SAT SAT 10:30 For One Night Only b00zh1d6 (Listen) SAT Series 6, The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart SAT SAT Paul Gambaccini returns with the award-winning series to SAT look back at four more occasions on which a classic live SAT album was recorded. He hears from those who were there, SAT on-stage, backstage and in the audience, to re-create the SAT event for all of us who, each time we play the album, think: SAT 'If only I could have been there'. SAT SAT When 'The Button-Down Mind of Bob Newhart' appeared in 1960 SAT it became the first comedy album ever to top the charts. SAT From 'The Driving Instructor' to 'Abe Lincoln vs Madison SAT Avenue', the sketches that earned Newhart Grammy Awards for SAT Best New Artist and Best Comedy Performance were as popular SAT in Britain as in the US. And they still raise a laugh more SAT than fifty years on. SAT SAT In this first edition of the new series, Paul Gambaccini SAT talks to the now 81-year-old comedy star himself who, before SAT the legendary album, was an accountant who leavened the SAT office monotony by working up 'phone' routines with a SAT colleague. When Chicago DJ Dan Sorkin heard a tape of the SAT pair, he thought Bob's end of the act was good enough to SAT record and managed to interest George Avakian of Warner SAT Brothers Records. Avakian wanted Bob in front of a live SAT audience and found a club in Houston - The Tidelands - where SAT the manager, Dick Maegle, agreed to let the novice perform. SAT Sorkin, Avakian and Maegle have all been interviewed for the SAT programme. SAT SAT So on 12 February 1960 a nervous Bob went out on stage. The SAT result is as fresh today as it was then. Paul Gambaccini SAT hears the story of the making of this classic album SAT SAT Producer: Marya Burgess.

SAT We go out to a gun shop to discover just how easy it is to SAT get armed in California. SAT And there's a story from Pakistan about a snow leopard SAT that's forgotten what snow's like. SAT SAT How much more can survivors of Japan's disaster endure? They SAT wander through once-familiar neighbourhoods that are now no SAT more than wastelands. They search for homes that exist only SAT in their memories. And they've been going in fear of what SAT the unfolding nuclear disaster might mean - uncertain of the SAT safety of the air they breathe. Rupert Wingfield-Hayes has SAT spent days reporting on the plight of the survivors, and SAT considers what it takes to cope with adversity on this SAT overwhelming scale. SAT SAT It was a tiny event. A bit of routine local politics: a SAT Congresswoman taking questions at a supermarket in Arizona. SAT But suddenly a gunman opened fire. When the shooting was SAT over six people were dead, and the Congresswoman, Gabrielle SAT Gifford, was wounded in the head and fighting for her life. SAT In recent years America has become disturbingly prone to SAT these sort insane, murderous outbursts. Each is followed by SAT periods of national soul-searching. And two months on from SAT the bloodshed in Arizona, David Willis been looking at the SAT impact it's had on America's attitudes towards guns. SAT SAT The study of linguistics is littered with dead languages - SAT tongues that have fallen silent. Some will have failed to SAT evolve - failed to keep up with a changing world and faded SAT into irrelevance. They'll have been swamped by other, more SAT dynamic, more widely-spoken languages. Hundreds of smaller SAT ones are struggling right now, and in danger of extinction. SAT But Hannah Barnes has been talking to lovers of Hebrew who SAT are determined to ensure that it remains as up to date as it SAT can possibly be. SAT SAT The mountains of Asia - like the Himalayas and the Hindu SAT Kush - are home to a magnificent animal, the snow leopard. SAT But all across its range it's under pressure and endangered. SAT It has less and less room to roam, and poachers hunt it for SAT its beautiful fur. It's believed that there are fewer than SAT six thousand snow leopards in the wild. And Mohammad Hanif SAT has been touched by the miseries of one that is in SAT captivity.

Get SAT Me Out Of Here" card this week as she talks to Dom Joly. SAT SAT Music comes from Manchester based multi-instrumentalist and SAT singer Jesca Hoop who performs 'City Bird' from her new EP SAT Snowglobe.

SAT SAT Having inherited a fortune on her twenty first birthday Anna SAT Tellwright begins to gain independence and freedom. But on SAT her return from an eventful holiday with the Suttons and SAT Henry Mynors her joy is marred by some shocking news about SAT one of her tenant's Titus Price.

