What was it like to live in Germany in the 20s and 30s? What were the effects of economic crises, rearmament and the Second World War on Germans? What opposition was there to the Nazi regime? This programme uses archive film and photographs to look closely at one city in this period.

A Question of Loyalty
After the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, there was a period of unprecedented disruption for the 100,000 Japanese Americans living on the West Coast of America. For despite the fact that many of them were American citizens, the United States Government felt uncertain whether their loyalty to their adopted country could be counted on in the event of a Japanese invasion. So they were moved into ten huge internment camps. The first hurriedly built camp was at a desolate place called Manzanar, 250 miles from Los Angeles. In this programme seven of the Manzanar internees tell their story.

Cambridge
This week Paul Gambaccini and Fran Morrison visit the Cambridge Festival.
This beautiful university city is the perfect setting for a varied and exciting festival.
At the Arts Theatre the Cambridge Theatre Company presents The Servant of Two Masters, an Italian spectacle starring Patrick Mower and Elizabeth Estensen. The Cambridge Opera Group performs BRITTEN'S Burning Fiery Furnace by candlelight in nearby Ely Cathedral. In the Fitzwilliam Museum Christopher Hogwood plays pieces from the museum's celebrated collection of early music manuscripts on the harpsichord. And after a nine-year break the folk group Pentangle are coming together again specially for the Cambridge Folk Festival. We talk to them as they rehearse in Suffolk.
These artists and many more give a flavour of the enjoyment and talent to be found in towns and cities all over Britain during the summer months.
