Some pretty good shots of Southwell inside and out.

I had not realised that when someone died at the workhouse, sometimes their bodies were used in Medical Schools for dissection.

Hi everyone  :)
Missed this . Does anyone know if it will be repeated ? I know sometimes they repeat programmes same week but later at night .
Reason i missed it was the  Ken Loach film/documentry  on Film 4 called The Spirit of 45 , wich i would highly recommend . Some great old footage and testimonials

Personally I found it watchable, but I didn't learn much more than I had read about already, and the different stories did jump about a bit.  Won't go into any more detail in case some will be watching either a repeat, or on iPlayer. Will watch the second episode next week, too.

I found it quite uncomfortable when Brian Cox started ranting about the injustice of his ancestor being labelled a malingerer, as though it was the researcher's fault.
I'm not young enough to know everything.
