As we gear up for the 2012 games, in this MON first programme she looks at the birth of the modern MON olympics movement. While it was inspired by the Greeks and MON revived by the French nobleman, Pierre de Coubertin, his MON motivation came from a provincial English public school. It MON was while visiting Rugby and contemplating the work of its MON visionary headmaster, Thomas Arnold, that de Coubertin came MON to the conclusion that inferior physical fitness in young MON Frenchmen had played a part in their defeat by the Germans MON in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. If they played more MON sport at school, he thought, the outcome might have been MON different. With Richard Holt and Tony Collins, Professors at MON the International Centre for Sport History and Culture at De MON Montfort University, Clare discusses what lessons can be MON drawn from the games since 1896, in order to achieve success MON when they return to us this year.

TUE Beauty sees herself as an inspiration to other African girls TUE hoping to live the dream in Britain. 'There are plenty of TUE opportunities here.

TUE The series breaks the embarrassed silence about what happens TUE to us when we get old and start to lose our faculties. It TUE shows the process in all its chaotic, tragi-comedy but it TUE does so from the point of view of a migrant worker, Beauty, TUE whose Zimbabwean Shona background has taught her to respect TUE age. Beauty sees Britain at its best, its worst and also TUE sometimes without its clothes on running the wrong way down TUE the M6 with a toy dog shouting 'Come on!' TUE In episode one, Beauty is sent to look after Sarah, who TUE lives with both her mother and daughter.

Clare visits TUE Broadhalfpenny Down in Hampshire, the original home of TUE Hambledon Cricket Club, that's widely regarded as the TUE birthplace of modern cricket. The origins of the game go TUE back to the sixteenth century, it was a farm game, played on TUE landed estates. Highly competitive aristocratic landowners, TUE with money and time to spend, would employ men on their TUE estates who were the best cricketers, so they could use them TUE on their team. Cricket brought together landowners and their TUE agricultural workers, they played together on the same TUE pitch, in the same team - on a level playing field. TUE Professor Richard Holt of the International Centre for TUE Sports history and culture at De Montfort University TUE explains that while we shouldn't confuse social mixing with TUE social harmony, this picture of cricket as a village game, TUE played on summer afternoon, everyone knowing their place on TUE the field, has become the image of Englishness.

As THU Professor Richard Holt from the International Centre for THU Sport History and Culture at De Montfort University THU explains, the British have always loved a flutter. Gambling THU is in the DNA of sport. Having a bet not only gives an THU incentive to the thrill of sporting competitions but also THU pushed early sports to have clear and enforceable rules. The THU extravagant losses of the eighteenth century aristocracy THU caused a moral backlash in the Victorian era that led to a THU crackdown in betting legislation. THU Producer: Sara Conkey.
