I was, I believed, ecologically SAT bored". SAT SAT In this walk, George explains how he has attempted to SAT 'rewild' his own life and describes what he believes needs SAT to be done in order to reintroduce true wildness to our SAT countryside through the large-scale restoration of SAT ecosystems. He says "researching it felt like stepping SAT through the back of the wardrobe".

Well known for his BBC 6Music show with Mark SAT Radcliffe, Stuart's new book and its accompanying Radio 2 SAT series 'The People's Songs: The Story of Modern Britain in SAT 50 Records' provides a sweeping history of our nation set to SAT the tunes that soundtracked our times. SAT SAT Clive talks Secrets & Lies with actress Marianne SAT Jean-Baptiste, who was nominated for an Academy Award for SAT her role as Hortense Cumberbatch in Mike Leigh's 1996 drama. SAT Marianne's starring as Sister Margaret, the uncompromising SAT pastor of her Harlem church, with a congregation revolting SAT against her leadership.

SAT SAT 19:00 From Fact to Fiction b026ymcc (Listen) SAT Series 14, Episode 4 SAT SAT Writer and actress Katy Wix creates a fictional response to SAT the week's news. A 15 minute stand-alone drama created from SAT scratch during the week. SAT SAT To complement Radio 4's News and Current Affairs output, our SAT weekly series presents a dramatic response to a major story SAT from the week's news. The form and content is entirely led SAT by the news topic - so drama can come in many guises, as SAT well as poetry and prose. SAT SAT It's uniquely radio - an instant reaction to the mood of the SAT moment - a concept impossible to imagine in any other SAT medium. SAT SAT The breadth of approach is echoed in the range of writers SAT that have participated so far. They include: David Edgar, SAT Amelia Bullmore, Mark Lawson, Bonnie Greer, Laura Solon, SAT Will Self, Alistair Beaton, Lemn Sissay, April de Angelis, SAT Rebecca Lenkiewicz, Adrian Mitchell, Stewart Lee, John SAT Sergeant, Jo Shapcott, Ian McMillan, Kwame Kwei-Armah, Kate SAT Mosse, Marina Warner, Gurpeet Kaur Bhatti, A.L. Kennedy and SAT Lin Coghlan. SAT SAT FF2F presents writers with the creative opportunity to work SAT in a bold and instinctive way as they respond to events in SAT the news, beginning on a Monday when an idea is selected SAT through to Friday when the programme is recorded and edited. SAT SAT The high-profile series also attracts big names from the SAT acting profession. Philip Glenister, Tracy-Ann Oberman, SAT Samuel West, David Soul, Henry Goodman, Anne-Marie Duff, SAT Alistair McGowan, Robert Bathurst, Stephen Mangan, Ken SAT Cranham, Brendan Coyle, Haydn Gwynne and Sally Hawkins are SAT just some of the names who have featured so far. SAT SAT Comedy actress Katy Wix is probably best known as Tim Vine's SAT ditzy girlfriend Daisy in BBC One sitcom, Not Going Out, or SAT as Rhiannon Davies in Torchwood. She was also a regular cast SAT member in Al Murray's Multiple Personality Disorder for ITV, SAT and has appeared in Extras, Time Trumpet and Miranda. Katy SAT is also in a surreal double-act with Anna Crilly, originally SAT called Penny Spubb, but now simply Anna And Katy. They have SAT performed at Edinburgh three times, and made a pilot for SAT Radio 2. Anna and Katy was commissioned a series by Channel SAT 4 and was first broadcast March 2013. SAT SAT Producer: Polly Thomas SAT Production Co-ordinator: Scott Handcock SAT SAT BBC Radio Drama, Wales/Cymru. SAT SAT 19:15 Saturday Review b026ymcj (Listen) SAT Behind the Candelabra, Chagall at Tate Liverpool SAT SAT Steven Soderbergh's film Behind the Candelabra tells the SAT story of flamboyant piano star Liberace and his five-year SAT relationship with a young