But this is the former site of one of England's SAT most infamous lunatic asylums, the Middlesex County Pauper SAT Lunatic Asylum at Colney Hatch. At its peak, this asylum SAT housed nearly 3,000 patients - including, in the late 1980s, SAT Barbara Taylor herself. SAT SAT Writing about The Last Asylum, Booker prize winner and SAT memoirist, Hilary Mantel said, ''We believe our response to SAT mental illness is more enlightened, kinder and effective SAT than that of the Victorians who built the asylums. Can we be SAT sure? Barbara Taylor challenges complacency, exposes shallow SAT thinking, and points out the flaws and dangers of treatment SAT on the cheap. It is a wise, considered and timely book'. SAT SAT Darian Leader has described it as 'Superb, Riveting, SAT insightful and relentlessly honest'. SAT SAT Episode 5: SAT Gradually perspective returns, 'something inside me shifts'. SAT The author recalls the return of hope but she also wonders SAT if today's mental health system would offer the same space SAT for recovery that she was able to find.

SAT SAT 06:07 Ramblings b03vgq25 (Listen) SAT Series 26, Rachael Kiddey, Avon Estuary SAT SAT This series is themed 'Ramblings Revisited' as Clare Balding SAT walks again with some of her favourite and most memorable SAT guests. SAT SAT In March of 2006 Clare Balding went rambling with Rosie SAT Barrett and her two children, Rachael and Rob. They took her SAT on their local walk around the Avon Estuary in south Devon. SAT It had always been part of their lives, as a route for SAT venting teenage tantrums or simply as a ramble to the pub, SAT but after Rosie's other son, Hugh, died of cancer at the age SAT of 19 the walk took on a deeper significance. The family, SAT and a hundred others, planted trees in Hugh's memory on a SAT nearby hillside and a new section of the walk was created SAT through dense woodland. SAT SAT For this programme Clare revisits Rachael and Rosie and SAT follows the same route. Rob can't make it this time, but in SAT his place is Jonno, Rosie's husband. It's now 11 years since SAT Hugh died and of course the trees have grown; meanwhile SAT Rachael now works in academia where her speciality is - SAT appropriately enough - memory, landscape and therapeutic SAT heritage.

The government SAT wants to see nearly a quarter of a million new homes built SAT each year by 2016. This week, we're looking at what a SAT building boom could mean for our rural communities. SAT SAT Charlotte Smith visits Kemble, a village of around 300 SAT houses in Gloucestershire. Kemble is on a rail mainline to SAT London and has a shop, a school and a pub. SAT SAT However, Kemble is set to grow, planning permission has SAT recently been granted for 50 new houses on farmland. SAT Charlotte speaks to the chairman of Kemble and Ewen Parish SAT council who originally opposed the plans, but are now set to SAT welcome the new development into the village. SAT SAT With land prices holding strong, and each local authority SAT having its own targets for housebuilding, finding new places SAT to build on can be tricky for developers, but could prove SAT lucrative for farmers. Charlotte visits the farm in Kemble SAT which is selling its land for the new housing development. SAT She also stops off at the village pub to see how the new SAT homes could benefit local trade. SAT SAT We also hear from the Country Land and Business Association SAT who are calling for more affordable homes and the Campaign SAT to Protect Rural England who want to see appropriate SAT development in the countryside. SAT SAT Sarah Falkingham visits the Yorkshire Dales to find out how SAT proposed changes to rules on barn conversion to for domestic SAT use have caused controversy on both sides. We also hear how SAT locating industry and business in the countryside could SAT provide a boost to the rural economy. SAT SAT Presented by Charlotte Smith and produced by Jules Benham.

