UK based list members might be interested to know about a new seven-part documentary series which has been funded by the Open University and will screen over the Summer on BBC2 on which I have been working as an academic consultant for the OU.
Saving Britain’s Past explores Britain’s changing attitudes towards heritage over the course of the twentieth century, focusing on key ‘moments’ that precipitated change and debate. The subjects of the seven programmes in Saving Britain’s Past are a starting point for exploring some of the key questions and debates surrounding Britain’s heritage that arose during the second part of the twentieth century. The programmes form part of the course materials for the new Open University course Understanding global heritage (AD281).
For more information about the series please see the Open2.net website<http://www.open2.net/savingbritainspast/index.html>.
Although we do not yet have a final transmission schedule, the first programme appears likely to go to air during the week of 24th August. Please check your local guides for more information.
all best regards
Rodney Harrison
