SAT SAT 06:07 Open Country b00s7qs8 (Listen) SAT Bluebird's Return to Coniston Water SAT SAT Matt Baker is in Coniston to find out about the planned SAT return to the water of Donald Campbell's iconic boat, SAT Bluebird, and what this will mean to the village which has SAT protected it since it crashed in 1967. SAT SAT When Donald Campbell died on Coniston Water in January 1967 SAT attempting to break his own water speed record, it was to SAT many people the end of an era. They would always remember SAT where they were when the iconic images of Bluebird crashing SAT and disintegrating on the lake appeared on TV screens and SAT the story broke across the world. On 8 March 2001, after 34 SAT years underwater, Donald Campbell's ill-fated craft, SAT Bluebird, was raised from the deep by wreck finder and SAT engineer, Bill Smith, and later that year on 28 May Donald SAT Campbell's remains were recovered. In September 2001, he was SAT finally laid to rest in the churchyard in Coniston. Now his SAT daughter Gina, who shares her father's addiction to speed, SAT wants Bluebird restored to her 'beautiful, magnificent SAT self', in the hope of inspiring the next generation of SAT racers, engineers and adventurers. She joins Matt in SAT Coniston to explain why and how it is of the utmost SAT importance that both her father and Bluebird remain in SAT Coniston, a community which took Donald Campbell in and made SAT him him one of its own. SAT SAT Bill Smith, the man responsible for raising Bluebird from SAT Coniston Water, takes Matt to the spot from which he dived SAT to the bottom of the lake and discovered the wreck when he SAT was grabbed on the foot by Bluebird's tail fin. He describes SAT the moment when he also discovered Campbell's body after SAT Gina Campbell had asked him to look for her father. Anthony SAT 'Robbie' Robinson has lived in Coniston all his life and was SAT a member of Donald Campbell's team on that fateful day in SAT 1967. Standing on the jetty at Pier Cottage, from where SAT Campbell left on that fateful morning, he tells Matt how it SAT felt to watch Bluebird flip over and disappear into the lake. SAT SAT At Donald Campbell's graveside, Matt meets Steve Hogarth, SAT vocalist with Marillion whose lyrics inspired Bill Smith to SAT first dive for Bluebird back in 1996. Although only 8 years SAT old at the time, the memory of his mother crying when the SAT boat crashed never left Steve and found its way into song SAT years later, a song which he was invited to sing at Donald's SAT funeral....'Three hundred miles an hour on water, in your SAT purpose built machine'. SAT SAT Gina Campbell has now given Bluebird to the Ruskin Museum SAT and, more importantly, to the village and people of Coniston SAT who protected her father and the crash site for so long. SAT Matt hears from the curator of the museum, Vicky Slowe about SAT what this means to the museum and the local community. SAT SAT Who will take the seat in that famous cockpit? What will SAT this mean for the community of this quiet Cumbrian village SAT which has become synonymous with the names Campbell and SAT Bluebird? Where behind the Black Bull Inn & Hotel the SAT Coniston Brewing Company turns out Bluebird Bitter and where SAT walkers and visitors can enjoy the views over the lake from SAT the Bluebird Cafe. And how will it feel to stand on the SAT shores of Coniston Water and watch Bluebird fly again? SAT SAT Producer: Helen Chetwynd.

Pablo Borboroglu tells John of his SAT work as a conservationist and tour guide in Patagonia where SAT he takes visitors to see the communities descended from SAT Welsh settlers. SAT SAT John also talks to Roz Strickland who worked as a volunteer SAT in an orphanage in Rwanda and thinks that the country is SAT unfairly characterised as simply about gorillas and SAT genocide. She thinks there is a lot more to it than that - SAT not least the friendliness of the people once viciously SAT divided. It could be the basis of attracting the visitors SAT Rwanda crucially needs. SAT SAT 10:30 Big in Bangalore, Big in Beijing b00n6v4f (Listen) SAT Episode 1 SAT SAT With the collapse of The Iron Curtain in the 1980s, a new SAT frontier was open for Western Music acts to exploit. For SAT years, fans in Eastern Europe had been starved of live SAT performances by Western bands and singers due to the SAT difficulties involved in trying to perform in countries cut SAT off by ideology and politics. So where is the new frontier SAT now? Perhaps bands should look east? With the rise of India SAT and China as economic powerhouses, complete with growing SAT middle classes, are these now the new territories for bands SAT and artists to target as they seek new audiences and revenue SAT streams? SAT SAT Presenter Rajan Datar follows legendary British band Iron SAT Maiden as they head to Bangalore for a sold out festival SAT appearance. With exclusive access Rajan hangs out backstage SAT with singer Bruce Dickinson, who not only fronts the band, SAT but is also the pilot of the specially-converted plane which SAT they use to travel the world whilst on tour.