An even greater secret passion is to SAT sing with one. But Big Band is a dying art whose future SAT depends on a few old timers determined to keep the art SAT alive. Garry meets one of them, Tony Douglas, the SAT charismatic 84-year-old leader of a legendary amateur band SAT who invites Garry to train for the headline vocal spot at SAT their next big booking. SAT SAT We join Garry as he explores the future of Big Band while on SAT the bumpy road towards vocal stardom. Two years ago Garry SAT issued a challenge on Radio 4's Saturday Live: "Find me a SAT Big Band for me to sing Frank Sinatra with". Responding to SAT that challenge was Tony Douglas, who now runs the amateur SAT Big Band at the celebrated London adult education institute SAT Morley College - a college whose past staff members include SAT Gustav Holst, Michael Tippett and Vaughan Williams. SAT SAT In When Garry met Tony, Garry rehearses a Frank Sinatra hit SAT with the Morley Big Band. Along the way, he takes tips from SAT singer Kurt Ellins, big band devotee Michael Parkinson and SAT the legendary big band musician and singer Buddy Greco. SAT SAT Garry also discovers more about the origins of big band SAT music as dance music, sustaining Second World War morale SAT before declining in the wake of rock and roll. But, as he SAT finds out, the genre has not disappeared but morphed into a SAT diverse and chameleon-like form whose future, while not SAT certain, is fiercely defended by devotees. SAT SAT The climax of the programme is when Garry finally performs SAT at the Spice of Life jazz club in Soho. Is the man who's SAT only claim to musical ability is playing the vibes with both SAT hands, a second Sinatra? SAT SAT Producer: Kati Whitaker SAT A Kati Whitaker production for BBC Radio 4.

SAT SAT Dr Angela Murray's project Roads to Riches retrieves SAT microscopic amounts of platinum group metals - lost from SAT cars' catalytic converters - from road dust, then uses SAT bacteria to convert them back into catalyst, for example for SAT hydrogen fuel cells. SAT SAT Journalist Adam Minter's book Junkyard Planet reveals how SAT the billion-dollar global recycling trade works. From his SAT vantage point in China, he says that even the worst, SAT dirtiest recycling is still better than the very best SAT mining. SAT SAT Clip SAT empty SAT SAT Adam Minter SAT SAT Adam Minter is an American writer and journalist based in SAT China and the US, and is Shanghai correspondent for SAT Bloomberg World View. Adam has covered the global recycling SAT industry for more than a decade, and his first book is SAT Junkyard Planet: Travels SAT in the Billion-Dollar Trash Trade. He SAT believes that Western recycling should be allowed to flow SAT to where it is needed SAT most; if China didn't import these resources, it would have SAT to dig and drill SAT for them. He says even the worst, SAT dirtiest recycling is still better than the very best SAT clear-cut forest or the SAT most up-to-date open-pit mine. SAT SAT SAT SAT Angela Murray SAT SAT Dr Angela Murray is a chemical engineer, and a Knowledge SAT Transfer Fellow in the School of Biosciences at Birmingham SAT University, in the SAT UK. She was BBSRC Enterprise Fellow SAT 2009-2010, for her university spin out company Roads to SAT Riches. The company SAT uses bacteria to convert platinum group metals lost from SAT cars’ catalytic SAT converters back into usable industrial catalyst. The SAT company’s innovative SAT methods apply new technology to traditional methods of SAT concentrating valuable SAT metals in order to retrieve the metals from road dust. SAT SAT Alison Lewis SAT SAT Professor Alison Lewis is Professor and Head of Department SAT in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the University SAT of Cape Town. She believes acid mine drainage is an SAT environmental disaster in South Africa, and that existing SAT water treatment SAT technologies have reached their limits. SAT She and her colleagues have developed a new technique SAT called Eutectic SAT Freeze Crystallization, which can freeze contaminated water SAT down to the SAT eutectic point, and recover both the water (as ice) and the SAT contaminants (as SAT pure, usable salts).

