Cockney has been the speech of London since Chaucer's day. The Muvver Tongue shows how Cockneys pick the linguistic pockets of the world, giving us words like 'buckshee', 'gazump', 'nosh' and 'shemozzle'. These and, of course, the famous rhyming slang, are still having a powerful influence on English today.
The Muvver Tongue also explores the making of Australian English, from the 'flash talk' of the first Cockney convicts to present-day 'strine'.

The first of six documentaries The Team on B6
'If the doctors had to clean up the vomit they might think twice about some of their treatments', says
Vivien Hancock , who heads the team on ward B6 in Whipps Cross Hospital in London's East End.
Nurses spend their working lives among sick, and sometimes dying, people. While doctors make the major decisions about treatment, it is nurses who deal with suffering on a day-to-day basis.
Making friends with those they care for can be rewarding. It can also be an emotional burden. But the team on B6 believes that if nurses become hardened to their situation they become less good at their job.
The film follows events on the ward from the nurses' point of view.