SAT SAT 14:30 Saturday Play b00s7vrf (Listen) SAT An English Tragedy SAT SAT Based on actual events at the end of World War Two, this SAT play by Oscar winner Ronald Harwood stars Derek Jacobi. SAT SAT May 1945: victory in Europe, and a Labour landslide. English SAT traitor John Amery is arrested in Italy and brought back to SAT London for trial. If convicted, he faces the death penalty. SAT But his father is a senior politician; surely the SAT Establishment will look after its own... SAT SAT The play charts the weeks leading up to the execution, SAT following John's arrest in Italy and trial in London. Like a SAT real-life Sebastian Flyte, he clutches his teddy bear, lies, SAT boasts and jokes as the day of execution draws inexorably SAT nearer. Meanwhile his distraught parents try everything in SAT their power to save him. SAT SAT John Amery was the Harrow educated son of Churchill's SAT Secretary of State for India, Leo Amery. His brother Julian SAT was later to become a prominent Conservative MP. A troubled SAT man, who had been expelled from Public School and bankrupted SAT as a young entrepreneur, John became a passionate fascist. SAT He broadcast pro-Nazi propaganda during World War 2 and ran SAT a programme recruiting British POWs to fight for Germany on SAT the Eastern Front. Unlike his brother Julian, John was a SAT wild boy - bisexual, hedonistic and unstable. Why? SAT SAT Ronald Harwood's work as a screen writer includes The SAT Pianist, which won him an Oscar for Best Screenplay and his SAT films The Dresser and The Diving Bell and The Butterfly also SAT won Oscar nominations.

SAT Do we really have more of a taste for it than other nations, SAT and where did it all start? SAT SAT We'll look at the way in which British satire developed on SAT television with great examples from the BBC archives. Roger SAT revisits his early days at the Establishment Club set up by SAT Peter Cook, and talks to Gerald Scarfe and others who helped SAT form the satirical approach of the 1960s. SAT SAT Roger reveals some of the juicy details behind Spitting SAT Image and its satirical forays. Roger describes one occasion SAT when they depicted the Duke of York, then a bachelor about SAT town, as a nude pin-up with 2lbs of glistening Cumberland SAT sausages between his legs, The Queen consulted the Director SAT of Prosecutions believing that they had simply gone too far. SAT He replied, 'Ma'am if we prosecute;they will appear in court SAT with the puppet ...and the sausages.' It was the end of the SAT issue. SAT SAT So just what is satirically possible today? Law will SAT interview a wide variety of the awkward squad such as Steve SAT Bell of the Guardian to see how far is too far. Where do SAT they draw the line? From editors of newspapers to SAT cartoonists and stand-up comedians, we'll find out how today SAT compares with the inglorious past.

SAT SAT Speakers are given two weeks to research their arguments SAT before appearing in the debate in front of an invited SAT audience at Cambridge University. We follow the debate, but SAT also hear about their research process and from the people SAT who have acted as their mentors. SAT SAT At the end of a programme, a vote is taken, and the speakers SAT are invited to reflect on the experience. Has it changed SAT their established views? SAT SAT The motion is: 'Celebrities have no automatic rights to a SAT private life.' SAT SAT Speaking for the motion is TV presenter John Leslie, and SAT against is columnist and writer Toby Young. SAT SAT In an increasingly celebrity-centric society, should stars SAT who ultimately survive on the oxygen of publicity have the SAT right to a private life? Is a lack of clear privacy laws SAT eroding the freedom of the press, and are celebrities SAT hypocritical when it comes to balancing privacy with SAT publicity - or do they need protection? SAT SAT The programme is recorded in front of an invited audience at SAT Judge Business School in Cambridge. SAT SAT Producer: David Prest SAT A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4.

