SAT SAT 00:30 Book of the Week b00yrg1l (Listen) SAT To a Mountain in Tibet, Episode 5 SAT SAT "By trekkers' standards our party is small and swift: a SAT guide, a cook, a horse-man, myself. We move scattered above SAT the river, while loan traders pass us the other way, leading SAT their stocky horse and mule-trains between lonely villages. SAT They look fierce and open, and laughingly meet your eyes. SAT The delicacy of the plains has gone..." SAT SAT Renowned travel writer Colin Thubron is about to climb Mount SAT Kailas in Tibet, one of the holiest places in the world and SAT hardly visited by westerners. Its slopes are rugged, SAT glacial, and peopled by the toughest types alive. It'Its SAT slopes are also full of stories: Hindu and Buddhist tales of SAT struggle, devotion and intrigue. But on from these lower SAT reaches, Kailas's peak rises sacrosanct. Forbiddingly SAT distant. And it is here that Thubron casts his gaze, then SAT walks towards, as listeners can discover in his new account. SAT SAT 5.Near the top of Mt Kailas, the air thins, the pilgrims SAT cluster, and there is a cry of 'victory to the gods'... SAT SAT Read by Stephen Boxer.

SAT Broadcast in 1997, the so-called docusoap Driving School was SAT a hit with BBC viewers, commanding audiences of up to 12 SAT million. In the course of its six-week run, it made a star SAT of Cardiff cleaner, Maureen who had failed her test six SAT times and - in her - spawned, arguably, Britain's first SAT "reality television" celebrity. SAT SAT Launching a new genre of TV wasn't though in the mind of the SAT programme commissioner who in fact was looking for a SAT relatively cheap programme to fill a gap in the evening SAT schedule for which drama was considered too expensive. Yet SAT without realising it, with Driving School Alan Yentob had SAT commissioned a TV hit and in its own way the first in a new SAT style of TV programming - the 'docusoap'. SAT SAT Week after week viewers watched to see if Maureen and her SAT fellow learners would ever pass their driving test as their SAT daily travails were edited into a gripping reality drama. SAT SAT Paul Jackson dissects how this hit series was made with the SAT producers and directors behind it and what it tells us of SAT the era that spawned it...

Claire Harry SAT SAT Directed by Sasha Yevtushenko SAT Produced by Claire Grove SAT SAT 15:30 The Foghorn: A Celebration b00yqp5z (Listen) SAT Peter Curran celebrates the humble foghorn's powerful role SAT in music, literature and film. SAT SAT The foghorn was invented in 1855 by Robert Foulis, a SAT Scotsman living in Canada who heard the low notes (but not SAT the high notes) of his daughter's piano playing whist SAT walking far from the family's fog-shrouded coastal cottage, SAT thus inspiring the first steam powered fog horn. But beyond SAT the sea, it's 'whale-like' sound has inspired artists, SAT writers and musicians to use the foghorn both as symbol and SAT instrument. SAT SAT Peter Curran hears from foghorn composer of 'Maritime Rites' SAT Alvin Curran, Jason Gorski, aka The Fogmaster, who used to SAT conduct guerrilla foghorn concerts in the Bay Area of SAT California, and takes a tour of Portland Bill lighthouse in SAT Dorset, with keeper Larry Walker, taking the opportunity to SAT set off an almighty Victorian foghorn. He also joins James SAT Bond film music and future 2012 Olympic theme music composer SAT David Arnold, who tries to digitally recreate the foghorn's SAT cry, and Dr Harry Witchel, who analyses Peter's yearn for SAT the sound as a child. SAT SAT Producer: Sara Jane Hall.

Presented by Evan Davis, SAT The Bottom Line cuts through confusion, statistics and spin SAT to present a clearer view of the business world, through SAT discussion with people running leading and emerging SAT companies. SAT SAT This week, Evan's top business guests hail from retail and SAT advertising. They swap thoughts on consumer research. SAT Companies spend money to find out how their customers spend SAT theirs, but do they learn anything useful? SAT SAT They also debate what purpose business awards serve. Can SAT they actually help a company be more successful? SAT SAT Evan is joined in the studio by Ian Cheshire, chief SAT executive of home improvement retail company Kingfisher. And SAT from the world of advertising, Cilla Snowball, group chief SAT executive and chairman of Abbott Mead Vickers BBDO, and SAT David Jones, global chief executive of Havas Worldwide.

