Transcript of Passion, power, fury, and motherhood intertwine...
As the fi rst episode of Victoria, Season 2, on Masterpiece begins, Victoria is caring for
her child who is now one month old. As Queen and as a woman, she appears to have it
all — a devoted husband, a family, and a prestigious career heading the most important
country in the world — but does she really? “To be a queen, I must rule, yet to be a wife,
it seems I must submit,” she says wistfully.
Jenna Coleman reprises her role as Victoria, the passionate, impulsive, and beautiful
young woman with a will of iron. Tom Hughes continues in his role of Prince Albert, and
Diana Rigg (Olenna Tyrell, Game of Thrones; Emma Peel, The Avengers) joins the cast
as the queen’s new confi dant, the formidable Duchess of Buccleuch.
Victoria is coming to grips with being a mother. She hadn’t enjoyed
being pregnant and is having diffi culty bonding with the baby, who she has
named Victoria. The men in her life are treating her like an invalid, but she
overrides their wishes and insists on returning to her royal duties sooner
than expected.
She faces tremendous challenges both in England and abroad. Thousands of
British soldiers are risking their lives in the First Anglo-Afghan War. At home, cities are
overcrowded, poverty is rampant, unemployment is high, and the people are not happy with
their Queen. But no one will tell Victoria what is really going on because they feel she needs
protecting. Only the Duke of Wellington will tell her the truth.
You will see power battles between Victoria and Albert, both politically and romantically.
They are madly in love, yet they fi ght a lot. Victoria fl ies off the handle in fi ts of rage and
passion; whereas Albert remains calmer and more rational.
To make matters worse, Albert starts spending a lot of time with an attractive lady
mathematician, Ada Lovelace (Emerald Fennell, Call the Midwife). Intellectually, Albert and
Ada have a lot in common. Victoria is jealous and she frets that her clothes are getting
tight. Is she gaining weight? Could it be that she is pregnant again, so soon?
A crisis compels Albert to return to Germany, and the
couple is separated for the fi rst time in their marriage. What
terrible family secret does he learn about in Coburg that
will torment Albert for years? Why do Victoria and
Albert travel to France? How will Victoria handle
the famine in Ireland? As the episodes
unfold, all will be revealed.

American Experience presents Into the
Amazon and The Secret of Tuxedo Park —
two very different programs that explore the
lives of men who made history.
In 1913, President Theodore Roosevelt
and Candido Rondon, the intrepid explorer
from Brazil, traveled into the heart of the
South American rainforest to chart an
unexplored tributary of the Amazon.
Roosevelt, once a sickly child who was
able to overcome his health problems,
wanted to test himself against nature. What
was anticipated to be a relatively tranquil
journey turned out to be an extreme test of
courage and character.
Over eight weeks, the ill-equipped
expedition navigated deadly rapids in crude
dugout canoes. The men became hungry,
and exhausted, and they were forced
to carry heavy canoes long distances.
Roosevelt injured his leg, which caused
him to fall ill with tropical
fever. He suffered
a fever that rose to 103ºF and bouts of
delirium, and he begged to be left behind.
They would not leave him and he survived
the trip, but it affected his health for the rest
of his life.
The Secret of Tuxedo Park reveals the
little-known details of the life of Alfred Lee
Loomis and his mission to gather the most
visionary scientifi c minds of the twentieth
century, including Albert Einstein, Werner
Heisenberg, Niels Bohr, Enrico Fermi, and
others, at his state-of-the-art laboratory in
Tuxedo Park, New York, in the late 1930s.
There, this group of scientists
researched new high-power
radar detection systems
that helped defeat the
Germans in World War II.
Into the Amazon airs Tuesday, January 9, at 8 p.m. and The Secret of Tuxedo Park airs Tuesday, January 16, at 8 p.m.