Coming back to Belfast later in SAT his life, Fiacc recognised many of these social problems and SAT was able to write about them with an outsider's eye. His SAT straightforward language and spare, stark style marked him SAT out from the more lyrical poets writing in the great Irish SAT tradition, and for decades he has been cold-shouldered by SAT the literary establishment. Brian Patten tells the story, SAT illustrated with some of Fiacc's most poignant and sometimes SAT disturbing poems. SAT SAT The reader is Jonjo O'Neill. SAT SAT Produced by Christine Hall.

Continuing his series that discovers how places have SUN shaped major political events, Peter Hennessy visits the SUN Office of the Prime Minister in the House of Commons which SUN has been the little-known cockpit of war planning since 1950. SUN SUN The Prime Minister's Office is a compact, little-known SUN feature of the Palace of Westminster. But its seemingly SUN anonymous character and modest furnishings belie its SUN centrality to British military deployments across the SUN post-war decades. SUN SUN After sketching the Office's history and layout, Peter SUN Hennessy recalls first the events of late 1950 when Clement SUN Attlee's Labour Government, which had recently committed SUN troops to the costly Korean War, was faced with a fresh SUN crisis in the east Asian conflict. In Washington, US SUN President Harry Truman appeared to suggest that nuclear SUN weapons might be used in Korea. The alarm this off-the-cuff SUN statement generated in London led to a hastily-convened SUN Cabinet meeting in the Prime Minister's Office and the SUN decision that Attlee should travel immediately to Washington SUN for urgent talks. SUN SUN The next episode Peter Hennessy considers took place during SUN the 1956 Suez crisis. Specifically, he recalls a Cabinet SUN meeting that November when the Conservative premier, Sir SUN Anthony Eden, and his colleagues, had to face up to the SUN immense financial and political pressure being put upon them SUN by the Eisenhower administration in Washington to withdraw SUN from the Suez Canal. It proved to be a fateful meeting. SUN SUN Finally, Peter Hennessy turns his attention to the role of SUN the Office in the Falklands War of 1982. It was in this room SUN that the prime minister, Margaret Thatcher, was persuaded SUN that a task force could - and should - be assembled to SUN retake the islands from the Argentinians.

With nearly 70% of drinks now bought in a SUN supermarket is there a future in high street off-licencing? SUN SUN Robert Clark of Retail Knowledge Bank looks at the recent SUN history of the off-licence, and who has emerged successfully SUN from the recession, including Majestic, Bargain Booze and SUN Tesco. We speak to Tesco's director of Beer Wine and Spirits SUN Dan Jago about their wines, as well as their discounting SUN policy and what impact that has on the industry. SUN SUN Bargain Booze, based primarily in the north is now the SUN biggest high street off licence chain. What they offer is SUN clear - big brands sold as cheaply as possible.

And at the other end of the SUN scale she visits Green and Blue, a thriving independent off SUN licence based in East Dulwich in London, an off-licence as SUN well as a wine bar and restaurant, running wine courses as SUN well.

SUN SUN 14:45 Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen's Escape to the Country b00s8djt (Listen) SUN Healing in the Open Air SUN SUN In the wake of the unprecedented horrors of the First World SUN War, the countryside, far from the brutality of SUN industrialized cities, came to be seen as a place of SUN healing: moral, physical and spiritual. Movements such as SUN the Woodcraft Folk, established by Leslie Paul in 1925, SUN aimed for peace and solidarity and sought to heal the SUN fragmentation of society by conflict, proselytizing a strong SUN pagan and anti-capitalist ethos that embraced the natural SUN world. SUN SUN Like the Scout movement but with a less militaristic SUN emphasis, the Woodcraft Folk emphasized education of the SUN young, rearing a new generation of nature-savvy, SUN outdoor-loving young people edified by their proximity to nature. SUN SUN We base this programme at the Stroud regional camp to survey SUN the 'innocent pleasures' of the countryside as interpreted SUN and enjoyed by Woodcraft Folk. Contributors include Camila SUN Batmanshelidjh and Richard Maybey. SUN SUN Producer: Lucy Greenwell SUN A Just Radio production for BBC Radio 4.

