This is a conversational history that focuses SAT on the people who were there and the atmosphere within the SAT BBC and the wider comedy world that allowed them to make SAT great radio - or not. SAT SAT This third edition features Hugh Dennis and Jim Eldridge SAT looking at radio comedy in the late 1980s. Hugh first SAT appeared on radio in this period, with shows like The SAT Cabaret Upstairs and Live on Arrival, breaking through with SAT Radio One's Hey Rrrradio! and the Mary Whitehouse SAT Experience. Jim came to radio via poetry, having performed SAT on the John Peel show, but made his name as a sitcom writer SAT in the 70s, having a hit with Parsley Sidings. And in 1985 SAT he launched King Street Junior, a sitcom that was to run for SAT twenty years.

SAT That is the land of lost content, SAT I see it shining SAT plain, SAT The happy highways where I went SAT And cannot come again." SAT SAT So wrote the poet AE Housman lamenting the loss of his SAT brother in the Boer war in his epic poem A Shropshire Lad. SAT It harks back to a simple idyllic rural way of life that is SAT forever changed at the end of the nineteenth century as SAT hundreds of country boys go off to fight and never return. SAT George Butterworth adapted his words to music in 1913 just SAT before the outbreak of the Great War. This edition of Soul SAT Music hears from those whose lives continue to be touched by SAT the loss of so many young men between 1914 and 1918. SAT Broadcaster Sybil Ruscoe recalls visiting her Great Uncle's SAT grave in a military cemetery in France with Butterworth's SAT Rhapsody as the soundtrack to her journey. A concert at SAT Bromsgrove School in Worcestershire where Housman was a SAT pupil remembers the former schoolboys killed in action, and SAT singer Steve Knightley discusses and performs his adaptation SAT of The Lads In Their Hundreds as part of the centenary SAT commemorations. The Bishop of Woolwich connects his love of SAT the countryside and Butterworth's music with his father's SAT battered copy of Housman's poems which comforted him while SAT held captive in Singapore during the Second World War.

SAT Benedict Cumberbatch plays the WWII cryptographer and SAT code-breaker Alan Turing in The Imitation Game. Also SAT starring Kiera Knightley, it tells the tale of the team of SAT British maths geniuses who cracked the Nazi's Enigma Code - SAT how successfully does it breathe new life into the biography SAT of a private and secretive man? SAT Roy Williams' new play Wildefire, directed by Maria Aberg, SAT opens at London's Hampstead Theatre. It deals with 'the SAT precarious world of modern policing'.

Young women SAT and teenage girls typically have to be satisfied with walk SAT on parts as the love interest for the main male SAT protagonists, or as passive consumers of pop culture, or as SAT possible victims of the latest media scare story. Teenage SAT boys who become part of subcultures - whether mods, teddy SAT boys, rockers or ravers - have had a very visible presence SAT both in the streets and on the front pages; by comparison SAT girls have remained largely unseen and unheard. Now, SAT however, the internet has created a revolution in the place SAT of young women in our culture, granting millions of them the SAT chance to represent themselves to the world in all sorts of SAT ways that Ruby Tandoh argues are both tremendously exciting SAT and profoundly empowering. She'll look back at the SAT development of the place of girls in youth culture over the SAT decades, examining the importance of the private space of SAT the bedroom in providing a crucible in which identities are SAT actively formed, and find out about those young women in SAT movements like punk and Riot Grrrl who blazed a trail for SAT today's girls as they take the reins of cultural production SAT through their vlogs, blogs and zines. Most importantly Ruby SAT will meet some of those at the forefront of the current SAT revolution describing the success of their various online SAT projects, whether in fashion, photography, literature, SAT lifestyle or politics - and talk with ordinary girls to hear SAT first hand accounts of lives lived as young women today. SAT SAT NB SAT Interviewees include Fabiola Ching, 17 year old editor at SAT Coalition zine; Gabi from GabiFresh.com; Eleanor Hardwick, SAT staff photographer at Rookie Mag; sixth form girls at a SAT Coventry school; Pauline Black, lead singer of The Selecter, SAT and former Riot Grrrl Olivia Laing.

SAT SAT White's imagining of Arthur's childhood in The Sword in The SAT Stone, his use of myth to deliver a powerful anti-war SAT message and the humanity of his depiction of doomed love SAT marks this cycle of novels as one of the defining works of SAT 20th century fantasy fiction.

