Lady Asquith in conversation with Kenneth Harris
'When we arrived at Downing Street there was only one bath in the house and that was in my father's bedroom. And there wasn't a single bookshelf in the house. Had no Prime Minister ever washed or read, I wondered?' Still perhaps better remembered as Lady Violet Bonham-Carter , Lady Asquith died 18 years ago in 1969. In this programme made in 1967, she recalls Gladstone, her father, Lloyd George and Winston Churchill.
Produced by MARGARET DOUGLAS (R)

Tonight's Close Harmony comes from the chapel of King's College, Cambridge.
The Saturday before Easter is a day of mourning, but tempered with the hope of life to come. The music reflects this theme in two major works: the psalm 'Miserere mei, Deus', in the setting by GREGORIO ALLEGRI, and the Requiem by GABRIEL faure. This is the first television performance of Faure
Requiem in the edition by JOHN RUTTER which re-creates the sound Faure intended for his own church in Paris.
Barry Rose introduces the programme, and in the interval Stephen Cleobury , Director of Music at King's, reveals the training that's required to maintain the King's sound.
