This Sceptred Isle, the BBC Radio 4 series on the history of the British Empire, is back on the airwaves after a short hiatus. It's being broadcast in three series of 30 parts each, and the final series started yesterday. We're now up to the later nineteenth century, high Victoriana and that ever-vexing 'Irish Question'. Solid, well-written, enjoyable stuff.
I must say, I quite enjoy the idea of taking a short break out of my day to listen to a radio programme - and an educative programme at that. It seems a pleasantly eccentric thing to do.
