But is equity release always a good idea? SAT What does it cost? And what restrictions are there? SAT Banks are imposing tough new rules on politicians ahead of SAT EU laws which will treat with suspicion all banking activity SAT involving public figures. Members of the House of Lords seem SAT to be first in the frame with reports of members' children SAT being refused bank accounts or access to ATMs. SAT British Gas has confirmed to Money Box that it will be SAT paying £55 less warm home discount to its low income SAT pensioners and other customers this winter.

This winter it will not SAT do so, bringing its discount down to the level paid by other SAT suppliers. So who can get the discount? And what do they SAT have to do? SAT HSBC has been forced to pay compensation to a customer who SAT transferred his pension to the bank but got no ongoing SAT service or advice, even though he was charged for it.

If an album of SAT classical music sold anywhere near one SAT million copies at that time, it was considered unusual. For SAT one to sell more than that was unprecedented. Adding further SAT to this phenomenon was the fact that this was unfamiliar SAT music at the time, Gregorian Chant, performed not by SAT celebrity artists who might attract a large following, but SAT by monks from a remote corner of Northern Spain. EMI SAT marketed this album Canto Gregoriano, or Chant as it was SAT named in America, as a unique antidote to stress. SAT Richard Coles with former EMI employees Kick Klimbie and SAT Jane McCann, retrace EMI's marketing tactics in the SAT promotion of Canto Gregoriano. Professor Adrian North will SAT also be providing insights throughout the programme into the SAT psychology of marketing, exploring what drives people to buy SAT certain things, and how music can impact upon us physically SAT and emotionally. Richard Coles also takes a trip to the Isle SAT of Wight, where Gregorian Chant is still an important aspect SAT of life at both St Cecilia's Abbey and Quarr Abbey, and SAT questions whether such music is still capable of having any SAT meaning or impact upon our lives in the twenty-first SAT century.

SAT SAT Northern Soul SAT SAT The late 1960’s in the north of England saw the birth of SAT Northern Soul, an American inspired dance movement which SAT gained a passionate youth following, and helped to define a SAT generation. In Elaine Constantine’s film ‘Northern Soul’, SAT the intensity of this underground movement is portrayed by SAT following the story of two young friends trying to make a SAT name for themselves as Northern Soul DJ’s. This is Elaine’s SAT directorial debut, and it charts a place and time that made SAT an indelible mark on her teenage years in Lancashire. Jane SAT Garvey will be talking to Elaine and to Northern Soul dance SAT instructor Sharon Sullivan, about the film and why the SAT movement still speaks to audiences today. SAT SAT Common People SAT SAT When SAT Alison Light SAT set out to write a book about her family history and SAT investigate the untold stories of ordinary folk, she found SAT paupers, publicans, skilled workers and an itinerant people SAT who travelled to work in servitude or industry.

The recordings date from the early SAT 1960s, a decade after the poet's death, SAT when his reputation was becoming clouded by scandal. SAT Cerys believed the recordings lost or destroyed. In fact, SAT over a hundred hours of interviews were bequeathed to the SAT National Library of Wales by her uncle's widow and some of SAT them are broadcast here for the first time. SAT This personal journey into the archive is both a celebration SAT of the life of Dylan Thomas and a glimpse into the life of SAT her uncle - 'an eccentric, radical journalist and SAT film-maker'. Here Cerys goes Under Milk Wood - into the SAT communities in which Dylan Thomas lived. SAT We hear Dylan's mother, Florence, describe how the SAT eight-year-old Dylan would write poems about the kitchen SAT sink. Dylan's school friend Charles Fisher recalls how he SAT 'collected words like rare butterflies'. Dylan's daughter, SAT Aeronwy , reflects on his daily rituals and drinking habits. SAT One of his closest friends Bert Trick, a Marxist grocer from SAT Swansea, describes Dylan's profane sense of humour. And we SAT hear from theatre director Philip Burton and poet Robert SAT Lowell about meetings with Dylan towards the end of his SAT life. SAT 'Listening to these tapes I started to understand the SAT strange contradictions at the heart of Dylan Thomas. The SAT boozer with the self-discipline to write verse, the child SAT with a visionary voice, the buffoon who took life so SAT seriously,' says Cerys. SAT Some of Cerys's favourite Dylan Thomas poems and writings SAT are set to music in the programme. Jeff Towns, Terry Jones, SAT Andrew Lycett, Gwen Watkins and David Thomas also SAT contribute.

SAT SAT 22:15 Moral Maze b04lsmhx (Listen) SAT Ched Evans SAT SAT The case of the footballer and convicted rapist Ched Evans SAT is a morality tale for our times. Evans, who played for SAT Wales and Sheffield United, was jailed for 5 and a half SAT years after being found guilty of SAT raping a woman who was so drunk she couldn't give her SAT consent. Clayton McDonald, then a Port Vale defender, who SAT was also involved, was cleared of the same charge. Evans has SAT always maintained his innocence and has not apologised to SAT the victim. He's now been released on licence and there are SAT calls for him to return to his footballing career. An online SAT petition with 150,000 signatures says Sheffield United SAT should not take him back. The story may read like a tawdry SAT tabloid expose, but it actually goes to the heart of the SAT kind of society we want and the kind of people we want to SAT be. Should a convicted rapist who's served his time and SAT maintains his innocence be entitled to get his job back? SAT Does the need for forgiveness and rehabilitation trump the SAT need for continuing disgrace and the need to make an example SAT of someone who for many should be a role model? Does the SAT fact of being a high profile figure put you in a different SAT moral category that deserves extra punished? Or does that SAT send out a message that even though you've served your time SAT you still may not be allowed the chance to rebuild your life SAT and reintegrate in to society.