SUN SUN Producer: Thomas Morris. SUN SUN 16:30 Back to the Hellespont b00s8f1x (Listen) SUN It is 200 years since the poet Lord Byron swam the SUN Hellespont, commemorating the feat in a poem and setting off SUN a mania for swimming throughout Europe. He said it was his SUN proudest moment. SUN SUN His talent for swimming was one of the qualities that made SUN him a legend and wherever he swam became almost a sacred SUN spot. On the shore of the Bay of Spezzia, where Shelley SUN drowned, stands a plinth dedicated to "Lord Byron, Noted SUN English Swimmer and Poet". Note which comes first! SUN SUN Comedian and Channel swimmer Doon Mackichan takes a look at SUN the man and the event through his poetry and journal SUN entries, comparing Byron's swim with the experiences of some SUN of the swimmers who turn up every year for a race across SUN this historical channel that separates Europe and Asia. SUN Organised by the Canakkale Rotary Club, it is one of the SUN highlights of the wild water swimming calendar. SUN SUN Byron was inspired by Leander who, according to Ovid, SUN nightly swam the strait to visit his beloved Hero and, after SUN hours of love making, swam back home again. No slouch in the SUN sack himself, Byron marvelled that Leander's conjugal powers SUN were not "exhausted in his passage to Paradise". SUN SUN Swimming gave Byron, lame as he was, some of the most SUN exhilarating moments of his life. Only in swimming was he SUN able to experience complete freedom of movement and freedom SUN was a state he aspired to in all things - political and SUN sexual. SUN SUN How many of today's swimmers have been inspired by Byron to SUN put pen to paper? The programme set them a challenge and you SUN can hear some of the best entries alongside Byron's own SUN effort. SUN SUN The producer is Merilyn Harris, and this is a Testbed SUN production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN 17:00 PVS: The Search for Consciousness b00s77m0 (Listen) SUN It was John Waite's coverage of the Tony Bland case which SUN eventually led to the Law Lords giving permission for SUN feeding to be withdrawn. He'd been in a persistent SUN vegetative state for four years following the Hillsborough SUN disaster and died nine days after that ruling. With the SUN tubes and clinical paraphernalia removed his father, Allan, SUN said it was: "the first time he's looked like our Tony since SUN the day he set off for the football match." SUN SUN It was Tony's parents wish that future medical efforts SUN focused on trying to improve the diagnosis of PVS, and now SUN Dr Adrian Owen and his fellow Cambridge researchers are SUN using functional MRI scans to try to detect brain activity. SUN They've been asking patients and healthy volunteers to SUN imagine playing tennis to answer questions whilst being SUN scanned. In each of the healthy volunteers this stimulated SUN activity in the pre-motor cortex part of the brain which SUN deals with movement. This also happened in four out of 23 of SUN the patients presumed to be in a vegetative state. SUN SUN These are not patients who show any signs of any physical SUN recovery but the research raises the possibility that they SUN might retain a degree of consciousness and there might be a SUN way of communicating with them. Up to 12,000 people under 40 SUN in this country suffer traumatic brain injury every year SUN and, according to Professor John Pickard, head of SUN neurosurgery at Addenbrooke's hospital in Cambridge, there SUN are serious deficiencies in their care: "The tendency for SUN patients to be left to languish on general medical, surgical SUN and orthopaedic wards continues to their detriment." SUN SUN The work might eventually lead to improved diagnosis and SUN care for some patients. It started with the case of Kate SUN Bainbridge, a 37 year old teacher thought to be in a SUN vegetative state after contracting a viral infection. Dr SUN Owen showed her photos of her parents whilst her brain was SUN being scanned: "We found that areas of her brain burst into SUN activity that accorded perfectly with the brain locators of SUN healthy volunteers doing the same task." Today Kate sits in SUN a wheelchair "speaking" with the aid of a letter-board and SUN tells of her relief that doctors finally realised that she SUN was conscious even though she could not speak or make any SUN kind of signal. SUN SUN Vegetative state and minimal-conscious state are different SUN from brain death, which involves the total destruction of SUN all brain areas and the consequent collapse of heart-lung SUN function. If a vegetative state lasts for more than three SUN months (longer in certain forms of brain insult) there is SUN thought to be progressively less chance that the patient SUN will return to even minimal consciousness. SUN SUN Today Kate is grateful for the work going on at Cambridge SUN University and credits neuroscientist Dr Owen with helping SUN her communicate - she can send and recieve e-mails, watch SUN television and listen to music. She would like to see much SUN more done to help others diagnosed as being in a persistent SUN vegetative state: "Not being able to communicate was awful - SUN I felt trapped inside my body. I had loads of questions, SUN like 'Where am I?', 'Why am I here?', 'What has happened?'. SUN SUN "I just have to look and see what the scans did for me. They SUN found I was there inside my body that did not respond.".

