Subjects: | Ex-Head BBC Yorks Colin is now doing talks via the internet using Zoom and other technology solutions. Secret Wartime Britain - the stories of hundreds of places across Britain, including in Yorkshire, which were secret during the Second World War and which helped determine the outcome of the conflict. These include factories, command bunkers, spying bases, art treasure stores, interrogation centres,chemical weapons stores and many others. It's also the story of how and why places were kept secret by people who lived nearby and who worked there. Relics of the Reich - When Nazi Germany collapsed in 1945, hundreds of buildings and public spaces built by the regime were left behind and many still exist today. This is the story of how modern Germany has dealt with this unwanted legacy and what has happened to Nazi architecture over the last 75 years. A Place in History - what happens to places caught up in news events after the reporters and camera crews move on? How are places affected by being the centre of media attention? This is a tour of sites across Britain affected by news events in the past 100 years. Places visited include the scenes of tragic events like Dunblane and Hungerford but also quirkier sites like the farmer's field where Bob Dylan played to 100,000 people, the hotel where Agatha Christie hid and the site of the legendary Hacienda nightclub in Manchester. Inside the BBC - my stories from 25 years in front of and behind camera in the BBC. I worked as a reporter on many BBC programmes including Newsnight, Breakfast News, BBC News, File on 4. I was also a producer, editor and senior manager including as Head of BBC Yorkshire for seven years, responsible for revamping Look North with new presenters and new localised editions.