SAT SAT 20:00 Archive on 4 b00yw5tv (Listen) SAT The Last of the International Brigaders SAT SAT The Spanish Civil War began in 1936, for a civil war SAT constrained entirely within the boundaries of one country, SAT the monuments to the fallen are spread across a remarkably SAT high number of nations. That's because of the International SAT Brigade - whose volunteers travelled across the globe to SAT join the fight against fascism. This programme recounts the SAT events of that civil war through new interviews with the SAT last remaining British Brigaders and archive interviews with SAT many others. SAT SAT From the defence of Madrid to the Battle of Jarama and on to SAT the Ebro River we hear from the men and women who were SAT there. Jack Edwards served with the International Brigade SAT from the beginning, he was wounded in the battle of Jarama. SAT After a period of convalescence he carried on fighting until SAT he and all the other Brigaders were ordered out of Spain in SAT 1939. Paddy Cochrane, an ambulance driver with the SAT International Brigade, ferried many a wounded soldier from SAT the battle fields until wounded himself by a grenade. Both SAT Jack and Paddy were politically active young men who SAT believed that fighting Franco was the only way to stop the SAT fascist movement from taking over Britain. Thomas Watters, SAT of the Scottish Ambulance Unit, drove from Scotland with a SAT unit of ambulances. As both a driver and a first aider SAT Thomas's motives for volunteering were purely humanitarian. SAT SAT With these new interviews, and many archive interviews, we SAT cover the events in Spain from the human, day to day SAT perspective. Richard Baxell, historian and author talks us SAT through the political side of events. And Professor Paul SAT Preston, of the International History department at the LSE, SAT gives us a perspective of events in Europe running up to the SAT outbreak of the civil war and details of the motives of SAT Franco. SAT SAT We also look at how the volunteers were regarded by others. SAT Were they terrorists, idealists, atheists determined to SAT undermine Catholic Spain or heroes, many of whom gave of SAT their lives to fight in what some have called the first SAT battle of World War II. What of today? Are there still young SAT men and women volunteering for causes that the mass populous SAT may not agree with? SAT SAT Presenter: D J Taylor SAT New Interviewees: Richard Baxell, Professor Paul Preston, SAT Jack Edwards, Paddy Cochrane and Thomas Watters. SAT Produced by: Angela Sherwin.

SAT SAT 22:15 Moral Maze b00yqvk2 (Listen) SAT David Cameron this week announced plans that will completely SAT change public services, bringing in a "presumption" that SAT charities are just as able to run schools, hospitals and SAT welfare services as the state. He wants a massive shift from SAT provision funded by the taxpayer to services supplied by SAT volunteers and funded by philanthropy. But is this a proper SAT role for charities to perform? Is it right that levels of SAT public donation to this or that good cause should set SAT priorities that used to be weighed up by SAT democratically-elected MPs and councils? SAT SAT And as charities become more professional and more SAT competitive in their fund-raising, are they forgetting their SAT place? Manchester, among many other local councils, has SAT brought in bye-laws to control high-street 'chuggers' (short SAT for 'charity muggers') who allegedly annoy shoppers. SAT Research shows that the proportion of national income given SAT to charity has stubbornly failed to increase despite all the SAT efforts of some of the 'big boys', who SAT have bosses on six-figure salaries. SAT SAT Charities already run schools and have a major role in the SAT provision of housing, welfare and amenities. NSPCC and RSPCA SAT inspectors are taking on the role of the police in cases of SAT alleged child-abuse and cruelty to animals. Does the SAT protection of birds really need all that money? Is cancer SAT research really more important than all the other kinds of SAT medical research put together? Are we heading for a national SAT system of resource-allocation based on nothing more SAT objective than tear-jerking adverts and pester-power? Has SAT the 'third sector' got out of hand? SAT SAT Is this, as Sir Stephen Bubb of ACEVO has written, "an SAT exciting opportunity for the third sector to play a far SAT greater role in delivering care and promoting the citizen's SAT voice..." - or will giving more power to charities lead to SAT injustice and unfairness, to responsibility without SAT accountability? SAT SAT Debate chaired by Michael Buerk with Michael Portillo, SAT Melanie Phillips, Claire Fox and Matthew Taylor. SAT SAT 23:00 The 3rd Degree b00yqhrp (Listen) SAT Southampton SAT SAT Coming this week from the University of Southampton, host SAT Steve Punt quizzes Biology students and Mathematics dons SAT alike on dachshunds, Dante, and Doctor Who. So if you've SAT ever wondered whether "The Golgi Apparatus" refers to part SAT of a eukaryotic cell or is merely a little-read Robert SAT Ludlum novel then this is the show for you. SAT SAT "The 3rd Degree" is a funny, lively and dynamic new quiz SAT show aimed at cultivating the next generation of Radio 4 SAT listeners whilst delighting the current ones. It's recorded SAT on location at a different University each week, and it pits SAT three Undergraduates against three of their Professors in a SAT genuinely original and fresh take on an academic quiz. Being SAT a Radio 4 programme, it of course meets the most stringent SAT standards of academic rigour - but with lots of facts and SAT jokes thrown in for good measure. SAT SAT Together with host Steve Punt, the show tours the (sometimes SAT posh, sometimes murky, but always welcoming!) Union SAT buildings, cafés and lecture halls of six universities SAT across the UK. SAT SAT The rounds vary between Specialist Subjects and General SAT Knowledge, quickfire bell-and-buzzer rounds and the SAT 'Highbrow & Lowbrow' round cunningly devised to test not SAT only the students' knowledge of current affairs, history, SAT languages and science, but also their Professors' awareness SAT of television, film, and Lady Gaga... In addition, the SAT Head-to-Head rounds, in which students take on their SAT Professors in their own subjects, were particularly lively, SAT and offered plenty of scope for mild embarrassment on both SAT sides... SAT SAT The resulting show is funny, fresh, and not a little bit SAT surprising, with a truly varied range of scores, friendly SAT rivalry, and moments where students wished they had more SAT than just glanced at that reading list... SAT SAT Producer: David Tyler SAT A Pozzitive production for BBC Radio 4. SAT SAT 23:30 Poetry Please b00yn83s (Listen) SAT Roger McGough with a magical mix of poetry requests, SAT including work by Hilaire Belloc, DH Lawrence and Imtiaz SAT Dharker. The readers are John Sessions and Catherine Cusack. SAT Imtiaz Dharker also joins the programme to read her own poem SAT about the miraculous daily arrival of thousands of tiffin SAT boxes to their correct destinations in the city of Mumbai. SAT There's a mesmerising rendition from 1932 of The Tarantella SAT by Hilaire Belloc (which many will know from its opening SAT refrain of 'Do you remember an inn, Miranda?') Also, Roger SAT reads one of his own most well liked poems 'At Lunchtime', SAT and DH Lawrence considers the more sedentary affairs of SAT tortoises. SAT Producer: Sarah Langan.