SAT SAT 22:15 Moral Maze b04nv97d (Listen) SAT Loyalty SAT SAT The rumours swirling around Ed Miliband's future have an SAT unmistakeably Shakespearian character about them. The lean SAT and hungry look on the faces of some back benchers may be SAT ambition or just simple fear. SAT Miliband supporters have been taking to the air to defend SAT their leader and everyone is consulting the oracle to try SAT and divine who might play the part of Brutus. This is the SAT stuff of politics of course, but as Shakespeare knew, at its SAT heart is a profound moral question about the nature and SAT limits of loyalty. When is loyalty a virtue and when does it SAT become a vice? Friendships are among the most profound SAT expressions of our humanity and it's hard to imagine them SAT flourishing without loyalty. Many of us, not just the SAT politicians, will know the pain of betrayal. But loyalty is SAT a powerful strand in many other relationships: families SAT expect it and, mostly, we're happy with that. Organizations SAT often demand it, but the regular rows over whistle-blowers SAT in institutions like the NHS demonstrate the moral lines SAT between standing up for your principles and being disloyal SAT to your colleagues aren't clearly drawn. Countries do what SAT they can to foster it, but how many of us would today claim SAT to have the same loyalty to Queen and country that lead so SAT many to volunteer in the First World War? Are we a less SAT loyal society today? Does the collapse in membership of SAT political parties, trades unions and organised religion SAT indicate a society that's less willing to pledge loyalty to SAT an idea or a belief? In an age of zero hours contracts, SAT diminishing pensions and portfolio working does the idea of SAT being loyal to your employer sound hopelessly outdated? Or SAT have our loyalties just shifted and we now have a more SAT nuanced, informed and healthy perspective and what and who SAT deserves our loyalty? Moral Maze - Presented by David SAT Aaronovitch.

It's where the 7th Armoured Brigade - the Desert SAT Rats - are based and where they SAT returned this Spring after Operation Herrick 19, their final SAT tour of duty in Afghanistan. SAT SAT Here he talked to a range of soldiers, and back in England SAT he also talked to the mother of a soldier who had been SAT killed on duty in Helmand. He has used these conversations SAT as the basis for a series of new poems reflecting on what it SAT is like for British soldiers to come home after their long SAT and dangerous campaign in Afghanistan. The poems explore the SAT particular nature of the Afghan conflict, while showing SAT certain continuities that flow from wars through the SAT generations. SAT SAT In this programme, the interviews and poems are set side by SAT side, creating a unique poetry event by Andrew Motion to SAT mark Remembrance Day 2014.

SUN SUN 00:30 Hitch-Hiker's Guide to Europe b01ml0j9 (Listen) SUN How to Survive SUN SUN Read by Mark Little. SUN SUN The Hitch-hiker's Guide to Europe was the book most often SUN stolen from British libraries in the 1970s. Mark Little SUN reads from the young travellers' bible that nestled in every SUN student SUN rucksack forty years ago as they set off to explore Europe SUN on £10 a week. Australian Ken Welsh was the hitcher who SUN inspired thousands to follow "the infinite miles of tarmac SUN and pot-holes which criss-cross the world, the magic ribbon SUN which can lead to a thousand other worlds." SUN SUN With a great deal of humour, some common sense and a spirit SUN of recklessness lost to today's youngsters, Welsh's book SUN covered everything from How To Hitch ("Providing a driver SUN isn't obviously bombed out of his mind, my rule is to take SUN any car that stops which has its bonnet pointed even vaguely SUN in the direction I want to go...") to tips on How To Survive SUN ("If you make the mistake of getting in with a fast driver SUN who won't stop, make sounds which suggest you're about to SUN throw up all over his upholstery...") SUN SUN Re-reading it forty years on it's surprising what a SUN different world it was then for the young traveller. There SUN seemed to be more trust around (hitch-hikers are a rarity SUN nowadays), and no real worries about roughing it far from SUN home without the comfort of a mobile phone and by relying on SUN the black markets, pawn shops or even blood banks when cash SUN machines were simply not an option.

Now Samira returns to Durham to explore the SUN connection that she, and so many others, feel with the SUN Cathedral. SUN SUN 'Grey towers of Durham SUN Yet well I love thy mixed and massive piles SUN Half church of God, half castle 'gainst the Scot SUN And long to roam those venerable aisles SUN With records stored of deeds long since forgot.' Sir Walter SUN Scott, Harold the Dauntless SUN SUN Durham Cathedral is the shrine of St Cuthbert, the seat of SUN the Bishop of Durham and a focus of pilgrimage and SUN spirituality in North East England. SUN SUN What is the source of its power to move, not only SUN Christians, but those of others faiths or none? Is it the SUN sanctity of the shrine of St Cuthbert? Is it its spectacular SUN architecture? Is it the unique positioning in the natural SUN and human landscape (now a world heritage site)? Or is it SUN the echoes of centuries of history as a fortress, a seat of SUN learning and a sacred space? SUN SUN Through words, art and music and by speaking to those SUN intimately connected to the Cathedral, Samira Ahmed creates SUN a vivid portrait of Durham Cathedral through the centuries. SUN She explores how it has reflected Durham's changing SUN communities and balances the preservation of ancient SUN traditions with the celebration of contemporary SUN Christianity, art and music. SUN SUN The programme includes poems by Thomas Hardy, L.E.L and John SUN Ormond and extracts from Pat Barker.

