SAT        Doubling Back, Walking Home
SAT        
SAT        A beautiful, fascinating and moving memoir where the author
SAT        retraces walks undertaken by others, from the Highlands of
SAT        Scotland to the Swiss Alps and Kenya.
SAT        
SAT        In 1952 Linda Cracknell's father embarked on a hike through
SAT        the Swiss Alps. Fifty years later Linda retraces that
SAT        fateful journey, following the trail of the man she barely
SAT        knew. This collection of walking tales takes its theme from
SAT        that pilgrimage. The walks trace the contours of history,
SAT        following writers, relations and retreading ways across
SAT        mountains, valleys and coasts formerly trodden by drovers,
SAT        saints and adventurers. Each walk is about the reaffirming
SAT        of memories, beliefs and emotions, and especially of the
SAT        connection that one can have with the past through
SAT        particular places.
SAT        
SAT        Part Five: Walking Home
SAT        Linda Cracknell looks to the future as she walks the
SAT        pilgrimage route of St Cuthbert's Way between Scotland and
SAT        England and as she follows her own footsteps around her home
SAT        town of Aberfeldy in Perthshire.

SAT        Today on Ramblings, Clare Balding walks with a group of
SAT        women who met while on a horse-trekking trip in Outer
SAT        Mongolia. Firm friendships were formed on that adventure,
SAT        and since then the group has met many times. For the past
SAT        five years they've been walking Offa's Dyke bit-by-bit, and
SAT        they've now reached the section that runs close to Hay on
SAT        Wye, which is where Ramblings is based this week.
SAT        
SAT        The theme for this series of Ramblings is 'water ways'. This

SAT        The Power of Expectation
SAT        
SAT        How good are you at blind tasting? Could you tell if you
SAT        sipped three different cups of coffee which was the best
SAT        quality without seeing the price? And if you were given a
SAT        pill to cure a headache - do you think it would help,
SAT        regardless of whether it was real medicine or not? The
SAT        Swedish neuroscientist Predrag Petrovic asks if a doctor's
SAT        expectations can affect the success of a patient's
SAT        treatment, the Indian neuro-economist Baba Shiv explains why
SAT        consumers expect something to be better if they pay more,
SAT        and the American musicologist Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis on
SAT        why our enjoyment of music is determined by what we're
SAT        expecting to hear. Photo credit: Science Photo Library
SAT        
SAT        Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis
SAT        Professor Elizabeth
SAT        Hellmuth Margulis is Director of the Music Cognition Lab at
SAT        the University of
SAT        Arkansas in the United States, and author of “On Repeat:
SAT        How music plays the
SAT        Mind”. Her research approaches music from the perspective
SAT        of cognitive science,
SAT        and focuses on the dynamic moment to moment experience of
SAT        listeners without
SAT        special musical training. She believes expectation is
SAT        crucial to our enjoyment
SAT        of music, and that when we listen to music, we are always
SAT        forming expectations
SAT        of what comes next. 
SAT        
SAT        Predrag Petrovic
SAT        Predrag Petrovic is a
SAT        Swedish neuroscientist from the Karolinska Institute in
SAT        Stockholm and one of
SAT        the world's leading researchers on the placebo effect,
SAT        which works by
SAT        manipulating a patient’s expectation of their treatment.
SAT        Professor Petrovic has
SAT        initiated the first ever study of the doctor rather than
SAT        the patient in the
SAT        placebo effect, by scanning the brain of the physician
SAT        during treatment of
SAT        patients. From his results, he explains why he puts down
SAT        the success of the
SAT        placebo effect to the interaction of the expectations
SAT        activated in both the
SAT        brain of the patient and the physician.  Photo by Ulf

SAT        Baba Shiv
SAT        Baba Shiv is an Indian
SAT        psychologist and Professor of Marketing at Stanford
SAT        Graduate Business School.
SAT        Much of his work examines the interplay of the brain’s
SAT        “liking” and “wanting”
SAT        systems and its implications for marketing and decision
SAT        making.  Baba Shiv recently conducted a study on wine,
SAT        where he found that a person prefers wine if they’re told
SAT        it’s more expensive.
SAT        He sees this as a wake-up call for consumers, who need to
SAT        look at rationalising
SAT        their expectations, and focus on inner rather than outer
SAT        cues, like price and
SAT        packaging.

SAT        A person with a Power of Attorney to look after the finances
SAT        of an elderly relative should be able to operate their bank
SAT        accounts as if they were their own. But Money Box has
SAT        discovered that some banks still impose restrictions and
SAT        administer the whole process badly - a year after a new
SAT        guidance was supposed to sort that out. Paul Lewis asks the
SAT        Financial Ombudsman Service - which gets 300 to 400
SAT        complaints a year - what goes wrong and he asks the British
SAT        Bankers' Association why banks are struggling to get it
SAT        right. And joining Paul live in the studio is Caroline
SAT        Bielanska from Solicitors for the Elderly.

SAT        From Sunday 1 June you can put another £10,000 into premium
SAT        bonds as the maximum holding is raised from £30,000 to
SAT        £40,000. A second million pound monthly prize will be
SAT        created too. And next year the maximum limit will rise
SAT        further to £50,000. All this will give those who can afford
SAT        it a better chance of winning a prize. But are premium bonds
SAT        a good investment for those who can afford to put in the
SAT        maximum? And what about people with smaller amounts? Paul
SAT        Lewis crunches the odds with Jonquil Lowe, a lecturer in
SAT        personal finance at the Open University.

SAT        Meanwhile this week, Nationwide has been warning that the

SAT        And a new code of practice to speed up the process of trying
SAT        to get your money back when you've accidentally sent it to

SAT        really help, or will you have to enter the dark world of a
SAT        Norwich Pharmacal Order? Paul Lewis speaks to Joshua
SAT        Rozenberg from Radio 4's Law in Action programme and Neil
SAT        Aitken from the Payments Council.

SAT        Classic Chandler, Poodle Springs
SAT        
SAT        By Raymond Chandler and Robert B. Parker
SAT        Dramatised by Robin Brooks
SAT        
SAT        Fresh from his honeymoon with heiress Linda Loring, Philip
SAT        Marlowe has set up shop in the upmarket Californian town of
SAT        Poodle Springs. But the life of a kept man soon loses its
SAT        charm, and when he's asked to find a gambler on the run from
SAT        his debts, Marlowe can't resist. Toby Stephens plays iconic
SAT        detective Philip Marlowe.
SAT        
SAT        The eighth and final Philip Marlowe novel, Raymond
SAT        Chandler's Poodle Springs was unfinished at the time of the
SAT        author's death in 1959. It remained so for another 30 years,
SAT        until crime writer Robert B. Parker completed the novel to
SAT        mark the centenary of Chandler's birth.

SAT        15:30 Tales from the Stave b044gvzf (Listen)
SAT        Series 10, Elgar's Salut D'Amour
SAT        
SAT        In this tenth series of Tales from the Stave Frances Fyfield
SAT        takes her musical investigation of the handwritten
SAT        manuscripts of our greatest composers back to the birthplace
SAT        of the man who was the subject of the first ever programme.
SAT        The cottage in which Edward Elgar was born in Lower
SAT        Broadheath, near Worcester, is now a museum in his honour,
SAT        and amongst the rich archive of his life and that of his
SAT        wife Alice is the piece that confirmed their relationship.
SAT        Salut D'Amour was Elgar's response to a poem 'Love's Grace'
SAT        that Alice had written to him in 1888. The museum has both
SAT        the original poem and the careful perfection of Elgar's
SAT        autograph score of Salut D'Amour which was sent to the
SAT        publisher Schott. It has all the hallmarks of Elgar's
SAT        elegant hand, complete with detailed corrections pasted over
SAT        the manuscript and the composers confident list of potential
SAT        versions of the piece for piano and violin, piano solo and
SAT        orchestra. Originally called Liebesgruss - or love's
SAT        greeting, it was translated into French on the advice of the
SAT        publisher. Elgar and Alice both spoke good German but
SAT        French, they suggested, would sell better. Sell it certainly
SAT        did. In Elgar's lifetime it was one of his most famous
SAT        compositions.
SAT        
SAT        Frances is joined at the Birthplace museum by Pianist Lucy
SAT        Parham, Violinist and scholar Rupert Marshall Luck who has
SAT        been working on a new edition of the piece, and handwriting
SAT        analyst Ruth Rostron.
SAT        The museum supervisor Chris Bennett invites Frances' guests
SAT        to play the piece from the score in the composers own hand,
SAT        a unique and moving moment for both.
SAT        But it's the importance of Alice Elgar in the life of the
SAT        composer that sings through this tiny musical gem. It's a
SAT        piece often dismissed by those who would only have Elgar as
SAT        the grandest of grand artists, as mere Salon music. However
SAT        as Frances discovers it contains the very best of him for
SAT        the very best of her, and in spite of rumours of friction
SAT        and distance in later married life, the bond between them
SAT        remained solid. It was cemented first in Salut D'Amour.

SAT        
SAT        Can you keep business safe from hackers? Many companies now
SAT        feel besieged by constant attacks and few can claim not to
SAT        have been targeted. In the first of a new series of the
SAT        award-winning The Bottom Line Evan Davis and guests discuss
SAT        the anatomy of a cyber attack - where the threats are coming
SAT        from and how best to respond. And they'll ask - should
SAT        businesses be more honest about the security breaches
SAT        they've faced?

SAT        Ken Loach's film, Joshua Ferris's novel, The Normal Heart on 
SAT        TV, Bakersfield Mist and The Whitstable Biennale 
SAT         
SAT        Bakersfield Mist at London's Duchess Theatre stars Hollywood 
SAT        actress Kathleen Turner in a play about a woman who's 
SAT        convinced she's turned up a Jackson Pollock original in a 
SAT        junk shop. 
SAT        Ken Loach's new film Jimmy's Hall tells the story of the 
SAT        only Irishman ever to be deported from his own country as an 
SAT        illegal alien. As the Irish Republic was struggling to be 
SAT        born, Jimmy Gralton ran up against the Church and State too 
SAT        many times and their solution was to send him to America. 
SAT        Irish history is familiar territory for Loach; what does 
SAT        this story tell us about today? 
SAT        To Rise Again at a Decent Hour is Joshua Ferris's novel 
SAT        about dentistry and the meaning of life. What can a man do 
SAT        when his analog life is hijacked and put on the internet? 
SAT        Whitstable Biennale is a festival of contemporary British 
SAT        art on the south coast of England. It grew out of the 
SAT        developing artists' community in the town and focuses on 
SAT        moving image and performance, with a range of new 
SAT        commissions and specially curated programs. 
SAT        The Normal Heart was Larry Kramer's play about the AIDS 
SAT        epidemic in 1980s America. He's adapted it into a TV drama 
SAT        for HBO and it's been warmly received in the USA. What will

SAT        Sentimental Journey 
SAT         
SAT        Gyles Brandreth (who's related to George R. Sims, the author 
SAT        of 'Christmas Day in the Workhouse') surveys the history of 
SAT        sentimentality from Charles Dickens to Princess Diana and 
SAT        from Agincourt to the internet - and wonders whether to 
SAT        sneer or cheer. Tear-jerking contributors from the archives 
SAT        include Beverley Nichols, Godfrey Winn, Patience Strong and 
SAT        Hughie Greene. New readings are by Simon Russell Beale and 
SAT        Jenny Seagrove, who contribute their own opinions about the 
SAT        sentimentality of Shakespeare and Noel Coward.