Often, they arrive SUN at camps severely SUN malnourished. Since conflict erupted in South Sudan in SUN December 2013, more than SUN 1.4 million people have been displaced and more than SUN 400,000, many of them SUN women and children, have fled to neighbouring countries, SUN such as Ethiopia, in SUN search of safety. In these emergency situations, our teams SUN provide life-saving SUN therapeutic treatment, as well as psychological support, SUN and food, water, SUN sanitation and hygiene assistance, in a bid to reduce SUN suffering and save lives.

SUN SUN Miranda Krestovnikoff presents the World's most numerous SUN bird; red billed quelea. Red-billed queleas are the most SUN numerous birds in the world and as part of the weaverbird SUN family sound and look like small neat sparrows. Their SUN ability to adapt to local conditions and travel for food SUN allows large populations of fast-breeding queleas to build SUN up. The statistics are mind-boggling. Some flocks of SUN red-billed quelea can comprise millions of birds which may SUN take hours to fly past. There are probably between one and a SUN half and ten billion birds in Africa. They breed in vast SUN colonies; one colony in Nigeria covered one hundred and ten SUN hectares and contained thirty one million nests.

SUN SUN 13:30 In Search of the Real Searchers b04mh75d (Listen) SUN In 1956 John Ford's film The Searchers offered a vivid and SUN complex portrayal of frontier life in post Civil War Texas SUN dominated by the brooding presence of John Wayne's Ethan SUN Edwards, a bitter, brooding war SUN veteran searching for his kidnapped niece. Adapted from Alan SUN LeMay's classic novel, dramatized later today on Radio 4, SUN The Searchers has become an enduring classic. But what is SUN the real history behind the 1954 novel and later film? Who SUN were the real searchers? SUN Mark Burman takes an epic journey across the American West SUN that begins in God's own movie set, Monument Valley, the SUN backdrop for all Ford's Westerns from Stagecoach onwards. On SUN screen this is Texas 1868, marauded by Comanches. In reality SUN this is Arizona, the Indians are Navajo and their leader, SUN Scar, is actually Heinrich von Kleinbach! This is a piece of SUN casting that finds unlikely echoes in the real history SUN behind The Searchers. SUN Three decades separate two raids that encapsulate the long SUN war between the Comanches and the white settlers who found SUN their way to Texas in ever growing numbers. In 1836 a brutal SUN attack on Fort Parker saw the abduction of 9 year old SUN Cynthia Ann Parker whilst in 1864 the Elm Creek Raid took SUN the family of black slave Britt Johnson. These events and SUN other bitter encounters between Comanches and Texans shaped SUN both Texas history and the later mythology of the Wild West. SUN The real searchers, Burman finds, are even more heroic than SUN John Wayne and a challenge to the movie stereotypes of SUN cowboys and Indians. SUN Producer: Mark Burman. SUN SUN 14:00 Gardeners' Question Time b04lsxhc (Listen) SUN Findon SUN SUN Eric Robson chairs the horticultural panel programme from SUN Findon in West Sussex. Bunny Guinness, Christine Walkden and SUN Matthew Wilson take questions from the audience of local SUN gardeners. SUN SUN Produced by Howard SUN Shannon SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4 SUN For more information on Tristan Gooley, the Natural SUN Navigator featured in this week's programme - visit his SUN website here: www.naturalnavigator.com SUN This week's questions and answers: SUN Q. Can I dig out and transplant a small offshoot (a sucker SUN from the rootstock) of a Japanese Maple? If so, what is the SUN best time to do this? SUN A. Yes, you could do this, but as Japanese Maples are SUN grafted onto the rootstock of other Acers, so you may get a SUN surprise if the shoot is from the roots! However, it could SUN be a seedling. Either way, move it in late spring. SUN Q. How and when should I prune a vigorous Honey Suckle? SUN A. Cut it down to two foot next May. You could train the SUN shoots horizontally to encourage flowering. SUN Q. Can I propagate from Agapanthus seeds? Do they need to be SUN dried and what's the best time to do this? SUN A. The seeds have to be fully ripe before you sow them. The SUN capsule will turn brown and start splitting - this is the SUN time to harvest. Leave the seeds somewhere quite warm to dry SUN out for about a month. Sow the seeds in a gritty soil mix - SUN possibly a mix of John Innes cutting compost with 25 to 50 SUN percent grit added. Plant them about an inch deep, leave SUN them on the kitchen windowsill and be prepared to wait for SUN anything from a month to up to six months for germination. SUN Leave the seedlings in the seed tray for the first year SUN until you see at least one true leaf. Feed the bulbs with a SUN half-strength fertiliser in the fist year to keep them SUN growing and try and keep them growing for as long as SUN possible. Then let them go dormant and when they come into SUN growth the second year it's time to pot them individually. SUN Alternatively, you could just divide up existing Agapanthus SUN plants. SUN Q. Is there a good time to move Peonies and does the panel SUN have any advice on how to encourage flowering? SUN A. The books say don't do it, but Peonies do move well. Lift SUN the plant in a big clump if possible. Move it in February/ SUN March if you have clay soil. Make sure it has enough SUN moisture. If it's too big to move as one clump, split it SUN gently with your hands and a knife. Make sure you don't SUN plant too high because peonies need lots of moisture and SUN they won't get this if grown on high ground. SUN Q. What is the secret to the successful propagation of SUN French Tarragon? SUN A. Cuttings. Put them straight into a gritty soil early in SUN the spring. SUN Q. When is a gnarly old rose bush too old? SUN A. When it stops flowering well and looks decrepit. SUN Q. How should I tame my large Callistemon (Bottlebrush) SUN plant? SUN A. Prune beyond the knobbly bits soon after flowering and be SUN bold - they look great if you grow them in large swathes. SUN SUN 14:45 The Listening Project b04mh75g (Listen) SUN Fi Glover introduces a conversation between a mother and son SUN from Carlisle about whose right it was to reveal he was gay, SUN and the depression which both he and his father have SUN experienced, in the Omnibus edition SUN of the series that proves it's surprising what you hear when SUN you listen. 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 learn more about The Listening SUN Project by visiting bbc.co.uk/listeningproject SUN Producer: Marya Burgess. SUN SUN 15:00 Classic Serial b04mh75j (Listen) SUN The Searchers, Episode 1 SUN SUN By Alan Le May SUN Dramatised for radio by Adrian Bean SUN SUN Episode one of a new adaptation of the classic western SUN novel, upon which the famous film was based. SUN SUN Texas, 1848. When Comanches attack the Edwards family's SUN settlement on the Texas plains, they kidnap two girls - SUN seventeen year-old Lucy and ten year-old Debbie. So Amos SUN Edwards sets out on the dangerous mission to recover his two SUN nieces, with the help of his nephew Mart and a rag-tag bunch SUN of searchers. Their epic mission will last six years. The SUN concluding episode is at the same time next week. SUN Alan Le May's 1954 novel is a timeless work of western SUN fiction and a no-holds-barred portrait of the real American SUN frontier. It explores the fear and the hatred that SUN underpinned the lives of both the white settlers and the SUN Native Americans. And what emerges is a violent account of a SUN creeping genocide, as one culture inevitably triumphs over SUN the other. SUN John Ford's 1956 film, based on the novel, starred John SUN Wayne as Ethan Edwards (called Amos in the book and radio SUN adaptation). Ford's film was named the Greatest Western SUN Movie of all time by the American Film Institute in 2008. SUN Radio 4 investigates the story behind the novel with 'In SUN Search of the Real Searchers' at 1.30pm on Sunday 26th SUN October. And for more western drama, a new adaptation of SUN Glendon Swarthout's 'The Shootist' is broadcast Saturday SUN 25th October at 2.30pm.

