Praise Cromwell and Pass the Ammunition

Sometimes today seems just too much: mid-winter, industrial disputes and the fuel crisis may seem to conspire to make the 20th century most unattractive. Some dislike it so much they take every opportunity to escape into the past and spend their Sunday afternoons at Newbury, Worcester or Edgehill re-fighting the battles of the Civil War. On a good weekend as many as 2,000 troops and 10,000 spectators turn out. The Knights and Ladies of the Round Table of Camelot prefer their escapism even further back. JEREMY JAMES and a Man Alive team go back with them all to the good old days.
