From Newcastle upon Tyne 7: The Singer's Tale
Val Lambert has got the sort of voice that anyone who has ever been in a workingmen's club will instantly recognise. It's a voice that depends for its effect not just on the power of the vocal chords but on the experiences that inform her songs. Val shares with her audiences at Saltwell Social Club a knowledge of Tyneside's good and bad days both in the past and present.

Death- of the Dinosaurs
One of the greatest mysteries of all time occurred 65 million years ago. There was a mass extinction of life. Three-quarters of all known species living on the earth were wiped out. Perhaps the best-known of all the animals that disappeared in this catastrophe were the dinosaurs. Had they survived it is possible that we human beings would never have evolved. What caused these extinctions has long puzzled scientists. Recently, however, a theory has been proposed that may begin to account for them. It suggests that the killer came from space.
