Steve argues the SAT nation's recent past has been hijacked by the fashionistas SAT and that it's time to celebrate the past as it really was - SAT deeply unhip. Forget the Rolling Stones, Mary Quant and the SAT Aston Martin, what Britons really love is a nice melody, a SAT sensible coat and a reliable motor... SAT SAT In programme 1, Punt re-imagines the 50s and 60s as the SAT Pakamac Years. He argues that it wasn't beatniks that SAT epitomised the spirit of the era - but the foldaway mac. SAT The Pakamac flew off the shelves in their tens of thousands SAT as Britons rejoiced in the sheer novelty and practicality of SAT a plastic raincoat which you could pop in your handbag. SAT Steve also considers the importance of anoraks, cagoules, SAT parkas and snorkels as emblems of uncool Britain. SAT SAT Producer: Laurence Grissell. SAT SAT 11:00 Week in Westminster b00skvgk (Listen) SAT Benedict Brogan of The Daily Telegraph reviews the first SAT Queen's Speech, and looks at the implications for the SAT coalition government, the opposition, and politics across SAT the United Kingdom. SAT SAT The coalition government will inevitably face strains where SAT the two parties have very different views on the same issue, SAT and in the first proper debate on domestic policy one of SAT these - nuclear power - came to the fore. Tim Yeo, a SAT pro-nuclear green Conservative, and Simon Hughes, a SAT long-time green from the Liberal Democrat benches, discuss SAT whether the minor partners have got the best of the SAT coalition agreement on this contentious subject. SAT SAT For all its substance, this week has also been about SAT pageantry and occasion. Don Foster, the Liberal Democrat MP SAT who seconded the Loyal Address from the government benches, SAT joined Chris Mullin, who filled the role for Labour in 1997 SAT and Lord Ken Baker, who did it in 1979, to talk about SAT process, humour and coalition government. SAT SAT If being in government sometimes takes a bit of getting used SAT to, spare a thought for the recent ex-government, now SAT consigned to opposition. Andrew Tyrie, a Conservative MP SAT elected in the great Labour landslide of 1997, joined the SAT new Labour MP Liz Kendall to discuss making that transition. SAT SAT Finally, as the announcements of the final ministerial posts SAT laid bare the very English nature of the government, the SAT First Ministers of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland SAT gathered in Belfast to plot strategy.

SAT SAT This programme uses archive from the North West Sound SAT Archives, including interviews with Alf Ramsey, Bobby SAT Robson, Stanley Matthews and Brian Clough. It will also look SAT at the role that devolution has had on the English psyche, SAT reflected at international matches with the Union Jack flag SAT in decline, being replaced by the St George's Cross. SAT SAT In Brazil 1950 England thought themselves invincible, only SAT to find themselves humiliated by a USA team made up of SAT part-timers. England's football world was shaken, just as SAT the country was coming to terms with a shift in its post-war SAT political position in the world. SAT The role of the managers will be examined in this programme, SAT starting with Walter Winterbottom, who wasn't allowed to SAT select his own team. His successor changed that and insisted SAT on having complete control over who played. That manager was SAT Alf Ramsey and with him we see England finally achieve their SAT goal, World Cup winners in 1966. Ramsey was the first SAT manager to clash with the media, a familiar pattern that SAT would subsequently repeat itself. SAT SAT The high of 1966 was followed by disappointments: the dark SAT years of the 1970s when the team failed to qualify for the SAT next two World Cups, and the country struggled with economic SAT problems at home, as well as increasing violence at football SAT matches.The 1990 World Cup in Italy saw a game in the SAT process of transformation.

Lionel Kelleway teams up with The Amphibian & Reptile SUN Conservation (ARC) Trust's Dorset Reserves community SUN officer, Roland Griffin, on a quest to find Britain's rarest SUN reptiles. They've come to the right place. Town Common, just SUN north of Bournemouth, offers a wide variety of habitats and SUN is home to all six of Britain's reptile species. The SUN forecast? Cloudy and cool with sunny intervals - ideal SUN reptile finding weather. To increase their chances further, SUN pieces of corrugated iron sheet are deliberately placed SUN around the common by ARC to help them with reptile surveys. SUN Snakes like to slither under the tins for shelter and warmth. SUN SUN Within minutes, and to their utter delight, under the first SUN tin they discover Britain's rarest snake, the Smooth Snake. SUN Permitted by ARC's special licence to handle reptiles, SUN Lionel has the thrilling privilege of holding the slender SUN brown snake which rests calmly in his hands. Smooth Snakes SUN have severely restricted distribution, being found only in SUN coastal heathland. This habitat is declining fast. A few SUN empty tins later, they uncover two slow worms, legless SUN lizards which look like snakes. Finally, as the sun emerges SUN from behind the clouds at last, conditions become perfect SUN for lizard spotting. As Lionel and Roland wander along a SUN sandy track, there under the heather at the side of the SUN path, is a Sand Lizard, Britain's rarest lizard. It's a SUN beautiful male, resplendent in pea green breeding colours. SUN They get close enough to make out the speckles on its flanks SUN before it slips away into the undergrowth. Sand Lizards are SUN enjoying something of a resurgence as captive breeding and SUN release programmes boost their numbers. It's not often SUN you'll get to encounter both of Britain's rarest reptiles in SUN one morning and Lionel and Roland are elated. SUN SUN Produced by Tania Dorrity.