SAT SAT 22:15 Moral Maze b00zf34d (Listen) SAT The medicalisation of misbehaviour. SAT The 'DSM' - The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental SAT Disorders, the Bible of American psychiatry - is reported SAT this week to be debating whether to recognise 'sex SAT addiction' as a treatable medical condition. SAT Private 'rehab' clinics say that more and more clients are SAT seeking treatment for sex addiction. Those who have already SAT undergone therapy for it include Russell Brand, Tiger Woods SAT and Michael Douglas. SAT So should we tear up the seventh commandment and replace it SAT with 'If you commit adultery you should seek therapy'? SAT We could replace a few more commandments. In place of SAT 'Remember the Sabbath', 'Thou shalt not covet', 'Thou shalt SAT not steal' and 'Honour thy father and mother', we could have SAT 'Recognise that you may be a workaholic, a shopaholic or a SAT kleptomaniac, or that you may have Oppositional Defiant SAT Disorder.' SAT If any socially-unacceptable behaviour is a symptom of a SAT condition that can be treated with drugs or therapy or both, SAT where does that leave those quaint old moral terms good and SAT bad, right and wrong? Are we nowadays too willing to excuse SAT bad behaviour as the morally-neutral symptom of some SAT newly-defined mental disorder? Or is medical science finding SAT new ways to diagnose and treat the causes of deviance where SAT traditional morality has failed? SAT Combative, provocative and engaging debate chaired by SAT Michael Buerk with Michael Portillo, Clifford Longley, SAT Melanie Phillips and Kenan Malik. SAT SAT 23:00 The 3rd Degree b00zdh7m (Listen) SAT Reading SAT SAT Coming this week from the University of Reading, host Steve SAT Punt quizzes students and lecturers of Food Science & SAT Technology, International Relations, and English and SAT American Literature. SAT Which is why you're going to find out the meanings of such SAT obscure and outlandish concepts as "interregnum", SAT "Tetrapak", "Spationaute", "Myanmar", "Thermidore", "golem" SAT and "Chris Moyles" SAT SAT "The 3rd Degree" is a funny, lively and dynamic new quiz SAT show aimed at cultivating the next generation of Radio 4 SAT listeners whilst delighting the current ones. It's recorded SAT on location at a different University each week, and it pits SAT three Undergraduates against three of their Professors in a SAT genuinely original and fresh take on an academic quiz. Being SAT a Radio 4 programme, it of course meets the most stringent SAT standards of academic rigour - but with lots of facts and SAT jokes thrown in for good measure. SAT SAT Together with host Steve Punt, the show tours the (sometimes SAT posh, sometimes murky, but always welcoming!) Union SAT buildings, cafés and lecture halls of six universities SAT across the UK. SAT SAT The rounds vary between Specialist Subjects and General SAT Knowledge, quickfire bell-and-buzzer rounds and the SAT 'Highbrow & Lowbrow' round cunningly devised to test not SAT only the students' knowledge of current affairs, history, SAT languages and science, but also their Professors' awareness SAT of television, film, and Lady Gaga... In addition, the SAT Head-to-Head rounds, in which students take on their SAT Professors in their own subjects, were particularly lively, SAT and offered plenty of scope for mild embarrassment on both SAT sides... SAT SAT The resulting show is funny, fresh, and not a little bit SAT surprising, with a truly varied range of scores, friendly SAT rivalry, and moments where students wished they had more SAT than just glanced at that reading list... SAT SAT Producer: David Tyler SAT A Pozzitive production for BBC Radio 4. SAT SAT 23:30 The Company of Poets b00zd92g (Listen) SAT Susannah Clapp looks through Angela Carter's journals to SAT discover her unknown poetry. She introduces Angela's circle SAT - her editors Andrew Motion (former Poet Laureate), and SAT Carmen Callil (founder of Virago Press), and her close SAT friend Salman Rushdie, as well as the critic Marina Warner - SAT not just to the verse itself, but to the fact that Angela SAT even wrote poetry, which none of them knew. SAT SAT Angela Carter is one of the most pungent writers of the last SAT fifty years and yet her poems are more or less unknown. They SAT were written at the beginning of her life as a writer: her SAT first novel was published in 1966, and so have a particular SAT interest as showing a path not taken. In this programme SAT Susannah and guests argue that they strikingly anticipate SAT her fiction and other writing, in both the richness of SAT expression and in subject matter and sometimes even the very SAT violence of the verse makes her concerns plainer. Through SAT readings and analysis, the programme explores Carter's SAT poetic interest in fairy tale, her fascination with the SAT 18th-century (Susannah will argue that she was both a romper SAT and a sceptic secularist), her feminism, her foul tongue, SAT and her fascinating politics. And her poetry will also SAT illustrate Carter's vivid visual sense and tastes, such as SAT her love of cats. SAT SAT For the programme Susannah goes to the British Library to SAT look at the poems in Angela Carter's journals, and her lists SAT of the things that she was reading at the time she wrote SAT them. SAT SAT Readings will be done by Olivia Williams (The Sixth Sense, SAT The Ghost Writer and the RSC.) SAT SAT Susannah was a close friend of Angela Carter's. SAT SAT Contributors: Salman Rushdie, Andrew Motion, Marina Warner, SAT Carmen Callil, Jamie Andrews. Readings by Olivia Williams. SAT SAT Producer: Rebecca Stratford.

