SAT SAT 06:07 Open Country b00nmz7n (Listen) SAT Owenstown SAT The philanthropist Robert Owen brought about sweeping SAT social reforms in his model village of New Lanark. Workers SAT in the mill town were given improved housing and working SAT conditions while the children were taken out of the mills SAT and schooled instead. But his vision for a self-sufficient SAT community was never fully realised in his lifetime. SAT Matt Baker explores new plans for Owenstown, a new town of SAT 20,000 planned just a few miles from New Lanark. The SAT co-operative society will be encouraged to foster a sense SAT of community and the town will be carbon neutral, SAT generating its own power from wind and waste. Matt also SAT visits the nearby village of Rigside; once riding high on SAT the jobs and prosperity of the coal pit, it is now facing SAT severe decline and hopes that some of the excitement and SAT prosperity from Owenstown will benefit their area. SAT However, the site chosen for the new town has no natural SAT resource to provide jobs, unlike Rigside's mine and New SAT Lanark's river to power the mills. Matt asks how the SAT planners envision starting their town from scratch. SAT SAT 06:30 Farming Today b00nmz7q (Listen) SAT Farming Today This Week SAT We're farming fewer breeds than ever before, to feed our SAT desire for consistent cuts of meat. Ninety per cent of SAT dairy cows are Holsteins, 90 per cent of pig sows are SAT Landrace, and 70 per cent of our beef comes from Limosin SAT cattle.

SAT SAT 10:30 Where Do You Want Me (A Comic in Continental Crisis) SAT b00nmz81 (Listen) SAT Johnny Vegas is at a turning point in his professional SAT status. He has a thriving career but knows deep down that SAT audiences are getting younger and his shelf-life within SAT showbusiness could be too close to perishable for comfort. SAT What will become of Johnny should The Mighty Boosh demand SAT it is time for him to take his final bow? Johnny sees that SAT with the demise of working men's clubs and the unforgiving SAT nature of popular culture, many household names have SAT followed their ageing audiences to the Spanish coast, SAT where they are still revered and can play once more to SAT packed houses of grateful punters. SAT Is Benidorm merely the elephants' graveyard for SAT entertainers who just don't know when to call it a day, or SAT a shining tribute to the glories of past comedy? Is it a SAT fate that awaits Johnny himself? And what if Benidorm SAT itself is nearing the end of a golden age, now that it is SAT under threat as global recession bites. SAT SAT 11:00 Week in Westminster b00nmz83 (Listen) SAT The Week in Westminster - one of the longest-running radio SAT programmes - celebrates 80 years of broadcasting. SAT November 6th 1929: Wall St had just crashed, bringing the SAT Roaring Twenties to an end. In Britain, women achieved SAT equal voting rights with men and the May general election SAT - sometimes known as the Flapper Election - returned SAT Ramsay MacDonald as prime minister for a second time. You SAT Were Meant for Me was the hit tune of the day. SAT For the benefit of these newly-enfranchised women, the BBC SAT introduced a series of talks on the proceedings of SAT Parliament presented by women MPs. These talks became The SAT Week in Westminster, continuing to the present day, except SAT for an 18-month break during the Second World War. SAT The first presenter was Mary Agnes Hamilton (Molly), newly SAT elected as Labour MP for Blackburn and already an SAT experienced broadcaster through her BBC book programme. SAT There followed a list of famous names such as Nancy Astor, SAT the first woman to take her seat in Parliament, Lady SAT Cynthia Mosely, the Duchess of Atholl, Ellen Wilkinson, SAT Miss E Rathbone and Megan Lloyd George. SAT In 1931, the programme expanded to include male MPs and SAT reached out to a wider audience. A young RA Butler was one SAT of the first men to take part. By then, it had gained the SAT attention of the political parties: MPs taking part had to SAT be vetted by their respective party whips. SAT In the late 1930s, the programme acquired a new young SAT producer tasked with being the BBC's man in Westminster. SAT He was none other than Guy Burgess, the spy who later SAT defected to the Soviet Union. Author Michael Dobbs talks SAT about Burgess' career. SAT From its earliest days, the programme sought to balance SAT the views of the various parties at Westminster and deal SAT fairly with the demands and expectations of politicians. SAT Harman Grisewood, political adviser to the Director SAT General in the 1950s, gives an account of the developing SAT relationship between politicians and the media. SAT In the late 1960s, the format of The Week in Westminster SAT changed. Political journalists rather than politicians SAT were brought in to present. It has remained broadly the SAT same ever since - discussing the week's events in SAT parliament with backbenchers. SAT SAT 11:30 From Our Own Correspondent b00nmz85 (Listen) SAT Kate Adie introduces BBC foreign correspondents with the SAT stories behind the headlines. SAT Prague; Budapest; Warsaw.