Kingsley fears that rich, SAT reckless Crystal may have got herself into a scandal and the SAT last place she was known to have been was a resort called SAT Little Fawn Lake. Toby Stephens plays Philip Marlowe in a SAT landmark series bringing all Raymond Chandler's Philip SAT Marlowe novels to Radio 4. SAT SAT Dramatised by Stephen Wyatt SAT Directed by Claire Grove SAT SAT In 1939 Raymond Chandler created a different kind of SAT detective, the fast-talking, trouble seeking Californian SAT private eye Philip Marlowe, for his great novel The Big SAT Sleep. This series brings all the Philip Marlowe novels to SAT Radio 4's Saturday Play. The Big Sleep 1939, Farewell My SAT Lovely 1940, The High Window 1942, The Lady in the Lake SAT 1943, The Little Sister 1949 and The Long Goodbye 1953, and SAT two lesser known novels, Playback 1958 and Poodle Springs, SAT unfinished at the time of his death in 1959. SAT SAT Toby Stephens is best known for playing megavillain Gustav SAT Graves in the James Bond film Die Another Day (2002) and SAT Edward Fairfax Rochester in the BBC television adaptation of SAT Jane Eyre (2006). In autumn 2010 Toby starred as a detective SAT in Vexed, a three-part comedic television series for BBC SAT Two. He also made his debut at the National Theatre as SAT George Danton in Danton's Death. SAT SAT Marlowe is a character we think we know, but do we? He is a SAT moral man in an amoral world. This is California in the SAT '40's and 50's, as beautiful as a ripe fruit and rotten to SAT the core, reflecting all the tarnished glitter of the SAT American Dream. The police are corrupt. The businessmen are SAT well-heeled racketeers with politicians in their pockets and SAT their daughters have gone to the bad. It is the SAT taxi-drivers, maids and bartenders who restore Marlowe's SAT faith in human nature. They scratch out a living at the SAT bottom of the pile and Marlowe is there with them, in his SAT shabby office with its cracked sign and no air-con, waiting SAT for the next client to walk through the door. SAT SAT Raymond Chandler was born in Chicago, but spent most of his SAT boyhood and youth in England, where he attended Dulwich SAT College. In 1919 he returned to the United States, settling SAT in California, where he eventually became director of a SAT number of independent oil companies. The Depression put an SAT end to his business career, and in 1933, at the age of SAT forty-five, he turned to writing, publishing his first SAT stories in Black Mask. By the time he published his first SAT novel, The Big Sleep (1939), featuring the iconic private SAT eye Philip Marlowe, it was clear that he had not only SAT mastered a genre but had set a standard to which others SAT could only aspire. He died in 1959. SAT SAT Stephen Wyatt (dramatist) is a Sony Award Winning SAT Playwright. Recent work for R4 includes dramatising three of SAT the Complete Ripley series including The Talented Mr Ripley SAT for Saturday Afternoon, The Yellow Plush Papers for 11.30am SAT and Tom Jones for Classic Serial. His original play SAT Memorials for the Missing won a Sony Award in 2008.

SAT SAT The National Childbirth Trust wants the government to SAT improve the diagnosis and treatment of tongue-tie in the UK.

SAT SAT Vicki Wickham SAT SAT You may not be familiar with the name, but Vicki Wickham was SAT a true music pioneer of her time. She was the editor of SAT Ready, Steady, Go! - the iconic British music television SAT show which was a driving force for new acts in the swinging SAT sixties, including The Rolling Stones and The Beatles – and SAT which introduced Britain to Motown music. Vicki later SAT managed pop acts such as Labelle, Marc Almond, and SAT Morrissey, but became more known for managing Dusty SAT Springfield’s career, right up to Dusty’s death in 1999. She SAT also co-wrote the lyrics to what became Dusty’s first number SAT one hit You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me.

He’s also known for experimenting SAT with our perceptions of masculinity, often appearing on SAT stage in full makeup and lace outfits.

Maybe shopping has been the key to SAT restoring your relationship? It’s a persistent feminine SAT fantasy that as a mother, going clothes shopping should be SAT one of the best shared experiences with your daughter. But SAT is that always the case? Or does it sometimes lead to power SAT struggles and arguments?

When Paul was a young man he was SAT captivated by the slick, smooth-talking Private Joe Walker SAT in the TV sitcom 'Dad's Army'. A few years later, on his SAT first trip to London, he was soon parted from his money by a SAT man selling dodgy cutlery from a suitcase in Petticoat Lane. SAT Ever since then, he's been fascinated by this tricksy SAT stereotype, and so he has gone through the archives to find SAT out where the factual and the fictional Spiv has gone. SAT SAT One of the spiv's earliest incarnations was a real life SAT conman from the turn of the 20th century called Henry the SAT Spiv Bagster, but the etymology of the word itself is nearly SAT as evasive as a spiv. SAT It's the protean quality of the spiv, the imagined and the SAT real, that is really appealing. Paul follows him as he dips SAT in between light and shade - from the comic representations SAT in the form of his beloved Private Walker and Arthur English SAT to the far murkier and occasionally psychotic characters in SAT films like 'They Made Me a Fugitive'. SAT SAT Paul looks at the specific social and economic conditions of SAT post-war Britain that arguably made a spiv of everyone, and SAT tries to find out where he may have disappeared to now, in SAT these days of relative plenty. SAT SAT With contributions from actor Alan Ford, crime historian SAT Clive Emsley, critic Robert Hanks, columnist Owen Jones and SAT amateur historian Rob Baker who tells Paul about the SAT horrific murder of a real life spiv. Rich archive includes SAT 'Hancock's Half Hour' where Sid hosts a celebration of the SAT return of rationing, first hand testimony from a SAT self-confessed former spiv, and an interview with George SAT Cole.