In this SUN programme marking the Welsh poet's centenary, former Berlin SUN correspondent Stephen Evans explores how Dylan Thomas became SUN a cultural export for the British during the Cold War, and SUN how his work helped sustain a generation of East Germans SUN struggling with a totalitarian state trying to control what SUN they read, wrote and thought.

SUN SUN Many children believe there is a monster or SUN something strange and dark and menacing lurking under their SUN bed, just waiting to leap out when the lights are off and SUN everyone is asleep. As we grow up it's a place for hiding SUN things, for playing or exploring. Later still it's where we SUN stash the overspill of student or adult lives, where we keep SUN boxes of photos or the detritus of life that holds memories SUN we can't bring ourselves to throw away. It's where we hide SUN the Christmas presents, stash diaries, love letters and SUN wedding albums. As we get older still perhaps it's the place SUN where slippers, half read books or life savings nestle. And SUN it's a place which evolves and changes with us throughout SUN life. SUN Writer .....

MON MON It's January 1969, the winter after the summer of love, and MON Jill and David's fledgling relationship is about to be put MON to test by the outbreak of Hong Kong Flu. MON MON My Life with MON Flu has been produced in collaboration with the Wellcome MON Trust Sanger Institute. In five episodes it follows the MON story of Jill across five decades as she struggles with the MON highs and lows of life, love and viral infection. At the MON same time the story tracks the life of Hong Kong Flu - how, MON over 45 years, it has traversed the globe, evolved and is MON ultimately being superseded by new, more virulent strains, MON such as Swine Flu. MON Using cutting edge science - of transmission, viral MON evolution and genetic predisposition - it tells the story of MON flu, and investigates the unique qualities of Jill's genome MON which make her a 'severe responder'. Paul Kellam, Virus MON Genomics team leader at the Sanger Institute worked closely MON with writer Sarah Woods to weave the science seamlessly into MON the story.