The SUN Peak District has 100s of miles of them and many different SUN species of spider, from web builders to fast hunters, live SUN there. Wolf spiders race after SUN their prey on long, powerful legs. Jumping spiders leap from SUN a hiding place. The tiny money spiders build webs like SUN hammocks for prey to fall into and lace weaving spiders SUN construct mats of web with recoiling strands that drag the SUN prey to the spider. The limestone walls of the White Peak SUN are not only a beautiful feature of this part of the SUN National Park, they were built with great skill and patience SUN by generations of skilled workmen. Mary Colwell meets Sarah SUN Henshall, lead ecologist with Buglife and Simon Nicholas, SUN the local Ranger for the National Trust, to discover the 350 SUN million year old limestone that forms the walls and search SUN for the mini beasts that live in their depths. SUN SUN Dr Sarah Henshall SUN Dr Sarah Henshall is Lead Ecologist for SUN Buglife SUN - The Invertebrate Conservation Trust. Sarah leads on a SUN broad range of invertebrate species research and habitat SUN projects, passionately promoting invertebrates and their SUN conservation through policy, campaign and advocacy work. SUN This passion stems from a childhood growing up in the Peak SUN District, a fascination with the natural world and creepy SUN crawlies coupled with many years of conservation SUN volunteering and amateur bug hunting. Following her PhD. in SUN invertebrate ecology Sarah now specialises in beetles and SUN spiders. SUN At Buglife, Sarah works to push invertebrates up the SUN conservation agenda. There are 40,000 invertebrate species SUN in Britain compared to less than 400 birds and mammals and SUN her dream is to see invertebrates spark the same interest SUN and attention as these vertebrates.

SUN In later years the partnership reversed as black Baptists SUN travelled to the UK to found what are now some of Britain's SUN biggest churches. Leader: Pastor Patrick Adetuwo.

SUN SUN Chris Packham presents the Indian cuckoo found across much SUN of South East Asia. A bird singing "crossword puzzle" - SUN "crossword puzzle" over the woods is an Indian Cuckoo, a shy SUN and slender bird, grey above and barred black and white SUN below. These features are similar to those of a small hawk SUN and when a cuckoo flies across a woodland glade, it's often SUN mobbed by other birds. They're right to sense danger. Indian SUN cuckoos are brood parasites and the females lay their eggs SUN in the nests of other species including drongos, magpies and SUN shrikes. The Indian cuckoo's song is well-known in the SUN Indian sub-Continent and has been interpreted in different SUN ways. As well as "crossword puzzle " some think it's saying SUN "one more bottle" or "orange pekoe". And in the Kangra SUN valley in northern India, the call is said to be the soul of SUN a dead shepherd asking "... where is my sheep? Where is my SUN sheep?".

SUN Born in Guyana he arrived here in the mid-1970's already SUN playing with words like some people play with musical notes. SUN If his style is often satirical, his subjects provide SUN wincing realism - examining the scars of slavery or the SUN historical myopia of a shared past judged solely through SUN European eyes. SUN SUN He says he believes that 'the poet keeps us in touch with SUN the vulnerable core of language that makes us what we are.' SUN SUN Producer: Cathy Drysdale.

