SYNOPSIS: Albert was dead and the Queen, stricken with grief, prepared to spend the rest of her life mourning. Her Government and her family sought to bring her out of seclusion but she was determined to remain the Widow of Windsor. The years which followed were some of the most momentous in British history, some of the Queen's Ministers the most famous. There was the great Palmerston who managed to keep a mocking ascendancy over her; Mr Gladstone, Grand Old Man and People's William, who prowled the streets at night in an attempt to lead prostitutes back to a life of respectability, and who was no favourite of the Queen, unlike the witty Disraeli, who charmed her completely.

SYNOPSIS: The story of Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table is the chief myth of Britain. But is it something more than myth?