But now their rivalry SAT is at a height, each having realised their love for the SAT widow, Eleanor Bold. SAT SAT Music composed by David Tobin, Jeff Meegan and Julian SAT Gallant SAT SAT Director: Marion Nancarrow SAT SAT Barchester Towers is the sequel to The Warden. Starting 4 SAT years later, it follows Mr Harding, his daughter Eleanor and SAT his son-in-law, Archdeacon Grantly. Eleanor has returned SAT home after Archdeacon Grantly has accused her of wanting to SAT marry Obidiah Slope. Her disappointment in Francis Arabin SAT has increased, as he seems to be more interested in the SAT tantalising Madeline Neroni. Unknown to Eleanor, Madeline is SAT encouraging her brother, Bertie, to pursue Eleanor too. And SAT on top of all this, there are still two unanswered SAT questions: who will be Warden of Hiram's Hospital and who SAT will replace the old Dean if he dies? SAT SAT The Barchester Chronicles is Anthony Trollope's much-loved SAT series of witty, gently satirical stories of provincial life SAT set within the fictional cathedral town of Barchester and SAT the surrounding county of Barsetshire. With a focus on the SAT lives, loves and tribulations of the local clergy and rural SAT gentry, the canvas is broad and colourful, with a wonderful SAT set of iconic characters whose lives we become intimately SAT involved in as they grow up, grow old and fall in or out of SAT love and friendship across the years.

SAT SAT 22:15 Moral Maze b03vgnjs (Listen) SAT Science and Morality SAT SAT As the flood waters rise and gales rip through the country SAT the debate about climate change has erupted with new energy, SAT with both sides claiming the scientific and moral high SAT ground. So where does that leave us? Whether it's climate SAT change, GM crops or the latest IVF technique - how should we SAT make moral decisions when the facts are in dispute? SAT Environmentalists accuse the sceptics of being climate SAT change "deniers" with all the emotional charge that comes SAT with that word "denier"; while the sceptics accuse the SAT environmentalists of following a quasi-religious cult that SAT is more about controlling people's freedoms than it is about SAT anything to do with the weather. Both claim the science SAT backs up their position and accuse the other side of SAT ignoring and twisting the evidence. Do we rely too much on SAT science being the only reliable and neutral source of SAT knowledge? How often have you heard politicians fall back on SAT the phrase "the science shows that..." when they're SAT promoting their own values and policies? Is science filling SAT in the moral vacuum left by our increasing scepticism of SAT traditional forms of authority? Or is the scientific method SAT the only thing that's saving us from dressing up our own SAT prejudices as moral, right and just? Increasingly we live in SAT an age when we want answers and we want them now. But SAT arguably, we also live in an age when our scientific SAT illiteracy is matched only by our philosophical ignorance. SAT Thankfully the Moral Maze is here to help.

These are volunteers who use their free time SUN to map the world's unmapped places and people. SUN SUN She sees how being on a map affects people's work, education SUN and rights. And in extreme weather or after a natural SUN disaster, she hears how mappers might help us to find the SUN people who have fallen off the maps. She also hears from SUN crisis mappers, people who source any information they can SUN after tragedies to document what is happening on the ground SUN as fast as possible. SUN SUN This story starts in January 2010, when a huge earthquake SUN hit the island nation of Haiti. Thousands of miles away, a SUN group of American students heard about the damage, logged SUN onto their laptops and started mapping any post-disaster SUN information they could find online. Their aim was to help SUN the rescue and relief services save as many lives as SUN possible. SUN SUN Four years on, international contingents of cartographers SUN now deploy after every natural disaster, and in areas of SUN political unrest and civil war. They scour the internet for SUN cries for help on social media, then mark them on maps to SUN try to get help to people who need it most. SUN SUN There's also a project making a continual effort to make the SUN most accurate physical map of the globe. Contributing could SUN mean joining a mapping party in London. Or cycling around SUN rural Uganda with a GPS device. SUN SUN Thousands of volunteers are now spending their spare time SUN contributing to these efforts. Some of those who started it SUN all have become internationally recognised in a new area of SUN expertise. As volunteers assemble around the world, Dr Kat SUN Arney asks how powerful these maps can be and also assesses SUN the problems that come with them.