lover, Scott Thorson: Michael SAT Douglas plays Liberace and Matt Damon Thorson. It failed to SAT find a distributor in the US until HBO backed it but was SAT then selected to compete for the Palme d'Or at Cannes. Is SAT there substance under the sequins? SAT SAT Chagall: Modern Master at Tate Liverpool is a major new SAT exhibition which takes an early decade in the artist's life, SAT 1911-22. It was a time during which he travelled to Paris SAT and married his childhood sweetheart and gives a opportunity SAT to witness the impact of movements such as Cubism and SAT Orphism in his work. SAT SAT Strange Interlude won Eugene O'Neill the Pulitzer Prize but SAT its 5 hour running time and its experimental asides to the SAT audience mean that it isn't performed as often as some of SAT his other work. With abortion, mental illness and adultery SAT at its heart, will its dramatic impact resonate in this new SAT shortened version at the National Theatre, with Anne Marie SAT Duff? SAT SAT The Returned began life as Les Revenants, a French film SAT which was adapted into a television series. It was a great SAT hit there and now Channel 4 have taken it on as their first SAT subtitled drama for decades. Will this Alpine tale of the SAT Undead wow the British? SAT SAT Hammond Innes was a master of adventure and suspense but his SAT works have been less read since his death in 1998. Now SAT Vintage are re-issuing several of his works, including his SAT early success The Lonely Skier and his great bestseller The SAT Wreck of the Mary Deare. Do they stand the test of time? SAT SAT Historian Kathryn Hughes and writers and journalists Sarfraz SAT Manzoor and David Aaronovitch join Tom Sutcliffe. SAT SAT Producer: Sarah Johnson. SAT SAT 20:00 Archive on 4 b01j2bzr (Listen) SAT Houses v Fields SAT SAT Which is a better use of our land? A beautiful green field, SAT or a human home? We have long tied ourselves in knots trying SAT to answer this question. Anne McElvoy ploughs the BBC SAT archive to unearth the tangled roots of one this country's SAT great, eternal inner conflicts. SAT SAT Anne listens to a stinging mid-century polemic against new SAT 'ribbon developments'. And she finds out which writer was so SAT incensed at suburban sprawl that she burned cardboard models SAT of suburbs in her garden. SAT SAT But she also hears interviews with those who had managed to SAT flee the slums and who were enraptured by the fresh air on SAT new estates. One ex-EastEnder is agog simply at the fact SAT that she has running water upstairs. SAT SAT In this new, planning-friendly world, Prime Minister Winston SAT Churchill broadcast to the nation on the virtues of the new SAT emergency pre-fabricated houses - complete with "excellent SAT baths". He expresses impatience with those who would "plan SAT every acre" to ensure the landscape was not spoiled. SAT SAT But she also hears the rough reception that greeted the SAT Minister who ventured to Stevenage to extol the virtues of SAT the coming new town. SAT SAT This opposition to new building on ancient fields came to a SAT new crisis in the 1980s when the boom in the south east led SAT to extraordinary tensions. Environment Secretary Nicholas SAT Ridley backed plans to build new settlements in the Home SAT Counties. Protestors burned him in effigy in a Hampshire SAT field. SAT SAT And with the Coalition Government trying to encourage SAT development while empowering local communities, Anne asks SAT Planning Minister Nicholas Boles how he is trying to resolve SAT the struggle between houses and fields. SAT SAT With Nicholas Boles, John Carey, Juliet Gardiner, Tristram SAT Hunt, Roger Scruton, Christine Whitehead SAT SAT Producer: Phil Tinline.