2 Insider News Words from the President…
Dear Friends of KLRN,
It is a new year and we have many
great things planned for our community
on-air, online, and in the community.
Victoria returns to KLRN for a second

the lives of people whose paths once
crossed and reunions ensue, and NOVA

We’llMeetAgain
Seventy-two years is a very long time
to wait to be reunited with someone you
care deeply about. That’s how long it was
before childhood friends Reiko Nagumo
and Mary Peters met again. Reiko was a
young Japanese-American girl interned
in 1942, and Mary helped her during her
darkest hours.
This is one of the remarkable stories that
you’ll see during the new six-part series,
We’ll Meet Again, executive produced and
reported by Ann Curry, journalist and former
NBC News anchor. The program explores
pivotal moments in history and the powerful
bonds that formed among people whose
lives intersected in meaningful ways.
Searching
for clues in
marriage
records, and
war and immigration documents, and
combing archives to reunite those now
separated by time and distance, Curry and
her team research and make contacts until
they fi nd the people they are looking for.
“This series helps people separated by
confl ict, war, and humanitarian disasters
fi nd each other again and reveals untold
stories of courage, survival, friendship, and
even love,” says Curry.
Airs Tuesdays at 7 p.m., starting January 23.

Tony Bennett: The Library of Congress
Gershwin Prize will honor the 90-year-old
singer for his outstanding achievements
in the fi eld of popular song. He is the
tenth recipient of this prestigious award.
The program will feature performances
and accolades from a star-studded
lineup of his friends including Josh
Groban, Michael Feinstein, Sheryl Crow,
and others.
In announcing the award, Librarian
of Congress Carla Hayden said, “Tony
Bennett is one of the most accomplished
and beloved artists of our time. His
staying power is a testament to the
enduring appeal of the Great American
Songbook the Gershwins helped write,
and his ability to collaborate with new
generations of music icons has been a
gift to music lovers of all ages.”
In speaking of the award, Bennett said,
“I am very proud that one of the earliest
records I ever made was a song written
by the Gershwins, as their songwriting
mastery was so exceptional. To be
receiving an award that was named in
their honor is one of the greatest thrills
of my career.”

TONY BENNETT Receives the Library of Congress
Gershwin Prize
Conspiracies, double-crossings, it was terrifying. Queen Elizabeth’s
Secret Agents is the gripping three-part true story of Queen Elizabeth I
who reigned for more than 40 years from 1558 until 1603.
One of Elizabeth’s fi rst actions as queen was to establish an English
Protestant church and become the Supreme Governor. Twelve years into
her reign, the Pope declared her a heretic, which in the hearts of
England’s Catholics gave them permission to kill her.
The Queen relied heavily on William and Robert Cecil —
the father and son team had the duty of protecting the
Queen and country. They established a huge espionage
network, which became England’s fi rst secret service.
As a result of a tip, William Cecil caught a courier
carrying coded letters that revealed a plot to
assassinate Elizabeth and install her cousin Mary
Queen of Scots on the English throne.
The sting that Cecil creates is worthy of the
most elaborate spy thrillers. You may have to
keep reminding yourself, this really happened
many years ago.

While the play A Raisin in the Sun is widely known and universally seen as a groundbreaking work of
art, much less is known about its creator, Lorraine Hansberry.
Filmmaker Tracy Heather Strain and American Masters are changing that. The new feature-length
documentary Lorraine Hansberry: Sighted Eyes/Feeling Heart presents an intimate portrait of the artist,
writer, activist, rebel, and visionary.
You’ll meet her as a child growing up in Chicago in the 1930s, and follow her journey as she becomes
a radical journalist in Harlem in the 1950s and an activist infl uential in the social and political movements
of her era.
“She was reaching into the essence of who we were, who we are, where we came from,” says Sidney
Poitier, who starred in the fi lm version of A Raisin in the Sun and is one of the people interviewed.
The documentary brilliantly blends the personal memories of Hansberry from Ruby Dee, Harry
Belafonte, Louis Gossett Jr., friends, and family members with a remarkable collection of archival footage,
home movies, rare photos, and unpublished documents.
Visit KLRN.org/events to learn about a preview screening of this fi lm.
