Civilised Britain 43AD : prior to the Roman invasion |
| This is a treatise which formed part of an unpublished degree dissertation presented to University College London in May 1991, on the identity of Britain during the years 55BC to 43AD, and argues that the region south-east of the Jurassic Ridgeway rapidly became a client state of Rome after the departure of Julius Caesar.

Ben-Hur rides again |
| Chariots race around a huge arena at break-neck speed... a vast Roman army wields swords and spears... two gladiators fight to the death.Yet this is no scene from ancient Rome but a version of the Ben-Hur story, taking place in the very modern setting of London's O2 Arena. The 90-minute performance is the most ambitious telling of the story since the Oscar-winning 1959 movie of the same name, which starred Charlton Heston.
