Forced to kill in self-defence, Alice White becomes the victim of an unscrupulous blackmailer. Her troubles are compounded when the Scotland Yard detective assigned to the murder case, is Frank Webber , her fiance.
Begun as a silent, Blackmail ended up as Britain's first talkie with some striking experiments in sound, particularly in the famous knife sequence. Though Czechoslovakian Anny Ondra plays the lead, her lines were delivered, on set and out of camera range, by British actress Joan Barry.

The 200th anniversary of the birth of Sir Richard Arkwright , inventor of the spinning jenny, has been commemorated with a set of postage stamps. There were some special technical problems to be overcome as this was an unusual stamp issue. Instead of commissioning original designs, as is normal, actual textile patterns representing various periods were used.

'All my criticism of modern art can be reduced to a single word: filth '. When he died in 1978 de Chirico was already a legend. He'd been an inspiration to the Surrealist movement in painting - one of the great names of 20th-century art.
His strange, dream-like city squares, his ' metaphysical interiors ', his part-human, part-mechanical 'mannequins', created an unforgettable world immediately recognisable as his.
The film includes the last interview recorded before his death, in which he talks about his life, his work and what he regards as the disaster of modern art.

A series of 13 programmes, written and presented by Robert Kee 7: Ulster Will Fight
In 1914, in the climax of 30 years of opposition to the idea of home rule, Sir Edward Carson , the leader of the Ulster Unionists, brought the United Kingdom to the verge of civil war in defiance of a Home Rule Act that would have put Ulster under an Irish national parliament in Dublin. The Unionists took as their slogan ' Ulster will fight and Ulster will be right'.
As Irish nationalist feeling revived, opponents and supporters of Home Rule both ran guns into Ireland. Conflict was only averted by the outbreak of the Great War.
