This season introduces Cooper on the Case' where MAGI Cooper acts a detective to establish some previously unknown or little known facts. One example is the investigation of the membership of John Steinbeck (who won the Nobel Peace price for Literature).
Other episodes include: The Knights Templar: The Creation of a Myth (parts four and five); the obituary of Brigadier A. C. F. Jackson, C.V.O., C.B.E., A.D.C., as well as book reviews.
