A 13-part personal history of the United States written and narrated by Alistair Cooke ,
11: The Promise Fulfilled and the Promise Broken
Alistair Cooke journeys from the era of wonderful nonsense to the depression.
The British, or at least the English, have always taken a supercilious we know best' attitude. Cooke takes that same overbearing and omniscient attitude. It mars a series that would otherwise be superlative.
(WORCESTER, MASSACHUSETTS, GAZETTE)
'America' has substance, the weight of research and thought, and it has a point of view It is history masterfully related. And it is excellent television. (SAN DIEGO UNION) Cooke doesn't have any personal viewpoint or any personal vision. (TIME OUT) Directed by DAVID HEYCOCK
Produced by MICHAEL gill

The second in a series about six remarkable women, all born around 1900, in an age when it was difficult for them to fulfil their talents.

Naomi Mitchison interviewed by Leonie Caldecott
Naomi Mitchison has written over 80 books, as well as poems, plays and articles. Her literary output has been phenomenal, and controversial. In the 30s and 40s she was well ahead of her time, writing from the women's point of view about life and love. She was involved in the early struggle for birth control. She has also been a farmer who only gave up driving a tractor when she was 80, and owns a Scottish fishing trawler.
Naomi Mitchison is the mother of five and is also honorary mother of an African tribe which she visits every year. She talks about her full life.