SUN SUN Produced by Darby Dorras. SUN Assistant Producer: Hannah Newton. SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN This week's questions: SUN SUN Q. Does the panel have any knowledge of using low powered SUN LED light panels to extend the day length for newly SUN germinated seedlings? SUN SUN A. Only in the past few years have they become usable SUN because they now provide the correct spectrum of light to SUN encourage healthy plant growth. Compared to the old growing SUN lamps, they are much more cost effective and burn a lot SUN cooler. They do provide the potential to grow things all the SUN year round; however, it might be more efficient to wait a SUN few weeks and sow them in the traditional manner under a SUN cloche or propagator. It is the early plants, such as SUN cucumbers and tomatoes, which need the extra warmth. The SUN layers of glass surrounding them reduce their light levels, SUN so LED panels can be really beneficial. SUN SUN Q. I had a strange scaly pest covering my Blackcurrants last SUN year. Should I be worried if I see it again? SUN SUN A. It is likely to be a type of scale. They will be sucking SUN the sap from the stems and leaving their eggs behind. You SUN should try pruning them out and be very vigilant. Eggs will SUN be over-wintering, so check the new growth with a magnifying SUN glass and apply a soft soap solution too deter them. The SUN scale only affects the older stems, so prune back hard and SUN only leave young stems. SUN SUN Q. I am trying to create a 'fedge' using Willow saplings. SUN Can I leave them in pots to reduce their growth? SUN SUN A. A 'fedge' is a hybrid between a fence and a hedge. You SUN will need big pots and will have to maintain them. Clip at SUN least five times a year to retain any form. You will find SUN that they will self-graft where they are able to touch other SUN plants. SUN SUN Q. I have two Honeysuckles in my garden: one evergreen and SUN one deciduous. They have become very woody and are no longer SUN attractive. Would it be ok to cut them right back or should SUN I start again? SUN SUN A. It is fine to cut them to the ground but you will lose SUN the flowers. You could cut a third each year to save some of SUN the flowers. You may find that you only have one or two very SUN long, old stems and little young growth to cut further down. SUN If this is the case, try bringing some upper young growth SUN down to the ground and encourage them to root by pegging SUN them. Think about adding other plants, such as the hybrid SUN flowering Clematis Jackmanii Superba. Some of the thornless SUN roses, such as the primrose-like Rosa Banksiae 'Lutea' would SUN work with Honeysuckle. The general rule is to prune after SUN flowering and you won't miss a season. SUN SUN Q. How can I get nice compact heads on my Cauliflower and SUN Calabrese Broccoli? SUN SUN A. Cauliflower is not easy to grow. They need generous SUN spacing and really firm ground.

Make sure you cover them SUN over so that the caterpillars don't get to them. SUN SUN Q. The local roundabouts have recently been replaced by SUN traffic islands. What can we do to inject planting back into SUN our streets? SUN SUN A. Try adding street trees to compensate. You could also try SUN flowering hardy annuals such as Cosmos, Nigella or SUN Calendula. They would only require a skim of soil and would SUN look amazing for the summer period. They are also very cheap SUN and easy to grow. Sow the seeds and you will be able to walk SUN away for nine months before strimming them down and starting SUN again. SUN SUN Q. What could I plant in a redundant wellington boot to give SUN me a colourful display later in the year? SUN SUN A. You need to put some holes in the bottom, add some SUN pebbles to make it sturdy and fill it with good, gritty SUN potting compost. As the boot is a pink colour, you could use SUN a trailing, dark-coloured Petunia. SUN It would be worth planting a range of bulbs and annuals for SUN the autumn. The Guernsey Lily Nerine Sarniensis is a lovely SUN option. It has explosions of fluted curved petals and an SUN almost jeweled frosted finish.

Elizabeth Bennet is a thorough radical for her time SUN and perhaps the first heroine to ask is it possible to have SUN it all?

