SAT       Purbeck
SAT       In May 2008, a huge fire swept across Godlingston Heath
SAT       National Nature Reserve in Purbeck, Dorset, devastating
SAT       acres of heathland rich in wildlife, rare reptiles and
SAT       birds. It was estimated that the landscape could take up
SAT       to 30 years to recover. Yet, in the right circumstances,
SAT       fire is still used as a means of controlling the landscape
SAT       to ensure a healthy environment for plants and wildlife.
SAT       Helen Mark discovers more about the various forces at work
SAT       in our nature reserves and begins by tracking down the
SAT       increasing population of sika, the small Japanese deer
SAT       that have taken up home on the moors and heaths. Left
SAT       unmanaged, the deer can cause problems both for the
SAT       heathland and for neighbouring farmers and so are now
SAT       being monitored and managed through a programme of culling.
SAT       Helen visits the scene of the devastating fire at
SAT       Godlingston Heath to meet the people who dealt with the
SAT       aftermath and who are still working to restore the
SAT       landscape. She then canoes out onto freshwater Littlesea
SAT       Lake in search of the invasive crassula plant, which can
SAT       grow to a meter thick, taking oxygen from the water and
SAT       suppressing other wild plants.

SAT       Series 2, Maths
SAT       Lenny Henry questions the iconic status of people or
SAT       things held dear by many.
SAT       Lenny, like so many in the UK, has always found maths
SAT       tough going, but was he simply badly taught or has he got
SAT       some sort of number blindness? Defending the art of
SAT       arithmetical analysis and the joys of number-crunching are
SAT       Countdown maths maestro Carol Vorderman and former
SAT       government 'Maths Tsar' Celia Hoyles.
SAT       At a national conference on how to make maths more fun and
SAT       engaging for children, Lenny teams up with a group of
SAT       primary maths teachers to play number games and fold paper
SAT       into right-angled triangles, squares, parallelograms and
SAT       other usefully geometrical shapes - and enjoys it.
SAT       On the scientific front, down in his testing room at
SAT       London's University College neurology department,
SAT       Professor Brian Butterworth puts Lenny's number ability on
SAT       trial. Brian has done field-leading work on the way the
SAT       brain handles arithmetical concepts, so how will Lenny
SAT       cope with tests that he admits feel like his worst
SAT       nightmare from schooldays?
SAT

SAT       MPs expenses raised its head again when the Independent
SAT       Parliamentary Standards Authority published its
SAT       consultation on MPs allowances and expenses. Will the
SAT       regulation be tough enough? John Mann (Labour) thinks not,
SAT       while Nick Harvey (Liberal Democrat) disagrees.
SAT       The move to unseat Gordon Brown failed, but how does one
SAT       mount a successful coup? Two people with experience of the
SAT       rough and tumble of party politics - Lord Donoghue, former
SAT       adviser to Prime Ministers Harold Wilson and Jim
SAT       Callaghan, and Derek Conway, a Conservative whip in the
SAT       Major years - compare notes.
SAT       The Liberal Democrats are now being wooed by both main
SAT       parties in the expectation of a hung parliament. Lord
SAT       Rennard and Chris Huhne assess their suitors.
SAT       Do political poster campaigns work? Charles Lewington of
SAT       Hanover PR and formerly John Major's head of
SAT       communications, talks to Barry Delaney, a former
SAT       advertising consultant to the Labour Party.