SAT        The Unions 
SAT         
SAT        John Harris and Anne McElvoy host a new series of debates on 
SAT        institutions under pressure. The series begins with the 
SAT        current state of the trade unions. What are they for ? How 
SAT        do they work ? Could we make them better ? 
SAT         
SAT        Union membership has fallen sharply in recent years, so John 
SAT        Harris of the Guardian and Anne McElvoy of the Economist 
SAT        gather key insiders and members of the public to rethink the 
SAT        state of the unions. With Frances O'Grady, General Secretary 
SAT        of the TUC; Alan Johnson MP, Britain's most famous former 
SAT        postman and one time General Secretary of the Unions of 
SAT        Communication Workers; David Skelton of Renewal, which aims

SAT        Standing, author of A Precariat's Charter.

SAT        LAST WEEK'S TEASER QUESTION AND ANSWER 
SAT         
SAT        With only minor changes, can you turn a measure of physical 
SAT        health into a pastime that might lead to injury, and then 
SAT        into a publication where you might read about 
SAT        both? SAT        "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 
SAT         
SAT        One measure of your physical health might be your BMI, or 
SAT        Body Mass Index. The pastime that might lead to injury is 
SAT        BMX (bicycle motorcross) – and the publication which might 
SAT        well feature articles about both of the above is the BMJ, or 
SAT        British Medical Journal. You’d be changing just one letter 
SAT        each time.

SUN        Spirituality without God 
SUN         
SUN        Mark Tully asks if we need God when seeking a spiritual 
SUN        approach to life, or whether the concept of a deity can 
SUN        sometimes get in the way. 
SUN         
SUN        Drawing from music with religious themes, including Mahler's 
SUN        Resurrection Symphony and John Rutter's Cantate Domino, he 
SUN        examines the power that the notion of God can imbue in work 
SUN        created by agnostics, atheists, and religious doubters. And 
SUN        in literature he considers Salman Rushdie's belief that art 
SUN        can replace God in the search for transcendence, and Iris 
SUN        Murdoch's view that the concepts of God and the afterlife 
SUN        are, in fact, anti-religious ideas. 
SUN         
SUN        The programme features an interview with Iris Murdoch's 
SUN        biographer, Peter Conradi, who discusses with Mark the role 
SUN        of spirituality without God, in tempering the excesses of 
SUN        materialism and atheism in our modern world.

SUN        Working Families 
SUN        The way we work in the UK is bad for us. For many parents 
SUN        paid work means raising children in poverty. Half of all 
SUN        children living in poverty have at least one parent who is 
SUN        working, and many parents scrape together small incomes from 
SUN        several low-paid jobs. Families who are cash poor are often 
SUN        extremely time poor. 
SUN        At the other extreme, there are the cash-rich families with 
SUN        very time-poor parents, often working in 24/7 global jobs – 
SUN        for them, family life suffers as well. However, we know that 
SUN        work is important for  individuals and for families, so we 
SUN        have spent the last 35 years trying to make it better for 
SUN        everyone.  
SUN         
SUN        Helpline 
SUN        We support parents on low incomes to enable them to stay in 
SUN        work. Our legally trained advisers on the Working Families’ 
SUN        Helpline  take over 3,000 calls each year from people who 
SUN        have problems at work (50 per cent are maternity-related) to 
SUN        help them resolve the issue and stay in a job. We help 
SUN        people write letters and prepare for meetings they may have 
SUN        with their employers all the way through to resolution. 
SUN         
SUN        Research, Policy and Campaigning 
SUN         
SUN        Our ground breaking research – on fathers at work, flexible 
SUN        working, on what families need – combined with our deep 
SUN        understanding of what employers want, means that government 
SUN        listens to us.  This year we celebrate the Right to Request 
SUN        Flexible Working for all, and in 2015 Shared Parental Leave 
SUN        will enable fathers and mothers to take time off with their 
SUN        new baby. 
SUN         
SUN        Employers 
SUN         
SUN        We work with large and small employers on their policies and 
SUN        practice - helping them to realise the skills and talents of 
SUN        every employee - to create work which works for families and 
SUN        business alike.

SUN        Phil 
SUN        : Here at Scargill we run a variety of programmes and 
SUN        retreats. This weekend is for writers, and its title 
SUN        ‘Panning for Gold’ is also the theme of our service this 
SUN        morning. I'm going to ask Adrian Plass, who’s leading the 
SUN        programme with his wife Bridget, to explain what it’s all 
SUN        about. 
SUN        Adrian 
SUN        : Panning for gold involves placing a mix of materials into 
SUN        your gold pan and shaking it under water so that the gold, 
SUN        which is heavy, will work its way down to the bottom, while 
SUN        the lighter, worthless materials move up to the surface and 
SUN        can be swept away. Eventually, only the heaviest materials, 
SUN        gold and heaviest black sand are left. Using this process as 
SUN        a metaphor we have been using this weekend to explore the 
SUN        recording of individual spiritual journeys. A number of 
SUN        interesting questions have arisen. In terms of experiences, 
SUN        how do we differentiate between genuine and false gold? Are 
SUN        some gifts from God, the unsigned ones in 
SUN        particular,??difficult to recognise as real treasure? How 
SUN        much of our precious metal has kept its sparkle over the 
SUN        years? And in the darkest times, is it still possible to 
SUN        detect some reassuring, tiny specks of gold? Our service 
SUN        this morning picks up and explores some of these themes.

SUN         
SUN          
SUN        Phil 
SUN        : Many thanks to Celeste, five former cathedral choristers 
SUN        who came together as a singing group two (?) years ago and 
SUN        have joined us this morning. 
SUN         
SUN        We’ve chosen two very different readings today to show that 
SUN        the true gold of God comes in varied and sometimes quite 
SUN        alarming forms. In Matthew’s Gospel we hear how Mary, the 
SUN        mother of Jesus, received a message from Simeon about her 
SUN        little son and his future that must have been very hard to 
SUN        hear. But they were true words from God. Genuine and 
SUN        valuable. 
SUN         
SUN          
SUN        Steph 
SUN        : Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was 
SUN        righteous and devout.He was waiting for the consolation of 
SUN        Israeland the Holy Spirit was on him.It had been revealed to 
SUN        him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had 
SUN        seen the Lord’s Messiah.Moved by the Spirit, he went into 
SUN        the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child 
SUN        Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, 
SUN        Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: 
SUN         
SUN        "Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, 
SUN        you may now dismiss your servant in peace. 
SUN        For my eyes have seen your salvation, 
SUN        which you have prepared in the sight of all nations: 
SUN        a light for revelation to the Gentiles, 
SUN        and the glory of your people Israel." 
SUN         
SUN        The child’s father and mother marvelled at what was said 
SUN        about him.Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his 
SUN        mother:"This child is destined to cause the falling and 
SUN        rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be 
SUN        spoken against, 
SUN        so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a 
SUN        sword will pierce your own soul too." 
SUN        Adrian: 
SUN        It was always going to be tough for Mary. She must have 
SUN        known that from the very beginning. When she was still a 
SUN        teenager an angel turned up and announced to her, ‘Mary, you 
SUN        are greatly blessed,’ and immediately, the Bible says, ‘she 
SUN        was deeply troubled.’ So there we are. Greatly blessed and 
SUN        deeply troubled. The ongoing pattern for Mary, and for just 
SUN        about every other serious follower of Jesus who has ever 
SUN        lived. It was ever thus, and it will ever be so. And to 
SUN        anyone listening who is continually blessed and never 
SUN        troubled, can I just say, ‘Congratulations - please stay 
SUN        away from me.’ 
SUN         
SUN        So, here is Mary now, in the temple, carrying her little 
SUN        darling in her arms, and, as usual, the news from God, via 
SUN        the prophet Simeon this time, is sounding extravagantly 
SUN        good, and bewilderingly negative. Apparently, this tiny 
SUN        person is going to be a light for revelation to the 
SUN        Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel. You don’t get 
SUN        career guidance like that nowadays. Fantastic! Bring it on! 
SUN         
SUN          
SUN         
SUN        The other side of the prophetic coin? Oh, dear. Not so good. 
SUN        He’s going to cause the falling and rising of many, he’ll be 
SUN        a sign that will be spoken against, and a sword will pierce 
SUN        his mother’s heart. What! He’s just a little boy. Is he 
SUN        really going to cause all that havoc? And his poor mum! A 
SUN        sword. Heavy stuff. Where are we going to find the gold in 
SUN        that lot? 
SUN         
SUN        The answer, of course, is that the whole thing is pure gold. 
SUN        Simeon’s prophecy is a timely reminder to nervous, 
SUN        comfortable western Christianity that coaxing people into 
SUN        believing that suffering, and tough obedience, and a serious 
SUN        determination to think right outside the religious box are 
SUN        not necessary components of Christian living, is a very bad 
SUN        idea indeed. 
SUN         
SUN        Every genuine communication from God, welcome or otherwise, 
SUN        has precisely the same value. We might be lucky, of course. 
SUN        The spectrum of the will of God definitely begins with a gin 
SUN        and tonic in the bath, but it ends with martyrdom. God being 
SUN        God, we might even be allowed a gin and tonic just before we 
SUN        set out for our martyrdom. But this is serious stuff, if 
SUN        that is, we really do want to follow Jesus. Everything - 
SUN        every single thing on that spectrum, nice or nasty, is 
SUN        completely acceptable to God, as long as we accept and are 
SUN        obedient to whatever it is he wants us to do. Wonderful. 
SUN        Scary. Valuable beyond measure. Pure gold.

SUN        Phil 
SUN        : Mary stored these things in her heart, a heart that was to 
SUN        be pierced, just as Simeon had predicted. But she was also 
SUN        to learn the staggering truth that her obedience was part of 
SUN        God’s plan to save the world. In the second reading, brought 
SUN        to us by Bishop Chris Edmondson, Chair of our Trustees, 
SUN        we’re told, through the parable of the Prodigal Son, that, 
SUN        because of Jesus, there are golden experiences promised by 
SUN        God to those who return home to him. 
SUN         
SUN          
SUN        Bishop Chris: 
SUN        When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my 
SUN        father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am 
SUN        starving to death! 
SUN        I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: 
SUN        Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.I am no 
SUN        longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of 
SUN        your hired servants.’ 
SUN        So he got up and went to his father. 
SUN         
SUN        But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him 
SUN        and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, 
SUN        threw his arms around him and kissed him. 
SUN         
SUN        The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven 
SUN        and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your 
SUN        son.’ 
SUN         
SUN        But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best 
SUN        robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals 
SUN        on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have 
SUN        a feast and celebrate.For this son of mine was dead and is 
SUN        alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to 
SUN        celebrate.