SUN SUN He grew up in Hungary and, after both his parents were taken SUN to labour camps, he was brought up by his grandmother. His SUN parents died during the war and it was, says Gyorgy, a SUN miracle that he and his grandmother survived in the Budapest SUN ghetto. For years afterwards, he says, he would carry food SUN with him because he was so scarred by the hunger he'd felt. SUN SUN His musical talent was his passport to the West and, when he SUN was 22 years old, he fled first to France, then to Holland SUN and finally to Britain where he has lived for nearly fifty SUN years. Of his early years, he says: "There were times when SUN you were punished if you were listening to the radio. That's SUN when it started to get to me - realising that I was not SUN free. Music is international, it has to be worldwide." SUN SUN Producer: Leanne Buckle.

SUN SUN 14:45 Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen's SUN Escape to the Country b00shgb5 (Listen) SUN The Brotherhood of Ruralists SUN SUN John Seymour's philosophy was a deceptively simple one. "It SUN is time to cut out what we do not need so we can live more SUN happily. Good food, comfortable clothes, serviceable housing SUN and true culture - those are the things that matter." SUN Seymour thus gave voice to the idea that there is more to SUN life than a 9-5 job, and that a better way of living can be SUN found in the countryside. SUN SUN In many ways, he catalyzed our contemporary fascination with SUN the negative impacts of human interaction with the natural SUN world, and was one of the first people to take stock of the SUN ever- increasing impact of an industrialising, urbanising SUN humanity on its host planet. He was an influential figure SUN right up until his death in 2004. SUN SUN Seymour is best known today for The Complete Book of Self SUN Sufficiency, first published in 1976. It became a vital SUN resource for disillusioned city dwellers seeking a more SUN wholesome existence in the countryside, and included tips on SUN everything from animal husbandry to recycling. This book SUN became a Bible for disaffected downsizers of the 70s, SUN flooding from the cities into the countryside, and SUN eventually Seymour set up the School of Self-Sufficiency.

Whilst the kitchen becomes the location for an SUN exploration of history of the spice trail and in the bedroom SUN we encounter sex and death.

SUN SUN 17:00 File on 4 b00sg13g (Listen) SUN For years Britain has been criticised for failing to SUN investigate and punish companies who use bribery and SUN corruption to win contracts overseas. SUN SUN Just before the General Election, Parliament approved a new SUN Bribery law. And in recent months the Serious Fraud Office SUN has adopted a new strategy, prosecuting a string of SUN British-based firms and managers who have pleaded guilty to SUN corrupt practices abroad. It seemed that prosecutors were SUN finally beginning to get results. SUN SUN But now English judges are objecting to the American-style SUN plea bargains which have encouraged guilty companies to SUN confess to past illegality. One senior judge has warned SUN prosecutors they have no power to strike such deals, which SUN tend to offer a more lenient sentence in return for an SUN admission of guilt. And in another case, an executive who SUN cooperated with prosecutors has been sentenced to a year in SUN prison for helping to bribe officials in the Greek health SUN service to buy his company's medical equipment. SUN SUN In the first of a new series of 'File on 4', Allan Urry SUN investigates bribery by British firms abroad, and serious SUN disarray in the court system which should be bringing them SUN to justice.

But he rightly gauged MON the detrimental impacts to the human spirit of failing to MON find moments of peace in a busy world: "A poor life this, MON if, full of care, we have no time to stand and stare." MON MON In this 'composed feature', producer Alan Hall embroiders MON together the experiences of a range of people for whom still MON points and daydreaming provide an escape from the MON increasingly invasive nature of the turning world about us, MON and offer a foundation for reflection, rejuvenation and MON creativity. MON MON Hearing from a Canon at St Paul's in the heart of the City MON of London and an installer of 'energy pods' that offer MON 'corporate fatigue solutions', from an hypnotherapist and an MON educational psychologist, as well as from a MON singer-songwriter from the world of pop music (or 'high-end MON racket') who relishes the peace of the countryside, the MON programme relishes moments of reverie in an attempt to MON reclaim the powers of concentration.