SUN SUN 14:00 Gardeners' Question Time b04nvkjx (Listen) SUN Postbag from Sparsholt SUN SUN Eric Robson is in the Potting Shed at Sparsholt College for SUN a correspondence edition of the horticultural panel SUN programme. SUN SUN Chris Beardshaw, Pippa Greenwood, Christine Walkden and SUN Rosie Yeomans answer questions SUN sent in by post, online and via social media. SUN SUN Produced by Howard Shannon. SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN Q&A SUN SUN 1.Q. Following past suggestions from the panel not to walk SUN on garden beds when the ground is wet so as to avoid SUN compacting the earth, I've put planks down. However, I find SUN these provide cover for moles and slugs. Can the panel SUN suggest a better way of accessing an entire plot? SUN SUN A. Only put the planks down when you're using them. Lift SUN them up when you're not using them. Or you could put a bark SUN path down. Even stepping-stones could work. SUN SUN 2. Q. I've been growing a grafted, hybrid Wisteria - SUN Lavender Lace, in a concrete container planted in John Innes SUN number 3 and training it up the south-east facing front of SUN my house for about 18 months. Midway through the summer, the SUN leaves started turning brown and new shoots died. I've SUN increased watering and feeding which helped, but some of the SUN old leaves are looking bad again. The garden is cemented SUN over so planting it in the ground is not an option. What SUN would the panel recommend? SUN SUN A. Wisteria likes a good root run, so it won't be happy in a SUN container. Try to curtail the growth by pruning it hard. SUN This will keep it to a size proportional to the container. SUN Limit the total upward growth to a single stem and then SUN train horizontally to about two meters of length. Put in a SUN timed irrigation system. SUN SUN 3.Q. I work in an office six meters square with no windows SUN and air conditioning. What potted plants could I grow to put SUN a bit of colour into my life? SUN SUN A. Install some lighting that mimics natural light. LED SUN lights are an option. Start with Spider Plants, Kalanchoes, SUN Fatshederas and the Monstera Deliciosa (Swiss Cheese plant). SUN SUN 4.Q. I'd like to grow a show-stopper of a climbing rose up a SUN south-facing wall in a large pot. What would the panel SUN recommend? SUN SUN A. Go for a handful of roses. Try 'May Gold', 'Madame Alfred SUN Caraway', 'Paul's Scarlet', 'Paul's Himalayan Musk'. The SUN bigger the container the better. Look through catalogues SUN now, as you want to get the roses in while they are dormant. SUN SUN 5.Q. Vine weevils are plaguing my Heucheras and the roots SUN are disappearing. What's going on? SUN SUN A. The vine weevils are eating them. Use nematodes to get SUN rid of them. Make a moat around the plants to prevent the SUN weevils getting to them. SUN SUN 6.Q. I'd like to plant a bed of red flowers to celebrate a SUN ruby wedding anniversary. The bed gets a fair amount of sun SUN and has good soil. SUN SUN A. Try early-flowering Chrysanthemums - Schizanthus or SUN Hesperantha. Try Roses, 'Ingrid Bergan' and 'Ruby Wedding'. SUN Hebes would be good, try 'Ruby Mound'. Try Gladioli. Get a SUN Clematis, 'Rebecca' is a lovely one. SUN SUN 7. Q. We have a bamboo planted within a black plastic water SUN tank in the ground. We want thicker stems, how can we get SUN them? SUN SUN A. Water and feed it more, but the bamboo won't grow much SUN more because of the way you've restricted its growth. SUN SUN 8. I've planted some Sunflower Seeds and Sweet Peas in my SUN greenhouse, they've started growing already. How can I SUN protect them from the winter cold? SUN A. Get them outside into a cold frame or a greenhouse, or SUN put them in a bright windowsill. They need to be kept cool SUN but make sure they get plenty of light. SUN SUN 9. When I had raised beds built eighteen months ago, they SUN were filled with spent mushroom compost. The level has SUN dropped and I want to add something. Should I go for more of SUN the same or good quality topsoil? SUN SUN A. Go for good-quality topsoil or loam. Mix mineral bulk SUN with organic matter to avoid this kind of reduction. SUN SUN 10. Q. How can we restrict the growth of our Corylus SUN Avellana (Hazel Nut) tree? SUN SUN A. Coppice the tree. Raise the crown to prevent the tree SUN from hindering the growth of the surrounding plants. SUN SUN 11. Q. Can the panel suggest any plants that can be spun SUN into a yarn? SUN A. Nettles can be used. Sisal and Phormium could also be SUN used to make rope. Cabbage Palms are also a possibility.

SUN SUN The SUN 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.

His name SUN was William Barnes. Scrape a finger across Hardy's Dorset SUN and you'll find Barnes' underneath. Daljit Nagra goes in SUN search of Hardy's friend, forebear SUN and inspiration. SUN SUN William Barnes was fascinated by language and the dialect SUN used by the people around him. But today he's been all but SUN forgotten. Barnes inspired Hardy, Larkin, and Hopkins yet SUN Britain has never taken him to its heart. Barnes was SUN fascinated by language, obsessed even. He was a polymath. He SUN believed in Pure English and wanted to distil words to their SUN Anglo -Saxon origins; 'photograph' for instance, becomes, SUN 'sun-print'. Curious then that while his poetry is thick SUN with dialect, Barnes spent most of his life teaching English SUN in its conventional form, as a curate and a school master. SUN SUN A former Poet Laureate, a young teacher from Barnes' SUN Blackmore Vale, and a dialect poet from the Black Country SUN reflect on the curious verse of 'the other' Dorset poet.

SUN Although some Muslim parents objected, most seemed happy to SUN go along with rigorous gender segregation, the rejection of SUN sex education and ban on music and arts lessons. SUN Why is it that so many British Muslims - especially from SUN Pakistani and Bangladeshi backgrounds - seem to be SUN converging much more slowly, if at all, on liberal British SUN norms? Is this a problem in a liberal society and what are SUN the future trends likely to be? SUN David Goodhart, of the think tank Demos, visits Leicester in SUN search of some answers.

MON MON Chris Packham presents the Arabian babbler of a Yemeni MON Desert. Arabian babblers could almost be described as MON feathered meerkats. They're sociable, charismatic and always MON on the alert. These energetic and curious birds are found MON around the Arabian peninsula and in Egypt, often in dry MON scrubby places. They have long tails, curved bills and a MON bounding gait, and their sandy plumage is superb camouflage MON against the parched ground where they roam in search of MON insects and seeds. If on their travels, a group of babblers MON discovers a snake they will mob it with loud shrieks, MON raising their wings and calling to each other until they see MON it off. Arabian babblers don't use their social skills just MON to chase away predators. They spend all their time in groups MON of usually four to six adult birds and in these groups their MON relationships are fluid. They are also co-operative breeders MON and help each other to rear their chicks, a communal way of MON life that helps to forge bonds between these very vocal MON birds.

