The Early Life of Beatrix Potter
Starring Helena Bonham-Carter David Langton William Lucas
Although she is generally associated with the Lake District, it was at Dalguise in Perthshire that Beatrix Potter first developed the love of nature that permeates her work.
Many of the characters in her famous little books are based on people she got to know on holidays in Scotland, as are many of the settings. While staying at Eastwood in Dunkeld, Beatrix wrote the celebrated letter to Noel Moore about a rabbit called Peter. Her career as a writer, beloved of children everywhere, began that day on the banks of the River Tay.

A look back at the events of the week as they were reportedin the national press.
The Prince of Wales cast the first brickbat but Maxwell Hutchinson has a view of British architecture which is equally controversial and, because he is the President of the Royal Institute of British Architects, very influential. Where some, including Prince Charles, find ugliness in our landscape, he finds inspiration - he describes the tower block Centre Point in London as one of his favourite buildings. Michael Delahaye accompanies Max Hutchinson on an architectural odyssey through the south east, in search of buildings the Riba President believes show the best and worst of design.
