Episode 1

Mary Beard kicks off the series by thinking about how we remember - not just as individuals, but as a society and a nation. As we emerge from a year of tragedy and uncertainty, she will be joined by David Adjaye, one of the world's most celebrated architects, writer Elif Shafak, artists Edmund de Waal and Cornelia Parker, poet Lemn Sissay and actor Jane Horrocks to discuss what we will choose to remember and what to forget. From Yorkshire to London’s Trafalgar Square, Mary brings us ideas and visual treats, old and new.
