No, I don't think they said but I've put my wife on the case and when she
comes up with something I'll let you know.

David Starkey was interviewed on radio 2 yesterday afternoon and I thought
then that it sounded like a fascinating series.
Another one for the recorder.

Thought some of you might be interested in this new audio book to complement
a forthcoming tv series with david Starkey. Copied from Audible website.

Tying-in with a four-part BBC TV series presented by David Starkey, this
audiobook offers a new history of Britain through music, showing how the
Royal Court shaped the musical landscape of Britain.
Many of our current musical symbols of nationhood - from the Last Night of
the Proms to football terraces erupting in song - have their origins in the
way the Crown deliberately shaped the national soundtrack.
This is a story of song and power, exploring how Henry VIII subverted the
Reformation he started by protecting a sacred choral tradition he loved; how
Henry Purcell's music was designed to help make Charles II more palatable to
his subjects; how opera in Georgian London is a story of political
infighting between the King and his son; and how the coronation of Elizabeth
II, and the music of Vaughan Williams, represented the last dramatic moment
of church and state coming together in all its grandeur.