SUN        : Familiar Bible passages can be like pictures on our 
SUN        sitting room wall that become almost invisible because they 
SUN        are part of the background of our lives. Then a visitor 
SUN        says, ‘Ooh, I love your picture!’ and suddenly we remember 
SUN        why we bought it in the first place. 
SUN         
SUN        The Prodigal Son story illustrates God’s promise of a 
SUN        twenty-four carat golden experience offered to all who make 
SUN        the journey home to a Father who passionately loves them. 
SUN        That’s what the story is about. We know that. But perhaps it 
SUN        has been, as it were, ‘hanging on the wall’ for rather a 
SUN        long time. 
SUN         
SUN        It’s become fashionable to look at this tale from the point 
SUN        of view of just about everybody except the two central 
SUN        characters. The elder brother, the servants who worked in 
SUN        the Father’s house, a fly who happened to be sunbathing on a 
SUN        wall of the house when the younger son returned, and, of 
SUN        course, the fatted calf, the only one with anything to 
SUN        really complain about. Some even crossly claim that this 
SUN        story should actually be known as ‘The parable of the failed 
SUN        father’. 
SUN         
SUN        I guess Jesus might say, ‘Look, it’s a parable - right? It’s 
SUN        not a modern psychological novel or an episode of 
SUN        Eastenders. It’s a parable about God being really, really 
SUN        excited about the people he loves coming home. Right? A 
SUN        parable! Got it?’ 
SUN         
SUN        Okay, so if we do get back to the heart of this iconic 
SUN        story, here’s a question. Why do many Christians speak so 
SUN        sadly about not knowing the love of God in their lives. 
SUN        Where’s the ring? Where’s the cloak? Where’s the fatted 
SUN        calf? Where’s the party? The answer? Well, a string of 
SUN        useless platitudes are available if you want to use them. 
SUN        The trouble is, they don’t work. 
SUN         
SUN        I’d like to say just two things. First, I truly believe that 
SUN        this golden experience is available for everyone. Secondly, 
SUN        I know that many, many of us prodigals have been, as it 
SUN        were, ambushed on our way home to the Father, finding 
SUN        ourselves trapped in what we might call ‘Mime churches’, and 
SUN        it can happen in any denomination or style of churchmanship. 
SUN        The ring, the cloak, the party, all of these things happen 
SUN        in a metaphorical or ceremonial sense, but in our heart of 
SUN        hearts we know that they are without substance. Glittering 
SUN        falsehood. My advice? Move along up the road. Take a bit of 
SUN        a risk. Tell the Father you’re on your way. Get excited. Go 
SUN        for gold.

SUN        This morning we’ve been panning for gold, searching for 
SUN        shining flecks of evidence that God is present in our lives. 
SUN        Bridget: 
SUN        We’ve learned that the precious metal of God’s love does not 
SUN        necessarily come to us in a form that is easily 
SUN        recognisable. Light and shade are both important aspects of 
SUN        the Christian walk, and we need to accept and understand the 
SUN        value of anything that God asks us to do. 
SUN        Adrian: 
SUN        We need to be wary of false gold, hollow religion that 
SUN        mimics the truth and leaves us without hope. Only the real

SUN        Bridget:

SUN        Kirsty Young's castaway this week is the TV producer and 
SUN        former Blue Peter editor Biddy Baxter. 
SUN         
SUN        In charge of Blue Peter for 23 highly successful years, she 
SUN        was responsible for the coveted Blue Peter badges, the 
SUN        multi-million pound charity fundraising appeals and a 
SUN        nationwide lust for something called sticky-backed plastic. 
SUN        Her masterstroke was getting the young audience involved; 
SUN        although the programme's weekly postbag of around seven 
SUN        thousand letters must have given her a few headaches. 
SUN         
SUN        In spite of some early careers advice that, "no one from 
SUN        Durham has ever got into the BBC", her determination to make 
SUN        a career in broadcasting won out and across the decades her 
SUN        steely reputation kept the show at the top of the ratings 
SUN        and steered it through quite a few mishaps and the odd spot

SUN        13:30 A Good Man in Rwanda b045741x (Listen) 
SUN        On 7 April 1994, Mbaye Diagne, a Senegalese captain working 
SUN        with the UN's peacekeeping mission in Kigali, helped save 
SUN        the lives of five children. They were the children of 
SUN        Rwanda's moderate Hutu Prime Minister, Agathe 
SUN        Uwilingiyimana, who had just been murdered by Hutu 
SUN        extremists. 
SUN        Mbaye Diagne was to carry out many further acts of heroism 
SUN        during the genocide, which claimed the lives of well over 
SUN        half a million people, mainly ethnic Tutsis. Most were 
SUN        bludgeoned and hacked to death with clubs and machetes at 
SUN        the behest of the Hutu government which had just taken 
SUN        power. 
SUN        Mark Doyle travels to Rwanda, Senegal and Canada to meet the 
SUN        people who knew Mbaye Diagne. He meets the man who commanded 
SUN        the UN peacekeeping force, General Romeo Dallaire. He meets 
SUN        Diagne's wife and one of his closest comrades in arms. And, 
SUN        he meets the people whose lives he saved, some of whom have 
SUN        never told their stories before. 
SUN        "I saw evil in Rwanda in 1994" says Mark Doyle, "but I also 
SUN        saw extraordinary acts of courage by people who simply knew 
SUN        what was right and what was wrong. Mbaye Diagne was just 
SUN        such a person - a good man in Rwanda".

SUN         
SUN        This week's questions and answers: 
SUN         
SUN        Q: Are Brandling worms doing any damage to my garden? 
SUN         
SUN        A: No. They are fantastically good for your garden! They 
SUN        digest leaf-litter and increase the fertility of the soil. 
SUN         
SUN        Q: What would the panel suggest for a small, north-facing 
SUN        garden measuring 7 meters by 5 meters? I am looking for all 
SUN        year round colour. 
SUN         
SUN        A: A Canna iridiflora would do well. You could also try 
SUN        planting flowering annuals in tall containers. 
SUN         
SUN        Q: When and how should I take cuttings from my Clematis? 
SUN         
SUN        A: Start taking cuttings in June and keep on trying until 
SUN        September. Try slitting the cutting and scraping the bark 
SUN        off as this will encourage root growth. You could also try 
SUN        to train one of the plant's young shoots through the hole in 
SUN        a plastic pot, damage the bark, then fill the pot with 
SUN        compost, use a couple of clothes pegs to hold it in place 
SUN        and then when it has rooted cut it off and take it away to 
SUN        plant. 
SUN         
SUN        Q: I have two different species of espalier apple trees, 
SUN        planted six or seven years ago against a northwest-facing 
SUN        wall. One produces loads of fruit, but there is no plant 
SUN        growth, the other grows prolifically but does not fruit. How 
SUN        can I persuade them to share their talents more equally? 
SUN         
SUN        A: Espalier apple trees should remain fairly small and 
SUN        produce a lot of fruit. The depth that the trees were 
SUN        planted and the amount of moisture they receive would affect 
SUN        the growth rate. Bramley apple trees are known to grow more 
SUN        vigorously than any other apple variety. Make sure you prune 
SUN        back hard in October and give the tree that is growing a 
SUN        good amount of potash (combined with wood ash) and this will 
SUN        encourage the tree to flower. The smaller tree may also be 
SUN        on a very small dwarfing rootstock, and this might be what 
SUN        is inhibiting the growth. You could also try a summer prune 
SUN        in July and this will encourage more flower buds. You could 
SUN        try moving the trees to a sunnier wall. 
SUN         
SUN        Q: What adverse affects will a mild winter and an early 
SUN        spring have had on the garden this year? 
SUN         
SUN        A: With such a year, there might be a risk that certain 
SUN        plants haven't gone dormant in the winter and with therefore 
SUN        not return with a bang in spring. This means there will be 
SUN        fewer flowers in the spring and less fruit throughout the 
SUN        summer. In eastern areas, it has been very dry, making 
SUN        germination difficult. But on the plus side, plants such as 
SUN        crocuses really thrived because of the mild winter. 
SUN         
SUN        Q: What could I grow up a wire-mesh fence that would be 
SUN        hardy enough to withstand the sea winds and produce a good 
SUN        display of flowers? 
SUN         
SUN        A: Nasturtiums give fantastic colour, and in poor soil, they 
SUN        produce more flowers. Grisilineas, Osmanthus and Escallonias 
SUN        would resist the salt spray. Clematis Alpina, Clematis 
SUN        orientalis or Clematis Tangutica would also survive. 
SUN         
SUN        Q: My neighbours' old Oak tree hangs over my garden. A black 
SUN        substance has dripped onto my plants, so I have had to move 
SUN        them. What has produced this black substance and what can I 
SUN        do? 
SUN         
SUN        A: Over 350 species of insects are thought to live on Oaks 
SUN        and it is one of these species producing the black 
SUN        droppings. These droppings can encourage fungal growth, 
SUN        which is not good for your plants. You could take a powerful 
SUN        jet of water to wash off the droppings to prevent long-term

SUN         
SUN        Q: My Peonies are in bud, but they are black and don't look 
SUN        as if they are going to open. What has happened? 
SUN         
SUN        A: The outer scale leaves have become saturated with water 
SUN        and have prevented the buds from developing properly. Your 
SUN        best bet is to cut off all the buds like this (saving the 
SUN        plant the energy it would have put into flower growth) and 
SUN        wait for next year when they should produce a lot of 
SUN        flowers. 
SUN         
SUN        Q: I was given a Fig stem planted in used coffee grounds. 
SUN        What are the uses of coffee grounds in the garden and how 
SUN        can I get my fig to flower and fruit? 
SUN         
SUN        A: Used coffee grounds are used as slug repellent. The Fig 
SUN        will never flower, as the plant is pollinated in a rather 
SUN        unusual way. However, the plant will produce a seedless 
SUN        fruit if you restrict the root growth by planting it in a 
SUN        pot and then put it in the sunniest spot in the garden.

