In Rona Tarry 's house past members of the family - smuggler, merchant and City Councillor, some of whom died over 100 years ago - have continued their presence, kept alive by photos, old possessions and handed-on stories.

Roy Lancaster and Alan Titchmarsh take an entertaining look at the National Garden Festival, Stoke-on-Trent.
The garden festival is both a spectacular display of flowers and a highly entertaining event for the whole family.
With hot-air balloons, steam trains, canal boats, street musicians, groups and clowns, there's bound to be something to enthrall all ages. Situated on the site of the old Shelton Steel Works, 66 acres of derelict land have been reclaimed and transformed into a horticultural paradise, and with over 80 different gardens ranging from Elizabethan walks to Tudor knot gardens, and right up to date with gardens for the 80s, there are thousands of good ideas for both the serious and not-too-serious gardener.

Christopher Marlowe , celebrated Elizabethan playwright, was assumed to have been accidentally killed in a tavern brawl over a bill in Deptford, Kent, in 1593. Despite the verdict of an inquest held that year, mystery still surrounds the playwright's death.
Who were the men in Elizabeth's secret service he was to meet that day? Why did his alleged killer receive a royal pardon so speedily? Was it Marlowe who died at all in Deptford? Or was another body substituted to allow him to escape abroad safe from the deadly charge of atheism which had been brought against him by the Star
Chamber? Now, 400 years later, a second inquest is convened to attempt to solve the mystery.
