- 1. Mr Rolls and Mr RoyceNow viewing1972-11-211h 30mIn the early 20th century, the motor car was not only new but was looked upon somewhat askance by almost everyone as something that was unreliable and had little future. Frederick Royce from Birmingham had a different view. His company manufactured electric dynamos but his passion became the gasoline powered motor car. Throughout 1903–1904, he designed, built and tested his first 2-cylinder car. Its quality in terms of reliability and smooth running was unknown at the time. Meanwhile, Charles Rolls resides in London and shares Royce's passion for the automobile. The son of a Baron, Rolls is an adventurer who liked to test the limits of cars and later airplanes. An avid racer and balloonist, he'd had little difficulty selling Royce's vehicles once the two finally met in 1904 and together formed Rolls-Royce Ltd in 1906. Their emphasis on quality automobiles remains their hallmark today.
- 2. Horatio Bottomley1972-11-281h 30mOver several decades, Horatio Bottomley was a figure simply larger than life. Frequently sued for fraud or slander, he always defended himself in court and usually won. He was elected as a Member of Parliament and published the John Bull magazine from 1906, which he used to feed the need for the everyman to have someone tear down and attack society's institutions. Bombastic, arrogant and opinionated are only a few views of him as are eloquent, influential and revered.

Many of her books were for children and several, such as The Railway Children, were turned into film. Edith married Hubert Bland and theirs was a different relationship as it included another woman, Alice Hoatson, who lived with them.

Conan Doyle1972-12-121h 30mSir Arthur Conan Doyle, creator of Sherlock Holmes, has his own mystery to solve when he answers a call from George Edalji, who claims to have been falsely convicted of mutilating animals and imprisoned.
