The weekend will explore the different treatments of the dead that archaeologists have found in Britain. It will seek to show links between that treatment and the significance of the body as part of the belief in 'afterlife'. The excavation of a burial of any period is a very tangible link between this time and the past and much information can be gained or interpreted from them. The evidence of anthropology will also be used to show how modern perspectives can, sometimes, be misleading when considering belief and religion.

This course will introduce you to the broad range of topics covered by Philosophy and show how it has developed over the past two and a half thousand years. This year we shall focus on the major questions ?free will ? do we have it?? and the problem of knowledge ?how do we know what we claim to know?? We shall also discuss a wide range of ethical questions and the merits (and demerits) of various ethical systems.

Postwar, dramas included The Blue Lamp and The Cruel Sea, but the studio is best known for its comedies ?
