South Shields comedian gets wrapped up in WW1 and WW2, then has some comparative light relief at a lying-in hospital.
WDYTYA? Lesley Manville
Last in the series, and possibly the dullest. Doubtless the Swing Riots were important, and it did mean Lesley got to go to New South Wales to meet a hitherto unconnected branch of her family.
Immigration Breakdown
Fareed Zakaria takes a whole special show to list the 20th century's immigration story in the US, and how the real problem there these days is that a falling population means they need to raise immigration, not cut it.
Colouring Light - Brian Clarke : An Artist Apart
Bloke from Oldham who works in stained glass and has fans like renowned architect Zaha Hadid (still alive at the time of this 2011 profile).

5 - Scarborough
Arlene Phillips had childhood memories of a miniature railway, so she and Susan rode on it again. Quite a reasonable little series, as ever.
Susan Calman's Summer by the Sea
1 - Clacton on Sea
So my guess is they've adjusted the title and spread broadcast weekly rather than all rushed through in 1 week. Nina Wadia was her celeb guest, not that she got to do a whole lot more than most guests.
Magnum P.I. (Reboot) Ep 3 “Number One With a Bullet” Season 5.
The Listening Post
Why the Indian meedja blocked reports of the Manipur situation for nearly 2 months, and whether there might be pitfalls in satellite pictures all coming from private companies.
All in Good Fun
Bob Monkhouse links a show looking at early/silent cinema days, with clips that sometimes make you wonder how the whole thing ever caught on.
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Finale.
"What You Leave Behind"
My favourite star trek finale (apart from the Enterprise finale obviously
).
The Witcher Ep 3 “Reunion” Season 3.