SAT Dramatised by Gregory Evans SAT SAT A dramatisation of Joseph Roth's most celebrated novel. The SAT end of the Austro-Hungarian Empire as seen through the lives SAT of three generations of the Trotta family. Part 1 of 2. SAT SAT Piano and Trupet played by Peter Ringrose SAT SAT Directed by Marc Beeby SAT SAT *************************** SAT SAT Literary critic Harold Blom described Joseph Roth's The SAT Radetzky March as "One of the most readable, poignant and SAT superb novels in twentieth century German". SAT SAT This is the story of the Trottas, a family of Slovenian SAT peasants ennobled when Lieutenant Joseph Trotta saves SAT Emperor Franz Joseph's life at the Battle of Solferino in SAT 1859. Most of the action, however, is set in the early years SAT of the twentieth century and con-cerns the next two SAT generations of Trottas, a bureaucrat and a soldier: the SAT Baron - stiff, guarded, but secretly loving - and his son, SAT the feckless, disaster-prone Carl Joseph. SAT SAT The Radetzky March is a novel about the ending of things: SAT love affairs, friendships, individual lives, dynasties, an SAT empire, a world.

SAT SAT 22:15 Unreliable Evidence b02144zx (Listen) SAT Secret Courts SAT SAT Leading human rights barrister Dinah Rose challenges cabinet SAT minister Ken Clarke over the Government's extension of the SAT use of secret courts. SAT SAT Dinah Rose is fundamentally opposed to the new law which SAT allows so-called closed material proceedings to be used in SAT civil courts where the Government is defending itself SAT against such things as claims for compensation by alleged SAT victims of torture. She says the move is unfair and SAT unnecessary and undermines the principle of open justice. SAT She was among a number of high profile figures who recently SAT resigned from the Lib Dems over the issue. SAT SAT But Ken Clarke, who pushed new legislation through SAT parliament, says the alternative would be to allow Al-Qaeda SAT to learn all of Britain's security secrets. SAT SAT Their lively exchange comes in an edition of Unreliable SAT Evidence asking if the fundamental tenet of our legal system SAT - that justice should be seen to be done - is coming SAT increasingly under threat. SAT Clive Anderson and his guests discuss the arguments for and SAT against conducting proceedings behind closed doors in the SAT Court of Protection, the family courts and in the criminal SAT courts as well as issues relating to anonymity of SAT defendants, victims and witnesses.

He looks at the Hindu phenomenon of darshan, a SUN divine vision which is seen as a particular blessing. SUN SUN Visions - personal and apparently literal encounters with SUN the divine - are viewed differently from one faith to SUN another. Considered by some people as an important step on SUN the road to enlightenment, they are viewed askance by SUN others, and with suspicion by many. SUN SUN Mark examines how visions are regarded by writers ranging SUN from the Ancient Druid Amargin to Christopher Isherwood . He SUN plays music by Lata Mangeshakar, Ernest Bloch and Van SUN Morrison to compare the many musical visions of the face of SUN God.

SUN SUN Some of us choose a life in I.T. or event planning - Conrad SUN Anker has opted to swing from a nylon stepladder 19,000 feet SUN up a cliff with a dose of trench foot and a wedge of stale SUN cheese for supper. It may seem an odd way to spend one's SUN life but it's his way. SUN SUN One of the world's elite climbers he's credited with a long SUN list of first time ascents. He's also summited Everest three SUN times. During one renowned climb he discovered the icy SUN corpse of the legendary George Mallory who had perished SUN along with Sandy Irvine as they tried to scale the peak - in SUN nothing more than hobnail boots and tweeds - in 1924. SUN SUN When he isn't exploring the far corners of the world's SUN wilderness he's at home in Montana with his wife Jennifer, SUN the widow of his best friend Alex Lowe, who was killed by an SUN avalanche that narrowly missed Conrad himself. SUN SUN He says of his life, "Most people are so risk averse. The SUN world is full of couch potatoes ... we climbers should get SUN government stipends for keeping the risk-taking gene pool SUN alive." SUN SUN Producer: Cathy Drysdale.

SUN People lose both their appetite and their sense of taste. SUN But food and cooking can also play a positive and healing SUN role in helping individuals come to term with their loss. SUN Sheila Dillon explores the healing power of food and how it SUN can help to remember and recapture memories of those who SUN have died. SUN SUN Sheila visited the Hospice of St Francis in Berkhamsted SUN which runs cookery courses for those who've been bereaved. SUN Some of those taking part had lost the will to cook - SUN especially the prospect of making meals for one rather than SUN two.