David Attenborough tells us New Zealand had several SUN species of flightless bird living across the islands, all of SUN which are now extinct, bar one. The Kiwi has become one of SUN those species iconic of the country, like the Koala to SUN Australia, the Giraffe to Africa and the Alpaca to South SUN America. Historically, New Zealand didn't have ground SUN predators such as wild cats and stoats - which allowed birds SUN to exploit living on the ground. Being flightless in New SUN Zealand was a good way to be a bird. David Attenborough SUN filmed Kiwis and in this Life Story he muses on the niche SUN the Kiwi occupies on the ground. He argues the Kiwi behaves SUN more like a mammal than a bird, but what mammal do you SUN think, in Attenborough's view, the Kiwi most resembles?

SUN SUN A long-time human rights campaigner, she's spent years SUN immersing herself in the problems of people on the margins SUN of society. During the time she was Chief Inspector, the SUN prison population expanded hugely. "The thing that saddened SUN me greatly is that our prisons became better places but they SUN also became places that soaked up a lot of money and into SUN which we put a lot of people. My view is a lot of that money SUN could have been better spent doing things that stopped SUN people getting there in the first place and therefore SUN prevented there being victims of crime."

SUN SUN 13:30 Mind Changers b00yw6km (Listen) SUN Series 5, Henri Tajfel's Minimal Groups SUN SUN Henri Tajfel's interest in identity and group prejudice was SUN sparked by his own experiences as a Polish Jew during the SUN Second World War. As Professor of Social Psychology at SUN Bristol university he developed a series of experiments SUN known as the Minimal Group Studies, the purpose of which was SUN to establish the minimum basis on which people could be made SUN to identify with their own group and show bias against SUN another. SUN SUN Claudia Hammond re-visits the Minimal Group Studies of 1971, SUN where Tajfel and his collaborators got boys at a SUN comprehensive school to view abstract paintings and then SUN assigned them to the 'Klee' group or the 'Kandinsky' group, SUN apparently because of the preferences they declared, but in SUN fact entirely at random. Even though the boys didn't know SUN who else was allocated to their group, they consistently SUN awarded more points to their own group than to the other. So SUN even though who belonged to which group was meaningless, SUN they always tended to favour their own. SUN SUN This proved to be the first step towards Social Identity SUN Theory, as developed by Henri Tajfel and John Turner, which SUN stressed that our identification with groups varies SUN according to how significant that group is at the time: if SUN we're at war our national identity is important, at a SUN football match it's our team identity that's to the fore... SUN SUN Tajfel died in 1982, but his legacy can be seen in the work SUN many of his former students continue in the same field. SUN Claudia Hammond hears from four of them, including Michael SUN Billig - Professor of Social Sciences at Loughborough SUN University, who helped run the 1971 studies, Miles Hewstone, SUN Rupert Brown and Steve Reicher, Professors of Social SUN Psychology at Oxford, Sussex and St Andrews respectively.

