The Man Behind the Mask
The first of a series of 13 Chronicle films.
The rags-to-riches life story of German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann was as glamorous as the magnificent treasures he discovered at Troy and Mycenae. The wonders of his exploits in Turkey and Greece are so strong a part of archaeological folklore that they are still repeated by scholars exactly as Schliemann wrote them down 100 years ago. But those stories are about to change for ever. For when two American professors took a new look at the life of Schliemann they were staggered by their discoveries, particularly since their investigation even calls into question the discovery of ' The Treasure of King Priam ' at Troy - scene of Schliemann's greatest triumph.

Jent Barnett presents the self-help show. She shows one-parent families on Tyneside making efforts to solve their housing problems; and she asks if doing your thing on radio is enough. Why not run the radio with your neighbours in the local community? And there's more self-help with mothers in Northern Ireland.
