Harry’s Game and History Repeating

**On this week’s show, Sarah will be talking about the dark shadow cast upon this land as Harry and Meghan return to the UK and Peter would like to chat about the August night in 1968 when the Soviet Union crushed the Prague Spring.**   **And we’ll be opening our mailbag to discuss whether a journalist, if proved wrong, should change tack and apologise. Not that Peter has ever been proved wrong. The pair debate the reintroduction of bison and wolves into the European landscape and the sheer joy that can be found in a night sky full of stars.**  **On our reading, listening and watch list this week:**  ·      God.
