For anyone interested in the fate of the Britons (Celts) during the Dark Ages, there is a series of three programmes starting on Thursday 16th January at 8.00pm on BBC Radio 4, entitled "The Dark Origins of Britain". According to the Radio Times, new archaeological and DNA evidence is unveiled, which overturns the traditional view that the Anglo-Saxons drove all the Celts into Wales and Cornwall.

Estren,

I am sorry about the BBC holding up your message. They probably thought that your greetings in Cornish were nasty messages in a strange language.

In answer to your question, it looks as if there will be a web site for the radio series, but it is not yet operational. When it is, I will post another message here with the URL. Keep watching here.

Have you managed to get the two books from Joseph Biddulph yet? If not, you can obtain them direct from Joseph Biddulph. You can write to him at:-

32, Stryd Ebeneser, PONTYPRIDD, CF37 5PB, Wales.

If you have any problems, please let me know.

Yeghes da (Good health - in Cornish)

Estren,

It looks as if the BBC is not going to be opening a web site for 'The Dark Origins of Britain' Radio series. I listened to the first programme, in the series of three, last Thursday and thought it was particularly poor - nothing like as good as 'The Blood of the Vikings' TV series.

Estren et al,

At the end of this evening's broadcast in 'The Dark Origins of Britain' series the BBC announced that there was now a web site for the programme. It is:-

I am sorry for misleading you before, but it has only just appeared on-line.
