How to make interesting things: Number 820 - The Television
To make a television, you need a lot of very complicated things and some really fiddly bits (about seven). You put these all together until you have a television. When you have done that, put switch to ON to test it. A well-made set should be showing Fast
Forward, a programme with funny bits.

The Age of Charles n A Timewatch special
'Let not poor Nellie starve.' With those words Charles n, the 'Merry Monarch', died
300 years ago. Of all British sovereigns, this womanising, yachting, horse-racing king has a fond place in popular myth. During his 25-year reign England returned from the horrors of civil war to peace and plenty. David Drew looks at some of the lasting achievements of the age of Charles n and at the man who, somewhat waywardly, presided over them.
