I am so sad about the government scrapping the Latin Excellence Programme mid-year. It was bringing Latin to a range of state schools (with considerable success, as I have witnessed). I am trying hard to resist the idea that it is ill-informed prejudice against the subject. tinyurl.com/5fjr9ywk

I'm half-way through Storyville's "Until I Fly" on BBC4 & I cannot recommend it enough: documentary following a 5-year-old Nepalese boy who's just moved to a remote village in India. No voiceover, mostly shot level with the boy's own eyeline - it's literally like walking around with him. Astonishing
