Since then, John has completed two further SAT walking tours, the latest being the "Spine of England" in SAT May 2011 during which he walked with his group the Reluctant SAT Ramblers across the Pennines.

Accompanied by SAT Darren Spratt, Walks Leader with the Chiltern Society, they SAT pass through red kite country and follow ancient footpaths SAT before being joined by Paul Gleeson.

SAT SAT 20:00 Archive on 4 b014m1px (Listen) SAT The Life and Fate of Vasily Grossman SAT SAT Jim Riordan crosses the former Soviet Union to explore the SAT life and fate of Soviet writer Vasily Grossman, author of SAT Life and Fate. Grossman was both a heroic war journalist and SAT post war heretic feared by the state. SAT SAT In 1961 the K.G.B. came not to arrest writer Vasily Grossman SAT but his masterwork, Life & Fate. Its direct comparison of SAT Nazism and Stalinism, set against the terrible battle of SAT Stalingrad, so alarmed the Soviet authorities that they SAT compared it to the threat of Western nuclear weapons, SAT telling him it would not be published SAT for 200 years. The novel would finally be smuggled to the SAT West and published long after Grossman's death in 1964. SAT SAT Jim Riordan goes in search of those who knew Grossman in the SAT war ravaged city of Stalingrad (present day Volgograd), SAT reads Grossman's celebrated war diaries in the Moscow SAT archives and hears from those who smuggled his masterpiece SAT Life and Fate abroad. There it began a new life in the West SAT where it has become increasingly viewed as one of the most SAT significant works of the 20th Century. Reader Ken Cranham. SAT Producer: Mark Burman. SAT SAT 20:45 Vasily Grossman from the Frontline b014m1pz (Listen) SAT The Stalingrad Army SAT SAT Elliot Levey reads the second of Vasily Grossman's front SAT line despatches from the battle of Stalingrad. The SAT Stalingrad Army. Red Star -January 13th 1943. Translated by SAT Jim Riordan. SAT SAT 'How can I convey my feelings at this moment in the dark SAT basement which hadn't surrendered the factory to the enemy?' SAT SAT As the 'special correspondent' for Red Star newspaper Vasily SAT Grossman conveyed the 'ruthless truth of war' from the first SAT disastrous weeks of the Nazi invasion in 1941 to victory in SAT the ruins of Berlin. His intimate portraits of baby faced SAT snipers, taciturn machine gunners and enthusiastic SAT 'tankists' brought home the struggle to both the Soviet SAT people and a wider world. Never more so than during the SAT terrible battle for Stalingrad between July 1942 to February SAT 1943. SAT SAT The whole world was transfixed by a struggle that might SAT determine the course of the war as Hitler's Sixth Army found SAT the early success of late summer turning into disastrous SAT defeat in the icy winter amidst the rubble. Throughout these SAT months of terrible battle Grossman endured countless dangers SAT to cross the river Volga and enter the ruined city. There he SAT would listen & gather material for his detailed portraits SAT for Red Star, stories from those who would most likely die SAT in this pitiless 'war of the rats'. A war in which every SAT cellar and every building became a front line. By January SAT 1943 the desperate defence of the city had shifted as the SAT surviving soldiers of the Red Army sensed a priceless SAT victory. 2: The Stalingrad Army.

SUN SUN 06:35 On Your Farm b014m6qz (Listen) SUN At the start of the 20th century it is estimated that a SUN quarter of a million people left the smog of urban life in SUN cities like Birmingham and London for a few weeks to earn SUN extra cash and piled down to the countryside to pick hops in SUN the September sunshine. The exodus of people was such that SUN whole families would come arrive on specially charted trains SUN and live in makeshift homes, stables and so called hoppers' SUN huts in places like Kent and Hereford. SUN SUN The introduction of mechanisation, consumers changing tastes SUN and crop itself proving to be commercially high risk for SUN farmers meant that just a few decades later the industry has SUN shrunk dramatically. At one time there were 40,000 acres of SUN hops grown in the UK - now there is just 2,500. SUN SUN Charlotte Smith meets farmers and pickers in Kent who are SUN bringing in this years hops harvest.