SUN       Tom Heap visits Pheasant Oak Turkey Farm near Coventry to
SUN       see what happens once Christmas dinner is over.
SUN       A tasty turkey is the main ingredient of most Christmas
SUN       dinners, making December one of the busiest months for
SUN       poultry farmers. But what happens when the presents are
SUN       all unwrapped and the New Year has begun? Tom meets turkey
SUN       farmer Rod Adlington at the Pheasant Oak Farm, in search
SUN       of survivors. He joins in with the mucking-out to find out
SUN       what happens on the farm once the holiday season is over
SUN       and why turkeys seem to lose the will to live in the New

SUN       Speciality Tea
SUN       Speciality teas are the biggest growth area in the fairly
SUN       static tea sector, as tea drinkers go in search of more
SUN       interesting flavours, and stories. Sheila Dillon asks
SUN       what's driving this growth, and finds out what is on offer
SUN       both in the mass market and the speciality tea companies,
SUN       including The Rare Tea Company.
SUN       The British are second only to the Irish in the amount of
SUN       tea they drink but Henrietta Lovell wasn't convinced they
SUN       were getting a decent cuppa, so set up the company to
SUN       bring 'the good stuff' to the nation's mugs, including a
SUN       surprising new tea from Malawi. African tea is
SUN       traditionally regarded as low quality commodity tea best
SUN       used in blended teabags, and lacks the cache of China tea
SUN       or Indian Darjeeling. Henrietta has been working with a
SUN       third-generation Malawian tea producer to bring a single
SUN       estate 'gourmet' tea to the market, fit to rub shoulders
SUN       with traditional premium teas.
SUN       Sheila is joined in the studio by Bill Gorman from the UK
SUN       Tea Council, which represents all the major tea brands in
SUN       the UK, and Edward Eisner, founder of internet-based Jing
SUN       Teas.

SUN       16:30 And Go To Innisfree b00pnp9h (Listen)
SUN       Poet Kenneth Steven explores WB Yeats's The Lake Isle of
SUN       Innisfree.
SUN       In his famous poem, Yeats declared that he will 'arise ...
SUN       and go to Innisfree', and Kenneth does exactly that:
SUN       journeying from the Strand in London, where Yeats had the
SUN       idea, to the the Lake Isle of Innisfree in Lough Gill,
SUN       near Sligo, investigating why the poem strikes a chord
SUN       with so many people.
SUN       Yeats spent many childhood summers on Lough Gill, a large
SUN       lake with several small islands. Then his family moved to
SUN       London, to a depressingly grey area of Kensington. One day
SUN       while he was walking along the Strand he saw in a shop a
SUN       fountain with a ball balanced on top of the jet and,
SUN       somehow, the water transported him imaginatively back to
SUN       the lough and the Isle of Innisfree. So he wrote the short
SUN       poem which became perhaps his best known, somewhat to his
SUN       chagrin (he was once faced by 10,000 boy scouts, chanting
SUN       it in unison).
SUN       The poem is a work of contrasts, opposing the city with
SUN       the country, crowds with solitude, and peace not with war
SUN       (though the situation in Ireland at the time was tense)
SUN       but with stress and anxiety. It also demonstrates the
SUN       poet's early philosophical thinking. When he speaks of
SUN       planting nine rows of beans and living in 'the bee-loud
SUN       glade', it is clear that he has been reading Henry
SUN       Thoreau's Walden Pond, which, as well as being radical in
SUN       its environmental concerns, is about freedom, about the
SUN       individual in relation to society (it was published with
SUN       his great essay On Civil Disobedience) and about that
SUN       society in relation to other powers.
SUN       Kenneth Steven'a own life and work share similar concerns.
SUN       He too is drawn to the remote and rural, and is deeply
SUN       concerned with the cultural and political integrity of his
SUN       country, Scotland. Here Kenneth explores all this on his
SUN       journeying to the Lake Isle of Innisfree, starting, like
SUN       Yeats, on the Strand in the rain, and while speaking to
SUN       Yeats experts, historians and other poets, journeys from
SUN       London to Sligo to Lough Gill and rows across to the Isle
SUN       itself.

SUN       for tackling crime and asks if they are really being
SUN       effective. Closed circuit television has become part of
SUN       our every day lives; on high streets, on the bus and in
SUN       most of our shops we are frequently being watched by CCTV
SUN       cameras. But how likely are they to prevent crime and how
SUN       useful are they as a detection method? Also, who is
SUN       watching us and are their systems and methods working?
SUN       What is the evidence that backs up our obsession with CCTV?