Business is booming in MON Yangon, thanks to new access to international markets. And MON while the country is offering greater MON stability for investors, ethnic and political tensions still MON run high. Burma/Myanmar is a rapidly changing and MON challenging place. MON Anthropologist and linguist Mark Turin travels to Myanmar to MON explore what these transformations mean for the indigenous MON ethnic groups that make up much of the population, and MON specifically for their languages and cultures. Myanmar is a MON hugely diverse nation: according to a contested recent MON census, it is home to 135 distinct ethnic groups who are in MON turn grouped into eight "major national ethnic races." Among MON them are the Mon, whose Austroasiatic language is still MON widely spoken and who lay claim to an ancient script that's MON used to write Pali and Sanskrit. In highland areas, the MON states of Chin, Kachin and Shan derive their names from the MON dominant ethnic groups of the region, but these states are MON also home to many smaller, distinct communities. To date, MON the state has focussed on national building around a united MON Burmese identity rather than supporting minority MON communities. Official government education policy, for MON example, still prohibits the teaching of ethnic languages in MON schools. MON Mark Turin speaks to government representatives, teachers, MON religious leaders and language experts in the field to find MON out whether these minority languages can survive in 21st MON Myanmar. Is the growth of English threatening Myanmar's MON indigenous languages? What is the role of religion in MON maintaining linguistic diversity? What does the future hold MON for Myanmar's unique tapestry of cultural and linguistic MON diversity? MON Producer Mark Rickards.

In a unique MON partnership between the Imperial War Museums MON and the BBC, two sound archive collections featuring MON survivors of the war are brought together for the first MON time. The Imperial War Museums' holdings include a major MON oral history resource of remarkable recordings made in the MON 1980s and early 1990s with the remaining survivors of the MON conflict. The interviews were done not for immediate use or MON broadcast, but because it was felt that this diminishing MON resource that could never be replenished, would be of unique MON value in the future. Speakers recall in great detail as MON though it were yesterday the conditions of the trenches, the MON brutality of the battlefield, the experience of seeing their MON first casualty and hearing their first shell, their daily MON and nightly routines as soldiers, pilots or navy members of MON all ranks, and their psychological state in the face of so MON much trauma. This series will broadcast many of these MON recordings for the first time. Among the BBC's extensive MON collection of archive featuring first hand recollections of MON the conflict a century ago, are the interviews recorded for MON the 1964 TV series 'The Great War', which vividly bring to MON life the human experience of those fighting and living MON through the war. MON Dan Snow narrates this new oral history, which will be MON broadcast in short seasons throughout the commemorative MON period. MON Programme 1 - First impressions MON The war gets underway, with speakers' recollections of the MON day war broke out, their journey to France, and their first MON experiences of the Front.

Alice Glaston was hung from the gallows tree in MON Much Wenlock in Shropshire in 1545. MON When writer Paul Evans who was born here, later returned to MON live here and discovered the story of Alice Glaston from a MON passing reference in a local history book, he was both MON shocked and intrigued. The more he thought about the story, MON and walked the same places Alice walked; the more he stood MON in the spot where the gallows tree once grew, the more he MON felt a responsibility to tell the story. This poem links MON Alice with the landscape, which in some sense still contains MON her, and back to the memory of the people. MON This ghostly tale spans almost five centuries (from the MON dissolution of the monasteries to the present day). Alice is MON a benign presence; through her we see the landscape in a MON different way. Her story elicits compassion and stimulates MON the imagination. Beautiful landscapes have dark histories. MON Some events are so powerful they leave a trace of themselves MON as a memory in the place where they occurred. Like mud in a MON pond stirred up by someone poking around, these memories are MON recovered from the place and take on a life of their own. MON Alice became part of the landscape but a forgotten ghost. MON For Paul, this telling is a way to free Alice's ghost; she MON should not be brushed out of history because she represents MON an uncomfortable truth; she should not be forgotten. With MON the passage of time and the seasons, her story does not die, MON but is relived and retold. MON It is the landscape and its stories which have inspired this MON poem, and this landscape is powerfully evoked through sound MON recordings by Chris Watson. Alice is played by Bettrys MON Jones.

TUE TUE It's 1975, six years since Jill and David huddled under the TUE blankets together, full of flu. Now Jill is preparing to TUE marry John - the wedding preparations are in full TUE swing, but then David arrives on the doorstep. TUE My Life with Flu has been produced in collaboration with the TUE Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. In five episodes it follows TUE the story of Jill across five decades as she struggles with TUE the highs and lows of life, love and viruses. At the same TUE time the story tracks the life of Hong Kong Flu - how, over TUE 45 years, it has traversed the globe, evolved and is TUE ultimately being superseded by new, more virulent strains, TUE such as Swine Flu. TUE The series uses cutting edge science - of transmission, TUE viral evolution and genetic predisposition - to tell the TUE story of flu, and investigate the unique qualities of Jill's TUE genome which make her a 'severe responder'. Paul Kellam, TUE Virus Genomics team leader at the Sanger Institute worked TUE closely with writer Sarah Woods to weave the science TUE seamlessly into the story. The drama underlines the deep TUE connection human beings have to the viruses that survive TUE through us, and how illness can shape the course of our TUE lives.

