  • Born and Bred 7 Clive Swift
    Clive Swift Clive Swift is Reverend Brewer “Brewer lives life to the full,” explains Swift.“He knows all about the suffering and sadness in the world, and this makes him all the more determined to enjoy life. He likes a drink or two, follows the horses and dabbles in a bit of gambling, even winning a bob or two on occasion! He’s never married but he’s certainly had a few girlfriends, as he’s a bit of a ladies man. But the Bishop seems to know something about Brewer’s behaviour which is a cause for concern.” Reverend Brewer has seen a lot of life, so whenever anyone is in trouble or has a problem they go to him. “Brewer’s very sympathetic and wants life to be better for everyone. He would have been born towards the end of the 19th century and would have survived two world wars. He’s got lots of memories of the wars and is likely to have served in some capacity.” And he’s a popular resident in the village:“I think the character that Brewer is closest to is Mr Boynton, the shopkeeper.They are similar in age, although Boynton is self-educated whereas Brewer would have gone to university. But I think Brewer is sometimes a little bit hard on Wilf, the station- master, and in return Wilf doesn’t trust Brewer Clive Swift when they’re playing cards! Formerly married to writer Margaret Drabble, with whom he has three children – one of whom, “Brewer also has a great deal of respect for Arthur Joe, is a presenter on Gardener’s World.

There is not a new season to • share with you this month, which reminds me of a call I • took from a viewer recently. The viewer was disappointed by the news that recent series on Masterpiece would not be returning for a second season, with Beecham House being another example of this scenario. PBS and Masterpiece sign on to series in development early on. This mostly out of necessity because of the highly competi- tive market to acquire quality dramas and mysteries. In most cases, these series premiere across the pond ahead of the planned broadcast here. This month on Masterpiece we welcome a remake. All Creatures Great and Small begins January 10. The series is based on the books of James Alfred Wight, published under the pen name James Herriot. This is not the first JAN. 10 • 9pm adaptation that has broadcast on WITF.

    Press Contacts: Chelsey Saatkamp, WNET, 212-560-4905, [email protected] Websites: http://www.pbs.org/secrets , http://www.facebook.com/SecretsoftheDead , @secretspbs #SecretsDeadPBS Secrets of the Dead: Hannibal in the Alps Premieres Tuesday, April 10 at 8-9 p.m. on PBS (check local listings) Streams April 11 via pbs.org/secrets and PBS apps Synopsis Hannibal, one of history’s most famous generals, achieved what the Romans thought to be impossible. With a vast army of 30,000 troops, 15,000 horses and 37 war elephants, he crossed the mighty Alps in only 16 days to launch an attack on Rome from the north. For more than 2,000 years, nobody has been able to prove which of the four possible routes Hannibal took across the Alps, and no physical evidence of Hannibal’s army has ever been found…until now. In Secrets of the Dead: Hannibal in the Alps , a team of experts – explorers, archaeologists, and scientists - combine state-of-the-art technology, ancient texts, and a recreation of the route itself to prove conclusively where Hannibal’s army made it across the Alps - and exactly how and where he did it. Notable Talent: Dr. Eve MacDonald, historian and Hannibal expert Dr. Tori Herridge, elephant expert Bill Mahaney, lead scientist and geologist Stephanie Carter, Secrets of the Dead executive producer Noteworthy Facts • The famous crossing of the Alps occurred in 218 BC, a period when Carthage and Rome were competing for world dominance. Hannibal traversed the mountains-- once thought uncrossable--with a force of more than 30,000 soldiers, 15,000 cavalry and most famous of all - 37 elephants.

  • BRIEFING 'Assessment of Ten Years of Swedish and Dutch Policies on Prostitution' the Netherlands1
    BRIEFING ‘Assessment of ten years of Swedish and Dutch policies on prostitution’ August 2012 The Netherlands1 In 1 October 2000, the Netherlands lifted the ban on brothels of 1911. Since then, several studies from the Scientific Research and Documentation Centre of the Ministry of Justice (WODC) and from the national police force (KLPD) have studied the impact of the decriminalization of procuring in the Netherlands. 1- The situation of persons in prostitution has worsened. The study ‘Daalder’2 carried out for the Ministry of Justice unveils that: • “There has been no significant improvement of the situation of persons in prostitution”. • “The prostitutes’ emotional well-being is now lower than in 2001 on all measured aspects”. • “The use of sedatives has increased”. • Options for leaving the industry were in high demand, while only 6% of municipalities offer assistance. 2- 50% to 90% of the women in licensed prostitution “work involuntarily”. These data were unveiled in 2008 by the national police force (KLPD) in a study on the sector of legalized prostitution entitled “Keeping up appearances”.3 In this study, the Dutch national police force gives a very worrying assessment of the law decriminalizing procuring. Direct cause of the study is the Sneep-case, where two Turkish-German procurers, together with 30 accomplices, were condemned for exploitation of and violence against more than 100 women in the Netherlands, in Germany and in Belgium. What is striking is that all the women, who have been exploited with extreme violence in the Netherlands, were in the legal, licensed, taxpaying and State sanctioned brothels. In Amsterdam, according to the national police, it is estimated that there are 8000 women in window prostitution; at least 4000 of them would then be exploited and abused every year.
