Christ’s Fellow Professor David Reynolds and alumnus Russell Barnes (m. 1987) have teamed up again to make a series of films entitled “Summits”.

Ranging from Chamberlain and Hitler to Reagan and Gorbachev, this three-part series will air on BBC4 on Wednesdays at 9pm, starting on Wednesday 30 January, with repeats probably on Thursdays and Saturdays.

It is linked to David’s book “Summits: Six Meetings That Shaped the Twentieth Century” (Penguin). Russell’s other work includes a series of films about Darwin, written and presented by Richard Dawkins, to be screened at the end of 2008.