SUN SUN 14:45 Genius Unrecognised b00yy5z2 (Listen) SUN Antoni van Leeuwenhoek SUN SUN As blue-sky scientific research is cut back in favour of SUN 'practical' technological development, this series looks at SUN the genesis of five inventions that define our world today. SUN These discoveries were born in obscurity and ignored - SUN sometimes for a century or more. They were ideas that were SUN ahead of their time. In this series Tony Hill, Director of SUN Manchester's Museum of Science and Industry honours the SUN scientists who revolutionised microscopic technology, SUN electrical power, air navigation, gyroscopic travel and SUN digital sound. In their day they were dismissed as blue-sky SUN time-wasters but now we recognise their genius. SUN SUN EPISODE 1 SUN SUN ANTONY VAN LEEUWENHOEK (1632-1723) SUN This is the story of a 17th century draper and amateur SUN scientist from Holland who was ridiculed by some of London's SUN finest minds when he said he had seen "animalcules" through SUN his home-made microscope. They laughed at his description of SUN millions of creatures living in water. In fact he had SUN invented a more powerful microscope than any existing, and SUN the creatures he was seeing were bacteria and protozoa. SUN Recorded at the Royal Society in London where in 1981 SUN biologist (and broadcaster) Brian J. Ford discovered Van SUN Leeuwenhoek's original specimens hidden among his papers.

SUN SUN The Orange Book, published in 2004, is a collection of SUN political essays by leading Liberal Democrats. Although the SUN writers come from a range of viewpoints, the book has been SUN seen as an attempt by party right wingers to reclaim the SUN party's economic liberal origins in the nineteenth century SUN and give it a new modern emphasis. But for some leading SUN Liberal Democrats these ideas are now closer to tenets of SUN Conservative thought. So will the Orange Bookers bind the SUN coalition ever closer together or lead to fractures and even SUN splits in Liberal Democrat ranks? SUN SUN Edward Stourton talks to one of the leading Orange Book SUN Liberal Democrats, David Laws MP, about the philosophy SUN behind the book and why they were so keen to publish it. He SUN discusses the consequences for the party of the gap which SUN has now emerged between public perceptions of where the SUN party stands on major issues and where its leadership's SUN inclinations lie. And he discusses what the longer-term SUN implications of the Orange Bookers' relationship with David SUN Cameron's Conservatives will be. SUN SUN Among those he talks to are Baroness Williams of Crosby; the SUN former Conservative Shadow Home Secretary, The Rt. Hon. SUN David Davis, MP; the historian and newly-elected Labour MP, SUN Tristram Hunt; the expert on political leadership, Professor SUN Peter Clarke; and the former Liberal Democrat policy SUN director and Orange Book sceptic, Richard Grayson.

MON MON The appeal of the costume drama MON MON The current adaptation of Winifred Holtby’s South Riding is MON currently drawing audiences to their screens but far from MON bonnets and bows it’s full of the gritty realism of the MON depression of the 1930’s and the traumatic effects of the MON First World War. Audience figures show that more women than MON men watch costume dramas so what is it that makes them MON popular. Jane speaks to the biographer and historian MON Kathryn Hughes. MON MON How do we stop future generations of girls from hating their MON bodies? MON MON The Endangered Species International Summit set up by the MON psychotherapist Susie Orbach, seeks to challenge the culture MON that believes teaches girls and women to hate their own MON bodies. So how much of a problem is this and what if MON anything should be done to combat the issue? Susie speaks to MON Jane about her concerns and we hear from writer, Justine MON Picardie, Fashion columnist for the Telegraph and Gemma MON Hallatt, an advocate for Girl Guiding UK. MON MON Bedpans and Bobby Socks - the nurses adventure MON MON In the late 1950s a group of five British and Irish nurses MON met while working at a hospital in Cleveland, Ohio. They MON set off on an adventurous American road-trip that took them MON across the states - from Alaska to Hawaii - and then down to MON Mexico. They travelled tens of thousands of miles in their MON car, affectionately named ‘flatus’, with luggage piled high MON on a roof-rack and a pair of stag antlers on the front! MON Along the way they took jobs from nursing to nut picking MON cocktail waitresses and selling bibles. Two of them, Gwenda MON Gofton and Pat Small, join Jane to recount some of their MON adventures. MON MON Bedpans and Bobby Socks - Five British nurses on the MON American Road Trip of a Lifetime, by Barbara Fox and Gwenda MON Gofton, is published by Little Brown on 3rd March. MON MON Jasmin Darznik MON MON Jasmin Darznik’s family left Iran for the US when she was a MON young child. Growing up as an American, she had a tense MON relationship with her mother, who used to threaten to go MON back to her ‘good daughter’ in Tehran whenever Jasmine MON clashed with the strict, Iranian upbringing her mother tried MON to impose. Jasmine always thought the ‘good daughter’ was a MON fiction invented by her mother to keep her in line. But MON then, in her early 20s, Jasmine found an old photo of her MON mother as a child bride back in Iran, and a life story she MON knew nothing about began to unfold. Jasmin Darzanik tells MON Jane about the story behind her book ‘The Good Daughter’. MON MON Jasmin Darznik’s book ‘The Good Daughter’, is published by MON Heinemann MON MON 10:45 Woman's Hour Drama b00yyb1l (Listen) MON Chronicles of Ait - Echo Beach, Episode 1 MON MON Written by Michael Butt. MON MON The remote east coast settlement of Ait is reckoned to have MON siren-like powers to entrap and enthral its visitors - and MON that, at least, is how it appears to disaffected writer MON Linus Scott when he arrives from London in search of MON oblivion, for his first encounter is with a mermaid emerging MON from the North Sea. MON MON Actually Alice Pyper isn't strictly speaking a mermaid, just MON a lovely local woman taking a cold swim, but Scott is MON captivated by her beauty and, on a later meeting, with other MON paraphernalia of enchantment, for she insists on telling him MON a local story of passionate concern to her, a legend-like MON narrative of unexplained tragedy and loss on nearby Echo MON Beach. Scott's dormant writer's appetite is awakened and, MON rather against his will, he finds himself caught up in both MON a beguiling story of family treachery, and a tantalising MON love affair. MON MON Echo Beach is the second story from the Chronicles of Ait to MON come to BBC Radio 4, connected to the first tale only by the MON location and the names of its two main characters.