Sara Parker looks at what this MON powerful but tiny metal tool means to us at home and at work MON - in times of sadness and of joy. MON MON The needle gives women the capacity to clothe their family MON or start a business. For the prisoner, embroidering a MON cushion in his cell provides both a way to earn a living and MON also a link with the outside world. To the mother who lost MON her son in Afghanistan, it offers a way for her family to MON come to terms with their grief through teddy bears made from MON his uniform. While for the World War One soldier, who MON learned to sew recuperating from injuries sustained in the MON Battle of the Somme, it gave a profession as a tailor. MON MON As many of us lose the practical skills which our MON grandparents and parents took for granted, there is a MON revival of interest in all kinds of sewing. Some make quilts MON or cushions for those in need of comfort or for charity. MON Others want to sew for themselves - such as the 60-year old MON Blues musician determined to learn how to stitch his own MON unique waistcoat, or the teenager's act of defiance making a MON denim quilt after her mother forbade her to wear jeans. MON MON New technology matches the increasing sophistication of MON sewing machines - such as the QR code cross-stitched into MON the margin of a quilt linking to the maker's blog, or shared MON online tutorials. While a sinister story from the National MON Archives in Kew reveals how Porton Down wanted to develop MON the sewing needle as a poison dart at the end of World War MON Two.

MON MON Seen as a national treasure in the States, MON Homer first rose to fame with his powerful depictions of the MON civil war, and by the late 1870s he was America's MON pre-eminent watercolourist. Yet in 1881, this enigmatic and MON secretive artist travelled first to London then north to MON Cullercoats, in search of 'atmosphere and colour.' MON MON Michael visits the Watch House and talks to local art MON historian Steve Radcliffe, who describes the harsh life of MON the fisherfolk that so fascinated him, then walks the MON beautiful bay with Susan Johnson, granddaughter of Homer's MON favourite muse, fishergirl Maggie Storey. MON MON American author Helen Cooper, says that Homer's decision to MON stay on after the summer season into the wild winter MON weather, inspired him to paint the raw nature of the sea. MON Homer soon came to feel at home amongst the fisherfolk of MON Cullercoats, donning a fisherman's gansey and playing MON billiards in the pub, and this change of character also MON signified a turning point in his career, as art historian MON David Tatham explains. MON MON On his return to the States Homer continued to paint MON Cullercoats and soon left New York for Prout's Neck in MON Maine, where he spent the rest of his life painting the wild MON Atlantic. Karen Sherry of the Portland Museum of Art, feels MON his time in Cullercoats raised his art from keen MON observations of American life to masterful portrayals of MON universal themes. MON MON Jonathon Barrand, Cullercoats resident and tourism officer MON who runs arts heritage tours, shares his pride and pleasure MON in seeing the name of his little village besides Homer's MON work in the great galleries of America.

Former Director of Public MON Prosecutions Keir Starmer QC explores the relationship MON between justice and the passing of time. MON MON To some extent, justice always comes after the event. Some MON crimes have statutes of limitations - a time limit that MON expires. Other serious crimes - such as murder, war crimes MON and crimes against humanity - do not. MON MON The more serious the scale of criminality, the less time MON limitations become a factor, with the most serious MON categories of crime eschewing an expiry date for justice MON altogether. But the passage of time doesn't necessarily heal MON wounds - it can exacerbate them. Is there a point where a MON crime is so far in the past that a line must be drawn - MON victims must let go (not least for the sake of fair trial) MON and society move on? Or are some wrongs so serious that MON there should be no time limit to justice at all? In which MON case, is there a danger that justice becomes fixated on the MON past - a force only for resentment and retribution? MON MON Keir Starmer draws together legal, moral and philosophical MON discussion with a cast of contributors including the MON philosopher Michael Sandel and Eli Rosenbaum, described by MON one historian as 'the world's most successful Nazi hunter'. MON MON Produced by Simon Hollis MON A Brook Lapping production for BBC Radio 4. MON MON 20:30 Analysis b04p7ygh (Listen) MON Precedents or Principles? MON MON We firmly believe that our choices - about what we eat and MON how we vote - reflect the inner core of our being. But do MON those choices originate in principle - or simply because of MON what we have done in the past? MON Psychologist Nick Chater asks if precedent matters more than MON principles and discovers a complex interplay between the two MON forces which govern the choices we make. MON Producer: Simon Coates. MON MON 21:00 Shared Planet b04nrw23 (Listen) MON Blue Whales - When Giants Collide MON MON Blue whales are increasingly being hit by ships, especially MON off the coast of California. As whale numbers recover from MON hunting and the number of ships that ply the oceans MON increases this is a growing problem. MON What can be done? Monty Don explores this little known MON threat to whales, a threat that is found in all oceans all MON over the world and effects most species of whale. It seems MON that the welcome news that whale numbers are slowly rising MON is being countered by concern over ship strikes, most of MON which are fatal. A simple solution is to slow the speed of MON ships down to around 10 knots, but this has financial MON implications for the shipping industry, so a balance has to MON be struck. Technology could help, but it is expensive, not MON reliable in choppy seas and in the case of sonar could fill MON the ocean with more noise. How can we share the oceans with MON giants and still move 90% of traded goods by boat?