SUN SUN The programme includes contributions from series co-creator SUN Jeremy Burnham, singer Julian Cope, cast members and fans. SUN SUN In 1977 HTV launched the revolutionary children's television SUN drama telling the story of an astrophysicist and his son who SUN arrive in the village of Milbury to study ancient stones. SUN The residents greet each other with the phrase "Happy day", SUN and the community is held in a strange captivity by the SUN psychic forces generated by the circle of giant Neolithic SUN stones which surround it. SUN SUN Filmed at Avebury in Wiltshire, it is a strangely SUN atmospheric production with the baleful, discordant wailing SUN voices of the incidental music increasing the tension. SUN SUN The story, involving a temporal paradox and issues of SUN individuality and community assimilation thematically SUN challenged the after-school audience, which included Stewart SUN Lee. SUN SUN In this documentary Lee returns to Avebury to discuss the SUN serial's impact, examine its influence on him and explore SUN the history and secrets of the ancient stones. SUN SUN 1970s kids may have dived behind the sofa during Doctor Who, SUN but it was Children of the Stones that gave them nightmares.

With that awareness comes an understanding that it MON was the war to end all wars, shocking the culture, politics, MON and societies of Europe, but particularly Britain, out of MON their comfortable progress and reshaping everything. MON But in this series Michael Portillo challenges that notion. MON Looking at a series of themes, the suffrage movement, the MON Irish question, the decline of the liberal party and the MON arts, he argues that to a large extent Britain was already MON in a state of flux by 1913 and many of the developments we MON think of as emanating from or being catalysed by the war, MON were actually in full flow.

MON MON Whilst it has never ventured far from the philosophy of MON founder John H Johnson in mixing 'Orange Juice with Castor MON Oil', in terms of its depiction and coverage of black MON achievement and celebrity, it and sister publications like MON Jet, has continued to chart the possibilities and MON contradictions of African American life from the time of Jim MON Crow to the age of Obama. MON MON The Johnson Publishing empire began on Chicago's Southside MON or Bronzeville at a time when a community defined by MON segregation was largely self-reliant and confident of its MON own voice, full of expectation of new freedoms at home after MON many had fought abroad. The coming Civil Rights struggle MON would be chronicled in the pages of Ebony and sister MON magazine Jet, from the murder of Emmett Till to the MON assassination of Martin Luther King, who penned a regular MON column in Ebony. It would be the first magazine granted an MON in-depth interview by President Obama MON MON Ebony has outlived the glossy photo magazines it was MON modelled on, Life and Time, and through its pages you can MON chart much of the epic story of struggle and achievement for MON Black America. But in an age where African American MON celebrity is now world celebrity what is Ebony's place in MON the world?

MON The role of celibacy differs cross-culturally among MON religious traditions, with some insisting on it and others MON prohibiting it. Obligatory celibacy for Catholic priests in MON the West was introduced in 1130, yet in other traditions, MON such as Islam, marriage for their spiritual leaders is MON positively encouraged and celibacy, whilst not forbidden, is MON seen as second class. Is celibacy an essential requirement MON for real closeness to God or not?

MON Joining Ernie Rea to discuss celibacy across religions are MON Professor Carl Olsen, Prof of Religious Studies at Allegheny MON College, Pennsylvania, and Editor of the book, Celibacy and MON Religious Traditions; Dr Helen Costigane SHCJ, member of the MON Society of the Holy Child Jesus, who teaches Canon Law and MON Christian Ethics at Heythrop College, University of London, MON and Sheikh Michael Mumisa, Islamic scholar at the University MON of Cambridge.

MON MON In this programme - recorded in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem and MON Ashdod - writer and broadcaster Dennis Marks explores the MON life of the 1.2 million Israelis of Russian origin. MON MON They brought with them Russian supermarkets and small MON businesses, vodka and pork sausages. As recent Israeli MON elections have proved, they have also transformed the MON country's political fabric, with their own political parties MON and leaders like the former dissident Natan Sharansky.

