Personal recollections of the 20th century from Britain's oldest citizens.

"I'd never seen a man like that before, naked, and I wanted to hide in the wardrobe." Nothing in Dorothy Spencer's upbringing prepared her for the shocking intimacy of her wedding night. For the Edwardians, marriage was a terrifying lottery of ignorance and fear.
Five 90-year-olds tell the story of how they married virtual strangers, yet found happiness against all the romantic odds.

The Belomor Canal was the first large-scale slave-labour project of the Gulag

Dmitri Nalbandyan , a painting notorious not only for what it depicts - Stalin and his henchmen at the inauguration - but for what it leaves out: the men and women who worked, and died, on the canal. Director David Jeffcock
