Tonight lifelong dance-lover and popular actress Dora Bryan explores the sometimes-faded glamour of Britain's old ballrooms, from the disused Co-op Ballroom in Oldham to the Ritz Ballroom in Manchester and the present-day glories of the Tower Ballroom in Blackpool. Kirsty Wark investigates the problem of an unwanted monument, built in 1968 in Peterlee, County Durham. It was originally intended to symbolise hope for the town, but the half-building, half-sculpture has now fallen into disrepair. Many local people want it to be demolished, but English Heritage has decided to list it. Lucinda Lambton gets a preview of the completed restoration work on the rich interior of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office. This temple to the might of the British Empire, displaying Victorian decoration at its most opulent and including impressive sculptures and ceilings studded with gold stars, is to be opened to the public later this year.