MON It's a summer's day in 1946 in North London. Lillian is MON facing the prospect of a two hour queue at Nag's Head for a MON small, stale loaf. Bread is about to go on the ration. MON Still, she applies her make up and makes sure her seams are MON straight; you'd never believe she was 43! She leaves her MON husband, Walter, lightly snoring in bed. It's not that she MON wanted him to have been killed when he was away during the MON war; it's more that she just hadn't wanted him to come back MON to her. Instead of looking forward, Lillian can't help but MON hanker for those war days when she 'did her bit' in a more MON unconventional way than was perhaps expected. MON MON Divisional Detective inspector Cooper is enjoying his first MON break in weeks when he's called to a bomb site. A woman's MON body, probably that of a prostitute, has been found. That's MON all he needs; sex crimes are always difficult to solve. MON London is in the grip of a crime wave. The number of crimes MON committed on VE Day was more than double that on the same MON day in 1939, and the Met is short of thousands of men. MON Coupons and ration books and queuing for everything had made MON criminals of everyone. The war may be over but things are MON struggling to get better. Can things return to how they used MON to be, before the bombs and the filth? MON MON The abridger is Lauris Morgan Griffiths. MON Produced by Sarah Langan.

"Rumor And Sigh" - Richard Thompson MON MON Named by Rolling Stone Magazine as one of the Top 20 MON Guitarists of all time, Richard back to the making of whats MON is not just his most commercially successful album, but also MON one of the high points of his career. It was album that MON earned him a Grammy Nomination for the Best Alternative MON Music Album (he lost out R.E.M.) and it captures Thompson's MON obsession with romantic despair and the more miserable MON quirks of fate. And yet, like all good tragedy, it does not MON sound depressing - it is instead life affirming. MON MON Richard has said that the albums he considered "successful" MON were those where his initial concept most closely matched MON the finished product. By this yardstick, 'Rumor And Sigh' MON was one of his most successful albums, containing such MON tracks as "1952 Vincent Black Lightning", "God Loves A MON Drunk" and "Why Must I Plead".

TUE TUE In the first programme he spoke to Alp Mehmet, Vice-Chair of TUE Migration Watch.

No really, he is literally a monster. Or TUE should that be she is.? Or even it is..? To be honest it's TUE all a bit of a jumble, but they're opted for the name Benjy TUE for now. TUE TUE Like all babies, Benjy (Cariad Lloyd) keeps growing. Horns TUE mainly. Scales. Fangs. Tail. Karen never quite knows what's TUE going to greet her when she unbolts the reinforced door of TUE his nursery and turns the padlock on his cot. TUE TUE Not that he's dangerous, of course. Just very excitable. And TUE strong. And surprisingly advanced for his tender age. While TUE most babies lie in their cots looking sweet, Benjy is soon TUE galumphing around the house and bringing in the remains of TUE next door's chickens. And though he may be a monster, he's TUE still Karen's monster. She loves him and she always will, no TUE matter what he puts her through. And he's sometimes very TUE well-behaved, especially when his Dad, Nick (Rufus Jones) or TUE Grandma (Geraldine James) are around. TUE TUE While Karen has to cope with one very real monster, she also TUE has to deal with her own 'monsters' - the monsters of guilt, TUE envy and low self-esteem that gnaw away at her from the TUE inside. She wants to be the best mother in the world and TUE just ends up behaving like the worst. TUE TUE Written by Gerard Foster (At Home With The Snails, Horrible TUE Histories) this is a darkly comic look at modern parenthood, TUE set in our child-obsessed world of big buggies and Little TUE Einsteins.