Since then she's written many SUN best-sellers including Rebecca's Tale - a re-working of SUN Daphne Du Maurier's Rebecca, and more recently The Landscape SUN of Love set partly in the 1990s. Her latest epic, The SUN Visitors, takes us back to Egypt in the 1920s where we have SUN a ringside seat at the discovery of the Tomb of Tutankhamun. SUN SUN It was in the early hours of the 26th of April, 1986 that SUN the world's worst nuclear disaster happened at Chernobyl. SUN While the authorities battled secretly with the explosion in SUN Reactor 4, the Western world started to notice the signs of SUN nuclear fallout. This attempted cover-up and the secrecy SUN around the Chernobyl disaster was at the heart of the Soviet SUN Union's nuclear testing programme as well. SUN SUN Guest Presenter Ellah Allfrey discusses how the Soviet's SUN nuclear legacy is influencing today's literature with SUN Darragh McKeon whose debut, All That is Solid Melts into SUN Air, whose novel looks at the dreadful events that took SUN place at Chernobyl from the perspective of those living in SUN the Soviet Union at the time, and Hamid Ismailov, who SUN explores the lives of a close knit family living near a SUN nuclear testing site in rural Kazakhstan in his novel The SUN Dead Lake. SUN SUN Margie Orford sat her final university exams while detained SUN during South Africa's State of Emergency in 1985, after SUN being arrested at a protest march.

SUN SUN The new private providers will only be paid in full if they SUN achieve a reduction in reoffending.

MON MON It all started with a best-selling book written ten years MON ago called The Game, which revealed the existence of a band MON of men who had incredible success with women, not because of MON their looks, but because they had apparently deconstructed MON the mystery that is the feminine psyche. As a result of the MON book, men around the world formed pick up artist societies MON or "lairs". There are trainers, coaches, videos and forums. MON They have their own vocabulary and acronyms. The central MON tenet of their faith is that men can approach random women MON out of the blue and, provided they structure the interaction MON right, success is virtually guaranteed. MON MON Jolyon spends an afternoon roaming the West End with members MON of the "London Seduction Society", and then joins a weekend MON boot camp in which four unconfident, inexperienced men are MON trained by expert seducers in how to pick up women in Oxford MON Street. Is it all deeply misogynistic or just another form MON of self-help? MON MON Presenter/producer: Jolyon Jenkins.

Their teacher MON logs on as coach and gives one-to-one instruction...exactly MON where it's needed. MON MON The Khan Academy is an online teaching service whose mission MON is to provide a free world-class education to anyone, MON anywhere. In Bill Gates' view, it's "a radical rethinking of MON what it means to go to school". With 10 million users every MON month logging onto their online videos, Salman Khan - the MON Academy's founder - is arguably the most important teacher MON in the world. MON MON "We're losing some of our most creative minds" Salman Khan MON tells Sarah. "The current model of education is 200 years MON old...we have to change that". He argues that - for the MON first time - technology is now available to provide totally MON "personalized learning". "This is really a once in a MON lifetime opportunity....we just can't mess it up". MON MON In this programme, Sarah sets out to discover what the MON classroom of the future will look like. MON MON She visits a Rocketship school in a deprived part of San MON Jose. Around a quarter of the school day in this primary is MON spent online. As a result, they've laid off teachers, MON reinvested the money so that those they've kept are paid up MON to 50% more than teachers in nearby schools - and their MON results have soared. "Our students are now competing with MON some of the most affluent in the state" says the headmaster, MON Preston Smith. But their model is highly controversial. MON MON Sarah also talks to Nolan Bushnell, the "father of modern MON video gaming" and founder of Atari. His latest venture is a MON company called BrainRush. Bushnell believes children can MON learn almost anything through video games. As Sarah gets to MON grips with the names of South American countries in one of MON Bushnell's new video games, he tells her "We want to make MON education addictive. In this brave new world, school has to MON compete for the engagement of the mind. And a teacher with a MON piece of chalk can't compete". MON MON We meet Rupert Murdoch's head of education, Joel Klein. His MON company has developed a tablet that they're rolling out to MON schools across America. "Our ambition, whether it's our MON tablet or other people's tablet, would be that every kid MON would have one of these things. The more we can get MON entrepreneurs and private capital to move into this MON space...the better the education system is going to be". MON It's big business. "Are you planning to sell these tablets MON in the UK" Sarah asks Klein. "Right now our focus is on the MON U.S. If and when it becomes appropriate for us to think MON about expanding we'll look around the world". MON MON Much of the running on this new world of online education is MON being done by people who stand to make a great deal of MON money. MON MON Is this the future of education - the answer to the present MON funding crisis? Have traditional teaching methods outlived MON their usefulness? And how do children learn best? MON MON There are many sceptics. And from some unusual sources. MON Sarah meets the teachers and parents of the Waldorf School - MON where three-quarters of the pupils have parents working for MON companies like Google, Apple and Yahoo - but whose MON classrooms don't have a single computer.

