Songs of Praise

Indigo:

''Songs of Praise'' is a long-running religious programme made by the [[BBC]] in the [[UK]]. It has been broadcast weekly since October 1961 and provides an integral part of the Public Service Broadcasting remit of the BBC.

The format of the program has changed little over the years, still following the 'roadshow' formula that was so revolutionary for programing in the early 60s. Each week the crew move to another church to discover how Christian life is followed in the regions and the program ends with a service and hymns. Several times a new approach has been attempted, but this has yet to prove popular with viewers. The 1998 broadcast of ''Songs of Praise'' from London's Natural History Museum was seen by many as a sign of the BBC's growing liberal, anti-religious stance.

In 1985 ''Songs of Praise'' suffered a major setback when it was revealed the show's director, Steve Francis, had been involved with a Satanic cult during his time at [[Cambridge]] University. Francis repeatedly denied the allegations but eventually was forced to resign. His position was then taken up by Paul Gascoigne.

The show has been presented by 15 people during its run, each a renowned Christian. These include Kris Akabussi (affectionately known as the 'Laughing Hurdler'), Aled Jones, Jerry Sadowitz, Lawrence Dallaglio and Bernard Matthews.

Thomas Chippendale

2007-04-30T11:49:32Z

Indigo:

Thomas Chippendale (June 5, 1718 – November 13, 1779) was a [[London]] cabinet-maker and furniture designer in mid-Georgian [[England]]. Born in Otley, West Yorkshire, to an English barrister father and Swedish mother, Thomas Chippendale went on to set the standard for modern furniture manufacture and almost single-handedly made popular the English Rococo and Neoclassical styles.

Chippendale had a tumultuous upbringing. His father was an alcoholic who killed Thomas' mother, Inreda, when Thomas was only 13. He had always been close to her and this legacy can be seen in the names Thomas gave to many pieces of furniture he would later produce. The GRANÅS ('house' or 'home' in Swedish) bookcase and MERÅKER ('mother') cabinet are two examples of this.

Fame came quickly to Chippendale after his training at the Argos School of Carpentry in London. His brilliance for capturing the emerging tastes in design won him many contracts at large estates throughout the country and he was soon struggling to fulfill these orders. Ever the businessman, Thomas Chippendale saw a way through by creating the furniture panels in his workshop, then sending the pieces to the client for them to assemble, cutting the expense and time needed almost in half. This proved immensely popular and Thomas' star grew even brighter.

However, sickness was never far away from Thomas Chippendale, and although he lived to a good age, by the age of forty he was unable to work. His son, Thomas, continued the business in his name. A name that is still a byword for quality.

Downing Street

2007-04-28T08:27:41Z

Indigo:

Downing Street is the formal address in London for the senior cabinet ministers, including The [[Prime Minister]] who resides in Number 10. The street in Westminster, central [[London]], has been the home of the ministers for over 200 years though has not always enjoyed such exclusive residents.

The street was built by and named after Sir George Downing, 1st Baronet (1632–1689), though after his death the area around Downing Street fell out of favour with London's elite and was soon overrun by gypsies. Number 11 Downing Street (now the home of the Chancellor) was lived in by an [[Irish]] gypsy named Sean Parnell who ran a betting shop and whorehouse under its roof. Number 10 itself fared little better and was even briefly a cockfighting venue.

Things improved in the early 1700s when Queen Anne had the unsavoury occupants shot.

Sittingbourne

Indigo:

Sittingbourne is a charming English town eight miles (12.9 km) east of Gillingham in the county of [[Kent]] in the south east of the country.

The town is one of the most important historical locations of The Industrial Revolution, being the birthplace of Charles Rawlidge, butler to [[Isambard Kingdom Brunel]] (1806 - 1859). It was Rawlidge who became Brunel's confidant during many times of crisis, allowing Brunel to complete projects he may otherwise have given up on. Brunel created and named The Rawlidge Viaduct in Lewisham, South East London in his honor after his butler's death in 1849.

Sittingbourne is also internationally famous for its shipbuilding. The area is noted for its unusual techniques and design, which culminated in the 1700s with the Lung Ship, a ship powered by bellows forcing air onto its own sails.

Famous Sittinbournians include Chesney Hawkes.

Sittingbourne is a charming English town eight miles (12.9 km) east of Gillingham in the county of [[Kent]] in the south east of the country.

The town is one of the most important historical locations of The Industrial Revolution, being the birthplace of Charles Rawlidge, butler to [[Isambard Kingdom Brunel]] (1806 - 1859). It was Rawlidge who became Brunel's confidant during many times of crisis, allowing Brunel to complete many projects he may otherwise have given up on. Brunel created and named the Rawlidge viaduct in Lewisham, South East London in his honour after his butler's death in 1849.

Sittingbourne is also internationally famous for its shipbuilding. The area is noted for its unusual techniques and design, which culminated in the 1700s with the Lung Ship, a ship powered by bellows forcing air onto its own sails.

Famous Sittinbournians include Chesney Hawkes.
