes to crime.
But even with all the restrictions, it is possible to find extraordinary ways to break the monotony.
Film editor ANDREW WILLSMORE Producer REX BLOOMSTEIN