SUN SUN This propensity for finding something unexpected and useful SUN while searching for something else entirely can be related SUN to science, geography and of course, love. Serendipity SUN differs from mere coincidence - it doesn't knock at the door SUN and you can't go out to look for it. SUN SUN We know now that the early explorers who voyaged before SUN there were maps and navigational equipment were masters of SUN serendipity. We will hear a letter from Christopher Columbus SUN which reveals very clearly that America was a serendipitous SUN discovery which came about while the explorer was actually SUN looking for a route to the Indies. SUN SUN Presented by Irma Kurtz SUN SUN Produced by Ronni Davis SUN An Unique production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN 06:35 On Your Farm b00zjcx3 (Listen) SUN Caz Graham visits a farm for children who are visually SUN impaired and have disabilities. When the Royal London SUN Society for the Blind opened Hollybank Farm in Kent 18 SUN months ago many of their students were terrified of the SUN animals. Now they have overcome that fear and everyone gets SUN involved from collecting the eggs to selling the sausages. SUN SUN These children don't have traditional lessons but use the SUN farm to learn outside the classroom. Due to their SUN disabilities the children are unlikely to ever become SUN farmers but this vocational learning has taught them basic SUN maths and English, and more importantly has provided a vital SUN connection to the outside world. Caz Graham mucks out with SUN some of the students and with Chris Ely, the agricultural SUN manager. SUN SUN Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Emma Weatherill.

One of the great wild sounds of North America is the SUN purring of insects in the evening, especially that of SUN Cicadas, one of the great stridulating sounds in the wild. SUN This is the tale of one Cicada; the 17-year periodic Cicada SUN that stunned the community in New England thirteen years SUN after the Pilgrim Fathers had landed. There was a plague of SUN insects, all with red eyes on stalks - and all emerging SUN continuously out of the soil. When the plague subsided a few SUN weeks later the people of Plymouth Rock were braced for SUN another onslaught, but nothing happened until 17 years SUN later.

SUN SUN 11:15 The Reunion b00zl4dq (Listen) SUN Brixton Riots SUN SUN In this edition of The Reunion, Sue MacGregor reunites five SUN people who lived through the dramatic events which stunned SUN the nation when simmering tensions erupted into an all out SUN battle between police and youths in Brixton in April 1981. SUN SUN On Saturday the 11th of April 1981 Brixton was set ablaze as SUN hundreds of local youths fought the Metropolitan Police in SUN running street battles. The police came under a hail of SUN bricks and bottles, and petrol bombs were thrown at them for SUN the first time on mainland Britain. Ill equipped and lacking SUN in training at one point they struggled even to defend the SUN police station on Brixton Road. SUN SUN What was shocking to many people was the unexpectedness of SUN events. But below the surface tensions had been building. SUN Many young black men believed officers discriminated against SUN them, particularly by use of the 'sus' law under which SUN anybody could be stopped and searched if officers merely SUN suspected they might be planning to carry out a crime. SUN SUN In early April, Operation Swamp - an attempt to cut street SUN crime in Brixton which used the sus law to stop more than SUN 1,000 people in six days - heightened tensions. SUN SUN Whilst the press called it "the Brixton riots", giving the SUN impression that it was the work of a hysterical mob. Linton SUN Kwesi Johnson redefined the moment as "di great SUN insohreckshan". "It is noh mistri/we mekkin histri," he SUN wrote. SUN SUN Joining Sue around the table is: novelist Alex Wheatle ; Ted SUN Knight, then the leader of Lambeth Borough Council; SUN journalist and broadcaster Darcus Howe and former policemen SUN Brian Paddick and Peter Bleksley.

