A guest that appeared in Words and Music in late October was Dr Alice Roberts

Alice  studied medicine and anatomy at Cardiff University qualifying in 1997

She worked as a junior doctor in South Wales before moving to Bristol University where she taught anatomy on the medical course for over 10 years.  Alice is fascinated by biological anthropology and in what ancient skeletons can tell us about human evolution.

Alice is at home whether she is on an archaeological dig or as a presenter for the BBC programme ‘Digging for Britain’.  Alice Roberts first  appeared on television as a bone expert on Channel 4’s archaeological Time Team.

Alice also ventured into radio, presenting ‘Costing The Earth on Radio 4 with a host of other Radio 4 programmes two other television series ‘Don’t Die Young’ and ‘The Incredible Human Journey’ gave us an insight into the human body and then the philosophical question of all, where did the first human beings originate from.

The Media Archive for Central England (MACE), Has project which is called FULL CIRCLE They are looking for local community, midlands related, moving film image material to show a record of Midlands life in the community as it was years ago.

They may be old film reels or cinematic film that astonishingly that have been found in attics or they may have just been passed down by other members of the family.

This film footage could also be home movies that historically would represent life in the Midlands and should be preserved for the enjoyment of future generations.
