A'series of eight programmes
1 Introduced by DR. F. HILLIARD
6: English Teaching n The teaching of English Is central to the whole business of secondary education. In probably no other subject have teachers been so eager to experiment, and so self-critical of their aims and methods. Yet good teachers of English are so individualistic in their teaching that it is very hard to distinguish what they have in common.

6: The early Christian Celtic world
The vernacular traditions of the British Isles owe their earliest written form to the Church. The ' Golden Age ' of the Church, in which all the arts flourished, was brought to an end by the Vikings. The Picts. who occupied most of Scotland, were a powerful people with a unique style of art. In the fifth century the Scots, who came from Ireland, founded the kingdom of Dalriada in western Scotland. and by the middle of the ninth r century had taken control of the whole country.

Fourteen illustrated talks by ROGER FISKE
12: The Reaction against German Domination
The cult of the colossal went on to find its culmination in the works of Wagner. Mahler, and Strauss, but French composers, particularly after the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. turned elsewhere for ideas, to the other arts-Impressionist painting and Symbolist poetry, and to other pJaces-Spain and the Orient. Some nations derived inspiration from their own folksong. All these reactions were reflected, in fresh attitudes to the orchestra and new difficulties for the players.
Produced by Peter Dodd

Three lectures recorded from a recent series
3: Ethics and Language by G. J. WARNOCK
Lecturer in Philosophy University of Oxford
What is uniquely characteristic of moral discourse? Philosophers during the last hundred years have put forward various answers. But all these have, in effect, confused moral philosophy with the philosophy of language; and so they have taken the problem on an extended circular tour. Today, sadder and perhaps a little wiser, we are back with J. S. Mill 's question ' concerning the foundation of morality.'