SUN SUN 12:32 Food Programme b00zl4ds (Listen) SUN Frozen Food SUN SUN In France there is no shame in shopping in Picard. The SUN specialist frozen food chain commands 18% of the french SUN frozen market by selling quality frozen food to meet the SUN needs of a time poor, food loving bourgeoisie. SUN SUN Simon Parkes explores today's frozen food market, and asks SUN if our own frozen sector could follow their lead? SUN SUN Natalie Bergman, Global Research Director of Planet Retail SUN looks at current trends in the market which has seen a SUN strong recovery during the recession. Brian Young, Director SUN General of the British Frozen Food Federation, outlines the SUN potential for the market, and constraints, most notably the SUN success of chilled food ranges. Ian Keyes talks about the SUN challenges of launching their value added, local "Yorkshire SUN Peas" range.

SUN SUN 13:30 Tracing Your Roots b00zl4dx (Listen) SUN In this Tracing Your Roots Census Special, Sally Magnusson SUN visits Fox Lane in Leyland. With the help of genealogist SUN Nick Barratt, she explores how, through the Census, we can SUN piece together a street's changing history and also uncover SUN secrets about our own family's past. SUN SUN The first census records date back to the early 1800s. At SUN this time, Leyland was a small village which became a small SUN town over the nineteenth century. Sally visits one of the SUN original weaver's cottages where the owners are intrigued to SUN find out more about the original residents and the identity SUN of a rumoured ghost! Through the census records we build up SUN a picture of how the weaving industry declined in the SUN 1830's, with the weavers required to sub-let their cellars SUN to poorer families. As the Industrial Revolution progresses SUN we can see in the occupations listed in the census how the SUN town evolves through to the beginnings of its famous motor SUN industry. SUN SUN Plus Sally and Nick are joined by Peter Christian, author of SUN The Online Genealogist, and The Expert Guide to the Census. SUN They'll discuss how having the Census available online has SUN transformed family history research and reflect on what SUN future family historians would lose if the Census is SUN abolished. SUN SUN And we convince one Fox Lane resident to fill out a form for SUN the first time, by illustrating what they can learn about SUN their own family's past from previous census records.

In their day they were SUN dismissed as blue-sky time-wasters but now we recognise SUN their genius. SUN SUN Louis Brennan (1852-1932) SUN SUN Louis Brennan earned £100,000 from the War Office by SUN patenting the first steerable torpedo. But his design for a SUN monorail locomotive, to be kept stable by gyroscopes, was SUN demonstrated in 1909 and promptly ignored. If Brennan's idea SUN had been adopted, the cost of laying rail-track would have SUN been slashed. SUN SUN During the early 1920s he designed a helicopter but the Air SUN Ministry couldn't see the point of it and stopped funding SUN its development in 1926. There's a working scale-model of SUN Brennan's monorail locomotive at the Science Museum.

SUN SUN 16:30 Make Perhaps This Out Sense Of Can You b00zlbl5 (Listen) SUN Bob Cobbing's playful experiments with sound and text have SUN inspired a generation of poets, artists and composers. A SUN writer whose work skittered between literature and music, SUN poetry and artwork - he is, perhaps, best remembered for his SUN extraordinary poetry readings. With his operatic, resonant SUN voice he would boom, howl, chant and whisper leaving his SUN audience enchanted and enraged in equal measures. SUN SUN In this programme we delve into the work of Bob Cobbing - SUN exploring his influence on the publishing world, his role in SUN one of the most turbulent periods at the Poetry Society and SUN the visual poem that outraged Margaret Thatcher. SUN SUN Revered and reviled - he has been a controversial figure at SUN times. In this feature the writers Iain Sinclair, Peter SUN Finch, Alan Brownjohn and Paula Claire, amongst others, SUN reflect on the musicality of his work, how he challenged the SUN conventional notion of poetry and the surprising controversy SUN sound and visual poetry caused in the twentieth century.

SUN Ministers, businessmen and members of the president's family SUN have deposited vast sums in Swiss bank accounts and bought SUN luxury properties in London. Where did all this wealth come SUN from? How was the Egyptian government able to continue SUN abusing its power for three decades?

