Off-air recordings for week 26th July - 1st August 2008

Please email Rich Deakin < rdeakin@glos.ac.uk > if you would like any of the following programmes / series recording.*

BBC4's Cab Night . Some of the programmes, such as Arena: Cab Driver, The Knowledge and Modern Times: Streetwise may be of more use/interest than the others.

Riddle of the Romanovs: Revealed - Historical documentary probing one of the 20th century's most enduring mysteries. In 1918, Nicholas II of Russia and his family were executed by the Bolsheviks. Rumours that some of his children may have survived gained ground when investigators discovered that two bodies were missing from the family's grave.

Voyages of Discovery part 3 - THE ICE KING. In 1892 Fridtjof Nansen announced a seemingly suicidal plan to be first to the North Pole. He's now considered a forefather of polar exploration.

Travellers' Century - part 2 Laurie Lee. "Benedict Allen recreates Laurie Lee's 1935 journey across Spain as a 20-year-old penniless poet, a trip that was captured in his book As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning."

If there are any other programmes that you would like recording please let me know and will see if I can accomodate your request.