SUN         
SUN        The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a 
SUN        snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the 
SUN        UK volunteer to have a conversation with someone close to 
SUN        them about a subject they've never discussed intimately 
SUN        before. The conversations are being gathered across the UK 
SUN        by teams of producers from local and national radio stations 
SUN        who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're 
SUN        not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - 
SUN        lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key 
SUN        moment of connection between the participants. Most of the 
SUN        unedited conversations are being archived by the British 
SUN        Library and used to build up a collection of voices 
SUN        capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade 
SUN        of the millennium. You can upload your own conversations or

SUN        Emma Donoghue - Room 
SUN         
SUN        With James Naughtie. Emma Donoghue discusses her novel Room 
SUN        with an invited group of readers. 
SUN         
SUN        Donoghue, an Irish writer living in Canada, tells the story 
SUN        of a five-year-old boy, Jack, who has been imprisoned with 
SUN        his mother in a tiny room - 11 feet by 11 feet - for his 
SUN        whole life. Emma was inspired to write Room after reading 
SUN        about European kidnapping cases such as the Fritzls in 
SUN        Austria, and so Jack was born into captivity after his 
SUN        mother was taken by a stranger at the age of 19 and held 
SUN        prisoner in a converted garden shed. 
SUN         
SUN        Told in Jack's voice as he learns of a world outside his 
SUN        small prison, Room was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 
SUN        2010. But Emma says that the premise of the novel is to 
SUN        explore the myths and realities of motherhood and parenting 
SUN        rather than focus on the crime of kidnapping - and one 
SUN        reader tells her how surprised she was find so much humour 
SUN        in the novel.

SUN        Practices Under Pressure 
SUN         
SUN        GPs are under pressure to do more. The Government wants 
SUN        surgeries to open seven days a week and the Labour Party say 
SUN        they'll ensure people get appointments within 48 hours. But, 
SUN        at the same time, there are warnings that the family doctor 
SUN        service in England is on the brink of extinction because of 
SUN        a "perfect storm" of funding cuts and growing demand. 
SUN         
SUN        Jenny Cuffe meets two doctors - one in rural Yorkshire, who 
SUN        is about to lose a quarter of his funding and does not know 
SUN        how he can keep his surgery doors open and the other 
SUN        struggling to cope with the volume of patients in her busy 
SUN        urban practice in Salford. 
SUN         
SUN        One in seven primary care practices in England reports 
SUN        having to make redundancies as a result of the Government 
SUN        spending squeeze. 
SUN         
SUN        Recruitment for new GPs is still to hit Government targets 
SUN        and more doctors are leaving general practice through 
SUN        retirement or to work abroad. 
SUN         
SUN        So are the promises of greater access to your GP really 
SUN        deliverable?

SUN        Three Singers 
SUN         
SUN        'Introductions' is a fresh exploration of what an 
SUN        introduction means for British South Asian culture in 
SUN        contemporary society, where the internet, cultural 
SUN        diversity, and freedoms previously unavailable to members of 
SUN        that society bounce off established traditions of arranged 
SUN        matches or family marriages. 
SUN         
SUN        Written by three authors from The Whole Kahani, a British 
SUN        South Asian writers group, the stories in 'Introductions' 
SUN        explore what it means to be mixed race, the tensions between 
SUN        modern independence and family traditions, and the impact of 
SUN        really going it alone in the face of family expectations. 
SUN         
SUN        In Kavita A Jindal's Three Singers mixed race twins Himani 
SUN        and Sonali escape the tensions of setting up their own

SUN        The Piketty Affair 
SUN         
SUN        Did 'rock-star' French economist Thomas Piketty get his 
SUN        numbers wrong? His theories about rising inequality and the 
SUN        increasing importance of capital have been the talk of the 
SUN        economic and political worlds this year. And part of their 
SUN        appeal has been the massive amount of data Piketty has 
SUN        brought together to back them. 
SUN         
SUN        But the Financial Times claims to have found significant 
SUN        problems with Piketty's data on wealth, and says this 
SUN        undermines his claims about rising inequality. Tim Harford 
SUN        examines the FT's claims and Thomas Piketty's response. 
SUN         
SUN        Is there any truth to the catchy 'statistic' doing the 
SUN        rounds that there's as much land given over to golf courses 
SUN        as housing in England. More or Less gets out the tape

MON        A Broken Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen's Secret Chord, Episode 1 
MON         
MON        As Leonard Cohen turns 80, a new biography by Liel Leibovitz 
MON        explores the life, work and passion of the 
MON        poet-turned-musician. What makes Cohen such an enduring 
MON        international figure in the cultural imagination? 
MON         
MON        Granted extraordinary access to Cohen's personal papers, 
MON        Leibovitz evokes a complicated, sometimes contradictory 
MON        figure. Born into a Canadian religious Jewish family, for 
MON        years a reclusive lyricist on the Greek island of Hydra, 
MON        known for his bold political commentary, his devotion to 
MON        Buddhist thought and his later despair over contemporary 
MON        Zionism, Cohen hardly follows the rules of a conventional 
MON        rock star. 
MON         
MON        An intimate look at a man who, despite battles with 
MON        depression and years spent in hermit-like isolation, is 
MON        still touring and now seems to be reaching a new peak of 
MON        popularity.

MON         
MON        Based on characters from Ada Leverson's trilogy of novels, 
MON        Martyn Wade draws the delightful and romantic entanglements 
MON        of the Ottleys to a close. 
MON         
MON        Episode One 
MON        Edith, Aylmer and Bruce, in this infernal, triangular 
MON        charade seem as helpless and doomed as they ever were. 
MON        Edith's scheme of shuttling between Aylmer (the love of her 
MON        life) and Bruce (her hopeless former husband) collapses. 
MON        What, Edith wonders, is to be done? ... 
MON         
MON        Produced and Directed by Tracey Neale 
MON         
MON        The Story: 
MON         
MON        The ingenious but entirely unsatisfactory man-sharing 
MON        operation breaks down on account of fractiousness between 
MON        Bruce and Aymler, and Bruce's absurd and intrusive attempts 
MON        to keep Edith under close observation. Edith disappears, she 
MON        needs to find new energy and courage to deal with the 
MON        Aylmer-Bruce dilemma. 
MON         
MON        Aylmer (with Vincy in tow) and Bruce (accompanied by Madame 
MON        Frabelle, who thoroughly enjoys the drama of the occasion) 
MON        conduct a search to no avail. Bruce experiences further 
MON        anxiety when he is informed that he may be eligible for 
MON        active military service. Despite his neurotic heart, Bruce 
MON        passes the medical examination with flying colours. 
MON         
MON        Aylmer discovers Edith's location. She is staying at the 
MON        senior Ottley home. The senior Ottleys seem to show more 
MON        affection to Edith than their own son. This doesn't seem at 
MON        all surprising to Aylmer and he looks forward to secret 
MON        assignations with Edith. But when he hears about Bruce's 
MON        call up he realises that he must tell Edith and so she comes 
MON        out of hiding. 
MON         
MON        Madame Frabelle is no comfort to Bruce because she has 
MON        become high Anglican (the smell of incense replaces that of 
MON        her customary lavender water) and developed a friendship 
MON        with a married clergyman, Byrne Fraser, who has appeared to 
MON        have lost his faith. Bruce tries to find comfort in religion 
MON        but his faith is sorely tested when he discovers more about 
MON        the doubting Vicar. 
MON         
MON        Though he is entranced by the image of Bruce under heavy 
MON        fire, Aymler - with some reluctance - agrees to Edith's 
MON        request that he seek some desk-bound "work of national 
MON        importance" for Bruce. But Bruce, it appears, has misread 
MON        his call up letter and it's too late. He's sent off to war. 
MON        It is bitter-sweet for Edith but Bruce being Bruce always 
MON        has a surprise up his sleeve. 
MON         
MON        The Writer: 
MON         
MON        Martyn Wade's recent credits for radio aside from five 
MON        series of The Little Ottleys, are two composer plays - 
MON        Moeran's Last Symphony and The Healing of Sergei Rachmaninov 
MON        and Singles and Doublets. A stage play - The Most Gorgeous 
MON        Lady Blessington was performed at The Wallace Collection. 
MON        Martyn expertly took up the baton from Ada Leverson and not 
MON        only writes fresh and funny dialogue for those existing 
MON        characters but has also created some brilliant new 
MON        characters for the Ottley series too.

MON        11:00 D-Day Dames b0457rms (Listen) 
MON        In spring 1944 American women war correspondents gathered in 
MON        London in anticipation of the D-Day invasion. Women were not 
MON        allowed to report from the front line, although that did not 
MON        stop Martha Gellhorn. She returned to London as her marriage 
MON        to Ernest Hemingway was ending - he had met his next wife, 
MON        also a war correspondent, in the Dorchester hotel in London 
MON        as he waited for the invasion to take place. But it was 
MON        Gellhorn, who hid on a hospital ship across the channel, who 
MON        went ashore and wrote a dramatic account of it - she was 
MON        subsequently disciplined by the authorities as she had no 
MON        accreditation. 
MON         
MON        Others women, such as Helen Kirkpatrick witnessed 
MON        Eisenhower's return from the front as she reported from 
MON        D-Day headquarters. After D-Day itself, women reporters 
MON        gradually started going to Normandy, such as Lee Miller, who 
MON        filed dramatic photo-journalism accounts for British Vogue 
MON        from a field hospital and then found herself on the 
MON        frontlines of the siege of St Malo. The women followed the 
MON        troops across Europe, arriving in Paris for its liberation 
MON        in August. 
MON        It was a key moment in the history of women war 
MON        correspondents. 
MON         
MON        Lyse Doucet recounts their stories with archive audio, 
MON        readings from their articles and letters, interviews with 
MON        relatives and their biographers. She explains how the work 
MON        of women war correspondents has changed since then.

MON        New Century 
MON         
MON        Admiral Lord West tells the story of the Royal Navy during 
MON        the twentieth century, when through political, social, 
MON        technological and economic turmoil, the Navy's fortunes 
MON        mirrored those of Britain. 
MON         
MON        Lord West begins this first episode of this 15-part series 
MON        on the beaches of northern France, introducing the series 
MON        through the greatest amphibious assault in history - D-Day, 
MON        a turning point in naval warfare. 
MON         
MON        From there, he goes back in history to discuss 'navalism' at 
MON        the start of the twentieth century. The Navy in the decade 
MON        before the First World War was vast, a truly globalised 
MON        organisation, defending British interests around the world. 
MON        At home it was the bulwark against invasion and had such a 
MON        powerful hold on the British imagination that images of 
MON        sailors - of Jack Tar - sold everything from cigarettes to 
MON        postcards. 
MON         
MON        And it was a powerful political force too, with crowds 
MON        following naval developments closely and, when the pace of 
MON        warship production seemed to be slackening, demanding more. 
MON        This was an era when political meetings were interrupted 
MON        with chants of 'Dreadnought! Dreadnought! Dreadnought!' 
MON         
MON        But for all its size and strength, the Royal Navy at the 
MON        dawn of the twentieth century had rot at its core - social 
MON        stagnation and a rules-based mentality were stifling the 
MON        fighting spirit that had characterised Nelson's navy. Reform 
MON        would come only with two titans of the era - Winston 
MON        Churchill and, first, Admiral 'Jacky' Fisher.

