BBC4 has some excellent programmes about maps at the moment. The heavier-hitting one is Maps: Power, Plunder and Possession. Two parts have aired so far, but I've only had time to watch one.
There's another four-partner which went out last week (only 3 days left on iPlayer), which I've only seen two of, called The Beauty of Maps. The first was on the Hereford Mappa Mundi and was a bit disappointing because it didn't tell me anything I didn't already know, but had a lovely digital reconstruction at the end which made it all worth it. The other was on Dutch maps of the 17th century, and that was a lot more interesting (ie new to me).
In other news, there's not much other news. I am, as always using about 110% of the energy I've got, so I feel like I'm doing nothing but working, going to the gym and sleeping. I even failed to have a break from work - I was due to have a day's leave on Monday but then someone else rang in sick, so I ended up in work for the afternoon anyway. My bank holiday is starting half a day early as a result.
