Treasures of the British Library
SKY ARTS, 8.00PM
Veteran actor Jim Carter (Downton Abbey) is the final guest to the British Library, where he has to turn those magnificently stentorian tones down a notch or two before speaking. Carter examines the library’s remarkable collection of circus posters (which date back to the 18th century), listens to a few tracks from his skiffle-loving youth, and studies a stunning ninthcentury manuscript that lays out in detail the Roman invasion of Britain.