MON        16:00 Burrell's Bequest b0457snm (Listen) 
MON        70 years ago William Burrell gifted his extraordinary art 
MON        collection to the City of Glasgow. Alvin Hall reveals the 
MON        story of the shipping magnate who made a huge cultural 
MON        impact in Glasgow, yet remains himself a shadowy figure, a 
MON        'Victorian magpie' eclipsed by the splendour of his 
MON        collection. 
MON         
MON        Burrell amassed the most outstanding range of Degas' works 
MON        anywhere in Europe; a huge range of Chinese and Islamic Art; 
MON        plus tapestries and sculptures to rival the collections of 
MON        the world's top museums. 70 years ago, he stipulated in his 
MON        bequest that the collection should never be loaned overseas. 
MON        Debate is currently raging over whether this highly unusual 
MON        collection should be allowed to travel to other museums and 
MON        galleries around the world. 
MON         
MON        The imposing Pollock House sits in parkland 3 miles from 
MON        Glasgow. Here again, the terms of Burrell's request were 
MON        challenged. He insisted that the collection shouldn't be 
MON        located within 14 miles of Glasgow, concerned about the 
MON        effects of air pollution on the exhibits. After his death, 
MON        this was overturned when the Pollock site became available - 
MON        the conclusion being that air pollution is less of a factor 
MON        nowadays. A similar argument is being used in the current 
MON        debate, with air travel and cutting edge techniques for the 
MON        transportation of art minimising the risks. 
MON         
MON        This raises interesting legal questions - and also provides 
MON        a peg to dig deeper into the little-known life of the man 
MON        behind the collection, and the fine art of transporting art. 
MON        Financier and art collector, Alvin Hall visits Glasgow's 
MON        much-loved Burrell Museum in Pollok Park and, by tracing the 
MON        journey of the objects of the collection, gains an insight 
MON        into the character of an extraordinary man, who helped 
MON        transform the fortunes of the city where he'd amassed his 
MON        own fortune.

MON        Last Rites 
MON         
MON        Ernie Rea and guests discuss Last Rites in some of the 
MON        world's major faiths. 
MON        The one reality of which everyone can be sure is that they 
MON        will die. Most people say they want to die at home 
MON        surrounded by their loved ones, but dying in hospital is the 
MON        norm. Religious communities have traditional rituals around 
MON        dying - do these transfer easily to a clinical setting? And 
MON        what might the idea of Last Rites mean to those without a 
MON        religious faith? 
MON        Ernie is joined by Maryam Riaz, Muslim Chaplain with

MON        Emma Barnett hears how women in the Canadian Army serve in 
MON        the front line and asks if the British Army will soon follow 
MON        their example. 
MON         
MON        Last month, the UK government announced a review into 
MON        whether women in the British Army should be allowed for the 
MON        first time to serve in the infantry and the armoured corps. 
MON         
MON        At the moment, they are excluded from taking part in front 
MON        line fighting where the primary aim is to "close with and 
MON        kill the enemy". 
MON         
MON        The next review of this policy had been planned for 2018. 
MON        But the Secretary of State for Defence, Philip Hammond, has 
MON        said that it will now report by the end of this year. 
MON         
MON        In this programme, Emma visits Canada where restrictions on 
MON        women serving in the front line were lifted some 20 years 
MON        ago. 
MON         
MON        She speaks to Brenda Hawke, a soldier with 16 years' service 
MON        in the infantry, and Ashley Colette, an officer who received 
MON        one of Canada's highest awards for her leadership of a 
MON        combat unit in Afghanistan. 
MON         
MON        And she hears from Colonel Jennie Carignan, one of the 
MON        Canadian Army's most senior women, about the challenges of 
MON        integrating women into the organisation.

MON        Time to Rethink Asylum? 
MON         
MON        Tim Finch of the Institute of Public Policy Research asks if 
MON        it is time for a fundamental rethink of the way we deal with 
MON        refugees. He investigates the history of asylum as a 
MON        political issue, the way asylum policy is implemented in the 
MON        UK today, and discusses various views on how refugees could 
MON        be handled in the future. Our current system was introduced 
MON        in the early 2000s in response to public anger over 
MON        allegations of bogus asylum seekers. Earlier this year 
MON        responsibility for assessing asylum claims was removed from 
MON        the UK Border Agency to the Home Office, amidst claims that 
MON        the system was not fit for purpose. Why does asylum continue 
MON        to be such a vexed issue?

MON        The 2001 Inquiry into deaths of children following cardiac 
MON        surgery at Bristol Royal Infirmary called for a change of 
MON        culture within the NHS. A new era of transparency where 
MON        surgeons would publish their results- and patients would be 
MON        told when things went wrong. 
MON         
MON        At the time Sir Ian Kennedy who headed the enquiry 
MON        recommended a statutory duty of candour be put into law. 
MON         
MON        Now, following the £13million inquiry into poor care at Mid 
MON        Staffordshire Hospital, the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt 
MON        finally decided to act - and introduce just such a statutory 
MON        measure together with the Care Bill, which proposes to make 
MON        it a criminal offence for the NHS to act unprofessionally 
MON        and unethically. 
MON        In this programme BBC Health Correspondent Matthew Hill asks 
MON        just how candid can we expect the newly reformed NHS to be 
MON        when things go wrong. Is such a proposition workable 
MON        considering the many new players in the system, such as the 
MON        private companies and social enterprises used to operating 
MON        far more under the cloak of commercial secrecy than in the 
MON        open world of public scrutiny. 
MON         
MON        Matthew Hill also looks at who is responsible for getting 
MON        the message to us - the role and accountability of public 
MON        relations staff. 
MON        One in six press officers in a survey of 81 trusts carried 
MON        out by the University of Coventry said they had been asked 
MON        to act unethically in their dealings with journalists. 
MON         
MON        Can Jeremy Hunt's duty of candour in the NHS have a chance 
MON        of becoming a reality? Given the size and organisational 
MON        complexity of the NHS how can openess be ensured ? 
MON         
MON        In his 20th year as BBC Health Correspondent in the West of 
MON        England, Matthew Hill discusses these questions with a range 
MON        of medics, managers, publicity officers and whistleblowers, 
MON        and draws on his own dealings with press officers who handed 
MON        him the Bristol heart scandal on a plate.

MON         
MON        Cast an objective eye back over our lives, and, if we are 
MON        brutally honest, it's a whole set of random events that 
MON        brought us to where we are today. Yet if you ask someone, or 
MON        even yourself, about that life we get a coherent story of 
MON        cause and effect - the holiday that led to a career as a ski 
MON        instructor, the missed train that got you talking to your 
MON        future spouse or the serendipitous meeting outside a pub 
MON        that kick started your career as a radio journalist. 
MON         
MON        We need to tell stories to survive, the argument goes, to 
MON        make sense of the terrifying confusion that is our 
MON        existence. So how deeply is this embedded in our psychology 
MON        - can we design experiments to explore and explain our

MON        For 11 months and 3 weeks of the year all is peaceful and

MON        as no less than the Rolling Stones, Mumford and Sons,

MON        nearby, everything changes. 
MON        Normally manned by one station master at a time; Paul is one

TUE         
TUE        Tweet of the Day is a series of fascinating stories about 
TUE        our British birds inspired by their calls and songs. 
TUE         
TUE        Miranda Krestovnikoff presents the Manx Shearwater. Around 
TUE        90% of the world's Manx Shearwaters breed around our coasts, 
TUE        most on remote islands such as Skomer, Skokholm and Rum. The 
TUE        steep-sided mountains of Rum hold the largest colony in the 
TUE        world, and the grassy mountainsides are riddled in places 
TUE        with their nest burrows.

TUE        Professor Sir Michael Rutter 
TUE         
TUE        Professor Sir Michael Rutter has been described as the most 
TUE        illustrious and influential psychiatric scientist of his 
TUE        generation. His international reputation has been achieved 
TUE        despite the fact that as a young doctor, he had no intention 
TUE        of becoming a researcher, nor interest in becoming a child 
TUE        psychiatrist. In fact he became a world leader as both. 
TUE         
TUE        His career has spanned more than five decades and is marked 
TUE        by a remarkable body of high-impact research and landmark 
TUE        studies. The theme running through all his work has been 
TUE        child development, on the subtle interplay between nature 
TUE        and nurture and on the factors that make the difference 
TUE        between a child flourishing, or floundering. 
TUE         
TUE        Evacuated during World War Two, to a Quaker family in the 
TUE        USA, Mike Rutter tells Jim Al-Khalili about the impact this 
TUE        move, aged seven, had on him. He describes the inspirational 
TUE        teachers who persuaded him that research and clinical work 
TUE        as a child and adolescent psychiatrist, was for him, and he 
TUE        admits that an early mentor insisted he mustn't receive any 
TUE        formal training in child psychiatry, something he hasn't 
TUE        received to this day! 
TUE         
TUE        He was awarded this country's first ever professorship in 
TUE        child psychiatry in 1973 and he's credited with founding the 
TUE        field of developmental psychopathology. This involves the 
TUE        study, over time, of normal and abnormal child development. 
TUE        He's currently Professor of Developmental Psychopathology at 
TUE        King's College, London and still a practicing child 
TUE        psychiatrist. 
TUE         
TUE        An early breakthrough was his discovery that autism, or 
TUE        infantile psychosis as it was then known, had a genetic 
TUE        basis, something barely suspected at the time. 
TUE         
TUE        Beautifully designed studies of populations over time 
TUE        followed, many of them landmark studies still cited today. 
TUE        They established the framework for studying and 
TUE        investigating mental illness in the community. The Isle of 
TUE        Wight Studies (1964-74) surveyed the mental health of 
TUE        children living on the island and for the first time in such 
TUE        research, children themselves were directly interviewed and 
TUE        questioned. Before this, Mike Rutter tells Jim, the 
TUE        assumption had been that what children thought and said 
TUE        didn't really matter. 
TUE         
TUE        In the 1970s, the Fifteen Thousand Hours study, delivered 
TUE        ground-breaking evidence about the combination of factors 
TUE        that affected the performance and behaviour of children in 
TUE        inner city secondary schools. Findings from this study were 
TUE        included by both the Labour and Conservative parties in 
TUE        their 1979 election manifestos. 
TUE         
TUE        "Maternal Deprivation Reassessed" was Mike Rutter's 
TUE        challenge to John Bowlby's hugely influential theory of 
TUE        maternal attachment. It was described as "a classic in the 
TUE        field of childcare" and it transformed the debate about the 
TUE        relationships that help babies to flourish. 
TUE         
TUE        His fascination with the underlying reasons why and how 
TUE        children vary in their ability to weather and cope with 
TUE        adversity, led to the growth of resilience science. For more 
TUE        than 40 years Mike Rutter, "the intellectual father", has 
TUE        led this field of study. 
TUE         
TUE        His name is particularly associated with "natural 
TUE        experiments" and one of the best known is the English 
TUE        Romanian Adoptees study that he set up in the early 1990s 
TUE        and still runs today. The children being followed are those 
TUE        rescued from the orphanages of Nicolai Ceausescu and adopted 
TUE        by families in this country. Because of the appalling 
TUE        conditions many of these babies and toddlers experienced in 
TUE        Romanian institutions, Professor Rutter understood that 
TUE        tracking and studying them as they grew up in loving homes 
TUE        here, would provide important insights into how early 
TUE        deprivation affects children's development.