MON MON 11:00 The Chaplin Archive b00yyb49 (Listen) MON Episode 2 MON MON Charles Spencer Chaplin was once the most recognised human MON being on the planet. His name was part of everyday MON conversation in every culture touched by the art of cinema. MON In America, his adopted home, he was even the subject of a MON "mass hallucination". But America fell out of love with MON Chaplin. Hounded by the press and the FBI, he set sail over MON the Atlantic never to return. He made his home in a villa on MON the slopes of Lake Geneva in Switzerland, the place where he MON endured the cold war against him, brought up his children, MON found his peace and waited for America to realise what a MON mistake it had made. He died there in 1977, and the evidence MON of his life remains there too. His house stands empty MON waiting to be turned into a museum of his life and art. MON Stored carefully in a vault in the town below is the MON extraordinary record of his genius, a hoard of letters, MON home-movies, recordings, press-cuttings and unfinished MON scripts. MON MON Matthew Sweet travels to Switzerland to meet Kate MON Guyonvarch, the director of the Chaplin Family Estate whose MON job it is to protect and preserve this unique legacy. MON Together they explore the vast archive of unpublished work MON that's barely been touched by scholars and researchers, to MON conjure a man who came to represent the spirit of his age, MON the face of the 20th Century.

So if MON you're struggling to remember what happened to Solomon MON Grundy on Saturday, why the witches in Macbeth speak in MON trochees not iambs and which footballer was sent off during MON the 2006 World Cup Final for nutting his opponent - this is MON the quiz show for you. MON MON "The 3rd Degree" is a funny, lively and dynamic new quiz MON show aimed at cultivating the next generation of Radio 4 MON listeners whilst delighting the current ones. It's recorded MON on location at a different University each week, and it pits MON three Undergraduates against three of their Professors. MON Being a Radio 4 programme, it of course meets the most MON stringent standards of academic rigour - but with lots of MON facts and jokes thrown in for good measure. MON MON Together with host Steve Punt, the show tours the (sometimes MON posh, sometimes murky, but always welcoming!) Union MON buildings, cafés and lecture halls of six universities MON across the UK. MON MON The rounds vary between Specialist Subjects and General MON Knowledge, quickfire bell-and-buzzer rounds and the MON 'Highbrow & Lowbrow' round cunningly devised to test not MON only the students' knowledge of current affairs, history, MON languages and science, but also their Professors' awareness MON of television, film, and Lady Gaga... In addition, the MON Head-to-Head rounds, in which students take on their MON Professors in their own subjects, were particularly lively, MON and offered plenty of scope for mild embarrassment on both MON sides... MON MON The resulting show is funny, fresh, and not a little bit MON surprising, with a truly varied range of scores, friendly MON rivalry, and moments where students wished they had more MON than just glanced at that reading list...