He was a leading SUN figure in the lobbying that produced the legalisation of SUN homosexuality for adults over the age of twenty one in 1967. SUN Also: Jean-Louis Dumas who turned the French luxury brand SUN Hermes into a multi billion dollar global company. SUN The actress Lynn Redgrave who had a gift for comedy and SUN battled her personal demons in public. SUN Guenter Wendt who was in charge of the final pre-flight SUN checks before pioneering American astronauts launched into space. SUN And Avigdor Arikha, the Israeli artist whose first drawings SUN depicted the horrors of the concentration camp where he was SUN taken as a child. SUN SUN ANTONY GREY SUN SUN Gay rights campaigner who has died aged 82. SUN SUN Antony Grey was a leading campaigner for gay rights. He led SUN the lobbying that resulted in the legalisation of homosexual SUN acts between consenting adults over the age of twenty one in SUN 1967. And he went on to take a prominent role in subsequent SUN campaigns for the equal treatment of gay and lesbian people. SUN Antony learned his lobbying skills working for the British SUN Iron and Steel Federation. He later became secretary of the SUN Homosexual Law Reform Society, a position he held for twenty SUN years, and he was also Director of the Albany Trust, known SUN for its pioneering work with sexual minorities. SUN SUN Matthew spoke to Jeremy Clarke of the Albany Trust and to SUN Antony’s friend and fellow campaigner Andrew Lumsden. SUN SUN Antony Grey (A. E. G. Wright) was born on October 6, 1927 SUN and died on April 30, 2010. SUN SUN JEAN-LOUIS DUMAS SUN SUN President of Hermes house of fashion who has died aged 72. SUN SUN Jean-Louis Dumas turned the luxury French fashion company SUN Hermes into a multi billion dollar global brand. He was the SUN great grandson of Thierry Hermes who founded the company to SUN sell handcrafted bridles and saddles in 1837. They soon SUN branched out into exclusive leather goods, accessories and SUN clothes. The company’s silk scarves and ties became popular SUN with the wealthy. Under his leadership, the company created SUN the iconic Birkin handbag inspired by the actress Jane SUN Birkin. SUN SUN Matthew spoke to the actress Jane Birkin and to the style SUN and brand expert Peter York. SUN SUN Jean-Louis Dumas was born on February 2 1938 and died on 1 SUN May 2010. SUN SUN LYNN REDGRAVE SUN SUN Actress and playwright, from the Redgrave acting dynasty who SUN has died aged 67. SUN SUN The deaths of Vanessa Redgrave’s daughter Natasha Richardson SUN in a skiing accident and her brother Corin last month, have SUN now been followed by the death of her younger sister Lynn. SUN Lynn Redgrave was a talented actress with a particular gift SUN for comedy. She came to prominence as part of Laurence SUN Olivier’s first National Theatre company and went on to make SUN a number of films which epitomised the swinging sixties, SUN most notably Georgy Girl. She made her home in the United SUN States and appeared regularly on Broadway. She was nominated SUN for an Oscar for her supporting role with Ian McKellen in SUN the film “Gods and Monsters”. SUN SUN We spoke to Lynn’s long time friend and fellow actress SUN Caroline John and to the theatre critic Michael Coveney. SUN SUN Lynn Rachel Redgrave was born 8 March 1943 and died 2 May SUN 2010. SUN SUN GUNTER WENDT SUN SUN NASA engineer who has died aged 85. SUN SUN For the pioneering American astronauts of the 1960s and 70s, SUN the last face they saw before blast off was that of Gunter SUN Wendt. The German born engineer was officially known as “Pad SUN Leader” – which made him responsible for all the pre flight SUN checks at the top of the rocket as it sat on the launch pad. SUN SUN Matthew spoke to John Tribe, former NASA colleague and to SUN the astronaut Jim Lovell. SUN SUN Guenter Wendt was born Aug 28, 1923, and died May 3, 2010. SUN SUN AVIGDOR ARIKHA SUN SUN Israeli artist who has died aged 81. SUN SUN The Israeli painter Avigdor Arikha seemed to take the SUN opposite artistic journey from most twentieth century SUN artists. He began as an abstract artist, but gave up the SUN form after a crisis in the 1960s. For eight years he refused SUN to do anything but draw. But then he resumed figurative SUN painting, capturing the details of life around him. He also SUN painted portraits including a portrait of the Queen Mother SUN and the actress Catherine Deneuve. SUN SUN Matthew spoke to friend and former TV feature maker Patricia SUN Wheatley. SUN SUN Avigdor Arikha, painter, was born on April 28, 1929 and died SUN on April 29, 2010.