TUE        having a special chair to do your writing. They also talk

TUE        A Broken Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen's Secret Chord, Episode 2 
TUE         
TUE        As Leonard Cohen turns 80, a new biography by Liel Leibovitz 
TUE        explores the life, work and passion of the 
TUE        poet-turned-musician. What makes Cohen such an enduring 
TUE        international figure in the cultural imagination? 
TUE         
TUE        Granted extraordinary access to Cohen's personal papers, 
TUE        Leibovitz evokes a complicated, sometimes contradictory 
TUE        figure. Born into a Canadian religious Jewish family, for 
TUE        years a reclusive lyricist on the Greek island of Hydra, 
TUE        known for his bold political commentary, his devotion to 
TUE        Buddhist thought and his later despair over contemporary 
TUE        Zionism, Cohen hardly follows the rules of a conventional 
TUE        rock star. 
TUE         
TUE        An intimate look at a man who, despite battles with stage 
TUE        fright and years spent in hermit-like isolation, is still 
TUE        touring and now seems to be reaching a new peak of 
TUE        popularity. 
TUE         
TUE        In episode 2, despite success as a poet, Cohen feels the 
TUE        need to escape to the Greek island of Hydra. 
TUE

TUE        Disclosure 
TUE         
TUE        Monty Don explores the difficulties in keeping secrets and 
TUE        the effects of secrecy on rare orchids and rhinos. For the 
TUE        lady's slipper orchid in England, reduced to a single plant, 
TUE        secrecy was considered the only solution for many years, but 
TUE        when collectors discovered its site, conservation strategy 
TUE        changed. Rhinos, like other creatures with a price on their 
TUE        heads are very vulnerable and even in the 21st century; 
TUE        secrecy still plays a part in their conservation. 
TUE         
TUE        Professor Simon Stuart 
TUE        Dr Simon Stuart has been Chair of the Species Survival 
TUE        Commission of the International Union for Conservation of 
TUE        Nature (IUCN) since October 2008. He is also a visiting 
TUE        professor in the Department of Biology and Biochemistry at 
TUE        the University of Bath. Prior to this, he was the Senior 
TUE        Species Scientist for both IUCN and Conservation 
TUE        International. In 2004 he completed the Global Amphibian 
TUE        Assessment which highlighted the global phenomenon of 
TUE        amphibian declines and extinctions. Simon has undergraduate 
TUE        and doctoral degrees in conservation biology from the

TUE        11:30 Tales from the Stave b04581jm (Listen) 
TUE        Series 10, Sousa's The Stars and Stripes for Ever 
TUE         
TUE        It's 'ere we go, ere we go, ere we go' for the last in the 
TUE        current series of Tales from the Stave, Frances Fyfield's 
TUE        exploration of the handwritten manuscripts of our greatest 
TUE        composers. However, rather than a football stadium Frances 
TUE        is in the Library of Congress, Washington DC along with two 
TUE        US Marine Bandsmen Michael Ressler and Ryan Nowlin. They've 
TUE        come to see the marches of John Philip Sousa and most 
TUE        importantly The national march of the United States - The 
TUE        Stars and Stripes Forever. 
TUE         
TUE        Sousa's neat scores and his sketch books are far more than 
TUE        just interesting research fodder for these men who have 
TUE        marched to Sousa's beat for a lifetime. 
TUE        There's fascination in his working methods, many of them 
TUE        explained by a third bandsman and member of the Library 
TUE        staff, Loras Schissel. Sousa never wrote at the piano and 
TUE        rarely put pen to paper before working much of his material 
TUE        out in his head. Melody, harmony, rhythms; these were all in 
TUE        place before he started sharing his composition. 
TUE        And while his music is full of boisterous confidence, Sousa 
TUE        himself was a modest figure. A violinist and son of 
TUE        immigrant parents he always gave the impression that fortune 
TUE        was kind to him, belying the sheer effort and labour which 
TUE        saw him create his own touring band who were on the road for 
TUE        the majority of the year. 
TUE        The programme tells the story of how he came to write 'The 
TUE        Stars and Stripes for Ever', the impact it had and Sousa's 
TUE        place in US musical history. 
TUE        The musical highlight is the moment that our three bandsmen, 
TUE        imitating piccolo, trombone and cornet, perform Sousa's 
TUE        famous trio tune (borrowed by football fans all over the 
TUE        world) in glorious three part harmony.

TUE        New Technology 
TUE         
TUE        Lord West looks at how a revolution in naval technology 
TUE        transformed ideas of warfare, contributed to the arms race 
TUE        and laid the foundations for victory in the First World War. 
TUE         
TUE        During the early years of the twentieth century, one man 
TUE        dominated the Royal Navy. Admiral Sir 'Jacky' Fisher 
TUE        revitalised the Mediterranean fleet, pressed for social 
TUE        reform and promoted the introduction of torpedoes and 
TUE        submarines. 
TUE         
TUE        And in 1904 Fisher finally achieved a lifelong ambition, 
TUE        becoming First Sea Lord and professional head of the Royal 
TUE        Navy. Now he was able to develop new technology even faster. 
TUE        His crowning achievement was HMS Dreadnought, a battleship 
TUE        so powerful that it effectively made every other warship in 
TUE        every other navy redundant. 
TUE         
TUE        With Britain's navy pre-eminent, to level the playing field 
TUE        like this was dangerous. And it was to play a part in the 
TUE        pre-war arms race, but Britain's victory in that arms race 
TUE        would also make possible victory in the war which followed. 
TUE         
TUE        Lord West discusses Fisher's contributions, not least to the 
TUE        history of world oil. For it was he who persuaded a young 
TUE        Winston Churchill to convert the Royal Navy to oil power - 
TUE        altering the arc of history in South Wales, whose coal 
TUE        industry went into decline; in the Middle East; and around 
TUE        the world.

TUE         
TUE        The Public Accounts Committee has published a scathing 
TUE        report criticising the collective efforts of the CPS,

TUE        proceeds of crime. The accounts committee chairperson, 
TUE        Margaret Hodge, summarised the collective performance as

TUE        ever seen, revealing that only 26 pence in every £100 
TUE        generated by criminal activity is recovered. Joshua

TUE        Zeppelin are facing a legal challenge over the writing 
TUE        credits to their classic hit Stairway to Heaven - but how 
TUE        can such a claim be proven in a court of law? Law in Action 
TUE        meets Peter Oxendale - one of the world's leading 
TUE        musicologists - who explains how courts determine whether an 
TUE        artist has 'stolen' a song, or whether the similarities are 
TUE        simply a coincidence. 
TUE         
TUE        Finally, the European Union Court of Justice recently ruled 
TUE        Google must amend some search results at the request of 
TUE        ordinary people in a test of the so-called 'right to be 
TUE        forgotten'. Joshua Rozenberg speaks to EU and internet law 
TUE        expert Orla Lynskey about the ruling and whether Google has 
TUE        any avenue to appeal.

TUE        With fees costing as much as £9,000 a year, universities 
TUE        must operate in an increasingly cut-throat market place. At

WED        A Broken Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen's Secret Chord, Episode 3 
WED         
WED        As Leonard Cohen turns 80, a new biography by Liel Leibovitz 
WED        explores the life, work and passion of the 
WED        poet-turned-musician. What makes Cohen such an enduring 
WED        international figure in the cultural imagination? 
WED         
WED        Granted extraordinary access to Cohen's personal papers, 
WED        Leibovitz evokes a complicated, sometimes contradictory 
WED        figure. Born into a Canadian religious Jewish family, for 
WED        years a reclusive lyricist on the Greek island of Hydra, 
WED        known for his bold political commentary, his devotion to 
WED        Buddhist thought and his later despair over contemporary 
WED        Zionism, Cohen hardly follows the rules of a conventional 
WED        rock star. 
WED         
WED        An intimate look at a man who, despite battles with stage 
WED        fright and years spent in hermit-like isolation, is still 
WED        touring and now seems to be reaching a new peak of 
WED        popularity. 
WED         
WED        In the third episode, having altered the course of his life 
WED        with the decision to start writing music, Cohen faces a 
WED        creative struggle with those around him in the recording 
WED        studio. Will the release of Bird on the Wire change his 
WED        fortunes?

WED        Episode 2 
WED         
WED        In collaboration with the National Gallery in London whose 
WED        summer show is about the history and theory of COLOUR, 
WED        Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen looks beneath the surface of our 
WED        colour-saturated world to investigate what we're actually 
WED        looking at when we see red, yellow and blue. 
WED         
WED        In the first programme he returns to a period when most 
WED        people were dressed in drab dye stuffs, derived from plants, 
WED        and painters had to work hard to source mineral pigments for 
WED        paint. 
WED         
WED        Deep in the National Gallery, he visits senior conservator 
WED        Jill Dunkerton to discuss how she goes about restoring 
WED        pictures from the early Renaissance. What does she 
WED        substitute for the original lapis lazuli blue found so often 
WED        in pictures of the Madonna? Any why was this colour so 
WED        prized by artists of this period? 
WED         
WED        Victoria Finlay has travelled the world in search of the 
WED        sources of coloured minerals. She tells of searching for 
WED        lapis in Afghanistan and the cochineal beetle (source for 
WED        red dye) in Mexico. These were the exotic lands from which 
WED        the early ingredients for pigments came. 
WED         
WED        Laurence takes his explorations forward in time to the 
WED        nineteenth century when the science of colour was becoming 
WED        properly understood. Professor Martin Kemp explains how the 
WED        Impressionists began to imitate the effects of light 
WED        reflecting off coloured surfaces onto the eye. 
WED         
WED        Ella Hendriks is a curator at the Van Gogh museum and she's 
WED        in charge of preserving the colours in his paintings. She 
WED        explains that the colours in his paintings are completely 
WED        different to how they looked originally. 
WED         
WED        One of Laurence's final contributors is Professor Anya 
WED        Hurlbert, who researches our perceptions of colour. She's 
WED        interested in how we explain the way our brains can identify 
WED        colours despite dramatic differences in lighting. 
WED         
WED        The programmes visit the Matisse exhibition in London, the 
WED        Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, and the churches of Florence. 
WED        As Laurence discovers, colour is much more slippery and 
WED        complicated than you might think.

WED        Hills Are Alive 
WED         
WED        Ronnie Corbett returns for the final series of his popular 
WED        sitcom by Ian Davidson and Peter Vincent. 
WED        Ronnie is granddad Sandy and his old dog is Henry. If the 
WED        dog dies or his lodger moves on, Sandy's children want him 
WED        to downsize. He doesn't. 
WED         
WED        To help his finances, Sandy, still in the family home, took 
WED        in a young couple as lodgers. But then the man left - 
WED        leaving the attractive Dolores behind. And she, Sandy's 
WED        children are quite sure, is a gold-digger. Sandy's opinion 
WED        that it would be inhuman to move Henry somewhere unfamiliar 
WED        is wearing a bit thin - as is the old dog himself. Keeping 
WED        the dog alive and keeping the lodger happy are one thing; 
WED        what really concerns Sandy deeply is providing a guiding 
WED        hand to his whole family, advising here, prompting there, 
WED        responding to any emergency callout... If he kept himself to 
WED        himself, of course, things would be a lot simpler and 
WED        smoother. But a lot duller too...