WED WED 11:00 London's Oldest Prison: A History of Criminal Justice WED b02x5grv (Listen) WED Engine of Terror WED WED Through the prism of HMP Brixton, BBC Radio 4 traces WED changing attitudes to crime and punishment during 19th WED century industrialisation, urbanisation, and national debate WED about how prisons should be run, who should run them and WED whether they exist to punish, deter or reform. WED WED Ever since it opened in 1819, Brixton prison has stood at WED the vanguard of debate around crime and punishment. Before WED Brixton, the most common punishments for minor criminals had WED been held in public - such as the pillory and the stocks. WED But changing sensibilities meant the days of such spectacles WED were numbered. When Brixton opened, prisons were emerging as WED the central focus in the struggle against crime. WED WED In the first of two programmes, Jerry White, Professor of WED History at the University of London, uses rarely-seen WED documents to chart the early history of Brixton. With the WED help of current prisoners and staff he discovers how WED Brixton's response to public concerns about the rising level WED of crime was to introduce the treadmill. WED WED It was a new means of punishment where inmates trod giant WED wheels which were connected to millstones; the flour would WED be used to make their daily bread. Brixton made the WED treadmill famous and, within two decades, half the prisons WED in the country would have one.

WED WED Clive's guests, all with wide knowledge of the world of WED spying and surveillance, warn that the threat to our privacy WED comes not just from Big Brother, but also from Little WED Brother and Big Brother PLC. And they argue that the law WED controlling surveillance is largely inadequate and widely WED misinterpreted. WED WED Barrister Eric Metcalfe says a very wide range of bodies WED have the power to spy on us - from intercepting telephone WED calls, emails or letters, to carrying out covert WED surveillance in private premises and public places or WED accessing electronic data and private passwords. Some of WED these powers are utilised by local authorities to combat WED such crimes as allowing pets to foul footpaths, fly-tipping WED and breaches of the smoking ban. WED WED Eric Metcalfe says only a tiny percentage of the millions of WED applications made for surveillance warrants in the past ten WED years have been subject to any kind of judicial oversight. WED WED The programme also considers the possible revival of WED Government's proposals for what has been condemned as a WED "snoopers' charter" - legislation which would make it WED possible to track everyone's email, internet and mobile text WED use.

WED WED 21:00 Frontiers b02qm2sb (Listen) WED Build Me a Brain WED WED When President Obama recently complained, that although "we WED can identify galaxies light years away, study particles WED smaller than an atom ... we still haven't unlocked the WED mystery of the three pounds of matter that sits between WED our ears" - he called on scientists to unravel the WED trillions of neural connections inside our brains that make WED our minds work. WED WED Some researchers are already doing that - trying to WED understand the brain by starting to build one. At Reading WED University, at the newly-constructed Brain Embodiment WED Laboratory, researchers plan to connect cultures of living WED human neurons to robots to give meaning to their neural WED activity. At Georgia Tech, Atlanta, neuroengineer Steve WED Potter agrees that cultured neurons not connected to the WED outside world suffer sensory deprivation. His neural arrays WED descend into spasms of epileptic activity when left alone. WED When plugged in, they can control machines across the WED planet. WED WED "I believe these cultures are half-way to having a mind," WED says Potter. "Wired up to listen to their own outputs, they WED could be self-aware." WED WED Other researchers are building brains from inanimate WED materials - using tendrils of silver, silicon and sulphur WED that spring into life like activity when wired up to WED electricity. At Stanford University, plans are afoot to WED meld them with living neurons - perhaps to enhance our WED thought processes. WED WED These devices can learn, remember and process information - WED but do they think? Can these scientists really build a WED brain? And what would it tell us about ours if they could?

The victory party is well and truly over. WED WED DDI Cooper suspects that he probably has more chance of WED marrying Ingrid Bergman than resolving a random sex murder WED on a bomb site. But there are a few odd things about this WED seemingly 'commonplace killing' that strike him as unusual. WED For one, the victim's appearance; un-darned nylons and a WED neatly laundered blouse - certainly not the usual garb of a WED prostitute. But also, where was the handbag? Every London WED woman had caught the Blitz habit of keeping your handbag WED close to you at all times. WED WED Lillian Frobisher is an attractive mother of 43. She makes WED an effort to ensure she looks good whilst avoiding being WED seen as the sort of woman whom men regard as a 'possible.' WED Dreaming of a nice new life in Muswell Hill where she meets WED gentlemen for cocktails is the only way she can cope with WED the greyness of her existence. WED WED The war has left it's mark on everyone, including a young WED man called Dennis who can't escape a recurring dream of WED flying through the air - to his mind, this was an odd dream WED for a sailor. He's got a nice little number going involving WED stolen suitcases which enables him to buy under the counter WED cigarettes and to dress well, and he can always barter and WED exchange what he doesn't want with any number of fences or WED spivs. The war has made criminals of everyone.