SUN       Peter Day finds out whether this is a threat to the way we
SUN       live now or an opportunity for new kinds of business.

MON       00:15 Thinking Allowed b00pktr5 (Listen)
MON       The First World War was the first conflict in which
MON       Britain used conscription, and it was the same law, the
MON       1916 Military Service Act, which made it possible for
MON       people to 'conscientiously object' and opt out of bearing
MON       arms. It was not an easy status to achieve or an easy
MON       option to take, however, because 'conchies', as they were
MON       known, were attacked, stigmatised, imprisoned and
MON       considered effeminate. Laurie Taylor discusses a new study
MON       which explores the mixed feelings and confused anxieties
MON       the British public felt toward conscientious objectors in
MON       a period when traditional masculinity was already under
MON       great strain.
MON       Also, Laurie talks to Emma Robertson about her study into
MON       music at work. It was banned in most factories in the 19th
MON       century, until Cadbury and Rowntree started introducing
MON       hymns in their workplaces to raise morale as well as
MON       productivity.

MON       With Jane Garvey.
MON       Including:
MON       Since the mid-18th century there's been the idea that
MON       beauty is in the eye of the beholder. However, many
MON       psychologists argue that there are certain physical
MON       features of the body and face that are found attractive
MON       across all individuals and cultures. So, why do some
MON       people seem more physically attractive to us than others -
MON       is it body shape, pheromones or personality? Jane Garvey
MON       examines the evidence with stand-up comedian Rosie Wilby,
MON       and the evolutionary and social psychologist Viren Swami.
MON       Currently one in three families depend on grandparents for
MON       childcare and it's likely that this figure will rise, with
MON       grandparents playing an increasingly important role in
MON       supporting young families. Jane and her guests debate
MON       whether it's time that grandparents were given better
MON       rights and more official recognition of their role in
MON       society.
MON       Improvements in cancer treatment mean that many more
MON       people are now surviving cancer. There are over one
MON       million people in the UK who were first diagnosed more
MON       than five years ago. However, survivors of the disease
MON       face their own problems, stemming from the long-term
MON       effects of cancer and its treatment. Jane talks to one
MON       survivor and discusses the issues surrounding post-cancer
MON       care and support.

MON       11:00 Playing for the Common Ground b00pxvdq (Listen)
MON       Gerry Anderson grew up playing football and cricket and
MON       remains a fan of both. But when he went to the Christian
MON       Brothers school he was made to play GAA - Irish football
MON       and hurling - as football and cricket were deemed to be
MON       Protestant sports.
MON       Like most things in Northern Ireland, sport has been
MON       divided down sectarian lines, but in the last 10 years
MON       great efforts have been made to change this way of
MON       thinking. Gerry talks to fans, players and coaches to find
MON       out if sport can be reclaimed to be enjoyed by the many
MON       instead of the few.

TUE       Fiona considers the challenges of maintaining a creative
TUE       career while bringing up small children. How does a
TUE       writer, working at home, manage to carve out the mental
TUE       and physical space to work? Is the 'pram in the hallway'
TUE       really a barrier to creative thought?

TUE       Food is everywhere in children's literature. From The
TUE       Famous Five, who were constantly eating enormous amounts
TUE       of food, to midnight feasts at St Clares and Hogwarts,
TUE       squashed fly biscuits, and even food which comes to life,
TUE       children's books luxuriate in lavish descriptions of
TUE       meals, picnics and treats. Food is always delicious and
TUE       written about with such enthusiasm that the reader is left
TUE       wishing they could dive into the story and feast on the
TUE       treats within. But why is British children's fiction so
TUE       preoccupied with all this fictional feasting?
TUE       The former Children's Laureate, Michael Rosen, among