WED        War Begins 
WED         
WED        Lord West looks at the Royal Navy's strategy for winning the 
WED        First World War, and how in the early years of the war it 
WED        failed to bring its might to bear. 
WED         
WED        The First World War represented a major change in British 
WED        strategy towards wars on the European continent. 
WED        Historically Britain had stood off from continental 
WED        conflicts, funding armies there but otherwise letting the 
WED        Royal Navy exert its power at sea. 
WED         
WED        But now with British and imperial armies fighting across 
WED        Europe, the Royal Navy was reduced to transporting troops, 
WED        escorting convoys and, with the exception of some small 
WED        victories mopping up German commerce raiders around the 
WED        world, an inglorious policy of distant blockade. 
WED         
WED        While the Grand Fleet was kept in Scapa Flow in the Orkney

WED        House of Fiction 
WED         
WED        Dramatised by Sara Davies from the memoir by Susan Swingler. 
WED         
WED        When Susan Swingler was twenty-one, she received a cheque 
WED        from an aunt of whom she'd never heard. Intrigued, she went 
WED        to visit. Her aunt asked after her brother and sister and 
WED        was surprised that Susan did not appear to have an 
WED        Australian accent. 
WED         
WED        But Susan was an only child, and she had never been to 
WED        Australia. She'd lived alone with her mother since the day 
WED        her father abandoned them seventeen years before. Why did 
WED        her aunt, and the rest of her family, believe they were 
WED        living in Australia? 
WED         
WED        This meeting begins for Susan the process of unravelling an 
WED        extraordinary deception that lies at the heart of her 
WED        family, invented by her step-mother, Australia's best-known 
WED        female novelist, Elizabeth Jolley. 
WED         
WED        Miriam Margolyes and Juliet Aubrey star in this true story 
WED        of how Elizabeth Jolley's most creative piece of fiction is 
WED        her own life. Includes interviews with Susan Swingler.

WED        Offshoring; Make-up in Iran 
WED         
WED        Offshoring - the economy of secrecy. The concealment of 
WED        wealth in tax havens is part of public debate, but John 
WED        Urry, Professor of Sociology at Lancaster University, argues 
WED        that offshore worlds now also involve relations of work, 
WED        pleasure, energy and security. He talks to Laurie Taylor 
WED        about new patterns of power which pose huge challenges to 
WED        democratic government. 
WED         
WED        Also, Dr Aliakbar Jafari, Senior Lecturer in the Department 
WED        of Marketing at the University of Strathclyde, discusses his 
WED        research on Iranian women's use of make up, as a form of 
WED        escape and self expression. He's joined by Dr Ziba Mir

WED        Anne McElvoy and John Harris host a new series of debates 
WED        looking at institutions under pressure. This week they 
WED        examine NATO. 
WED         
WED        Created in 1949 to face down the Soviet Union, the North 
WED        Atlantic Treaty Organisation was forced to reinvent itself 
WED        at the end of the Cold War. It fired its first shots in the 
WED        skies above Bosnia, intervened in Kosovo and Libya and found 
WED        itself creaking under the pressure of the Afghan campaign. 
WED         
WED        Will the Ukraine crisis reinvigorate the alliance or will it 
WED        exacerbate the divide between those members who see NATO as 
WED        a global policeman and those who view it as a vital check on 
WED        Russia's ambitions? 
WED         
WED        Anne and John debate NATO's future in front of an audience 
WED        at the Royal United Services Institute in Whitehall. They're 
WED        joined by RUSI's Professor Michael Clarke, Professor Mary

WED        Most traffic accidents are caused by human error. Engineers 
WED        are designing vehicles with built in sensors that send 
WED        messages to other cars, trucks, bikes and even pedestrians, 
WED        to prevent collisions happening. The idea is to make the 
WED        vehicles react to whatever's going on faster than the human 
WED        drivers. Jack Stewart drives around the university town of 
WED        Ann Arbor, in Michigan, in some of the many vehicles that 
WED        are fitted with experimental devices in the world's largest 
WED        connected vehicles project. 
WED         
WED        Jack also visits Stanford University's driverless car

WED        hand over control of their vehicles to computers.

WED         
WED        When Jane, Lucy and Amelia take Jane's mother (Felicity 
WED        Montagu) out for a birthday meal they're not expecting to be 
WED        thrust into their most dangerous adventure yet, but that's 
WED        exactly what happens. After failing to decide on a starter 
WED        and then moaning about her husband's obsession with ladies 
WED        tennis, Jane's mum casually drops into conversation the fact 
WED        that her new Russian cleaner has some inside info on a 
WED        recent high-profile diamond heist. 
WED         
WED        Jane drags the name Yuri Chekov (Anil Desai) out of her and 
WED        then heads to the airport immediately with an amorous Lucy 
WED        and a vodka-swilling Amelia in tow. It is very cold in 
WED        Russia. Amelia is glad of her vodka as well as her furry hat 
WED        - a live raccoon called Craig. 
WED         
WED        Lucy is keen to warm herself up using other means and the 
WED        bearded stranger staring at her from the other side of the 
WED        arrivals lounge seems like as good a place to start as any. 
WED        Jane just wants to grab her bag from the carousel and get 
WED        after Chekov but the fact that Amelia grabs it for her means 
WED        that Jane's not in a position to wonder why the bag's got a 
WED        lot heavier during their flight.

WED        Series 1, Episode 5 
WED         
WED        A dark, David Lynch-ian comedy, ideally suited for an 
WED        unsettling and surreal late night listen. 'I, Regress' sees 
WED        Matt Berry (The IT Crowd, Garth Marenghi's Dark Place, Snuff 
WED        Box) playing a corrupt and bizarre hypnotherapist taking 
WED        unsuspecting clients on twisted, misleading journeys through 
WED        their subconscious. 
WED         
WED        Each episode sees the doctor dealing with a different client 
WED        who has come to him for a different problem (quitting 
WED        smoking, fear of water, etc). As the patient is put under 
WED        hypnosis, we 'enter' their mind, and all the various 
WED        situations the hypnotherapist takes them through are played 
WED        out for us to hear. The result is a dream- (or nightmare-) 
WED        like trip through the patient's mind, as funny as it is 
WED        disturbing. 
WED         
WED        Ep 5: Dr Berry's latest patient, Christian Parcel (Nick 
WED        Lucas) finds himself in the worst place on the planet thanks 
WED        to some 'experimental hypnotherapy'. But events take a twist 
WED        that even Dr Berry himself finds hard to control, thanks to 
WED        a football pitch, a nightclub and a very unusual tattoo... 
WED         
WED        The cast across the series include Katherine Parkinson (IT 
WED        Crowd), Morgana Robinson (The Morgana Show), Simon Greenall 
WED        (I'm Alan Partridge), Jack Klaff (Star Wars, For Your Eyes

THU        The Bluestockings 
THU         
THU        Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the Bluestockings. 
THU        Around the middle of the eighteenth century a small group of 
THU        intellectual women began to meet regularly to discuss 
THU        literature and other matters, inviting some of the leading 
THU        thinkers of the day to take part in informal salons. In an 
THU        age when women were not expected to be highly educated, the 
THU        Bluestockings were at first regarded with suspicion or even 
THU        hostility. But their accomplishments led to far greater 
THU        acceptance of women as the intellectual equal of men, and 
THU        furthered the cause of female education.

THU        A Broken Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen's Secret Chord, Episode 4 
THU         
THU        As Leonard Cohen turns 80, a new biography by Liel Leibovitz 
THU        explores the life, work and passion of the 
THU        poet-turned-musician. What makes Cohen such an enduring 
THU        international figure in the cultural imagination? 
THU         
THU        Granted extraordinary access to Cohen's personal papers, 
THU        Leibovitz evokes a complicated, sometimes contradictory 
THU        figure. Born into a Canadian religious Jewish family, for 
THU        years a reclusive lyricist on the Greek island of Hydra, 
THU        known for his bold political commentary, his devotion to 
THU        Buddhist thought and his later despair over contemporary 
THU        Zionism, Cohen hardly follows the rules of a conventional 
THU        rock star. 
THU         
THU        An intimate look at a man who, despite battles with stage 
THU        fright and years spent in hermit-like isolation, is still 
THU        touring and now seems to be reaching a new peak of 
THU        popularity. 
THU         
THU        Today, disasters threaten Cohen's first European tour, but 
THU        in Buddhism he finds the spiritual solace which enables him 
THU        to write the groundbreaking Hallelujah.

THU        11:30 Body and Soul: The Oscar Micheaux Story b045c0hk (Listen) 
THU        Oscar Micheaux was a visionary and revolutionary force as a 
THU        filmmaker, entrepreneur and novelist, and undeniably black 
THU        America's first multimedia champion. 
THU         
THU        During the first half of the 20th century he wrote, produced 
THU        and directed 40 feature-length films in every genre 
THU        including musicals, Westerns, romances, comedies and 
THU        gangster stories. 
THU         
THU        In this programme Professor Ed Guerrero meets with Director 
THU        Pearl Bowser, Emmy winning producer Sam Pollard and writer 
THU        Clyde Taylor to explore Micheaux's unique place in black 
THU        cinema's cultural, political and aesthetic history. 
THU         
THU        Micheaux considered himself a cinematic propagandist, and 
THU        his productions an antidote to the ghastly images Hollywood 
THU        presented with black people consigned to roles depicting 
THU        them exclusively as servants, sexually crazed hoods or lazy 
THU        tramps. As we'll discover he was a complex, driven figure 
THU        whose ambition sometimes clouded his judgment, and whose 
THU        objectives were so epic he was fated to fail in a society 
THU        that, during his lifetime neither acknowledged his greatness 
THU        nor respected his achievements. He was the first 
THU        African-American to produce and direct a full-length talking 
THU        film, in 1931. 
THU         
THU        His work has recently been acknowledged by New York 
THU        percussionist William Hooker who has composed and performed 
THU        fresh soundtracks to a selection of Micheaux's early films 
THU        and introduces these to a new audience. His story has 
THU        influenced young film maker Lisa Collins, currently working 
THU        on a project asking why a predominantly 'white town' in 
THU        South Dakota celebrates Micheaux's life with an annual film 
THU        festival. 
THU         
THU        Micheaux has influenced other black film directors such as 
THU        Spike Lee and was honoured with a Director's Guild Award in 
THU        1986. A year later he was given a star on Hollywood 
THU        Boulevard.