Many species have been studied intensively TUE over decades on their breeding grounds in the sub-Antarctic TUE and the Pacific. Clever studies TUE involving satellite tracking and simple observations from TUE ships have shown they can disperse and forage across the TUE whole of the southern ocean. Monitoring of their populations TUE has shown a marked decline in their numbers since the 1980's TUE so much so all albatross species are now threatened. A key TUE cause of albatross decline was found quickly after the TUE decline in populations was noticed; long-line fishing hooks TUE baited with squid and floating on the surface after being TUE deployed was an easy meal for an ocean scavenger and often TUE their last. Shared Planet visits this story many years after TUE it broke to report a cautious success on the high level TUE conservation measures that were put in place involving TUE biologists and the fishing industry. On this trajectory, it TUE seems, we might be able to share the ocean with albatrosses TUE and catch fish. TUE TUE Alastair Fothergill TUE The Blue Planet TUE ’, ' TUE Planet Earth TUE ' and ' TUE Frozen Planet TUE ', all narrated by Sir David Attenborough. TUE In addition to his work with the BBC Natural History Unit, TUE Alastair has co-directed two cinematic movies for Disney as TUE part of their Disneynature label. He set up Silverback Films TUE in 2012 and is currently making ‘The Hunt’, which looks at TUE the relationships between predators and their prey. TUE Alastair is fellow of the TUE Royal Geographic Society TUE who awarded him their gold medal in 2012. He has honorary TUE doctorates from the Universities of Durham and Hull. TUE TUE Dr Richard Phillips TUE British Antarctic Survey Core Science Ecosystems programme TUE The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has helped carry out TUE long-term population studies of albatrosses and petrels at TUE Bird Island dating back to the early 1960s for wandering TUE albatross, the 1970s for grey-headed and black-browed TUE albatrosses and the 1990s for light-mantled sooty TUE albatrosses and giant petrels. TUE BAS also carries out a variety of dedicated studies, TUE integrating conventional observational techniques with the TUE latest in tracking and logging technology, and molecular and TUE stable isotope analysis. A large component of the current TUE research is directed at addressing the declines in albatross TUE and petrel populations as a result of incidental mortality TUE in longline and trawl fisheries. TUE TUE Ben Sullivan TUE RSPB TUE and TUE BirdLife International TUE 's TUE Global Seabird Program TUE In 2010 he was awarded a TUE Pew Fellowship in Marine Conservation TUE for his project to reduce seabird “bycatch,” or the catching TUE and killing of non-target species, in open-ocean longline TUE and trawl fisheries. TUE His research analyses devices to scare birds from behind TUE longliners and trawlers, and aims to develop and evaluate TUE new technology to prevent birds accessing hooks. The project TUE also tests innovative line weighting to increase the sink TUE rate of longline hooks as they leave the vessel. TUE Dr Sullivan received a PhD from the University of TUE Queensland. Prior to his current position with the RSPB - TUE the UK partner of BirdLife International - he served as TUE project manager for the Seabirds at Sea Team of TUE Falklands Conservation TUE He has been involved in the implementation of the TUE Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) International Plan TUE of Actions for seabirds TUE for many years, and he is also actively involved with the TUE work of the TUE Agreement for the Conservation of Albatross and Petrels TUE (ACAP). TUE TUE Russell Hall TUE MSC TUE certification for sustainability.

He argues that businesses have to deal with every TUE aspect of sustainability in order to stay in the fishing TUE business for the long term. TUE TUE 11:30 Dr Hepcat and the Hepster's Dictionary b04mcmnl (Listen) TUE In 1938, the singer and band leader Cab Calloway became the TUE first known African American to publish a book and call it a TUE dictionary. His book of jive talk, Cab Calloway's Hepster's TUE Dictionary, translated some TUE of the lively and inventive slang being used among musicians TUE and entertainers in New York's Harlem, for a new audience of TUE jazz fans who weren't yet 'hep to the jive'. TUE The poet Lemn Sissay finds out how Calloway, famous for his TUE hit song Minnie the Moocher, came to write the dictionary, TUE and how it became the official reference book of jive in the TUE New York Public Library at a time when black people in TUE America were still highly segregated from the white TUE mainstream. TUE Lemn speaks to Cab Calloway's eldest daughter Camay Murphy TUE who remembers Harlem in the 1930s and 40s, and Cab's TUE grandson Christopher Calloway Brooks who is a bandleader TUE himself. TUE Jive grew out of older African American vernaculars which TUE had their roots in slave plantations in the nineteenth TUE century. As people came up from the southern states to the TUE northern cities to look for work, jive developed around the TUE world of jazz music, entertainment and night life in Harlem. TUE It was a private 'in the know' language, a form of TUE protection and a way to get past the authorities, but it was TUE also fun and incredibly creative. TUE Some words survive, like hip, chick, groovy, dig, cool and TUE beat. Other jive terms may no longer be in use - like collar TUE to comprehend, pounders for policemen, or a rug cutter for a TUE good dancer - but the words of jive remain a revealing TUE portrait of Harlem in its heyday.

