Six encounters with the delights of home-made pickles and chutneys and the people who make them to perfection.
With Davilia David and David Mabey 1: Get Pickling!
No two home-made pickles are ever the same, so 'perfection' is always a matter of taste. There's a superb recipe for sweet pickled onions in Norfolk, the basic principles of successful pickling and a tribute to the great picklers of the past. Meanwhile, the expert chutney-makers of the CHESHIRE WOMEN'S INSTITUTE do battle over the preserving pans in readiness for the Cheshire Show.

Vision of a Conqueror
The Glorious Revolution
On 5 November 1688, William of Orange landed at Brixham and began the last successful invasion of England. His goal was London. The prize was the English crown.
But why did William really invade? The traditional view is that he only came because he was invited, and that he was the duller partner in the dual monarchy of William and Mary. But William was nobody's dupe. He saw
England as a weapon to be used in his European campaigns.
Peter France tells the story from William's perspective, and points out the price that was paid by the English for constitutional monarchy and the rule of Parliament. Film editor PAUL ASHTON
