Arthur der WeduwenGUEST
He is going to be a Catholic king of a very Protestant nation, and it's going to stay that way.
Arthur der WeduwenGUEST
There is actually, in 1685, a small invasion of England that lands in Dorset that's led by James, the Duke of Monmouth, an illegitimate son of Charles II, and so also a nephew of James and a cousin of both William III and Mary, which fails.
Arthur der WeduwenGUEST
And basically, the English nation backs James, and he starts his reign, actually, in a very strong position.
Arthur der WeduwenGUEST
But this doesn't last.

Nicholas CliffordNARRATOR
Just for a moment, Mrs. Thesiger began to think of early days, of which the memory was at once a pain and a reproach.
Nicholas CliffordNARRATOR
A certain little village underneath the great white horse on the Dorsetshire Downs rose with a disturbing vividness before her eyes.
Nicholas CliffordNARRATOR
She almost heard the mill stream babble by.
Nicholas CliffordNARRATOR
In that village of Sutton Points, she had herself been born, and to which she had returned, caught back again for a little while by her own country and her own youth, that Sylvia might be born there too.

Nicholas CliffordNARRATOR
You know nothing of England.
Nicholas CliffordNARRATOR
I have been thinking it all out this morning.
Nicholas CliffordNARRATOR
There is no country more beautiful or more typical than Dorsetshire.
Nicholas CliffordNARRATOR
Besides, you were born there.
Agnes Robert BaerNARRATOR
I was not asked to sympathize, having already revealed my politics, and yet the case cried out for sympathy.
Agnes Robert BaerNARRATOR
You remember my dear aunt, the good Lady Cullum, who was our Dorsetshire neighbor and tried hard to mend my ways at Kantorum.
Agnes Robert BaerNARRATOR
This poor duchess, for so she called herself, was just such another, a woman made for comfort, housewifery, and motherhood, and by no means for racing around Europe in charge of disreputable parent.
Agnes Robert BaerNARRATOR
I could picture her settled equably on a garden seat with a lapdog and needlework, blinking happily over green lawns and mildly rating an errant gardener.

Olive JonesGUEST
I wanted to paint something that looked like the sea.
Olive JonesGUEST
that I grew up with, because I grew up on the coast in Dorset, and it's just always been such a special place for me, and seeing as it was a kind of, you know...
Olive JonesGUEST
This was a representation of myself, so,
Simon RimmerHOST
yeah.
AdrianHOST
Yeah, you're an outsider.
AdrianHOST
And physically, too, Karna is totally isolated down in this freezing landscape of Dorset, just miles and miles away from the shifting cultural realities of 1960s London.

AdrianHOST
Legal protection, basically.
ClaraHOST
Pretty much.
ClaraHOST
Though it is heavily and quite obviously inspired by Sherbourne School down in Dorset.
AdrianHOST
Right.
PJ LopezHOST
So I used to live near a place that was, well, I say near a place, but there was a place in Kent called Gillingham.
PJ LopezHOST
And it's spelled exactly the same way as the place you went to in Dorset.
PJ LopezHOST
And how's that pronounced?
Hannah MurrayHOST
Gillingham.
10 MINS LATER
PJ LopezHOST
Oh, well, I'll take it back then.
Hannah MurrayHOST
No. No.
Hannah MurrayHOST
I took the train or multiple trains then from Ideas Fest to Dorset to go

And
Dan KieranHOST

Dan KieranHOST
And those who listen to the show regularly will know that I came here last year and had extraordinary conversations.
Dan KieranHOST
Jonathan Rosen, Ed Haddon, Nick Ashley Cooper, the Earl.