In a unique TUE partnership between the Imperial War Museums TUE and the BBC, two sound archive collections featuring TUE survivors of the war are brought together for the first TUE time. The Imperial War Museums' holdings include a major TUE oral history resource of remarkable recordings made in the TUE 1980s and early 1990s with the remaining survivors of the TUE conflict. The interviews were done not for immediate use or TUE broadcast, but because it was felt that this diminishing TUE resource that could never be replenished, would be of unique TUE value in the future. Speakers recall in great detail as TUE though it were yesterday the conditions of the trenches, the TUE brutality of the battlefield, the experience of seeing their TUE first casualty and hearing their first shell, their daily TUE and nightly routines as soldiers, pilots or navy members of TUE all ranks, and their psychological state in the face of so TUE much trauma. This series will broadcast many of these TUE recordings for the first time. Among the BBC's extensive TUE collection of archive featuring first hand recollections of TUE the conflict a century ago, are the interviews recorded for TUE the 1964 TV series 'The Great War', which vividly bring to TUE life the human experience of those fighting and living TUE through the war. TUE Dan Snow narrates this new oral history, which will be TUE broadcast in short seasons throughout the commemorative TUE period.

TUE TUE Despite being protected on paper, many of the world's and TUE the UK's rare plants and flowers are being targeted by TUE thieves and smugglers. From the moment a new species is TUE discovered it can have a high price on TUE its head, with collectors going to the ends of the earth to TUE source a prized specimen. Tom Heap discovers how easy it is TUE to find rare plants for sale on the net and how such trade TUE not only threatens those plant species with extinction but TUE could destroy the elements within them that could help in TUE medicine. TUE There are five times as many plants as animals protected by TUE CITES (Convention on International Trade of Endangered TUE Species) meaning they can only be sold if a permit is TUE granted but arguably there is less public concern about TUE flora than fauna. Many orchids, cacti, cycads and various TUE timbers are among them which the Border Force and Kew TUE Botanic Gardens try to help monitor and police. TUE But not all thieves are on expeditions to remote mountains. TUE Tom hears how many of the UK's botanic gardens have been TUE targeted. In some cases it may be an opportunist gardener TUE but in other cases it involves organised crime. Some gardens TUE are using new techniques to protect specimens or simply TUE having to keep them locked away, out of sight. TUE Some thefts which aren't in monitored collections may not TUE even be discovered for months, if at all. Calls are being TUE made for us to monitor pathways, hills and towpaths and TUE report when plants disappear. But Tom also learns about TUE clever new devices and scientific methods to help raise the TUE alarm, detect illegal sales and prove guilt in the absence TUE of a smoking trowel.

His outstanding WED features are the upper tail feathers which, longer than his WED entire body, extend into a train almost a metre in length, WED twisting like metallic ribbons as he flies through the tree WED canopy. Historically resplendent quetzals were considered WED sacred to the Mayans and Aztecs for their brilliant plumage, WED with the lavish crown of the Aztec ruler Moctezuma the WED Second, containing hundreds of individual quetzal tail - WED plumes.

Small WED denomination coins began to disappear because their metal WED was worth more than their face value. WED People hoarded them or melted them down. Paper notes WED replaced coins, but as cities produced their own money, WED there was also currency made from porcelain, linen, silk, WED leather, wood, coal, cotton and playing cards. WED He also focuses on the crisis of hyperinflation in the early WED 1920s. At its peak, prices doubled every three and a half WED days, and in 1923 a 500 million mark note might buy a loaf WED of bread. WED Producer Paul Kobrak.

WED WED 1986, New York - Jill and David embark upon an illicit WED affair. And as she travels home for Christmas Jill has a WED life changing decision to make. But inside her body, Hong WED Kong Flu is travelling with her. WED My Life with Flu has been produced in collaboration with the WED Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. In five episodes it follows WED the story of Jill across five decades as she struggles with WED the highs and lows of life, love and viruses. At the same WED time the story tracks the life of Hong Kong Flu - how, over WED 45 years, it has traversed the globe, evolved and is WED ultimately being superseded by new, more virulent strains, WED such as Swine Flu. WED The series uses cutting edge science - of transmission, WED viral evolution and genetic predisposition - to tell the WED story of flu, and investigate the unique qualities of Jill's WED genome which make her a 'severe responder'. Paul Kellam, WED Virus Genomics team leader at the Sanger Institute worked WED closely with writer Sarah Woods to weave the science WED seamlessly into the story. The drama underlines the deep WED connection human beings have to the viruses that survive WED through us, and how illness can shape the course of our WED lives.