MON MON Kitchens MON MON Once upon a time, kitchens were tiny, functional rooms in MON the back of the house where food was prepared, then MON presented with great panache to guests and family alike. MON Now kitchens are the main focus – and selling point – of our MON homes. A recent survey found that the kitchen has doubled MON in size over the last century, and overtaken the living room MON as the place we are most likely to spend the majority of our MON waking hours. So why have our kitchens changed function? MON Why do we want to spend so much time there? And does this MON mean the demise of the living room? Former presenter of MON ‘Farmhouse Kitchen’, Grace Mulligan, and Deputy Editor of MON Elle Decoration Magazine, Anabel Cutler join Jane to discuss MON whether a bigger hob necessarily means a happier hub. MON MON Men in families and family policy MON MON There has been an increasing worldwide focus on the role of MON men in families, evident in the rise of the availability of MON paternity leave but according to a new book by the United MON Nations, policy makers have been slow to recognise the need MON for effective public policy supporting men’s roles. To MON discuss how best to promote men’s involvement in family and MON social policy Jane is joined by Professor Margaret O’Brien, MON co-author of the UN book and Co-Director of the Centre for MON Research on the Child and Family at the University of East MON Anglia, and Rob Williams, Chief Executive of the Fatherhood MON Institute.

MON MON Women's rights in Egypt post-revolution MON MON The revolution in Egypt saw women alongside men protesting MON to bring about the downfall of the Mubarak regime. Women MON were instrumental in organising the protests, but now the MON country is in transition there is a danger that women’s MON rights have fallen off the agenda. No women were invited MON onto the committee drafting amendments to the constitution MON and women’s groups campaigned for a “no†vote to the MON referendum held last Saturday on these amendments. So how MON difficult is it now going to be for Egyptian women to MON liberate themselves, as they’ve helped liberate their own MON society from dictatorship?

So MON if you'd like to hear a Military Historian humming Beatles MON songs, a Senior Lecturer in Criminology trying to identify MON Rihanna, or students trying to list types of fruit that MON begin with the letter 'P', then this is the quiz show for MON you. Plus the only time in recording history that the word MON "pebble" has earned a massive cheer. MON MON "The 3rd Degree" is a funny, lively and dynamic new quiz MON show aimed at cultivating the next generation of Radio 4 MON listeners whilst delighting the current ones. It's recorded MON on location at a different University each week, and it pits MON three Undergraduates against three of their Professors in a MON genuinely original and fresh take on an academic quiz. MON MON Together with host Steve Punt, the show tours the (sometimes MON posh, sometimes murky, but always welcoming!) Union MON buildings, cafés and lecture halls of six universities MON across the UK. MON MON The rounds vary between Specialist Subjects and General MON Knowledge, quickfire bell-and-buzzer rounds and the MON 'Highbrow & Lowbrow' round cunningly devised to test not MON only the students' knowledge of current affairs, history, MON languages and science, but also their Professors' awareness MON of television, film, and Lady Gaga... In addition, the MON Head-to-Head rounds, in which students take on their MON Professors in their own subjects, were particularly lively, MON and offered plenty of scope for mild embarrassment on both MON sides... MON MON The resulting show is funny, fresh, and not a little bit MON surprising, with a truly varied range of scores, friendly MON rivalry, and moments where students wished they had more MON than just glanced at that reading list...

