No Terror

I would very much like to have watched BBC’s programme on Robespierre and The Terror, but I was in the middle of A Place of Greater Safety by Hilary Mantel, and wanted to wait until I finished it.  Sadly, the BBC only gives you a week to see its watch-again facility, then whisks its programmes away.  I shall have to wait for the (inevitable) repeat.  Magnificent book, but then I am a fan of ‘ilary.