SAT Philip Roth's 30th novel, and 10th since he turned 60, is SAT also out and tells the story of Simon Axler, a world-class SAT actor who can no longer act. Is Roth a world-class writer SAT still capable of writing a world-class novel? SAT The Misfits is the new drama from E4; it follows a group SAT of teenagers who are doing community service when they get SAT struck by lightning and are bestowed with supernatural SAT powers. Subverting the idea of the superhero while SAT commenting on the demonization of youth, are The Misfits SAT the A Team of the 21st century? SAT 'Radical' and 'edgy' are words used to describe Green SAT Ginger, and their touring show Rust continues their SAT reputation. Opening at the Pleasance Theatre in Islington, SAT hot on the heels of the London Puppetry Festival, Rust is SAT a fast-moving story of piracy, passion and vinyl. SAT Grotesque puppets, animated sets and shiploads of absurd SAT humour are welded into a dark comic-book vision of low SAT life on the high seas. SAT The Ashmoleon Museum in Oxford is the oldest museum in SAT Europe, and is re-opening after a 61-million pound SAT makeover. The new building, designed by Rick Mather, fits SAT seamlessly with the 1845 Charles Cockerell original SAT museum, adding 39 new galleries and 100,000 feet of floor SAT space, while being invisible from the street. SAT SAT 20:00 Archive on 4 b00nmzp7 (Listen) SAT This is the Army Mr Jones SAT Actor and entertainer John Barrowman tells the story of SAT Irving Berlin's groundbreaking army show, This Is The SAT Army, that came to bomb-ravaged London in 1943 before SAT setting out on a world tour that raised military morale SAT from Glasgow to Guam.

Also remembering the show are SAT members of the audience in Birmingham, Glasgow and London, SAT where a young airman by the name of Denis Norden was SAT spellbound by the show at The Palladium.

SAT SAT 22:15 Moral Maze b00nkcfk (Listen) SAT When does a popular and spontaneous protest become mob SAT rule? Fans of Twitter, the micro-blogging site, have SAT chalked up a couple of notable victories of late. SAT Followers helped to expose a legal injunction against The SAT Guardian and Twitter-led protests generated tens of SAT thousands of complaints against Jan Moir when she wrote a SAT column using the death of Stephen Gately to criticise gay SAT marriage. Is this net-based protest a valuable tool to SAT demonstrate popular opinion or are we sacrificing SAT traditional political engagement for the instant SAT gratification direct action? SAT Witnesses: SAT Professor Andrew Chadwick of the New Political SAT Communication Unit at Royal Holloway, University of SAT London, and author of the book Internet Politics SAT Brendan O'Neill, journalist, writer and editor of Spiked SAT Online SAT Nick Cohen, author and Observer journalist SAT Ben Locker, 'Twitterer'.

The SAT poem, High Flight, has become the most celebrated poem SAT about the intoxication of flying. SAT Sean Street traces the trajectory of the poem and its poet SAT from Rugby School through the Library of Congress and the SAT space race to Ronald Reagan's tribute to the victims of SAT the Challenger space shuttle disaster and beyond, into a SAT unique place in the popular imagination.

Matt also THU visits the nearby village of Rigside; once riding high on THU the jobs and prosperity of the coal pit, it is now facing THU severe decline and hopes that some of the excitement and THU prosperity from Owenstown will benefit their area. THU However, the site chosen for the new town has no natural THU resource to provide jobs, unlike Rigside's mine and New THU Lanark's river to power the mills.

THU Archaeologists are now exploring the oldest 'Atlantis', a THU Mycenaean city submerged beneath the Mediterranean.
