1991-francis-bacon-kaleidoscope-last
In this interview, recorded in Bacon's 82nd year, the artist talks openly and movingly about his influences, his work and his ongoing passion for both life and painting. Although Bacon resists any attempt to eulogise him or his work, the sense of a great man looking back on a remarkable life suffuses the interview. Bacon restates his famous claim here that he 'doesn't draw'.
As visitors to Bacon exhibitions can testify, he actually left behind a great body of drawings, perhaps revealing that his work was more planned and meticulous than he liked to admit.
Originally broadcast 17 August 1991.

The Berlin Wall | A city divided between East and West by the Cold War
Panorama | Berlin
Robin Day reports on the newly built Berlin Wall.
CHANNEL | BBC Television Service
FIRST BROADCAST | 30 October 1961
SYNOPSIS
Robin Day visits various places along the East-West Berlin boundary that have taken on new significance since the wall was constructed a few months ago. From Checkpoint Charlie to the Brandenburg Gate, he traces the symbols of division and the precautionary measures taken against Russian movements. The report also provides an idea of what life was like for the inhabitants behind the wall and includes an interview with the Mayor of West Berlin, Willy Brandt.
DID YOU KNOW?
In this footage, flowers mark the spot where an East Berliner jumped out of a window to escape from the Russian zone but tragically died. This was possibly Ida Siekmann, who jumped from the third floor of her house at Bernauer Strasse on 22 August 1961 but did not survive her injuries, despite throwing mattresses onto the pavement to break her fall.

1918
1918-seeing-london
A unique glimpse at London in 1918, some months before the end of World War I. The film shows some of the famous sights of the city, from Westminster to St Paul’s Cathedral, from Clepotra’s Needle to the Tower of London where military exercises are being held. The film was shot by the American traveler Elias Burton Holmes (1870–1958) who photographed and filmed his travels abroad, later holding lectures and screening the films to paying audiences. Other than providing unique early documentation of London’s top sights, the film also shows a baseball match played between the US Army and US Navy where King George V is seen attending and greeting the players. The match was played at the Chelsea Football Ground on July 4th, the American Independence Day, and was attended by 18,000 spectators, including the King and Queen.

30 June 1957
The duke reveals the questions that this international scientific project will seek to answer.
The International Geophysical Year was held to encourage scientists from across the world to work together to gather and share knowledge about the earth. The Duke of Edinburgh, as a Fellow of the Royal Society, presents an overview of the various experiments to be carried out. These include satellite technology, solar observation and oceanography. This was important as, by 1957, it had already been observed that the oceans were rising and the glaciers melting.
The International Geophysical Year ran from July 1, 1957, to December 31, 1958. During this year the USSR launched Sputnik 1 and the USA set up NASA.

Sir Wilfred Thomason Grenfell, KCMG (28 February 1865 – 9 October 1940) was a medical missionary to Newfoundland.
In 1908, Grenfell was on his way with his dogs to a Newfoundland village for a medical emergency when he got caught in "slob", from which he managed to get onto an ice-pan with the dogs. He was forced to sacrifice some of his dogs to make a warm, fur coat for himself. After drifting for several days without food or fresh water, he was rescued by some villagers in the area. Because of this experience he buried the dogs and put up a plaque saying, "Who gave their lives for me."
