Did anyone see “The Century That Wrote Itself”? It is still available on the iPlayer until 10pm on Wednesday:

I thought it was very good, and not just because they used some of “our” stuff. But, if you only have a couple of minutes… You could zoom straight ahead to the 43-minute mark, and see Adam Nicolson and Robyn Adams looking at the Soresby family’s copy of a writing manual by John de Beau Chesne (D331/26/1). Leonard Wheatcroft follows shortly thereafter.

I did watch the programme and enjoyed it, but on following the link to the BBC I found there was a programme on iplayer about Roslyn Chapel. I watched that too. So 2 good items on one day! How good is that?