The two people are linked in some MON way - either they both do the same job in different eras, or MON they are two generations of the same family working in the MON same profession. The series sheds light on changes of MON society over the last 30 - 50 years. MON MON Over the course of the week we follow changes in the process MON of criminal investigation and punishment from the crime MON scene to prison. We hear how forensic pathologists unpick MON the evidence at the crime scene and autopsy room, how a MON suspect is dealt with at the police station, how support for MON victims has changed, the differences in the role of MON magistrates as well as how criminals are treated in prison. MON MON Two forensic pathologists highlight the scientific advances MON in evidence gathering at the crime scene and autopsy from MON DNA to the study of blood splatter. Pathologist Basil Purdue MON started work in the field 30 years ago and compares notes MON with Stuart Hamilton who has recently joined the elite band MON of less than 40 Home Office forensic pathologists called out MON to suspicious deaths throughout the country. How has their MON role at the crime scene changed? And how much better is MON forensic science now in providing evidence for a case or MON ruling out murder or manslaughter?

MON MON In this programme Ernie Rea and guests discuss male MON spirituality and ask if men and women respond differently to MON religious convictions. Do the leaders and prophets of the MON Hebrew scriptures offer role models for men going to church MON or synagogue today? Are the characters of Moses, Joshua, MON David, Solomon suitable and appropriate role models? For MON Christians, does Jesus and his selection of 12 male apostles MON offer an image for brotherhood today? Is the church focusing MON too much on love and nurture rather than courage, risk, MON adventure and sacrifice? Why are Jewish communities MON seemingly more successful at retaining men compared with MON their Christian counterparts? MON MON Joining Ernie to discuss men and spirituality are the MON Reverend Andy Drake, director of evangelism at Christian MON Vision for Men; Dr Janet Eccles, a sociologist of religion MON attached to the Department of Politics, Philosophy and MON Religion at the University of Lancaster; and Rabbi Dr Dan MON Cohn Sherbok, Emeritus Professor of Judaism at the MON University of Wales, Lampeter.

MON MON New Zealand Earthquake MON MON Before the earthquake on New Zealand’s South Island last MON September, the fault line it occurred on wasn’t even known MON about. Following the far more damaging and deadly aftershock MON which hit the city of Christchurch this week, there are MON concerns over whether it means the whole area is much more MON vulnerable than we previously thought. Quentin is joined by MON Dr Elisabetta Mariani, from Liverpool University, who has MON just returned from drilling the major fault line in New MON Zealand. MON MON Grey Squirrel Control MON MON Two thirds of people in the UK now think that grey squirrels MON should be controlled or even removed, according to a new MON survey by the European Squirrel Initiative. But how MON practical is it to stop this grey tide as it sweeps the red MON squirrel towards extinction? Quentin finds out more from Dr MON Craig Shuttleworth, an advisor to the European Squirrel MON Initiative. MON MON Scott’s carbon animals MON MON Tiny Antarctic marine creatures collected 100 years ago by MON Antarctic explorer Captain Robert Falcon Scott give new MON clues about change in polar animals.

TUE TUE 09:00 On the Ropes b00yyflw (Listen) TUE Max Mosley TUE TUE Max Mosley ,the former President of Motor Racing's Governing TUE body the FIA, has lived his life in the constant shadow of TUE controversy: his parents were Oswold Mosley and Diana TUE Mitford whose wedding was attended by Adolf Hitler. But in TUE 2008 the full beam of public scrutiny fell directly upon Max TUE Mosley himself, when the News of the World ran a story TUE revealing his interest in sadomasochism and involvement with TUE prostitutes. TUE TUE In a candid interview, Max Mosley discusses the impact on TUE his life of this now infamous story. TUE TUE Mosley successfully sued the tabloid for breach of privacy TUE and proved in court that the allegations of a Nazi element TUE to the orgy were entirely false. TUE TUE He has now taken his case to the European Court of Human TUE Rights; he wants the British government to be forced to TUE introduce a law which would require journalists to inform TUE people about stories featuring them, before they appear. TUE This would allow time for an injunction to be issued, TUE preventing publication. Journalists are against this TUE proposal, saying it would hamper legitimate investigative TUE journalism. TUE TUE In this programme Max Mosley tells John Humphrys about the TUE moment his wife first saw the story in the News of the World TUE (she thought it was a joke) and describes the impact the TUE revelations about his extra-marital sexual activities have TUE had on his family, and his marriage. He also reiterates his TUE determination to see a change in the law and reveals he had TUE a substantial fund available to carry on his campaign for TUE many years.

