A
TOUCH OF GLASS
The Faces of Liverpool project is a work of art designed
to capture the spirit and diversity of the city.
Actress
Cathy Tyson, star of Mona Lisa, Priest and Band of Gold, has
just become one of thirty-two people to lend their portraits
to the piece.
It
was Liverpool, of course, where Cathy spent her childhood
and formative years. She reflects on her time there as her
image is etched into glass.

ARTIST
IN RESIDENCE
To Holcombe Moor near Bury where a hairdressing husband and
wife team find out if they have what it takes to create an
abstract masterpiece and impress their style-conscious daughter.

The
Lord of the Rings |
MAPPING
MIDDLE-EARTH
It's Britain's most popular book according to the 大象传媒's The
Big Read. It's the source for the most acclaimed and profitable
movie franchise of all time. It's The Lord of the Rings, which,
according to some, owes a debt to the Ribble Valley in Lancashire.
J.R.R. Tolkien often stayed at Stonyhurst College to visit
his son who studied there for the priesthood. Did this very
real and attractive part of the world help shape fantastic
Middle-earth? Powerhouse investigates and also meets Mancunian
calligrapher, Steve Raw, the official The Lord of the Rings
mapmaker.

MY
GALLERY
If you had to fill a space with images and objects of particular
significance to your own self and life, what would you choose?
That's the question we put to actress and Shameless star,
Maxine Peake, when we asked her to play curator of her own
personal gallery.

PEER
AT MORECAMBE
There was a time when statues of victorious generals would
pop up in North West towns - maybe in the hope that the memories
of their glittering achievements would somehow brighten up
the dark days of the industrial revolution.
But
now those days are gone and public art has to find a new way
of bringing people sunshine聟