MON MON 09:45 Book of the Week b00s8hv6 (Listen) MON A Gambling Man - Charles II and The Restoration, Episode 1 MON MON Michael Maloney reads from the book by Jenny Uglow. MON MON Charles II was thirty when he crossed the Channel in fine MON May weather in 1660. His Restoration was greeted with MON maypoles and bonfires, like spring after long years of MON Cromwell's rule. But there was no going back, no way he MON could 'restore' the old. Certainty had vanished. The MON divinity of kingship fled with his father's beheading. MON 'Honour' was now a word tossed around in duels. 'Providence' MON could no longer be trusted. MON MON As the country was rocked by plague, fire and war, people MON searched for new ideas by which to live. MON MON Exactly ten years later Charles would stand again on the MON shore at Dover, laying the greatest bet of his life in a MON secret deal with his cousin, Louis XIV. MON MON The Restoration decade was one of experiment: from the MON science of the Royal Society to the startling role of credit MON and risk, from the shocking licence of the court to the MON failed attempts at toleration of different beliefs. MON Negotiating all these, Charles, the 'slippery sovereign', MON layed odds. Yet while his grandeur, his court and his MON colourful sex life were on display, his true intentions lay hidden. MON MON A Gambling Man is a portrait of Charles II, exploring his MON elusive nature through the lens of these ten vital years - MON and a portrait of a vibrant, violent, pulsing world, in MON which the risks the king took forged the fate of the nation, MON on the brink of the modern world.

It will be increasingly dominated MON by two countries that share nearly half of the world's MON population: India and China. But the hype around the MON economic growth of these two Asian giants, lumped hopefully MON together as "Chindia," has obscured some much darker truths. MON MON In this provocative series of programmes, Mukul Devichand MON travels across frontiers, from the controversial new ports MON China is building in the Indian Ocean to the poor interior MON villages of these continent-sized countries. He examines MON whether China's authoritarianism may in fact be doing much MON more for the poor than India's sometimes bloody democracy. MON He also looks at how the old nationalist rivalries mingle MON with the intense hunger for oil and other natural resources. MON Far from the dream of a co-operative "Chindia," there's a MON risk India and China may well end up at odds with each other MON in what some have called an Asian cold war. MON MON Part 1: The Power of the Poor MON MON In the churn and tumult of India and China's rapid economic MON growth, which country has done more to lift the lives of its MON hundreds of millions of very poor? In the first programme of MON the series, Mukul Devichand travels from Indian sweatshops MON to villages in rural western China to tell a tale of MON difficult lives, development and bloodshed which challenges MON the very idea of democracy. MON MON While India gave the poorest a vote at the ballot box, MON Communist China delivered rural education and built roads MON and factories at breakneck speed. Has Indian democracy MON failed to deliver where authoritarian China has succeeded? MON MON 20:30 Crossing Continents b00s3h3y (Listen) MON Can an economist save Peru?

MON MON But de Soto's ideas have proved controversial. Now they are MON being tested in the rainforests of the Amazon. The MON indigenous Peruvians who live there believe that they MON already own the land and protest against what they see as MON the encroachment of big business. Last year, protests MON culminated in more than 30 deaths at Bagua MON MON Linda Pressly journeys from Lima to the heart of the Amazon MON region with Hernando de Soto to discover how he is working MON with indigenous people. MON MON Presenter: Linda Pressly MON Producer: Paul Vickers. MON MON 21:00 Material World b00s7dvy (Listen) MON Quentin Cooper meets the scientists making news. He hears MON the science behind clearing up the oil spill in the Gulf of MON Mexico and how engineers trying to stop the leak are at the MON cutting edge of technology. MON MON We find out about strange undersea domes that have been MON spotted off the California coast. They are extinct asphalt MON volcanoes made from a mixture of hardened crude oil and MON marine fossils. MON MON Also on the programme, how one of our "So You Want to be a MON Scientist?" finalists will be contributing to the growing MON amount of research into crowd dynamics. Could his idea lead MON to changes in crowd management at major events? MON MON And Quentin investigates the science of Plasmonics, the MON ultimate ability to control light and use it to process MON information and manipulate materials at the smallest scale MON imaginable. MON MON Controlling the interaction between light and matter is MON fundamental to science and to technology - from probing MON entanglement in quantum physics to harnessing the MON spectacular information carrying capacity of optical fibres. MON Nanoscale fabrication allows the manufacture of new MON materials with increasing sophistication and freedom of MON design, but controlling light at the nanoscale remains a MON challenge. Traditionally light can only be controlled on MON length scales down to a little below the wavelength of MON light, a few hundred nanometres, hence the usual resolution MON limit of optical microscopes and telescopes. However, a new MON paradigm called plasmonics is emerging, to control light MON below its wavelength limit, down to nanometre length scales.