They look very different to their relatives the TUE puffins or guillemots. They're dark grey-ish brown birds, TUE and in the breeding season both male and female have flowing TUE white plumes above their eyes and behind their orange bills. TUE It is the white vertical plate at the base of its bill which TUE has inspired the birds' common names of "horn-billed TUE puffins" or "unicorn puffins".

TUE TUE With the help of leading academic writers, commentators and TUE thinkers, Linda Colley explores what a future union might TUE look like and how the constituent nations of a still United TUE Kingdom will seek to govern themselves.

TUE TUE As the son of Jamaican immigrants who came to the UK in the TUE 1960s, Clive has a TUE personal interest in this topic. Clive lived abroad as a TUE foreign correspondent for almost 15 years, returning once or TUE twice a year to see his family. After 2004 he noticed how TUE much the UK was changing: the EU had expanded, Polish people TUE were settling here in large numbers and the transformation TUE came as a shock. TUE TUE In the first programme he spoke to Alp Mehmet, Vice-Chair of TUE Migration Watch. Then he met Sylvia Emenike who came to the TUE UK from Jamaica in the 1950s and explored her experience of TUE seeing other immigrant communities settling in the UK. In TUE this, his third and final interview, he speaks to Mike TUE Nowak, a Pole who lived for many years in Britain, but who TUE has now returned home to Warsaw. TUE TUE Mike came to England long before the 2004 enlargement of the TUE European Union, so witnessed the increase in Polish TUE immigration for himself. Suddenly he was able to speak in TUE his mother-tongue all day, every day, and witnessed Polish TUE shops and businesses starting up around him. TUE TUE Recently he made the decision to return to Warsaw. Clive TUE asks what changes Mike has seen back in Poland since he TUE first left, and finds out where Polish opinion stands on TUE further EU immigration.

TUE TUE 11:30 Soul Music b04p845x (Listen) TUE Series 19, Plaisir d'Amour/Can't Help Falling in Love with TUE You TUE TUE In this week's Soul Music Marianne Faithfull recalls the TUE French Love song which went on to inspire Elvis's 60's hit, TUE 'I Can't Help Falling in Love with You'. TUE TUE 'Plaisir d'Amour' is the classical French love song TUE which somehow found its way through 18th century TUE orchestration (Hector Berlioz) and 1960's folk revival, to TUE an unexpected re-invention into the Elvis hit 'I Can't' Help TUE Falling in Love with You'. TUE TUE It's been recorded by Marianne Faithfull and busked on the TUE streets of Paris by 'The Gruffalo' author Julia Donaldson. TUE It has also touched the lives of former American Military TUE Academy Freshman Andrew Scott and recently married couple TUE Henry (76) and Christine Wallace (82) who fell in love on a TUE moonlit New Year's Eve. TUE TUE Written in 1784 by Jean-Paul-Égide Martini, Plaisir d'Amour TUE muses on the pleasures and pains of love and was inspired by TUE a poem which appears in Jean-Pierre Claris de Florian's TUE novel 'Célestine'. TUE TUE For 17 year old Marianne Faithfull it was a song of TUE innocence, recorded in a tiny booth in the old Decca studios TUE whilst happily pregnant with her first child. Meanwhile, TUE author Julia Donaldson and husband Malcolm busked it on the TUE streets of Paris. It was the summer of 1969 and police hid TUE in alleyways, still fearful of students following the 1968 TUE riots. TUE TUE As the classical French melody was adopted by Elvis and TUE transformed into 'I Can't Help Falling in Love with You', TUE West Point Military Academy Freshman Andrew Scott learnt to TUE pick it's tune on guitar. It's a song that went on to win TUE the heart of his wife of now 20 years. For Henry and TUE Christine Wallace, it summed everything up "It was what I TUE was looking for, someone to share my life and the words TUE 'take my whole life too was in tune with what I wanted'.