TUE TUE 11:00 The Smell of Money b00yyg24 (Listen) TUE The UK's Payment Council predicts that "by 2050, using cash TUE could well be a minority activity". But could we ever become TUE a cashless society? TUE TUE Materials scientist, and Royal Institution Christmas TUE lecturer, Mark Miodownik looks at the story of money, from TUE its historical roots through to today's sophisticated TUE security features. TUE TUE "The cash in our pocket isn't just a symbol of power and TUE prosperity," he says, "it's a physical reminder of who we TUE are and where we came from." TUE TUE Mark visits the little known Trial of the Pyx, a traditional TUE ceremony held annually for over 750 years in the Hall of the TUE Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths. Inside the courtroom, a TUE jury of experts begin the rigorous process of weighing, TUE counting and testing new coins to check they conform to the TUE high standards required by the Royal Mint. TUE TUE He goes behind the scenes at De La Rue in Basingstoke, the TUE UK company which produces banknotes and coins for over 150 TUE countries worldwide. Selecting and mixing materials from TUE cotton to polymers, developing watermarks, metal threads and TUE holograms, produces bills that represent the most TUE extraordinary piece of paper technology ever produced. TUE TUE But 'cash in hand' deals, from paying the plumber to TUE visiting a car boot sale, also fuel the black market. Smart TUE cards, credit cards and direct debits all produce traceable, TUE taxable transactions which bypass the problem of forgery. TUE TUE Critics also argue that producing currency is expensive. TUE Consultants McKinsey estimate that we spend £180 a year per TUE person to cover the cost of cash. TUE TUE So could we ever turn our back on banknotes and live without TUE cash? TUE TUE 11:30 Lanyon's Last Flight b00yyg27 (Listen) TUE In August 1964 the artist Peter Lanyon died as the result of TUE a gliding accident. He was 46, had enjoyed successful shows TUE in New York, and his work was being eagerly sought. Today he TUE is recognised as one of the most innovative painters in 20th TUE century British art. TUE TUE Lanyon's great painting, Thermal, has been admired by the TUE thousands of visitors to his recent retrospective at Tate St TUE Ives. It's a painting that grew out of Lanyon's passion for TUE gliding, yet its vivid abstract forms and resonant colour TUE express his lifelong attempt to create a visual language for TUE his intense experience of the environment - his quest for an TUE art of 'placeness'. TUE TUE This programme follows Lanyon's creative journey, which TUE began with his deep immersion in the landscape and history TUE of his native Cornwall and took him to the experimental edge TUE of international abstract art in the 1950s. TUE TUE Michael Bird tracks Lanyon to places that were crucial to TUE his art, like the ruined tin mine at Levant and the TUE cliff-top airfield from which he flew. He talks to Lanyon's TUE sons, who each shed a different light on their father's TUE complex personality. He asks Lanyon fans in Tate St Ives TUE what draws them to his work, and Lanyon expert Toby Treves TUE about his wider reputation. TUE TUE We also hear archive appreciations of Lanyon from Mark TUE Rothko and the poet W.S. Graham reading 'The Thermal Stair', TUE his powerful elegy to his artist friend. Lanyon himself TUE speaks about how gliding influenced his art. TUE TUE Like Jackson Pollock's fatal car crash eight years earlier, TUE the story of Lanyon's last flight speaks of a generation of TUE artists for whom art demanded physical immersion in the act TUE of painting and a wholehearted faith in the creative TUE accident.

TUE TUE A niece rolls up to her Aunt's place in a flash car. It had TUE been turned over by its previous coke-head owner, but the TUE re-conditioning is superb.

She thought Gianni was different from the TUE others, but it turns out she escaped from his clutches just TUE in time. Her Aunt is well used to her niece's capricious TUE behaviour; she is, after all, every inch her mother's TUE daughter.

TUE TUE 16:00 Law in Action b00yyhqn (Listen) TUE The so-called right to trial by jury is one available in TUE only a small minority of criminal cases in England and TUE Wales. Yet many people regard it as a fundamental human TUE right. Recently, a number of our most senior judges have TUE asked what the future role of jury trial should be in the TUE criminal justice system. As forensic evidence becomes more TUE detailed and the use of - sometimes controversial - expert TUE witnesses grows, do we need to reform our jury system to TUE take account of changing needs and practices? And with TUE strict controls placed on research into how juries work and TUE how well they understand court procedures, do we even know TUE what problems jurors may have with the system we now have? TUE On top of this, politicians and others are concerned about TUE the cost of jury trials. TUE TUE Joshua Rozenberg considers the pressures on our historic TUE system of trial by jury and how well it seems to be coping TUE with them.