In the first MON of two programmes on modern day telescope builders and MON astronomers, Andrew Luck-Baker talks to some of the 2,000 MON strong team constructing a telescope unlike any that has MON been sent into space before. MON MON When launched in 2014, JWST will have by far the largest MON mirror on a space telescope - 6.5 metres across. It also MON needs to sit behind a giant sunshield so that it can chill MON to the temperature of deep space. The sun shade covers the MON area of a tennis court. MON MON One chief goal is be to see deeper into the cosmos than even MON Hubble has allowed. The further astronomers see, the further MON back through the Universe's history they voyage. With JWST, MON NASA scientists hope to see the very first stars to light up MON after the Big Bang, almost 14 billion years ago. Before MON these primordial stars, the Universe was just a void of MON cool, gaseous darkness.

So, the man who TUE has felt the sharp end of the democratic process sets off to TUE examine and interrogate development of this fickle, fragile, TUE sometimes futile entity that we know as democracy. TUE TUE Before 1900, there were no genuinely democratic countries in TUE the world - and never had been. By 1943 only a handful of TUE countries were still democratically run. It seemed that a TUE forty-year experiment in representative government had run TUE its course - and failed. TUE TUE Yet, sixty years later, democracy is seen as the greatest TUE gift that can be bestowed on another country, and it's an TUE ideal worth fighting and dying for. TUE TUE Michael Portillo uses this a starting point to question the TUE effectiveness of a form of government we take for granted. TUE Seen by Plato as dangerous, the Enlightenment as a route to TUE chaos and by nations in the Middle Eastern, Africa and China TUE as far from a universal panacea - democracy has a TUE surprisingly tenuous grip on the world. Michael meets TUE historians and the key state makers past and present to TUE analyse the fall, rise and future of what we glibly call TUE "the democratic ideal". TUE TUE Producer: Philip Sellars.

TUE TUE 11:30 The Tudor Tarantino b00s936x (Listen) TUE Dominic Arkwright charts the rise and fall of Thomas TUE Middleton, the bad boy of Renaissance drama. TUE TUE He wrote stories of murder, incest and sexual blackmail in TUE the backstreets of London and was hugely popular in his day, TUE occasionally out-selling Shakespeare at the box office. So TUE why were his plays banned from the stage for over three TUE hundred years? TUE TUE Gary Taylor, editor of The Complete Middleton, argues that TUE this dangerous genius was just too controversial to survive TUE and thrive. Shakespeare's stories of kings and queens, of TUE hope and redemption, outlasted the disturbing visions of the TUE trouble-maker Middleton. But more controversial is the claim TUE that Middleton had a hand in the Bard's success. TUE TUE Dominic examines the evidence for Middleton's TUE "collaborations" with Shakespeare, and looks at Middleton's TUE claim to greatness. Also assessing the case for Middleton TUE are Professor Jonathan Bate, Professor Sir Brian Vickers, TUE and actress Harriet Walter, about to take to the London TUE stage as one of Middleton's most villainous anti-heroes.

