The history programme that brings the past up to date, introduced by John Tusa.
In this edition How do you Democratise a Nazi? On the 50th anniversary of Hitler's elevation to the chancellorship of the Third Reich Simon Winchester reports from Washington and Nuremberg on how America in 1945 tried to remake a nation in its own image through a process of forced re-education.
The Venerable Bede-Britain's first historian. Who was he? Where and how did he live? Why is he so important? The story of a remarkable man who, over a thousand years ago, could have travelled from Northumbria to Rome.
And The Levellers - three months ago in Putney church Michael Foot and other members of the Labour Party associated themselves with the men of the ' New Model Army' who spoke there 300 years before. Who were these men who, in their radicalism, saw Cromwell as the modern equivalent of establishment and right wing? How does the philosophy of these Levellers find echoes in the Labour Party today?

The third of six programmes Harold Williamson revisits The Survivors of Salford
Rain seeped through the roofs; there were holes in the ceilings, no flushing lavatories, no hot water. And damp was everywhere. That was in 1974, when Salford Council, failing to make repairs, told Its tenants in Lower Broughton that they would be re-housed, but not for at least four years.
The tenants went to law. Their action reached the House of Lords, which ordered repairs. The Council pulled the houses down. The tenants were rehoused.
Today, eight years later, Harold Williamson finds that the new housing has brought new problems. They are problems familiar to almost all communities which have been uprooted from their old, familiar neighbourhood ...