THU        The Navy Wins 
THU         
THU        Lord West looks at how the Royal Navy won the First World 
THU        War. 
THU         
THU        The Royal Navy's role in winning the conflict has often been 
THU        overlooked - drowned out by the new and savage reality of 
THU        industrial warfare on the western front, and the tragic 
THU        romance of the imagery and war poetry which surrounded it. 
THU         
THU        Yet the Navy's role should not be underestimated, and in 
THU        this programme Lord West looks at the greatest naval battle 
THU        of the war - Jutland - and its dramatic impact on the war. 
THU         
THU        Jutland was a great strategic victory for the Royal Navy, 
THU        but largely because of truly terrible PR afterwards, many to 
THU        this day regard it as a defeat. It was part of the reason 
THU        for the growing disconnect between the nation and its navy. 
THU         
THU        Yet the outcome of Jutland influenced more than just public 
THU        sentiment. It forced the German military to confront the 
THU        reality of their situation: that the Royal Navy's blockade 
THU        could not be broken by their own fleet, and would in time 
THU        strangle Germany into submission. 
THU         
THU        The result was unrestricted submarine warfare: Germany's 
THU        only chance of victory, but itself carrying the risk of 
THU        bringing the United States of America into the war on the 
THU        Allied side. 
THU         
THU        When the United States did join the war, troops poured into 
THU        Europe, but the most significant impact was on that three 
THU        year old blockade, tightening it to a point that strangled 
THU        Germany and won the war for the Allies.

THU        Hinterland 
THU        by Francis Turnly 
THU         
THU        When Garda officer Detective Sergeant Roisin MacKenna is 
THU        called to the scene of a murder not far from the border 
THU        between the North and South of Ireland she soon finds that 
THU        boundaries, both geographical and moral, become blurred. 
THU         
THU        A body has been found buried in an Irish peat bog. 
THU        Identified as a farmer from Northern Ireland, Roisin is 
THU        thrust into working with a PSNI counterpart, Darren Quinn, 
THU        as her investigation takes her into the murky hinterland of 
THU        the border area where nothing and no one is quite what they 
THU        seem. 
THU         
THU        Working together, Roisin and Darren must negotiate the 
THU        limitations of their own jurisdictions and face up to the 
THU        ambiguities of upholding the law in a landscape virtually 
THU        impossible to police.

THU         
THU        This series of Ramblings is themed 'waterways' and in the 
THU        second of two programmes based on the banks of the River 
THU        Wye, Clare Balding walks with Nadia Smith on the Doward, 
THU        near Ross-on-Wye. 
THU         
THU        Nadia has a grown-up son with cerebral palsy; when he was 
THU        younger she needed to lift him a great deal, something she 
THU        thinks contributed to osteoarthritis, which eventually led 
THU        to two partial hip-replacements. 
THU         
THU        She fought having these metal-hips for a long time, fearful 
THU        that she would lose fitness and mobility. 
THU        However, following the first operation, she followed a 
THU        programme of gentle exercise and learned to adapt her 
THU        walking posture. Nadia now feels as fit and active as 
THU        before. Join Clare and Nadia as they walk along a stretch of 
THU        the Wye close to Nadia's home.

THU        Oil 
THU         
THU        How do you make economics funny? How do you put the comedy 
THU        in commodity? Simon Evans has the answer in this new series 
THU        which asks us to get involved in investment. 
THU         
THU        Rather than being cowed by an apparently complicated and 
THU        overwhelming system, Simon jumps right in. He takes as his 
THU        focus four commodities which are so intrinsic to our lives 
THU        they have an almost elemental significance - land, gold, oil 
THU        and grain. Yet, despite the fact we encounter them 
THU        everywhere we look, very few people have been able to build 
THU        a fortune on them. 
THU         
THU        All that's about to change as, Simon enlists help from the 
THU        experts. Each week he will be joined by Tim Harford, Merryn 
THU        Somerset Webb and a guest specialist as they examine the 
THU        chequered social and economic histories of these 
THU        commodities. By looking at four such fundamental products, 
THU        Simon brings us to a closer understanding of how global 
THU        economic forces have a far-reaching and often surprising 
THU        impact on our lives. 
THU         
THU        In this episode, Simon looks at commodities markets in oil 
THU        or petrolium. How is it produced? Why is this trade 
THU        different to others? Is our over-reliance on it dangerous?

FRI        A Broken Hallelujah: Leonard Cohen's Secret Chord, Episode 5 
FRI         
FRI        As Leonard Cohen turns 80, a new biography by Liel Leibovitz 
FRI        explores the life, work and passion of the 
FRI        poet-turned-musician. What makes Cohen such an enduring 
FRI        international figure in the cultural imagination? 
FRI         
FRI        Granted extraordinary access to Cohen's personal papers, 
FRI        Leibovitz evokes a complicated, sometimes contradictory 
FRI        figure. Born into a Canadian religious Jewish family, for 
FRI        years a reclusive lyricist on the Greek island of Hydra, 
FRI        known for his bold political commentary, his devotion to 
FRI        Buddhist thought and his later despair over contemporary 
FRI        Zionism, Cohen hardly follows the rules of a conventional 
FRI        rock star. 
FRI         
FRI        An intimate look at a man who, despite battles with stage 
FRI        fright and years spent in hermit-like isolation, is still 
FRI        touring and now seems to be reaching a new peak of 
FRI        popularity. 
FRI         
FRI        In the final episode, Cohen begins the 1990s as a hugely 
FRI        successful songwriter, poet and performer. Yet spiritual 
FRI        crises still plague him, and he retreats to the San Gabriel 
FRI        Mountains to spend time with his guru. By 2006, he's forced 
FRI        to start touring again when evidence emerges that a 
FRI        long-time employee and friend may have stolen millions of 
FRI        dollars from him.

FRI        As the Queen and Prince Philip travel to Normandy to 
FRI        commemorate the seventieth anniversary of the D Day 
FRI        landings, Paddy O'Connell meets veterans who served with his 
FRI        father and asks 'what is remembrance'? 
FRI         
FRI        Paddy's father died when he was eleven. When he started 
FRI        looking for his history, he tracked down several men who had 
FRI        fought with him during the war. 
FRI         
FRI        47 Royal Marine Commando was one unit among 156000 troops 
FRI        landing at Normandy on D Day. Their plan failed at once. 
FRI        They were tipped into the sea, losing all their kit, and 
FRI        were forced to continue with weapons seized from the enemy. 
FRI        Enduring a twelve mile march, they succeeded against the 
FRI        odds in their mission to capture a fishing port. 
FRI         
FRI        It was only in the 1980s as they started to retire that the 
FRI        men from 47 Royal Commando began going back to Normandy. 
FRI        Annual commemorations at the cemeteries are only part of the 
FRI        reason. For these men, now aged around 90, living life to 
FRI        the full is the best remembrance. The men who died as 
FRI        teenagers gave up their youth and their future so that life 
FRI        could be lived and enjoyed. 
FRI         
FRI        Paddy has shared significant time with them over the last 
FRI        five years; at memorial services in Normandy, at social 
FRI        events and dances with their families. In this programme we 
FRI        listen to those conversations and we hear what Paddy has 
FRI        learnt about remembrance and how he's changed his mind about 
FRI        what it means.

FRI         
FRI        Dr Phil Hammond and David Spicer's satire on some of the 
FRI        major issues thrown up by NHS reform. Among the many targets 
FRI        in their sights are the Care Quality Commission, patient 
FRI        records, privatisation, whistleblowing, time wasters and 
FRI        patient participation groups. 
FRI         
FRI        Will the NHS be safe in the hands of Pfizer? Why do doctors 
FRI        often look sicker than their patients? Would an NHS 
FRI        executive go private? How are doctors revalidated? What does 
FRI        that actually mean? And is that piece of dry skin on your 
FRI        heel anything to do with the amount you've been drinking

FRI        Inter-War Trouble 
FRI         
FRI        Lord West explores the Royal Navy's three battles between 
FRI        the wars: with a new department in Whitehall, with 
FRI        communists in Russia, and with the Navy's oldest foe - the 
FRI        Treasury. 
FRI         
FRI        The First World War left Britain reeling, economically 
FRI        devastated and with massive social dislocation and a 
FRI        generation scarred, both physically and psychologically, by 
FRI        the conflict. The country was on the back foot, and the 
FRI        Royal Navy was, too. 
FRI         
FRI        The Navy's formidable new capability - its air arm - was 
FRI        taken away and handed to the newly-formed RAF. Constant 
FRI        raids by the Treasury were initially rebuffed, but 
FRI        eventually took their toll. And a perception grew up that 
FRI        the pre-war arms race had caused the war, and that the Navy 
FRI        had caused the arms race, and there was little outrage when 
FRI        the size of the navy was fixed. 
FRI        But alongside these battles in Whitehall, in international 
FRI        negotiations, and for the hearts and minds of the British 
FRI        public, the Navy also had a proper war to fight. 
FRI         
FRI        For almost a year after the end of the First World War, the 
FRI        Navy - together with other British and allied troops - 
FRI        fought a war in Russia against the 'Red Army' of the nascent 
FRI        Soviet Union. Largely forgotten today because the exhausted 
FRI        troops were eventually withdrawn, the war nevertheless gave 
FRI        Estonia its first taste of independence.

FRI        by fate. In The Other Simenon we explore three more of his 
FRI        intriguing tales. 
FRI         
FRI        In Three Beds in Manhattan a French actor, in New York to 
FRI        get over a scandal, meets a divorcee in a bar. They spend

FRI        Britain at Sea: Omnibus, New Century, New Enemy 
FRI         
FRI        Admiral Lord West begins his history of the Royal Navy in 
FRI        the twentieth century, covering the period from 1900 to 
FRI        1939. 
FRI         
FRI        In this first week's omnibus, Lord West describes how the 
FRI        extraordinary technical, social and geo-political change of 
FRI        the first four decades of the century affected, and in turn 
FRI        were affected by, the Navy. 
FRI         
FRI        It was a period in which decisions about the Navy had a 
FRI        dramatic impact not just on Britain, but the rest of the 
FRI        world. Lord West describes the Navy's key role in how Turkey 
FRI        entered the First World War, explores how the Navy's switch 
FRI        from coal to oil altered the course of the entire twentieth 
FRI        century, and reveals the Navy's vital role in winning the 
FRI        First World War.

FRI        The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a 
FRI        snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the 
FRI        UK volunteer to have a conversation with someone close to 
FRI        them about a subject they've never discussed intimately 
FRI        before. The conversations are being gathered across the UK 
FRI        by teams of producers from local and national radio stations 
FRI        who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're 
FRI        not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - 
FRI        lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key 
FRI        moment of connection between the participants. Most of the 
FRI        unedited conversations are being archived by the British 
FRI        Library and used to build up a collection of voices 
FRI        capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade 
FRI        of the millennium. You can upload your own conversations or 
FRI        just learn more about The Listening Project by visiting
