1948-olympic-town-at-richmond-park
04 June 1948
A former military convalescent camp is being converted and updated to provide housing for 1,500 Olympic visitors. Evidence of 'Austerity Britain' abounds as single beds are lined up in cramped dormitories and a static water tank is described as a duck pond. However, some luxuries will be provided as the camp will also have its own Post Office, bank and milk bar.
The provision of accommodation for the Olympic competitors was a politically sensitive issue, with a balance having to be struck between the need for Britain to be seen as capable of providing an adequate level of comfort for its guests and the pressure to rebuild housing for that part of its population left homeless by the war. Guards had to be posted at the Richmond Park site to prevent squatters moving in after the British Army vacated it. Camps were also prepared at RAF bases in Uxbridge and West Drayton. Between them, these three sites were expected to cater for 4,300 of the 6,000 expected guests. Female competitors were housed at three colleges in the Greater London area.

1909-07-23 David Lloyd George Speech On The Budget
David Lloyd George, 1st Earl Lloyd-George of Dwyfor,[a] OM, PC (17 January 1863 – 26 March 1945) was a British statesman and Liberal Party politician. He was the final Liberal to serve as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
As Chancellor of the Exchequer (1908–1915) during H. H. Asquith's tenure as Prime Minister, Lloyd George was a key figure in the introduction of many reforms which laid the foundations of the modern welfare state. His most important role came as the highly energetic Prime Minister of the Wartime Coalition Government (1916–22), during and immediately after the First World War. He was a major player at the Paris Peace Conference of 1919 that reordered Europe after the defeat of the Central Powers. Although he remained Prime Minister after the 1918 general election, the Conservatives were the largest party in the coalition, with the Liberals split between those loyal to Lloyd George, and those still supporting Asquith. He became the leader of the Liberal Party in the late 1920s, but it grew even smaller and more divided. By the 1930s he was a marginalised and widely mistrusted figure. He gave weak support to the war effort during the Second World War amidst fears that he was favourable toward Germany.
He was voted the third greatest British prime minister of the 20th century in a poll of 139 academics organised by MORI, and in 2002 he was named among the 100 Greatest Britons following a UK-wide vote.

THE B
the-bards-tale-2004-a-rat-in-the-cellar
The Bard's Tale is an action role-playing game developed and published by inXile Entertainment in 2004 and was distributed by Vivendi Universal Games in North America and Ubisoft in Europe
The plot involves "a sardonic and opportunistic musician and adventurer, driven by carnal rather than noble pursuits. The Bard, who is never identified by a specific name nor addressed by anything other than 'The Bard,' is not interested in saving the world; his humble motivations are strictly 'coin and cleavage.'" His quest is narrated by a mocking, biased man (played by Tony Jay) who cannot stand him.
The Bard is voiced by Cary Elwes - You know from The Princess Bride and err.. Robin Hood; Men in Tights..

1962-panorama-cuba-end-of-the-missile
Cuba and the Cold War | From Castro's rise to power to the missile crisis
Panorama | Cuba
After 'one of the most dangerous weeks in history', what now for the world?
CHANNEL | BBC Television Service
FIRST BROADCAST | 29 October 1962
SYNOPSIS
The news and current-affairs programme looks at the implications of the end of the Cuban missile crisis. Hosted by Richard Dimbleby, studio discussions are chaired by Robin Day in Washington and James Mossman at home, with guests including the Right Honourable Harold Wilson and the Right Honourable Earl of Home, who discuss Britain's role in the crisis. John Morgan reports from checkpoint Bravo in Berlin on whether the Soviet position there will change as a result of Khrushchev's climbdown. Sir William Hayter, a former Ambassador to Moscow, is certain that this is not the beginning of world peace.
DID YOU KNOW?
Kennedy and Khrushchev held a summit in 1961, where Kennedy proposed that they avoid encroaching on each other's foreign affairs. In defiance, Khrushchev threatened to enforce East German control over West Berlin and Kennedy responded by calling up 250,000 reservists. Following this and also because there were increasing numbers of skilled workers leaving East Berlin, the Soviet Union and East Germany built the Berlin Wall and closed all access to the West.

YUL B
yul-brynner-1972-interview
Broadcast 20 July 1972
The star of 'The King and I' (1956) and 'The Magnificent Seven' (1960), Yul Brynner, remembers busking with his guitar in Paris, trying out for a circus trapeze act and treading the boards in touring productions of Shakespeare's plays. He also recalls the impromptu audition that would lead Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein to cast him in what is, perhaps, his most famous role: the King of Siam in 'The King and I'.
Yul Brynner starred in the stage version of 'The King and I' on 4,525 occasions, starting with the first Broadway production in 1951 and continuing throughout the span of his subsequent career. He won an Oscar for Best Actor for his part in the 1956 screen version and even reprised the role in a farewell stage run in 1985 after learning that he was dying of lung cancer.