MON MON A control freak, Clare Barker likes nothing better than MON interfering in other people's lives on both a professional MON and personal basis. Clare is in her thirties, white, middle MON class and heterosexual, all of which are occasional causes MON of discomfort to her. Each week we join Clare in her MON continued struggle to control both her professional and MON private life. MON MON The last series saw the personal and professional lives of MON Clare's team shaken around and shuffled about, but it is in MON the nature of hell to be unchanging, and most are present MON and correct for a further round of frustration, despair, MON disappointment, team meetings and eleven o'clock cakes at MON the Sparrowhawk Family Centre.

MON Wole Soyinka fought apartheid from outside South Africa MON during the years of oppression and conflict, and now he MON makes a special journey to the country to meet some of the MON key writers who lived through the turbulent years. In MON Johannesburg he joins fellow Nobel Prize winner Nadine MON Gordimer.

Also in Johannesburg he speaks to South MON Africa's Poet Laureate Keorapetse Kgositsile and in Cape MON Town to Antjie Krog, author of the seminal work 'Country of MON My Skull' about the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. MON MON Wole Soyinka also meets the new young black writers who are MON interpreting their world through fiction. In Johannesburg he MON visits the local FM radio station to speak to Karabo MON Kgoleng, who gives her take on modern South Africa, and MON visits the township of Alexandra to see if living conditions MON have actually improved. Economics, social issues, and the MON desperate need to improve the lot of the poor are all MON brought to Wole Soyinka on his journey through the land.

MON MON This is a journey through old and new South Africa by a MON writer who truly understands the work of the African writer.

Quentin talks to Dr Joseph Ulanowski MON from the Centre for Atmospheric & Instrumentation Research MON at the University of Hertfordshire who's co-author of a MON paper investigating the odd electrical charges found within MON the plume. He also talks to Dr Carina Fearnley, from MON University College London's brand new Institute For Risk and MON Disaster Reduction, which has launched itself with a report MON on the implications of the Icelandic eruption.

It produces a simplified version of Chinese MON for children to learn, and is also used for texting, slang MON and to make it possible to type on a keyboard. It also helps MON the rest of the world to understand Chinese words. Beijing MON is a pinyin word, for example. Will the use of Chinese MON characters eventually die out as the influence of pinyin and MON English is felt there? And we hear about the language war MON raging in Singapore, the only country in Asia with English MON as its first language, between standard English and MON Singlish, the local variant. Contributors include William MON Zhou, Chen "Cathy" Liu,"Pinyin Joe"- Joe Katz, Victor Mair MON and Singaporean podcaster extraordinaire "mr brown", aka Kin MON Mun Lee. MON MON 23:30 Libraries and Labyrinths: Borges and Me b00kdtpy (Listen) MON Peter White gets to grips with Jorge Luis Borges, the MON much-loved Argentinian poet, essayist, and short-story MON writer, whose tales of fantasy and dreamworlds are classics MON of 20th-century world literature. MON MON As he did to great effect with our Milton documentary, MON 'Visions of Paradise', Peter uses his own blindness as a way MON of probing a great writer's experience of his loss of sight. MON It's a novel and compelling way of opening up Borges' work. MON MON Labyrinths, intricate puzzles and game-playing characterise MON Borges' short stories such as 'Fictions', 'The Aleph', and MON indeed 'Labyrinths'. We'll relate this to his years of close MON reading of world literature, his playfulness, and the fact MON that through his long years of myopia, he stocked his mind MON with books, preparing for the blindness that he knew would MON come. MON MON Borges detested the regime of the dictator General Peron. So MON it wasn't until the end of Peronism in 1955 that the author MON was appointed Director of the National Library in Buenos MON Aires. By then he was almost completely blind: "I speak of MON God's splendid irony in granting me at once 800,000 books MON and darkness," he noted. We visit the National Library and MON find out how Borges' work is currently being converted into MON Braille for the country's blind readers. MON MON To compensate for his loss of vision, Borges turned again to MON poetry, a form of writing that he could more easily revise MON in his head than on paper. He also continued his pursuit of MON knowledge, acquiring a taste for the old Anglo Saxon MON language and Old Norse. MON MON Producer: Mark Smalley.