WED WED 23:00 Living with Mother b01nl8gw (Listen) WED Series 2, Star Turn WED WED Living with Mother returns for a second series with further WED tales about sons who have never flown the nest.

WED WED Marlon simply can't sing, but his dogged determination means WED he cannot back down and he convinces his mother to accompany WED him on the Bontempi. Poor Helen is in a quandary and feels WED she should tell her son that he can't sing but, true to WED form, he ignores any advice given. WED WED Will Helen have the courage to put a stop to her son being WED humiliated or will she get a taste for fame herself? WED WED Writing about the first series of Living with Mother, Radio WED Times described it as "Alexander Kirk's astutely-observed WED comedy series...underpinning each of these tales is a WED bittersweet poignancy, a moment when the easy laughs are WED replaced with a lip-trembling insight into the WED vulnerability, lack of self-confidence and interdependency".

WED WED Episode 2: The Fox-Wife by Sam Thompson WED In Oxford, we follow a man whose wife has turned into a fox. WED WED These experimental radio features blend archive, fiction and WED documentary footage. What's real and what's fiction becomes WED unclear, just like in the city. WED WED A city isn't just a location on the map, it's a place we WED imagine, dream about, invent. A place to love, to endure or WED to resent. A place where you can find anything - but it WED always has a price. WED WED You don't need to live in a city - it's part of the WED universal imagination. But the way we think of it has common WED dark undertones, recurring dreams that come round again and WED again. These late night woozy dreamscapes uncover those WED unsaid obsessions, each taking a different theme, and WED question why these ideas seem to keep coming back in the way WED we imagine urban living.

FRI FRI 11:00 Born in Bradford b02qt7vm (Listen) FRI Born in Bradford is one of the biggest medical research FRI studies undertaken in the UK: its aim is to find out more FRI about the causes of illness by studying children as their FRI lives unfold. Winifred Robinson has been alongside FRI researchers from the start, in 2007, and has followed the FRI recruitment of 14,000 babies and their families. They are FRI now been tracked and Information gathered has already led to FRI changes in how pregnant women in the city are monitored and FRI their babies cared for.In this programme Winifred looks at FRI research into the effect of the potentially toxic chemical, FRI acrylamide - present in a range of foods, including crisps, FRI coffee and chips. The diet of mothers to be in Bradford FRI contributed to an international study of 1,100 pregnant FRI women and newborns, led by the Centre for Research in FRI Environmental Epidemiology in Spain. The babies in Bradford FRI were found to have the highest levels of acrylamide, which FRI can cause lower birth rates and smaller heads. These birth FRI outcomes are linked to health problems in later life, FRI including poor child health, delayed brain development, and FRI diabetes and heart disease in adulthood.According to FRI Professor John Wright, a clinical epidemiologist at the FRI Bradford Institute for Health Research, the findings show FRI how important it is to start educating pregnant women about FRI the risks: "our study provides the most definitive FRI scientific evidence yet that eating foods high in acrylamide FRI during the critical pregnancy period can affect foetal FRI health. The level found in the Bradford babies was twice the FRI level of the Danish babies, for instance. Pregnant women FRI need to be given more information about the risk from FRI acrylamide and the food industry must also explore effective FRI ways of reducing acrylamide levels in its products."The FRI impetus for the Born in Bradford study came from the high FRI infant mortality rate in the City - the second highest in FRI the country at the launch of the study, according to the FRI Bradford Infant Mortality Commission. In addition Bradford FRI has a range of autosomal recessive conditions which aren't FRI seen elsewhere - with more than 150 of them identified by FRI paediatricians and community teams. In an effort to FRI understand some of these extremely rare conditions FRI researchers have been tracing the genetic history of new FRI parents and looking at the part played by cousin marriages, FRI which account for three quarters of marriages amongst FRI Pakistanis in the city. The Born in Bradford team is now on FRI the brink of providing the most detailed calculation of the FRI actual risks involved in cousin marriage. One of the FRI advantages of this work is that those in the position of FRI having children with recessive conditions can be offered FRI alternatives when they next consider getting pregnant. Ruba FRI is 24 and has two children with I Cell disease, a rare and FRI incurable metabolic disorder which has already claimed the FRI life of her five year old son, Hassan and which will FRI inevitably kill his younger sister, Alishba. Ruba is married FRI to her cousin and has a one in four chance of any subsequent FRI pregnancies resulting in children born with the same FRI condition. Winifred follows Ruba as she considers her FRI options and listens to the advice and guidance offered. FRI FRI 11:30 Tom Wrigglesworth's Open Letters b00y2sdt (Listen) FRI Series 1, Parking Enforcement FRI FRI Through the medium of four open letters, the comedian Tom FRI Wrigglesworth investigates the myriad examples of corporate FRI lunacy and maddening jobsworths in modern Britain.