WED WED 11:00 In Living Memory b00yyjwl (Listen) WED Series 13, Episode 3 WED WED In 1980, ITV broadcast a television programme called "Death WED of a Princess", about the execution of a young Saudi WED Princess for adultery. The broadcast deeply offended the WED Saudi Royal Family, who believed that the British government WED should have stopped the transmission. They told the British WED ambassador to leave, and Saudi-British relations were thrown WED into crisis. WED Three decades on, the Foreign Office papers have been made WED public. They show how the British government was caught WED unawares by the storm, and struggled to find a way to WED restore relations with the Saudis. They couldn't apologise WED for the film, since it wasn't their responsibility, but the WED Saudis could not be fobbed off by "expressions of regret". WED The Saudis were telling the British to "control your WED monkeys" [i.e. the British press], and held the government WED responsible for even the mildest public criticism of the WED Saudi regime. The British government desperately tried to WED square the demands of an important but authoritarian trading WED partner with the traditions of free speech. Meanwhile WED British businessmen became increasingly anxious, with one WED big company even writing to the Foreign Office to demand WED that it bribe the Saudi Royal Family with an English country WED estate . WED Even today, the subject remains sensitive. In this WED programme, Jolyon Jenkins talks to the key players involved WED in the story including the film maker, the expelled WED Ambassador, and the then Foreign minister Douglas Hurd. The WED programme also contains an interview with the only westerner WED to have known the executed Princess, a German nanny who had WED worked for her aunt.

WED WED 21:00 Costing the Earth b00yz2gd (Listen) WED OK Coral WED WED 90% of the world's coral is under threat, but could this WED frontline ecosystem also offer signs of hope? WED WED Ocean acidification is one of the biggest threats to coral WED but in Egypt tourism also contributes. Much of the coastal WED resorts waste is pumped directly into the sea and plastic WED bags litter the sea bed. Step forward eco divers. Volunteers WED who clean up reefs on their holidays and not just in the Red WED Sea. Neptunes Army of Rubbish Cleaners dive in Wales to keep WED the Pembrokeshire marine environment free from litter but WED can this army of volunteers across the planet really make a WED difference. WED WED As well as litter coral has also been found to be threatened WED by noise pollution. Young coral find their way home by WED listening to the noise of animals on the reef and increasing WED marine noise threatens their ability to do so. WED WED Climate change is also a factor in ocean acidification but WED it may not be all bad news. A recent report in Australia WED suggests that ancient coral which drowned could return to WED life with warming seas. Further research at the University WED of Essex suggests that often coral bleaching does not always WED equate to coral death. WED WED More promising still is research at the University of Exeter WED where scientists have discovered that some coral in the WED Arabic Sea, where waters have warmed most quickly so far, WED has been able to adapt to rising temperatures. WED WED What these fragile structures need most is time and space to WED recover. Marine conservation zones have worked well on the WED Great Barrier Reef and in the UK's own territorial waters of WED Chagos but closer to home in Barra the pressures of WED conservation versus fishermen's livelihood have become all WED too apparent.

THU THU Since the 18th century, when scientists first realised that THU the universe had existed for more than a few thousand years, THU cosmologists have debated its likely age. The discovery that THU the universe was expanding allowed the first informed THU estimates of its age to be made by the great astronomer THU Edwin Hubble, in the early decades of the twentieth century. THU Hubble's estimate of the rate at which the universe is THU expanding, the so-called Hubble Constant, has been THU progressively improved. Today, using ever more sophisticated THU methods, cosmologists generally agree that the universe has THU been here for almost 14 billion years.

THU THU 11:30 Liberty, Fraternity, Anarchy - Le Punk Francais THU b00yz3h8 (Listen) THU The recorded histories of punk concentrate on two places - THU the USA and England - and while it's true that much of the THU scene's most important activity took place there, one other THU key territory has been largely written out of the story - THU France. Andrew Hussey argues that without the French, punk THU would simply have been pub rock with shorter hair. THU THU Many of the ideas, he shows, and much of the look of punk THU came from the French: Malcolm McLaren and Tony Wilson were THU hugely influenced by the Situationist movement in THU particular, and deliberately and explicitly trawled it for THU images and lyrics that were to become iconic punk THU expressions (the Sex Pistols record covers, lyrics such as THU 'Cheap holidays in other people's misery'...); the first THU festival of punk music took place at Mont de Marsan in 1976; THU the first Rough Trade release was from the Parisian band THU 'Metal Urbain'; the punk 'look' first embodied by Richard THU Hell was drawn straight from fin de siecle French poets, and THU the graffiti strewn clothing of The Clash comes straight THU from the 50s group les Lettrists. THU THU As Hussey will show, not only did the French influence the THU international scene, it also contributed bands such as THU Stinky Toys, Marie et les Garcons and Starshooter, bands THU that often explored the potential of electronic music within THU the punk sound (an avenue unexplored by their US and UK THU equivalents) - anticipating the popularity of electronics THU over the course of the following years. THU THU Hussey speaks with some of the key players in the French THU scene in the streets le punk francais took place to bring THU this forgotten moment in Gallic culture vividly to life.
