Whole families of musicians are not exactly rare. However, it is unusual to come across one that includes not only writers and performers of music, but also an instrument maker.

When South Wales schoolteachers John and Hetty Watkins needed to get their ten-year-old son, Paul, a cello to suit his blossoming talents, they baulked at the costs involved. "We had a look at various dealers and it was obvious it was going to be very expensive," John says. "So I wondered if I could actually make one. I discovered that the Welsh School of Instrument Making was not far from where I lived, and I went along for evening classes once a week for about three years."

"After probably three or four goes with violins and violas, he had a crack at his first cello," Paul, now 28, adds. "It turned out really well. He made me another one a bit later, when he'd got the hang of it. And that's the one I used right up until a few months ago." John has since retired as a teacher to work as a full-time craftsman, and makes up to a dozen violins a year – selling one to the esteemed American player Jaime Laredo was "the icing on the cake".

Both Paul and his younger brother, Huw, were encouraged to play music from an early age. The piano came first: "As soon as I was big enough to climb up and bang the keys, that's what I did," Paul remembers. But it wasn't long before the cello beckoned. "My folks were really quite keen for me to take up the violin, because Dad, who played the viola, used to play chamber music with his mates and they needed another violin to make up a string trio. I learned it for about six weeks but didn't take to it. But I really took to the character who played the cello in Dad's group. I thought he was a very cool guy when I was six or seven. So he said he'd give me some lessons, and that really started it all off. Later, they suggested that my brother play the violin too, but he would have none of it."

"My parents were both supportive and relaxed," Huw says. "I don't think I would have responded very well to being pushed. And, rather than feeling threatened by Paul's success, I found that I had something to aspire to." Now 22, he is beginning to make his own mark as a pianist and composer.

Meanwhile, John Watkins' cello has done his elder son proud. With it, Paul won the string final of the BBC Young Musician of the Year competition. Then, at the remarkably youthful age of 20, he was appointed principal cellist of the BBC Symphony Orchestra, a position he held, still playing his father's instrument, until last year. Now, however, he has acquired a Francesco Rugeri cello, on loan from the Royal Academy of Music. "Dad's not said anything about me moving on, though recently he had the chance to run a bow across the strings of each in turn and had to admit that my new one is quite nice! I think the only thing Dad doesn't have – and may acquire after about 50 – 100 years – is the power to project right to the back of large concert halls. It will get richer with age, like my Rugeri, which is already 304 years old."

Soon he will be seen on television playing the Rugeri as the soloist in Elgar's Cello Concerto, which forms the heart of the second programme in the new series, Masterworks. "The well-known performance history doesn't affect the way I play the work," he says. "I'm always going to do it my way." But Paul won't be able to watch himself on television – the same night he is playing at the Cheltenham Festival. Nor will Huw, whose String Quartet is receiving its London premiere at the Wigmore Hall the same evening. John and Hetty will have to be diplomatic – and energetic – if they are to keep track of all their sons' musical activities over the coming weeks.

UNDERWATER WORLD

If you want to dive in clear blue waters, find rich marine life and swim over the remains thrown away by ancient sailors, the tiny island of Ustica is the place to go. This island, 60km from the Italian coast, is the site of Europe's only underwater museum. (0) D .

The clear waters attract some of the world's best underwater divers. The International Academy of Underwater Sciences, which was set up to encourage underwater exploration, is based in Ustica. (1)____.

Dr Honor Frost, a Bristish underwater archaeologist and Golden Triden winner, believes that Ustica shows that some underwater remains are best life in the surroundings where they have been preserved for centuries. (2) ____.

According to Frost, the establishment of the underwater museum has made an interesting area of sea floor, together with the objects which fell to it in antiquity, safe for future study. (3) ____

For example, it is puzzling that only iron anchors of quite a late date seem to have been lost there, despite local evidence of sea trade during a period nearly four thousand years ago, when stone anchors would have been in use. Among the anchors and other remains there are an extraordinary number of Roman millstones, which were widely traded throughout the ancient world. (4) _____.

A. Many questions remain to be answered about the museum site.

B. However, this section of the museum, although already accessible to diving visitors, still contains material of interest to researchers.

C. Made of volcanic rock, they were carried by corn ships heading from Rome to the ports of the north African coast.

D. Only here can divers explore labelled exhibits such as anchors, pots and millstones, which fell to the sea floor centuries ago.

E. This gives divers the experience of underwater archaeology without disturbing important sites.

F. This month it presented its Golden Trident awards, the underwater equivalent of the Nobel prizes, which have been awarded annually since 1960.
