Weather followed by Chronicle
The Cottage
A simple Victorian cottage. It stands in the tiny hamlet of Walderton in the Sussex
Weald. Since 1979 it has been unfit for habitation. But is it perhaps more important than it seems? Could the fireplace be 17th century? Are the beams the original timbers? For two years Chronicle followed the story of the cottage as it was dismantled, carefully investigated, restored, and re-erected in the Weald and Downland
Open Air Museum as a prime example of traditional English building.

The Quiet Storm
(An Stoirm Sdmhach)
The Scottish islands of Harris and Lewis are among the few areas in the world where a strict Sabbath is still observed. This lifestyle was directly threatened last autumn when a ferry company announced it would sail to the islands on Sundays. Outraged islanders formed a resistance movement and their eventual victory over the ferry company and outside pressures was a national story. The price they paid, however, was media portrayal as bigoted reactionaries unable to face up to the realities of the 20th century. The islanders strongly resent this image and here, for the first time, put their own case advocating their unique way of life.

Moving home is among the most stressful of life's experiences; from the price boom of last summer to the rising mortgage rates and falling prices of today, these films chart six house sales - the anxiety, thrills, delights and disappointments.
The Five Million Pound Deal Georg and Corinna von
Engel want to move from their rented semi in Hoddesdon to 'The Templars' - a palatial mansion on one of the most prestigious streets in London's Hampstead.
When you have millions to spend on a house, what problems do you have in buying one? Georg wants a house that fits his clients' expectations of him - a Gone With the Wind portico and somewhere to park the Rolls - but he still needs a survey for the mortgage.
Paul Shoefield is an estate agent who has sold millions of pounds worth of property, but this deal would be one of his biggest - if it goes through. The stage is set for protracted negotiations.
When can Georg, a financier, complete? Photography

Ingres (1780-1867) The Turkish Bath at the Louvre, Paris.
The dense steamy group of nudes bathing as though in preparation for some erotic ritual is a masterpiece by a 'respectable' painter whose sensuality has been described by poet and critic Baudelaire 'as robust and nourishing as love in the days of the ancients'.