WED WED The Listening Project is a Radio WED 4 initiative that offers a snapshot of contemporary Britain WED in which people across the UK volunteer to have a WED conversation with someone close to them about a subject WED they've never discussed intimately before. The conversations WED are being gathered across the UK by teams of producers from WED local and national radio stations who facilitate each WED encounter. Every conversation - they're not BBC interviews, WED and that's an important difference - lasts up to an hour, WED and is then edited to extract the key moment of connection WED between the participants. Most of the unedited conversations WED are being archived by the British Library and used to build WED up a collection of voices capturing a unique portrait of the WED UK in the second decade of the millennium. You can learn WED more about The Listening Project by visiting WED bbc.co.uk/listeningproject WED Producer: Marya Burgess. WED WED 11:00 The Move b04md4np (Listen) WED A Move into the Unknown WED WED In a brand new series aims to satisfy our fascination with WED moving, as Rosie Millard charts the progress of people WED across the UK as they take the plunge and look for a new WED home - whether out of necessity or just WED for a change. WED Whether contemplating a mansion or a shoe-box, all her WED subjects have one thing in common - it's a jump into the WED unknown, somewhere where there is no network of friends WED waiting for them, no family and no preconceptions. WED In the first programme we follow Hannah and John, cycling WED fanatics, who are hoping to buy a live/work space in a WED converted mill in the Yorkshire dales. It's a big step for WED them both as Hannah has always lived in the far South of WED England, and now contemplates a new life in the North, WED whilst John, Cumbrian born and bred has, like so many 30 WED somethings, still kept his room on at his parent's house. WED Most of the time he just lives out of a kit bag as he WED travels the world as a cycle guide, and he certainly never WED contemplated having a mortgage. WED Trudi, meanwhile, is facing eviction for the second time in WED two years, as her run-down flat in Islington has WED dramatically turned into prime London real estate. "There WED was a two bed flat across the road went on the market for WED £770,000. It was sold in a week!" WED The notice to quit has arrived, and as a wheelchair user WED she's facing life on the streets or in sheltered WED accommodation, something she's none too pleased to WED contemplate at the age of 55 - "It's like God's waiting WED room..." WED But as Rosie finds out, things don't always turn out for the WED worst, or the best, in the moving business. WED Producer: Sara Jane Hall. WED WED 11:30 Welcome to Our Village, Please Invade Carefully WED b04md4nr (Listen) WED Series 2, Questioning Loyalties WED WED 3/6 Questioning Loyalties. Field Commander Uljabaan's WED loyalty cards, rewarding villagers for their collaboration, WED are not only ruining Katrina's plans but also Richard's WED chances in the weekly pub quiz. They WED turn to Ron, the landlord of the Rose & Crown for help in WED scuppering the scheme. WED Welcome To Our Village, Please Invade Carefully is a sitcom WED about an alien race that have noticed that those all-at-once WED invasions of Earth never work out that well. So they've WED locked the small Buckinghamshire village of Cresdon Green WED behind an impenetrable force field in order to study human WED behaviour and decide if Earth is worth invading. WED The only inhabitant who seems to be bothered by their new WED alien overlord is Katrina Lyons, who was only home for the WED weekend to borrow the money for a deposit for a flat when WED the force field went up. So along with Lucy Alexander (the WED only teenager in the village, willing to rebel against WED whatever you've got) she forms The Resistance - slightly to WED the annoyance of her parents Margaret and Richard who wish WED she wouldn't make so much of a fuss, and much to the WED annoyance of Field Commander Uljabaan who, alongside his WED unintelligible minions and The Computer (his WED hyper-intelligent supercomputer), is trying to actually run WED the invasion.

In a unique WED partnership between the Imperial War Museums WED and the BBC, two sound archive collections featuring WED survivors of the war are brought together for the first WED time. The Imperial War Museums' holdings include a major WED oral history resource of remarkable recordings made in the WED 1980s and early 1990s with the remaining survivors of the WED conflict. The interviews were done not for immediate use or WED broadcast, but because it was felt that this diminishing WED resource that could never be replenished, would be of unique WED value in the future. Speakers recall in great detail as WED though it were yesterday the conditions of the trenches, the WED brutality of the battlefield, the experience of seeing their WED first casualty and hearing their first shell, their daily WED and nightly routines as soldiers, pilots or navy members of WED all ranks, and their psychological state in the face of so WED much trauma. This series will broadcast many of these WED recordings for the first time. Among the BBC's extensive WED collection of archive featuring first hand recollections of WED the conflict a century ago, are the interviews recorded for WED the 1964 TV series 'The Great War', which vividly bring to WED life the human experience of those fighting and living WED through the war. WED Dan Snow narrates this new oral history, which will be WED broadcast in short seasons throughout the commemorative WED period. WED Programme 3 - Outnumbered and Outgunned WED Dan Snow looks at the Great Retreat, when all armies marched WED long distances with little food or sleep in scorching heat. WED Those who took part in the almost 200 mile journey across WED Belgium and France recall what it was like.

THU THU Miranda Krestovnikoff presents the greater honeyguide of THU sub-Saharan Africa. A loud repetitive "it's - here" - "it's THU -here" is a sound the greater honey guide only makes to THU humans in an extraordinary co-operative act between humans THU and bird. Relatives of woodpeckers they are one of the few THU birds which can digest wax and also feed on the eggs, grubs THU and pupae of bees. A greater honeyguide knows the location THU of the bee colonies in its territory and is able to lead THU honey-hunters to them. Once it has successfully guided its THU helpers to a nest, it waits while the honey-hunters remove THU the comb. Then it moves in to snap up the grubs and wax from THU the opened nest. So reliable are honeyguides that the Boran THU people of East Africa save up to two thirds of their THU honey-searching time by using the bird's services and use a THU special loud whistle (called a fuulido) to summon their THU guide before a hunt.