TUE       Ken Clarke MP profiles great jazz musicians of the 20th
TUE       century.
TUE       Many Radio 4 listeners knew 'Humph' as the hilariously
TUE       deadpan chairman of I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue. But the
TUE       much-loved broadcaster was also an exemplary and
TUE       influential jazz musician. Louis Armstrong dubbed him 'the
TUE       top trumpet man in England today', and not without reason.
TUE       A master of his instrument as well as several others, he
TUE       spearheaded the post-war traditional jazz revival in
TUE       Britain, later forming his own band that set the standard
TUE       for British jazz for several decades.
TUE       Friend and fellow BBC jazz presenter Alyn Shipton joins

TUE       We have a heady mix of energy, biology and a little bit of
TUE       physics this week. First for the energy. You want to know
TUE       if the ultra-green claims made for wood pellet burners
TUE       really stand up to scrutiny. And then there's the issue of
TUE       demand. Unless we have accurate ways of predicting future
TUE       energy demand then any discussion on energy production is
TUE       more or less pointless. At least that's what one listener
TUE       contends, and the panel chews over the idea.
TUE       Next up is the biology. Why do birds eat seeds that pass
TUE       through their gut unchanged and what happens to us if we
TUE       eat the same seeds? And what was the extraordinary worm
TUE       that was seen emerging from a Nepalese praying mantis,
TUE       which then flew away unharmed?
TUE       For the physics one listener wants to know why a bottle of
TUE       water he picked up from an icy car froze solid in a matter
TUE       of seconds. Is there a simple explanation or does he have
TUE       superhuman powers?
TUE       Tackling this eclectic mix are ecologist Dr Lynn Dicks of
TUE       Cambridge University, planning expert Professor Yvonne
TUE       Rydin of University College, London and Professor Philip
TUE       Stott, an environmental scientist from the University of
TUE       London.

TUE       Dr Mark Porter visits Selly Oak Hospital in Birmingham,
TUE       the UK's receiving centre for soldiers injured in the
TUE       world's most dangerous war zone. Paramedics work non-stop
TUE       to keep the critically wounded alive on the flight back
TUE       from Afghanistan. Once they reach the Intensive Care Unit
TUE       at Selly Oak, the lifesaving treatment begins.
TUE       Wounded solders are a unique group of patients. They have
TUE       usually sustained a complex set of injuries from gunshots
TUE       and multiple fractures, amputations, loss of sight or
TUE       hearing and brain injury.
TUE       Being soldiers, they are young, fit and determined, all of
TUE       which helps them to recover physically from their injuries
TUE       and the many operations they often have to endure. Some of
TUE       the injuries soldiers sustain can be devastating, such as
TUE       the loss of both legs from an explosion. Grouping military
TUE       patients together on the trauma ward enables them to
TUE       support each other. And NHS and military staff work side
TUE       by side on the ward to further support to patients'
TUE       medical and emotional needs.
TUE       Selly Oak Hospital primarily treats the physical impact of
TUE       war, but identifying and treating the mental scars is
TUE       equally important. Soldiers are now being trained to
TUE       identify warning signs in their peers while in Afghanistan
TUE       so that they can be treated before their symptoms
TUE       overwhelm them. Efforts are also being made to help
TUE       soldiers cope with the transition from the war zone to
TUE       life at home.

TUE       one of the first major internet hoaxes.
TUE       Denis used to post threads and make small talk on a
TUE       technical forum called Anandtech. Irritated by the
TUE       misogyny he found on the site, he invented a female
TUE       character to join in the chat. Soon he found himself
TUE       flirting with his own character and weaving a tale so
TUE       believable that the character took on an air of reality,
TUE       even for him. As the relationship deepened, Denis was
TUE       forced to take drastic action to get out of his own hoax.

