Taking more than two years from conception to release Stevie Wonder's classic 1976 double-album 'Songs In The Key Of Life' is now generally accepted as his finest creative hour in an enduring 35-year recording career that has been filled with many other highlights. The remarkable story of Wonder's 'Songs In The Key Of Life' project is told here. Stevie himself reminisces about the inspiration behind the album - It was a challenge doing an album that was related to life - and there are also contributions from Berry Gordy the founder and father figure of Motown Records Quincy Jones Herbie Hancock and lyrcist Gary Byrd among many others. In addition there is unique reunion of musicians who played on the original album sessions. Certainly 'Songs In The Key Of Life' is a truly remarkable album. Its story is vividly related in this 'Classic Album' programme including as a celebratory re-creation twenty years on of 'I Wish' and 'Sir Duke' with the original musicians who played on the session.

Electric trams first appeared in Great Britain at the end of the 19th century. Horse- drawn tramcars had been around since the late 1870s, but it was with the development of electric traction that tramcars really came into their own. Single-deck trams, then double-deck open trams and later open-balcony trams became a familiar sight around the British Isles. Towns and Cities such as Glasgow, Sheffield, Blackpool, Southampton, Leicester, Leeds, Cardiff and London had extensive tramway systems. But many systems were damaged in the Second World War, just as the trolleybus was gaining popularity, and the tram systems were gradually scrapped. Fortunately, many examples of tramcars are persevered today, either in museums or in active service and this programme travels back in time to the height of tramcars popularity. We visit various locations to find some of the best examples of restored trams from Sheffield, to Blackpool and from Glasgow to Crich Tramway Village in Derbyshire.