WED WED 11:00 Seven Round a Cauldron b04k2lqv (Listen) WED The names might not mean much now, but they could be Olympic WED champions in years to come: Peter White meets the seven WED youngsters nominated by sporting legends to light the 2012 WED cauldron WED WED The choice of the seven WED was a closely guarded secret and a revelation which WED surprised everyone, not least the bookmakers. In keeping WED with London's hope of "inspiring a generation," Sir Steve WED Redgrave handed the Olympic torch to the youngsters - with WED the world watching on. Little is known about them and in WED this programme Peter joins Katie, Callum, Jordan, Desiree, WED Cameron, Aidan and Adelle. Since the Olympics some have gone WED on to achieve in their given sports, even qualifying for the WED Commonwealth Games and other international meets. For others WED the period has been spent adjusting to new lives at WED University and coping with the practical and emotional WED pressures of living away from home. WED WED Scottish sailing star Callum Airlie actually had his 17th WED birthday on the day of the 2012 opening ceremony. All seven WED youngsters had been nominated by previous British Olympic WED medal winners, and Callum had been selected by fellow Scot WED and sailor Shirley Robertson, a double Olympic gold WED medallist. WED The teenager said: "We got a call from Shirley. A double WED gold medallist phoning my dad was quite a big thing. It set WED alarm bells ringing, and although she didn't say why I was WED invited to the opening, she was adamant I should not miss WED this. WED WED "The whole thing was part of what they called 'Save the WED Surprise'. Only my mum knew. WED "She couldn't tell Dad, though, and my brothers didn't have WED a clue. It was a huge secret to keep. In the end, I chose WED not to phone people. I didn't trust myself not to say WED anything. WED WED "I just sent everybody a text telling them they should WED definitely watch it and that they probably wouldn't miss WED me." WED WED Mystery had surrounded who would perform the ceremonial WED event and sports legends including Sir Steve Redgrave, Sir WED Roger Bannister and Daley Thompson had all been among the WED favourites for the prestigious role. Athlete Katie Kirk WED found her legs shaking uncontrollably as she waited for Sir WED Steve Redgrave to come into the stadium with the torch: "We WED were all just so excited. I could not wait to get out there WED - the crowd out there was massive," Katie was nominated by WED Northern Ireland gold medallist and Olympic ambassador, Dame WED Mary Peters and feels the experience has motivated others WED and helped inspire her - so much so that this summer she WED qualified for the Commonwealth Games.

WED 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 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 hyperintelligent supercomputer), is trying to actually run WED the invasion.

WED WED 21:00 Holding Back the Sea b04pbmk1 (Listen) WED On December 5th last year, thousands of homes and businesses WED along Britain's east coast were flooded by the sea when the WED first of that winter's great storms combined with a WED particularly high tide. WED WED Close to year WED on, BBC News Science Editor David Shukman travels around the WED Lincolnshire and Norfolk coast of the Wash, talking to WED residents, farmers and business owners about the problems of WED protecting their lives and livelihoods from future WED inundations by the sea. WED WED The port town of Boston was one of the worst hit communities WED last December. The surge poured over its defences into 700 WED houses. Some families are only now returning to their ruined WED homes. Fortunately for Boston, the government has agreed to WED pay some £90 million to build a barrier across the tidal WED river which flows through the town. Some locals say this WED flood defence should have been in place years ago. WED WED Elsewhere in Lincolnshire, communities are feeling less well WED shielded by the nation. North of Boston, at Friskney, a WED breach in a frontline sea bank let in a tsunami of seawater WED which flooded 500 acres of prime arable farmland to a depth WED of 1 metre. Around the Wash, thousands of square kilometres WED of Fenland farmland and rural communities lie at or below WED sea level behind soil embankments facing the sea. These WED walls were built by farmers as they claimed the country's WED most productive arable land from the Wash's salt marsh. WED WED After the inundation at Friskney, farmers all around the WED Wash are now campaigning to be allowed to raise the height WED and width of their frontline banks. If they are granted WED permission, they will receive at best only a modest WED percentage contribution from central government. The WED Treasury will only fully fund flood defence work if the WED return on the money it puts up is £8 for every £1 spent. The WED farmers argue that the economic value and food security WED importance of what they produce is not taken into account in WED the calculations. WED WED Alternatively, conservation organisations such as the RSPB WED argue that rather than bolstering defences, sections of WED these embankments should be deliberately breached to allow WED Wash salt marsh to expand. As sea level rises, more WED embankments will become more vulnerable. A managed retreat WED of the defences would do two important things, they argue. WED It would provide more habitat for the many thousands of WED wintering birds which make the Wash one of most important WED wildlife areas in Europe. The extra expanse of salt marsh WED created would also make a natural flood defence, better WED protecting the new bank further inland. Not surprisingly the WED farmers of the Wash Frontage are not sold on this idea. WED WED On the east coast of the Wash in Norfolk, the people living WED and running businesses in the shoreline communities south of WED Hunstanton are faced with their own pressing threats. Their WED defences were breached in several places last December and WED in 1953, the great tidal surge of that year drowned dozens WED of people in the area. WED WED The funds to maintain their shingle sea wall run out in WED early 2016. They have been told by the Environment Agency WED that the only means to finance this work and any future WED upgrading after 2016 is to pay for most of it themselves. If WED enough caravan park owners, landowners and residents are WED able to amass a viable fund voluntarily, the government will WED then top up the money available by 25%. A group of local WED businesses is now in the process of setting up a body to WED collect and pay out the money - a body called a Community WED Interest Company. It will be the first of its kind WED established for local flood defence. Needless to say, some WED in the neighbourhood regard this as an inappropriate and WED fragile arrangement by which to protect lives and WED livelihoods from the sea.

