In the early 18th century, when travel round Britain was far more hazardous than today, William Stukeley, doctor, vicar and 'antiquarian', journeyed far in his quest for standing stones. David Drew retraces his travels and tells the story of Stukeley's fascination with 'the stupendous fabric' of Avebury and 'the magnificent wonder' of Stonehenge - which he saw as a gigantic temple of the Druids.

Last of a four-part series written by Dennis Potter.
'It's all coming together, my love'. The glittering fragments of a broken life have been passed over by too many people. Everyone has been manipulating the beautiful
Blackeyes. And some of those are due for punishment. But who has really been pulling the silken threads? And how can such a pliant doll ever escape the predators as they hungrily close in for their last feast upon her slender limbs?
