7:12 Mary Livingston - 40 years of marine science
Mary Livingston recently retired from a 40-plus year career in marine science. Originally from the UK, Mary knew as a young girl she wanted to do "something that involves the sea". In 1976, she came to New Zealand to study for her PhD in marine zoology at Victoria University of Wellington, and the capital has been her home ever since.
Her work has taken her around the world including South America and the Antarctic. Mary spent the last 18 years of her career working for MPI’s Fisheries New Zealand.

8:05 Her Majesty's Music
The Queen's coronation, wedding, and jubilees were all filled with music. Dozens of new pieces were specially composed for these grand occasions, and some of the world's finest performers thought nothing of cancelling previous engagements in order to have a chance to play or sing for the Queen.
Jon Tolansky plays extracts from two dozen of the most important works written, played and sung for Queen Elizabeth, and talks to some of the people involved in creating and performing them. Contributors include Sir Thomas Allen, Angela Gheorghiu, Brian May and Judith Weir.