WED WED 21:00 Costing the Earth b00s9fgy (Listen) WED Rethinking Climate Change WED WED Could there be a better way to fight climate change? A group WED of top scientists has become exasperated with fighting what WED they see as a losing battle against carbon dioxide WED emissions. They want to open an entirely new front. WED WED 2009 was a depressing year for anyone who felt a sense of WED urgency in tackling climate change. The failure of the WED Copenhagen summit to agree international action was WED bookended by a series of scandals which seemed to undermine WED the credibility of some of the associated science. WED WED For many of the scientists intimately involved with climate WED analysis the events of 2009 were the ultimate stamp of WED failure on a long process that had done little to convince WED public or politicians of the need to act and nothing to WED actually turn back global warming. These scientists, authors WED of a new report to be published on the 11th of May, believe WED that they need to start afresh if we are to have any hope of WED success. WED WED They point out the obvious failure to reach multi-national WED agreements on curbing emissions. Future strategy should be WED led by individual groups, governments and temporary WED alliances. Efforts should focus on practical solutions that WED bring other benefits alongside emission-control. If a WED strategy brings about poverty reduction or economic renewal WED then it is much more likely to attract widespread support WED than any programme labelled as 'anti-climate change'. WED WED The group also believes that the focus on carbon dioxide has WED been mis-guided from the start. Around half of the WED greenhouse effect can be attributed to emissions other than WED CO2 from oil, gas and coal, and most of those emissions are WED easier to reduce. We should tackle black soot, reactive WED nitrogen and methane before we make the kind of tough WED decisions needed to fight carbon dioxide. WED WED In 'Costing the Earth' Tom Heap conducts a thorough WED examination of the new approach, asking if it's right to WED abandon all the efforts made over the last decade. Can we WED really save the planet without every major nation signed up WED to the same plan?

THU THU Presenter: Owen Bennett-Jones THU Producer: Shelley Thakral. THU THU 11:30 Why Go? b00s9g0b (Listen) THU The game of Go expresses "a psychological essence" of the THU Far East, according to the British Museum's Dr Irving THU Finkel. It's ancient, but no-one knows quite how old - the THU claim that it originated 4,000 years ago is open to THU question. What's beyond doubt is its place in oriental THU culture. The remarkable cave of Buddhist treasures THU discovered at Dunhuang on the Silk Road through China THU included a 6th century Go manual now kept in the British THU Library. Miniature Go boards and pieces have turned up in THU ancient burial sites. In the twentieth century, some of THU Japan's finest writers turned to Go for inspiration, THU following major games and probing the psychology of the top THU players. And, as the first atomic bomb fell, two of the THU world's best exponents of Go were playing a title match on THU the outskirts of Hiroshima. THU THU But Go is little known in the West. This is in spite of the THU efforts of one of the two players in what became known as THU the Atom Bomb Game, Iwamoto Kaoru, who spent his later years THU setting up Go Centres in Europe and the Americas. THU THU In Why Go?, Chris Ledgard explores the world of Go, talking THU to experts in the East and West about the game's history and THU culture, and examining some its ancient artefacts. Dr Finkel THU discusses Go's place in the history of games. After Go, he THU says, "you could argue that the world's board games went THU downhill." Susan Whitfield, the Director of the THU International Dunhuang Project, brings the fifteen hundred THU year Go manual out of storage and explains how it was THU discovered and what it tells us. Britain's two foremost THU experts on the game describe how they got hooked, and Chris THU Ledgard visits Amsterdam to examine Iwamoto Kaoru's legacy THU and find out why, in spite of all the time and money he THU spent, relatively few people in Europe play the game. THU THU Go's Chinese name is weiqi, which is often translated as THU "the surrounding game". It's a game of co-existence. Two THU players, one with black stones the other with white, place THU their pieces on the intersections of a board marked with 19 THU x 19 lines. The aim is to secure territory and the emphasis THU is on long-term strategy, subtlety, and not bludgeoning your THU opponent. In Why Go?, Rob Foster, a translator of the THU Dunhuang manal, describes the game as "a conversation...it's THU hand talk". And the programme addresses the key question of THU whether - as some argue - Go reflects aspects of oriental THU thinking and is a game few western players really understand.

FRI FRI "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" is part of both the FRI history of folk music and the Civil Rights struggle, so FRI familiar to Dylan fans that it is almost the stuff of FRI legend, so shocking in content that it seems like a story FRI from the days of slavery. FRI FRI Yet this crime took place less than 50 years ago, and only FRI few miles from where a black president sits in the White FRI House. FRI FRI On the evening of Friday 8 February 1963, William FRI Zantzinger, 24-year-old owner of an old-style tobacco FRI plantation, turned up drunk at a charity ball in Baltimore, FRI Maryland. Hattie Carroll was one of the African-Americans FRI serving the guests at a time when America was still segregated. FRI FRI Zantzinger yelled at Carroll for not pouring his drink FRI quickly enough and tapped her with his walking cane. Carroll FRI collapsed and died of heart failure. She was 51 years old, FRI and left 9 orphaned children, not ten as Dylan sang. Dylan FRI was correct however in reporting that Zantzinger was lightly FRI treated - he received six months for manslaughter.