In a unique THU partnership between the Imperial War Museums THU and the BBC, two sound archive collections featuring THU survivors of the war are brought together for the first THU time. The Imperial War Museums' holdings include a major THU oral history resource of remarkable recordings made in the THU 1980s and early 1990s with the remaining survivors of the THU conflict. The interviews were done not for immediate use or THU broadcast, but because it was felt that this diminishing THU resource that could never be replenished, would be of unique THU value in the future. Speakers recall in great detail as THU though it were yesterday the conditions of the trenches, the THU brutality of the battlefield, the experience of seeing their THU first casualty and hearing their first shell, their daily THU and nightly routines as soldiers, pilots or navy members of THU all ranks, and their psychological state in the face of so THU much trauma. This series will broadcast many of these THU recordings for the first time. Among the BBC's extensive THU collection of archive featuring first hand recollections of THU the conflict a century ago, are the interviews recorded for THU the 1964 TV series 'The Great War', which vividly bring to THU life the human experience of those fighting and living THU through the war. THU Dan Snow narrates this new oral history, which will be THU broadcast in short seasons throughout the commemorative THU period. THU Programme 4 - At Sea THU Dan Snow hears the extraordinary experiences of those who THU took part in and witnessed the battles of the British and THU German navies during the first few months of the war.

THU Elmley is the only National Nature Reserve in the UK to be THU managed by a farming family and this unique status is down THU to the forward thinking of farmer Philip Merricks. Bumping THU along the ridge of the reserve's sea wall in his trusty 4x4, THU Philip introduces Helen to this historic Kent landscape, THU accompanied by the flight of lapwing and wigeon. THU It's an area that is believed to have inspired Charles THU Dickens in the writing of 'Great Expectations' but as Helen THU discovers, it has also inspired an even bigger story of THU ground breaking conservation. THU During the 1980's, farmers were paid compensation for THU turning land over to wildlife but Philip felt that this was THU unproductive for both farmers and wildlife and so wrote - THU what he calls - a fairly strong letter to the House of THU Commons Select Committee that had been tasked with finding a THU solution to what was becoming a rural battle ground. THU Remarkably, Philip's letter found its way into Parliament THU and his ideas were held up as a potential way forward. THU Thirty years on Philip's enthusiasm and dedication to this THU one of a kind nature reserve is as strong as it ever and now THU - with the support and care of long standing farm manger THU Steve Gorden - Philip's daughter Georgina and son-in-law THU Gareth are moving forward with sharing this special place THU with visitors and encouraging that passion for farming and THU conservation that Philip began decades ago.

But THU fundamental questions remain about our only natural THU satellite. THU THU Where does the Moon come THU from? THU Although humans first walked on the Moon over four decades THU ago, we still know surprisingly little about the lunar THU body's origin. Samples returned by the Apollo missions have THU somewhat confounded scientists' ideas about how the Moon was THU formed. Its presence is thought to be due to another planet THU colliding with the early Earth, causing an extraordinary THU giant impact, and in the process, forming the Moon. But, THU analysing chemicals in Apollo's rock samples has revealed THU that the Moon could be much more similar to Earth itself THU than any potential impactor. Geochemist Professor Alex THU Halliday of the University of Oxford, and Dr Jeff THU Andrews-Hanna, Colorado School of Mines - who is analysing THU the results from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Interior THU Laboratory (GRAIL) lunar mission - discuss the theories and THU evidence to-date. THU Are we going back? THU Settling the question of the Moon's origin seems likely to THU require more data - which, in turn, requires more missions. THU BBC Science correspondent Jonathan Amos tells us about the THU rationale and future prospects for a return to the Moon, THU including the Google Lunar XPrize. THU As the Moon's commercial prospects are considered, who THU controls conservation of our only natural satellite?

In a unique FRI partnership between the Imperial War Museums FRI and the BBC, two sound archive collections featuring FRI survivors of the war are brought together for the first FRI time. The Imperial War Museums' holdings include a major FRI oral history resource of remarkable recordings made in the FRI 1980s and early 1990s with the remaining survivors of the FRI conflict. The interviews were done not for immediate use or FRI broadcast, but because it was felt that this diminishing FRI resource that could never be replenished, would be of unique FRI value in the future. Speakers recall in great detail as FRI though it were yesterday the conditions of the trenches, the FRI brutality of the battlefield, the experience of seeing their FRI first casualty and hearing their first shell, their daily FRI and nightly routines as soldiers, pilots or navy members of FRI all ranks, and their psychological state in the face of so FRI much trauma. This series will broadcast many of these FRI recordings for the first time. Among the BBC's extensive FRI collection of archive featuring first hand recollections of FRI the conflict a century ago, are the interviews recorded for FRI the 1964 TV series 'The Great War', which vividly bring to FRI life the human experience of those fighting and living FRI through the war. FRI Dan Snow narrates this new oral history, which will be FRI broadcast in short seasons throughout the commemorative FRI period. FRI Programme 5 - By Night FRI Dan Snow looks at soldiers' experiences at night on the FRI battlefields of the Western Front during the early stages FRI war, when they had to be more alert than during the day.
