For centuries, the kings and queens of England built
castles, palaces and churches and filled them with incom
parable treasures of art..
Royal Heritage, which began on PBS Jan. 28, is a
journey through these private buildings, from Buckingham
Palace to Balmoral; from the coronation coach to the
royal yacht, Britannia, to Queen Victoria's railway train.
The collection numbers da Vincis (almost 1,000
drawings), Rembrandts, Holbeins, Sevres china, Water
ford glass, furniture, jewels, a multitude of miniatures (a
favorite interest of Queen Victoria), and enough armor to
outfit a regiment of princes.
Royal Heritage marks the first time the general public
has been able to view close-up so many royal treasures,
and the interiors of the private buildings which house
them.
The hostnarrator of Royal Heritage is Sir Huw
Wheldon, former director of BBC television. Sir Huw has
also written the series narration in collaboration with
eminent British historian, J.H. Plumb. A lavishly illustra
ted volume, Royal Heritage, The Story of Britain's Royal
Builders and Collectors, co-authored by Plumb and Sir
Huw,. was published in England by BBC Publications in
association with the television series. The book now has
been published in the U.S. by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich.
The series unrolls a kind of royal tapestry a tapestry
of time with the figures of the kings and queens who
amassed this heritage interwoven with film of the royal
events which have marked their history.
An audience of over 10 million viewed the series when
the show was broadcast in Britain as part of the BBC's
contribution to Queen Elizabeth's 1977 Silver Jubilee
celebrations. The program received the highest ratings ever
recorded in that country for a television art series.
The series continues Sunday, Feb. 26 at 9 p.m. with
'The First Three Georges."
The Trooping the Color ceremoney was first
performed, Kew Gardens were planted and the Royal Aca
demy was founded under the first three Georges.
Encouraged by George I and George II, Handel com
posed his greatest music, and George III bought more
paintings by Canaletto than exist in any private collection.
The books that were his passion became the basis of the
British Library in the British Museum. The Gold State
Coach in which he rode to open his first Parliament, the
china he collected, and the paintings of Gainsborough re
flect the confidence of the 18th century.
Yet across its ordered landscapes hung the shadow of
the mob and political rebellion, and, in the case of the
king, private griefs and personal tragedy.
Locations in this program range from the Herrenhau
sen Gardens in Hanover to the country houses of
Houghton Hall, Chevening and Chatsworth, and the
Queen's Ballroom at Windsor.
Prince Charles talks about Geroge Ill's education and
shows some of the essays, architectural drawings and
scientific instruments he produced or used as Prince of
Wales.
Royal Heritage is a production of the BBC. Producer
for the BBC is Michael Gill (producer of the award
winning programs Civilization and America).

A DEATH IN CANAAN
Joan Barthel's 'A Death in Canaan'
starring Stefanie Powers as the auth
or whose best-selling, non-fiction
account of Connecticut townspeople
rising to the defense of teenager Peter
Reilly, accused of murdering his
mother, will be broadcast on 'The CBS
Wednesday Night Movies' March 1.
Also starring in the film, based on
the Barthel book, are Paul Clemens
(pictured), James Sutorius, Tom At
kins, Jacqueline Brookes, Tom Atkins
and Yuki Shimoda.
Miss Powers stars as Joan Barthel,
the freelance journalist who had
moved into the New England
community with her husband and
daughter just prior to Sept. 28, 1973.
when 18-year-old Peter Reilly
(Clemens) was taken into custody,
charged with the mutilation murder of
his mother.
A handful of Canaan citizens were
outraged at the police handling of
Peter, a quiet and kind boy with a very
passive nature that, in their opinion,
precluded his having committed so
violent a crime.