WED       The Jonestown Letters
WED       The compelling true story of two sisters, Annie and
WED       Carolyn Moore, who died at the Jonestown mass suicide in
WED       Guyana in 1978. It is told through the extraordinary
WED       actual letters that passed between the girls and their
WED       family back home. The letters are abridged by Sarah
WED       Daniels, and introduced by the surviving sister, Rebecca
WED       Moore. Every word you hear in the drama is the truth.
WED       The Moores were a close and loving middle-class American
WED       family. The father, John, was a Methodist preacher and the
WED       mother, Barbara, was warm and caring. They had three
WED       daughters. Two of the daughters were strongly attracted
WED       early on by the utopian ideals of Jim Jones and his
WED       socially progressive, racially integrated church: the
WED       Peoples' Temple.
WED       Carolyn, a serious young socialist, later became Jim
WED       Jones' lover and had a son by him. When Jones took his
WED       church out to the inhospitable jungles of Guyana to
WED       pioneer a new way of living, Carolyn was there as his most
WED       loyal lieutenant. She died in the final mass suicide.
WED       Annie, her funny, likeable and outgoing younger sister,
WED       was dedicated to nursing, unusually passionate about
WED       social justice, yet ended up in charge of doling out the
WED       Kool-Aid at the end of Jonestown, and then shot herself.
WED       How could this have happened?
WED       Through this tense and compelling dramatised
WED       correspondence we uncover the truth of Jonestown as
WED       experienced by the families involved, as it unfolded. In
WED       hearing Carolyn and Annie's own words, we are forced to
WED       the realisation that Jonestown wasn't simply a 'cult', as
WED       it has been painted. That cliche obscures the unavoidable
WED       fact that those who joined weren't less intelligent or
WED       principled than the rest of us. In fact they could have
WED       been us.
WED       Annie Moore ...... Greta Clough
WED       Carolyn Moore ...... Jennifer Lee Jellicorse

WED       Blood in the Water
WED       Professor Anthony King tells the story of
WED       politically-significant sporting events.
WED       In October 1956, thousands of students and workers took to
WED       the streets of the Hungarian capital, Budapest, to demand
WED       greater political freedom and an end to Soviet domination
WED       of their country. At first they seemed to be succeeding:
WED       Soviet forces pulled back and a reformer, Imre Nagy,
WED       became prime minister. At the same time, the Hungarian
WED       Olympic team set off for the Melbourne Olympics. By the
WED       time they arrived in Australia, however, everything back
WED       home had changed. Soviet tanks had returned to Budapest
WED       and brutally crushed the Hungarian revolution. Hundreds
WED       were arrested and thousands fled into exile. In Melbourne,
WED       the Hungarian water polo team were determined to defend
WED       their Olympic title. They cruised through the early
WED       rounds, and in the semi final were drawn, as fate would
WED       have it, against the Soviet Union. It became the most
WED       famous game in the history of the sport, known as the
WED       'Blood in the Water' match.

THU       He visits Munich Zoo, which proudly advertises its
THU       'formerly extinct aurochs' - a type of large and powerful
THU       cow - but does not refer to the fact that behind this
THU       apparent triumph lies the story of Heck's collusion with
THU       Goering's aspiration to replace Europe's 'racially
THU       degenerate' wildlife and plant life with pure, 'noble' and

FRI       With the help of dissatisfied NHS patients, Liz Barclay
FRI       asks if the growing popularity of online feedback can
FRI       really make a difference to standards of health care and
FRI       treatment.
FRI       The culture of customers offering brickbats and bouquets
FRI       to service providers has now extended beyond hotels and
FRI       coffee chains to the NHS. Hospital rating websites invite
FRI       patients to grade their hospital stay out of five stars,
FRI       and to leave comments about the care they received.
FRI       In this programme Liz speaks to the critics of this new
FRI       trend who suggest that the sites are merely
FRI       window-dressing and that NHS patients are not 'consumers'.
FRI       Some health professionals claim that the sites can easily
FRI       just become places where personal scores are settled
FRI       against NHS staff. The architects of online feedback are
FRI       invited to respond.