The Gupta period is TUE regarded by many Indians as a golden age, a time when Indian TUE cultural life and religion came together to create temples TUE and texts that are central to Hinduism today.

TUE TUE Sticking with the Americas, we head north to Central America TUE and the rainforests of Costa Rica. Howard Stableford has TUE been there for Saving Species to meet Oregon State TUE University bioloists working on Humming Birds in the TUE forests. Howard discovers that the Humming Birds are crucial TUE plant pollinators for the forest, but those birds near the TUE forest edge will head into the banana plantations before the TUE forest, lured there because banana flowers are loaded with TUE nectar, the humming birds food. What then are the TUE implications for rainforest regeneration without their TUE humming bird pollinators? Howard asks the questions.

In Edward TUE Hopper's 1942 painting Nighthawks, a couple, a solitary TUE customer and the bartender seem adrift in the darkness TUE around them. TUE TUE Adam Gopnik, writer on the New Yorker, walks the streets in TUE search of the location and the mood, wondering whether TUE Hopper was 'painting the loneliness' he claimed, while TUE Barbara Haskell, curator of a forthcoming Hopper exhibition, TUE offers other interpretations.

TUE TUE The new government has put town halls in the front line of TUE both cuts and reforms. TUE TUE They have shaved millions off budgets and they say they TUE intend to put citizens in control of their own lives, TUE communities and local services by inviting them to have a TUE greater say over council activities. TUE TUE It seems likely that thousands of schools will opt out of TUE local authority control while council tax payers will be TUE encouraged to become involved in considering planning, TUE transport and have the right to trigger a referrendum on TUE policy. Local government may never be the same again. TUE TUE But is this a good thing? If what goes on in our local TUE schools or planning departments is no longer under the full TUE control of our elected representatives does that not TUE diminish local democracy? TUE TUE We all know there will be less money, so perhaps a TUE consequence of integrating citizens more closely in the TUE decsion making process is that those with the loudest voices TUE and deepest pockets will be allowed to trample over the TUE interests of people less well able to represent their views TUE and interests on their own account. TUE TUE Perhaps you feel that town halls have long been centres of TUE vested interests and a little bit of people power would do TUE local democracy a world of good, compelling our local TUE polticians to think twice before spending our money on TUE hare-brained schemes or imposing unpopular developments on TUE communities.

TUE TUE 13:30 The FAE Sonata b00sjbsx (Listen) TUE Frei Aber Einsam - 'free but lonely' - was the motto of the TUE great 19th century violinist Joseph Joachim. It's also the TUE name of a Violin Sonata played by Joachim, accompanied by TUE Clara Schumann, that resulted from a collaboration between TUE the composer Robert Schumann and two of his pupils, Johannes TUE Brahms and Albert Dietrich. TUE TUE On the 200th anniversary of Schumann's birth, Tom Robinson TUE examines the complex relationships between these romantic TUE artists through the prism of this piece of music. Schumann's TUE passionate love for his wife Clara is matched only by TUE Brahms' devotion to her during and following Schumann's TUE decline into mental illness. TUE TUE Brahms was also a close champion of Joachim, until the TUE violinist's divorce, when they fell out over the composer's TUE support for Joachims' wife. And the FAE Sonata itself was TUE neglected - an innocent victim - until long after Brahms' TUE death. TUE TUE Tom unpicks the romantic and turbulent story of a musical TUE collaboration with the help of pianist and Schumann champion TUE Lucy Parham, violinist Tasmin Little, Robert John Godfrey of TUE 'The Enid' and Radio 3's Andrew McGregor.

In WED the home and at the shops, throughout medicine, the WED military, and almost everywhere else the laser has become WED one of the most ubiquitous pieces of modern technology. WED WED Dr Hermione Cockburn tells the story of the invention of the WED laser, a battle that consumed some of the biggest names in WED electronics for almost two years, led to claims, WED counter-claims and academic back-stabbing, along with a WED 30-year battle over the patents. There's no simple answer to WED the question "who invented the laser" so this is the story WED of the leading claimants, assisted by extracts from their WED oral histories. WED WED The programme also shows some of the many applications that WED resulted from this invention. While it's never become the WED 'death-ray' of science-fiction, it has found many military WED uses. In medicine, laser eye surgery's now commonplace, but WED there are many more uses including the new field of WED photo-dynamic therapy - drugs taken in the normal way but WED only activated by laser light, allowing precise targeting of WED some cancers.
