The Adventure Of English
An expansion of the ideas contained in the acclaimed ITV series,
The Adventure of English 500AD to 2000. This is the remarkable
story of the English language; from its beginnings as a minor
guttural Germanic dialect to its position today as a truly established
global language. Understood by around two thousand million people
across the world, English seems set to go on. Yet it was very
nearly wiped out. The Adventure of English is not only an enthralling
story of power, religion and trade, but also the story of people,
and how their day-to-day lives continue to change the extraordinary
language that is English.

Sarah Challis
On Dancing Hill
Kate and Josh Hutchins have been married for thirty years. For
all that time they have lived on Dancing Hill Farm in Dorset.
Here they brought up three children, expected to grow old, and
imagined they would pass the farm on to one of the boys, like
generations of family before them. But things have not gone to
plan; Dancing Hill itself is no longer the profitable place that
it once was. When her children give her a week's painting holiday
in Provence the restless Kate seizes it, not realising that by
the time she comes back, everything will have changed.