MON Widely regarded as the finest physicist of his generation MON and the most influential since Einstein, Feynman did much to MON popularise science, through lectures, books and television, MON not least his dramatic revelation before the world's media MON at a press conference in which he demonstrated the exact MON cause of the Challenger Shuttle explosion in 1986. MON MON Described as the 'Mozart of physics', Feynman's amazing life MON and career seemingly had no end of highlights. A student at MON MIT and then Princeton (where he obtained an unprecedented MON perfect score on the entrance exam for maths and physics), MON he was drafted onto the Manhattan Project as a junior MON scientist. There his energy and talents made a significant MON mark on two of the project's leaders, Robert Oppenheimer and MON Hans Bethe. The latter would become Feynman's lifelong MON mentor and friend. Bethe called his student "a magician", MON setting him apart from other scientists as no ordinary MON genius. In 1965, Feynman shared a Nobel for his unique MON contribution to the field of Quantum Electrodynamics making MON him the most celebrated, influential and best known American MON Physicist of his generation. Something that would continue MON until his death from cancer in 1988. MON MON At the same time as his scientific reputation was building, MON Feynman's unconventional attitude and behaviour was helping MON to create his reputation for eccentricity. When bored of MON writing equations on chalk boards or lecturing in his lab, MON he would go off in search of inspiration down at the local MON strip club, watching the go-go girls and scribbling his MON calculations on napkins. He played bongos and cracked safes. MON He was multi-disciplined before the term was even invented, MON allowing his curiosity to stray into biology, psychology and MON computing. He was playful and imaginative because he saw the MON value in not being solely focused on applied research. His MON eccentricity would at times infuriate his colleagues but it MON was simply a natural consequence of how he thought. From a MON young age, as he explains in the programme, his father MON instilled in him an insatiable curiosity about the world, a MON desire to know at a fundamental level, how it operated. It MON simply wasn't enough to know the name of something. His MON father also taught him to carry a healthy disrespect for the MON natural hierarchy of things. Recounting a hilarious story MON about his Father's dislike of the Pope, Feynman saw status MON and honours as little more than ephemera: "epaulets and MON uniforms" and his father, a uniform salesman by trade, "knew MON the difference between a man with the uniform on and the MON uniform off - it's the same man". MON MON Though few ever understood mathematics or physics like MON Feynman, he truly believed that science was simply too MON important to be left exclusively to scientists and his MON energy and humour was essential in getting the public MON interested and inspired to find out how the world works for MON themselves, something that is essential today as science MON plays an increasingly central role in world events and MON everyday life. MON MON Producer: Rami Tzabar. MON MON 15:45 Churchill's Other Lives b00zlcpw (Listen) MON Cinema MON MON Historian Sir David Cannadine explores Winston Churchill's MON love affair with the movies.

The MON following morning, the British representative in Moscow was MON arrested. The Soviet secret services accused him of being at MON the centre of a dastardly imperialist plot to overthrow the MON young, fragile Bolshevik regime and to assassinate both MON Lenin and Trotsky. And that is a story the Russians have MON stuck to ever since. The British, on the other hand, have MON consistently dismissed the Soviet allegations as far-fetched MON propaganda. But were the Russians right? The alleged plot MON soured Anglo-Soviet relations for years afterwards - even to MON the present day. Using as yet unpublished archives, Mike MON Thomson investigates the truth behind this "plot." MON MON Producer: John Murphy. MON MON 20:30 Analysis b00zlgdl (Listen) MON Blue Labour MON MON Labour's traditional working class supporters are abandoning MON the party in their droves. But can Labour win them back MON without alienating the middle-class voters it needs to win MON the next election? David Goodhart explores the tensions MON between two traditions in the Labour movement - a liberal MON wing focused on equality and diversity and a conservative MON strand that is more concerned with issues of solidarity and MON community. And he examines the new Blue Labour school of MON thought, which believes that the best way to unite the two MON traditions is to rethink the Big State approach that became MON a defining element of the post-war Labour Party's identity.

MON MON 22:45 Book at Bedtime b00zlgdq (Listen) MON Mathilda, Episode 1 MON MON With a new production of Frankenstein opened at The National MON Theatre directed by Danny Boyle - Radio 4 presents a reading MON by Emilia Fox of the only other finished work of fiction by MON the celebrated author of Frankenstein - Mary Shelley. MON MON With its shocking theme of father-daughter incest, Mary MON Shelley's publisher father, known for his own subversive MON books -not only refused to publish Mathilda when she sent it MON to him early in 1820, he also refused to return her only MON copy of the manuscript, calling it 'disgusting and MON detestable'. The work was never published in her lifetime MON and was only brought to light in the early 1950's when it MON was unearthed in the Bodleian Library, Oxford. MON MON In our own times the novella doesn't seem nearly so shocking MON - but her father's attempted suppression is perhaps MON understandable: unlike Frankenstein, written a year earlier, MON Mathilda uses fantasy to study a far more personal reality. MON As she lies on her deathbed, the narrator tells her story. MON She is a young woman whose mother died in her childbirth - MON just as Shelley's own mother died after hers - and whose MON relationship with her bereaved father becomes sexually MON charged as he conflates her with his lost wife, while she MON herself becomes involved with a handsome poet. MON MON Yet, despite characters clearly based on herself, her MON father, and her husband, the narrator lifts the story beyond MON autobiographical resonance into something more transcendent: MON a passionate tale of a brave woman's search for love, MON atonement, and redemption. MON MON From her deathbed in an isolated country cottage, Mathilda, MON a young gentlewoman with a tragic past, sets out to tell her MON closest friend and the wider public the secret behind her MON long depression and self imposed seclusion.....

