The last in the series
'I was 23 before I could afford a holiday away from home. I had heard of the wonders of the Lake District. It was only 60 miles away, but, until now, another world, distant, unattainable': so Wainwright recalled his first visit to the Lake District.
Now, in an emotional journey, he returns with Eric Robson to the places that hold special memories - to
Orrest Head ('an awakening beauty'), to Borrowdale ('the loveliest square mile in Lakeland') and to Haystacks ('the best fell top of all') and recalls the making of his unique Guide to the Lakeland Fells.

Who Built Stonehenge? At various times learned men have claimed that
Stonehenge was built by Merlin the magician, the ancient British Druids, the Romans, the Mycaeneans,
Stone Age computer experts and men from outer space ... Now at last, thanks to advances in archaeological techniques, all previous answers to the mystery are seen to be wrong.
Colin Renfrew , Professor of Archaeology at Cambridge, provides a more up-to-date and reliable answer.
He takes you on an amazing journey that begins in the Orkney islands, where
Britain's first farmers lived in cosy but short-lived comfort; and to Wessex beauty spots where corpses were once exposed to birds of prey; and ends by unveiling the builder of Stonehenge.

with John Pitman
Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children
Sunjeev is recovering from an operation. He thinks it's his
19th. Clare, who is 11, has just had a blockage removed,
'Now I'll be able to grow', she says, 'It'll cost my mum a lot in new clothes.'
Upstairs there is a party for Andrew who is 1 today; downstairs, Princess Michael of Kent is opening a new ward. Nearly all the children referred here are seriously ill.
There is an underlying feeling of tension. But overall, it's a happy place. A place for hope. This series adds a bit of joy to life
