In the last programme of the series Arthur Negus visits the family home of the Marquess of Bath. In one of the six splendid libraries Arthur is joined by Hilary Kay to enjoy not just the fine and rare books, but some exceptional library furniture and a marvellous collection of early scientific instruments. Another highlight is the magnificent barrel organ made around 1790 and capable of playing six tunes.

4: Back to Life
The hull of the Mary Rose was raised on 11 October 1982.
Now the flagship of Henry VIII rests in dry dock-'dry' apart from the constant spray of water that's poured on the timbers to keep them from drying out and breaking.
In this fourth report Chronicle re-examines the hull and talks to the research groups advising on conservation, reconstruction and display. It also looks at the work being done on the ship's artefacts: the boots and jerkins worn by the men, the tools and weapons they used, the bones of the cattle they ate and (prior to their interment this summer) at their own bones, which provide remarkable information about their age, strength and state of health.
The Mary Rose excavation is unique not least because so much has survived under water that would have decayed on land. Perhaps the most remarkable work is being done on the sludge contained in bottles and chests. This has produced straw, grape skins, seeds and even Tudor fleas - proof that the flea comb found in a sailor's jerkin was a necessary item for a comfortable life on board.

The 1984 Formula One World Championship Dutch Grand Prix
If the wind blows on race day in Zandvoort this seaside track can be covered in sand, and tyres suffer accordingly.
Last year Ferrari got it all right with a 1/2 for RENÉ ARNOUX and PATRICK TAMBAY. A repeat this year would reopen the Drivers' Championship but even the legendary Italian team would have to admit McLaren seem almost uncatchable in the Constructors Championship. Commentators

continuing the tribute to one of the screen's most memorable actors with Martha and George-a middle-aged college professor and his embittered wife - engage constantly in a campaign of self-destruction and verbal abuse. After a Saturday party they invite a new lecturer and his young wife to join them for drinks. It is an encounter that lasts through a night of self-revelation. Burton and Taylor give dazzling performances as the couple whose war of words made the play an outstanding success.