Every spring, across the land from Chicago to St THU Louis, you can hear couples squabbling over the best real THU estate. But these aren't human house-buyers, they're purple THU martins. Purple Martins are the largest North American THU swallow, glossy blue-black rather than purple and much THU chunkier than the well-known barn swallow. They spend the THU winter in insect-rich places in South America and return to THU their North American breeding colonies each spring. In the THU west, they nest in holes in trees or even in giant saguaro THU cacti, but in the east where they're much more common, they THU almost exclusively rely on people to provide them with THU nest-sites. Visit almost any city, town or homestead and THU you'll see multi-story nest-boxes, the home of a score of THU purple martin families. Around 1 million people are thought THU to erect housing each year. Their human landlords take a THU personal pride in their martin colonies, listening each THU spring for those first pebbly calls which are a sign that THU their protégés have made it back from the tropics, once THU again.

THU THU 11:30 London Calling b04pbqtg (Listen) THU Jack London created the mould for a particular kind of hard THU living writer; long before Hemingway picked up his first THU whiskey bottle, London was off out on dangerous adventures THU to the Klondike Gold Rush, the THU front lines of the Sino-Russian war, and round the world on THU a boat that cost him millions and nearly cost him his life; THU his chronic alcoholism finally proved his undoing. Before he THU did finally die at the age of 40, London managed to write THU some of the most popular stories ever to emerge from THU America, including 'White Fang' and 'Call of the Wild'. It THU was these books that Aminatta Forna first immersed herself THU in as a child growing up in Sierra Leone, feeling the chill THU of snow covered landscapes London described so vividly as THU she lay reading in the intense West African heat. Now a THU writer herself, she shares many of London's passions, THU including wild animals and the natural landscape; it's no THU co-incidence that her new novel has at its heart a man who THU tracks wild dogs, and in 'London Calling' we accompany her THU to the forests of New England where she tracks coyotes and THU unpicks the influence London's writing has had on her. Along THU the way she'll find out about his extra-ordinary life and THU the great success of his work; author Tobias Wolff tells us THU that London's influence on him was so powerful that in his THU teens he chose to be re-christened as Jack before his father THU forced him to change back to Tobias. We also hear from THU George Monbiot about the appeal London has for him as a THU writer who so vividly depicts the rawness of the wilderness THU in contrast to the drudgery of civilisation. London said THU that he'd, 'rather be ashes than dust,' that he,'would THU rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze THU than it should be stifled by dry-rot.' As Aminatta Forna THU will explain, very few writers could claim to have burned so THU brightly.

THU THU 6/6: This final episode of the fourth THU series contains a pure moment of happiness, a song for a THU season that doesn't usually get sung about, and a curious THU tale about an invention that is probably not evil. THU THU The first series of John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme was THU described as "sparklingly clever" by The Daily Telegraph and THU "one of the most consistently funny sketch shows for quite THU some time" by The Guardian. The second series won Best Radio THU Comedy at both the Chortle and Comedy.co.uk awards, and was THU nominated for a Radio Academy award. The third series THU actually won a Radio Academy award. THU THU In this fourth series, John has written more sketches, like THU the sketches from the other series. Not so much like them THU that they feel stale and repetitious; but on the other hand THU not so different that it feels like a misguided attempt to THU completely change the show.

THU THU But successive governments have failed to replace the social THU housing stock sold off under Right to Buy, and waiting lists THU for council homes continue to grow. THU THU Scotland has already voted to bring an end to Right to Buy THU in two years time - but can the rest of the UK continue to THU keep selling off THU valuable social housing stock off on the cheap?

FRI FRI Chris Packham presents the ivory gull from the northern FRI polar seas. Ivory gulls breed on rocky outcrops and cliffs FRI and has a near-circumpolar distribution, spending most of FRI the year near the edge of the pack ice throughout Arctic FRI Europe, Arctic Russia, Greenland and Canada. They regularly FRI venture farther north than any other bird. The adults are FRI brilliant white with black legs and black eyes; their only FRI splash of colour is on the bill which is a pastel rainbow of FRI blue, green, yellow and pink. At rest they look rather FRI dove-like. Although their colour suggests purity, their FRI tastes are definitely not. Ivory gulls are scavengers. Dead FRI seals or whales will draw them from miles around and those FRI birds which have turned up as rare winter visitors to the UK FRI have often shown an uncanny ability to locate strandline FRI corpses of porpoises, dolphins or seals. Diet aside these FRI are entrancing gulls to watch as they loaf on icebergs or FRI waft angelically over arctic seas.
