Max Pearson presents a collection of the week's Witness History interviews from the BBC World Service.
Our guest is Darja Dankina, who's a palaeontologist from the Natures Research Centre in Vilnius, Lithuania.
We start with the discovery of the largest dinosaur ever, uncovered by a shepherd on a ranch in Argentina in 2012.
Then, we hear from the daughter of Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, who created children's show Thunderbirds in 1965.
Plus, the impeachment of US President Clinton in 1999.
How an American historical document typed out on a university computer in 1971 played a vital role in the digital revolution of electronic books.
Also, Colonel Gaddafi’s son being signed to Italy’s top football league in 2003.
Finally, we use BBC archive to hear how children's book character Miffy was created in 1955. In the programme Dick Bruna reads from Miffy Goes Flying with permission from Mercis Publishing bv.