Nigel has created two wonderful characters, TUE both in love with the same woman - who has just - tragically TUE - died. One is her former husband, boozy columnist Barry TUE (ROGER ALLAM) at the tail end of a career marked by TUE low-achievement in pugnacious, snide journalism. The other TUE is Andrea's recent partner until her sudden death: TUE alternative but ultra-orthodox, politically-correct TUE naturopath Nigel (NIGEL PLANER). We join Barry after a TUE typically hearty breakfast on his way from Chelsea to attend TUE the funeral in South London. (As he succinctly but tellingly TUE puts it: 'In former times, a breakfast of egg on toast and TUE two glasses of red wine would have cost considerably less TUE than fifteen nicker') There he confronts his squeaky-clean TUE nemesis Nigel. The lugubrious Barry is appalled at the TUE ceremony: 'Andrea would have wanted a troupe of African TUE drummers at her sending off, with mytho-poetic speeches by TUE the priest, a Guetamalan shaman. What she got is a couple of TUE hymns, a bit of Bible and a shunt into the automatic TUE incinerator of Wandsworth Crematorium just off the A217') It TUE is while milling outside that he basically decent Nigel TUE makes the mistake of inviting Barry back to the house - TUE Barry's house - for the reception. Now the fireworks really TUE start. TUE TUE Nigel Planer has created an explosive comedy drama as these TUE two moral polarities collide, wrestling over the memory of TUE their shared inspirational warrior woman, and of course, her TUE home. Also a dark and funny play about mourning, loss and TUE recovery as the cantankerous columnist's wit evaporates to TUE reveal an unexpected tenderness. TUE TUE Barry ..... Roger Allam TUE Nigel .....

THU THU 11:30 House Beautiful b00zm1l1 (Listen) THU To tie in with the V&A's exhibition The Cult of Beauty, THU Laurence Llewelyn Bowen considers the effect of the THU Aesthetic movement on the home in Britain. THU THU Many artists and craftsmen were repelled by the ugly mass THU produced goods on show at the 1851 Exhibition. A reactive THU movement started that made BEAUTY the focus and ambition, THU not only of art but of all things including household goods THU and furnishings. THU THU Laurence starts at Leighton House in London, the opulent THU studio-home of the painter Frederic Lord Leighton, which was THU open for the public to admire and emulate. Rossetti, THU Whistler and Wilde also had houses which became hugely THU fashionable for their muted colour, their harmonious THU furnishings and their refined collection of art and objects, THU many from Japan and the Middle East. THU THU Laurence traces the style to the very heart of middle class THU suburbia where all things 'artistic' became an obsession. THU THU And we hear how much we owe to that movement today - how our THU glassy home magazines are descendants of the Victorian 'home THU hints', how the tiles and wallpapers we choose, the idea of THU lifestyle' and of 'good taste' can be attributed to what THU happened during the 1870s.

THU THU In the second and final part of this series, Dr Adam THU Rutherford tells the extraordinary story of one of the most THU contentious cases of medical misconduct of the last few THU decades, and the serious public health consequences that THU followed. THU THU Andrew Wakefield was the doctor at the centre of the MMR THU scare that dominated the public health debate at the THU beginning of this century. His research, published in the THU Lancet in 1998, argued that there is a link between the THU triple vaccine MMR and the onset of autism in some children. THU THU What followed was a public health scare that led to a THU dangerous drop in uptake of the vaccine, and the biggest THU outbreak of measles in this country for 20 years. Almost 13 THU years later, Andrew Wakefield has been found guilty of THU dishonesty and serious professional misconduct on several THU counts by the General Medical Council, and has now been THU struck off. THU THU But the consequences of his misconduct live on. Why did it THU take so long for the extent of his deception to be revealed? THU Adam Rutherford talks to the key players in this incredible THU saga, and asks whether there are lessons to be learned about THU how scientific misconduct is investigated, and who is THU responsible for making sure scientists tell the truth.