MON MON 21:00 Nature b03vdx7w (Listen) MON Series 8, In Search of Humpback Whales MON MON Every year between January and April, Humpback whales from MON all around the North Atlantic Ocean gather in an area called MON Silver Bank 100km north of the Dominican Republic to breed. MON After calving, the whales migrate north from these lower MON latitudes to their high latitude, summer feeding grounds. MON In June, wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson travelled to MON Husavik on the north coast of Iceland where he joined a MON whale watching trip to look for Humpback whales on their MON feeding grounds - and perhaps even see some of the same MON animals which he had recorded on their breeding grounds MON earlier in the year. MON For many years scientists thought that male humpbacks whales MON only sing on their breeding grounds but in Iceland, Marianne MON Rasmussen and her PhD student have recorded whales singing MON on their feeding grounds in winter during the past four MON years. This has also been observed elsewhere, and one theory MON is that these are young immature whales singing. The songs MON of Humpback whales are quite astonishing; "gorgeous peals of MON sound, sounded like everything that a cello can do .. and MON organised as though it were part of a song" says Katy Payne MON who studied the evolving nature of these songs. The whales MON in any single population sing the same song, but the songs MON gradually evolve and change over time, for reasons which are MON not fully understood. There is still much debate as to why MON males sing; one theory is that it's to stimulate the females MON into oestrous. At Silver Bank, Chris found himself MON surrounded by whales hanging vertically, head down, MON motionless in the shallow waters created by a coral MON platform. When he lowered a pair of hydrophones (underwater MON microphones) beneath the boat, the clear waters were filled MON with the beautiful, haunting songs of Humpback whales. MON Producer Sarah Blunt.

He's not disappointed TUE there are common and ruddy darters, as well as brown and TUE migrant hawkers darting, dashing and hovering over the TUE reeds, or ovipositing their eggs in the water. Robin Wootton TUE describes their extraordinary versatility; "They really have TUE all the capabilities of a helicopter but they do it much TUE quicker" and Milly Sharkey reveals how these insects can see TUE colour and polarised light, even underwater in the larval TUE stage; an advantage in a murky pond.

TUE TUE 15:30 Costing the Earth b03w0gwn (Listen) TUE A Greener Way to Go TUE TUE Many of us are trying to lead a greener life, but how many TUE of us will continue the trend to its logical conclusion... TUE into death? On this week's Costing the Earth, Tom Heap takes TUE to the ocean waves, the forest floor, and the lab, to try TUE and suss out the 'greenest way to go'. TUE TUE Over 70% of us here in the UK choose to be cremated, and the TUE majority of the rest are buried - '6 feet under' - in TUE traditional cemeteries. But for those who might worry about TUE the fossil fuel cost of being burned, or the toxic embalming TUE fluids commonly used in burial, there are other options on TUE the table. TUE TUE We take a blustery boat trip just off the Isle of Wight with TUE one of the UK's only 'Marine Funeral Directors', to hear TUE about the specially designed coffins that help you sink to TUE your final resting place beneath the waves. And if you don't TUE fancy sleeping with the fishes, how about sleeping beneath TUE the shade of a mighty oak? Tom heads to the picturesque TUE Downs of East Hampshire to hear how your final resting place TUE could go hand in hand with an ambitious reforestation TUE project. And he takes a glance into the future of the TUE industry too, with two methods which could be out of a TUE science fiction novel. How would you like your mortal TUE remains to be chemically dissolved in high pressure alkali TUE solution? Or perhaps freeze-dried and frozen, then shattered TUE into an organic powder? And will these 'futuristic' new TUE methods of getting our 'Ashes to Ashes', ever become TUE available on our own shores? TUE TUE Produced in Bristol by Emily Knight.