FRI FRI 13:45 1913: The Year Before b02qt7vw (Listen) FRI Cultural Upheaval FRI FRI In the fifth programme in the series Michael tackles the FRI familiar idea that the angularity and a-tonal hallmarks of FRI modernism in the arts and culture were a reaction to the FRI shock and savagery of the slaughter in the trenches. In fact FRI modernism in many of its forms, had already enjoyed its high FRI water mark, while the cultural scene in 1913 was FRI increasingly dominated by the popularity of music hall and FRI film. Parisian Riots over Stravinsky's Rites of Spring don't FRI seem to have been echoed in Britain where Henry Wood was FRI boldly programming music by both Stravinsky and Weburn. But FRI even as war threatened and then took hold, there was a move FRI towards Pastoralism. FRI FRI Producer: Tom Alban.

FRI He has not committed a crime, but the Security Services say FRI they have substantial reasons for believing that he FRI represents a clear and present danger. They have put him on FRI a TPIM - the Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measure, FRI which puts him under a curfew and involves other FRI restrictions on his activities.

FRI FRI 21:00 1913: The Year Before b02qt7ws (Listen) FRI 1913: The Year Before - Omnibus, Omnibus Week One FRI FRI The one hundredth anniversary of the start of the First FRI World war looms on the horizon. 1914 is a date forged into FRI the British consciousness, just as it's carved into FRI monuments the length and breadth of the UK and many places FRI beyond. With that awareness comes an understanding that it FRI was the war to end all wars, shocking the culture, politics, FRI and societies of Europe, but particularly Britain, out of FRI their comfortable progress and reshaping everything. FRI But in this series Michael Portillo challenges that notion. FRI Looking at a series of themes, the suffrage movement, the FRI Irish question, the decline of the liberal party and the FRI arts, he argues that to a large extent Britain was already FRI in a state of flux by 1913 and many of the developments we FRI think of as emanating from or being catalysed by the war, FRI were actually in full flow.

FRI FRI Lillian and her young friend Evelyn (who lives rent free in FRI Lillian's attic) have gone to a café where they meet a fat FRI and vulgar woman called Nesta, but also a cocky young man FRI called Dennis who calls her 'Blondie'. She notices the FRI quality of his green jacket and his fancy tie - they make FRI him stand out a bit. And his sneer gives him an air of FRI contempt which gives her a queer sort of thrill. FRI Meanwhile DDI Cooper is becoming increasingly frustrated FRI with the case, when a break comes along. The mackintosh they FRI found at the murder site has been identified as a FRI Westmoreland which Cooper knows is stocked at the exclusive FRI Gamages department store. And the pathologist finds evidence FRI that makes Cooper question if this woman was raped at all. FRI FRI A Commonplace Killing by Sian Busby is abridged by Lauris FRI Morgan Griffiths.
