like any of the following programmes / series recording.*
Monday 14th
BBC4 - Rude Britannia - new 3-part series - "BBC Four has graciously set aside a night to examine whether Britain has become an impossibly rude and selfish country.
But to say that Britain once enjoyed a reputation as a polite nation ignores the often bawdy atmosphere that preceded the Victorian era's starched manners. And for many Britons, the post-war openness and expressiveness (and the resulting take-it-to-the-edge comedy) is a boon that outweighs the problems of anti-social behaviour. However, has the pendulum now swung too far?"
Wednesday 16th
Five - Secrets of the Jesus Tomb - "Religious documentary which explores the discovery of a tomb in Jerusalem believed to be that of Jesus and his family. In 1980, archaeologists uncovered a burial place containing a number of boxes inscribed with names from the New Testament - including Jesus and a 'son of Jesus'. Having languished in storage for over 20 years, these relics are now being studied by a group of scientists and Bible experts in a bid to establish their authenticity."
Thursday 17th
ITV1 - Women On The Frontline: Tonight - "Julie Etchingham reports from Afghanistan, where she meets some of the hundreds of women putting their lives at risk by working in one of the most dangerous environments in the world."
BBC4 - Frost On Satire - "Sir David Frost charts the story of satire in the UK and America and its impact on 20th-century politics.
Featuring archive gems including material from That Was The Week That Was and Saturday Night Live, Sir David talks to satirical veterans from both sides of the Atlantic."
