ON TRACK Clare Balding

YESTERDAY, 8pm Did suffragette Emily Davison intend to throw herself beneath King George V’s horse at the 1913 Epsom Derby?

This documentary re-examines the life and infamous death of Davison, applying new forensic techniques to the surviving footage of that day.

Clare Balding takes the reins, piecing together the archive history, as well as interviewing various experts about the suffrage movement and the life of Davison.

This is largely an interesting trot through a fascinating time, but there are also one or two fresh discoveries made along the way.