TUE TUE Each year the number of deaths in every hospital in England TUE is recorded and compared with national averages for the TUE range of patients and conditions treated. The results are TUE published by a company called Dr Foster in The Hospital TUE Guide. TUE The Guide has a solid reputation. Its findings are studied TUE and used by leaders of the NHS. Dr Foster's statistical TUE expert says that high mortality statistics should act as a TUE 'smoke alarm' raising investigation of standards at a TUE hospital. The Care Quality Commission praises Dr Foster's TUE "powerful analysis of hospital trusts" and the Health TUE Secretary says: "We expect all hospitals to examine this TUE data carefully and take action wherever services need to TUE improve". TUE But some leading statisticians question the reliability of TUE mortality statistics as an indication of clinical quality. TUE They argue that publication in a Guide gives NHS managers TUE the incentive to game the system by adjusting the collection TUE of mortality data to lower their scores in the Guide. And TUE they believe that many pockets of poor practice go TUE undetected in hospitals with good mortality scores. TUE Critics also see the publication of such data as an TUE invitation to the press to distort the available evidence by TUE calculating numbers of 'needless deaths' within the NHS. TUE Such calculations have in fact been produced and then given TUE widespread publicity. The NHS Medical Director calls them TUE "clinically meaningless and academically reckless". But they TUE continue to make the front pages. TUE Gerry Northam reports from hospitals which have "worryingly TUE high" mortality statistics according to Dr Foster and asks TUE how much this really shows about their quality of care.

WED WED Upon its publication in the UK, Lindsay Ashford's fictional WED interpretation of the few facts surrounding Jane Austen's WED mysterious death sparked an international debate and uproar. WED None of the medical theories offers a satisfactory WED explanation of Jane Austen's early demise at the age of 41. WED Could it be that what everyone has assumed was a death by WED natural causes was actually more sinister? Lindsay Ashford's WED vivid novel delves deep into Austen's world and puts forth a WED shocking suggestion-was someone out to silence her? WED WED Andrew Davies, who has a phenomenal track record in WED adaptation, has collaborated with Eileen Horne in recent WED years, first as writer and producer on a new TV version of WED Room with a View (2007) and as writer and editor on The WED Purple Land for Radio 4 (2011).

Mao Zedong and 86,000 Red WED Army men and women started the epic journey in Jiangxi WED province, battling their way across 8,000 miles of plains, WED rivers and mountains to escape Chiang Kai-Shek's WED Nationalists. Only a few thousand of them made it to the end WED a year later. Mao called the march "a manifesto", a symbol WED of the endurance needed to build a new China, but in a way WED the March has never ended - it has endlessly been retold in WED speeches, books and films and reinterpreted to meet China's WED changing preoccupations. In these programmes Edward Stourton WED follows in the footsteps of the Long March to explore what WED actually happened and why it still matters so much today. In WED his journey he uncovers the raw reality of the March and the WED way it is remembered in the official histories and meets a WED remarkable 98 year old veteran who survived it all.

THU None of the medical theories offers a satisfactory THU explanation of Jane Austen's early demise at the age of 41.

THU THU This was a brave new world and the Catholic Church wanted THU their places of worship to meet the needs of a new era. THU THU In a culture never quite comfortable with the high modern THU influences of Europe and America, Metzstein and MacMillan THU drew on the ideas of Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright THU with unparalleled freedom. THU THU Their masterpiece was St Peter's Seminary at Cardross, which THU stood out like a spaceship in the modest construction yards THU of British architecture. It's a ghost space now, abandoned THU in 1980 just 14 years after completion. THU THU While most of their churches are still in use, their THU Modernist design and location means they stand like THU monuments to a very different time; a time when Catholicism THU in Scotland was expected to spread its wings. THU THU Jonathan Glancey explores Scotland's physical and spiritual THU landscape to discover more about the extraordinary lives of THU two of Britain's most talented architects.

Cast THU includes fantastic actors Tamsin Greig, John Standing, Paul THU Bhattacharjee, Christopher Douglas, Vicky Pepperdine, Phil THU Cornwell, Jo Bobin and Katherine Jakeways. THU THU For years Bill Dare wanted to create a satire about THU different worlds exploring Kipling's idea that we travel, THU 'not just to explore civilizations, but to better understand THU our own'. But science fiction and space ships never THU interested him, so he put the idea on ice. Then Brian THU Gulliver arrived and meant that our hero could be lost in a THU fictional world without the need for any sci-fi. THU THU Satirical targets over the series: the medical profession THU and its need to pathologize everything; the effect of THU marriage on children; spirituality and pseudo-science; THU compensation culture; sexism; the affect of our obsession THU with fame. THU THU Gulliver's Travels is the only book Bill Dare read at THU university. His father, Peter Jones, narrated a similarly THU peripatetic radio series: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the THU Galaxy.
