Broadcasting House - 30/08/2009

This week's BH is presented by Stephen Evans. Following the death of Senator Ted Kennedy, we hear about what made him America's "liberal Lion." In the week when plans for a new high-speed train line between London and Glasgow were announced, we extol the virtues of the slow train. We bring you a blast of newly-released BBC Archive, telling us, amongst other things, how to handle our gas masks. And Becky Milligan speaks to three of those who travelled on the Winton Train, which took Jewish refugees from Prague to Liverpool Street in 1939 almost 70 years ago. Joining us to leaf through the Sunday papers were doctor Max Pemberton, businessman Sir Martin Sorrell and producer and director of the Edinburgh Comedy Awards, Nica Burns.