Instead, "Practice - SUN ritual, meditation, a way of life - is what counts." Central SUN to religion is the power of myth, which still speaks to the SUN contemporary mind. "The idea that science can enable us to SUN live without myths is one of these silly modern stories." In SUN fact, he argues, science has created its own myth, "chief SUN among them the myth of salvation through science....The idea SUN that humans will rise from the dead may be incredible" he SUN says, "but no more so than the notion that humanity can use SUN science to remake the world" SUN Producer: Adele Armstrong.

SUN 'Stillness. Silence. A people has been murdered.' SUN SUN The author of Life and Fate, which begins its dramatization SUN on Radio 4 today, conveyed the 'ruthless truth of war' that SUN revealed itself to the Soviet Union after Nazi invasion in SUN June 1941. This devastating piece was one of the very first SUN articles to describe the results of Nazi genocide as the war SUN still raged. SUN SUN Grossman's own mother would be one of the thousands murdered SUN in his home town of Berdichev which lay in the path of the SUN Nazi's lightning quick advance through the Ukraine. Some one SUN and half million Jewish people lived in these newly SUN conquered areas, nearly all would be shot in what has become SUN known as 'shoa by bullet' SUN SUN Grossman had volunteered for military service partly in SUN reaction to his mother's fate. Instead he found himself SUN assigned as frontline correspondent for the military SUN newspaper Red Star. From the disastrous year of 1941 to SUN final victory in ruined Berlin, Grossman gave the Soviet SUN people a sense of their war. SUN SUN But his attempts to detail the murder of the millions of SUN Jews on Soviet soil would only be met by official silence. SUN As the Red Army began reconquering the occupied lands SUN Grossman travelled with them, recording the empty villages SUN and towns, the mass graves and terrible silence. Ukraine SUN Without Jews was rejected by the military censor & would SUN only appear in the Yiddish newspaper Einkayt in November SUN 1943. The full version, from which this is an extract, would SUN only be rediscovered in the late 1990's and appeared in SUN English earlier this year.

MON MON He hears from men and women struggling to be accepted by MON both their straight and gay friends and relatives before MON dropping in on a support group for bisexual people in MON Birmingham. MON MON Does the extension of LGBT rights really extend to the B in MON the acronym?

MON MON Tom finds an often invisible community struggling to be MON accepted and nervous about being more open. MON MON There's few statistics about the prevalence of bisexuality MON so Tom's trip to Bristol to hear about some new research MON into male bisexuality is rather enlightening. MON MON And what of the media? And what do bisexual women think of MON how they're portrayed?

MON MON 50 years ago nuclear power was getting started and it was MON the Cold War era so uranium was the obvious choice of fuel MON since it produced plutonium which could be used in bombs. MON Today a nuclear fuel that does not produce plutonium might MON be more acceptable. Prof Bob Cywinski of Huddersfield MON University tells Quentin about the different approaches to MON nuclear power based on more abundant, energy dense thorium, MON including his own work using a particle accelerator to MON initiate the nuclear reaction. MON MON Plants to Clean up Explosives MON MON About 1.5% of land in the USA, most of it military training MON areas, is contaminated with explosive residues such as TNT MON and RDX. Dr Liz Rylotte of the York University Centre for MON Novel Agricultural Products has isolated bacteria that can MON break down the residues and inserted genes from them into MON plants that could thrive whilst cleaning up contaminated MON land. MON MON Your Lying Face MON MON Your face might give you away if you are lying according to MON Prof Hassan Ugail of the University of Bradford. His team MON has developed an automated system using heat cameras that MON might one day be adapted for use by security or immigration MON services to help identify potential criminals. He tries it MON out on Quentin and points out that, though not yet very MON accurate, it avoids the need to attach electrodes and so MON might one day be used covertly. MON MON Ethical Tissue MON MON There have been high profile cases where human tissue MON removed during surgery has been stored without permission MON and used for research. Drs Kevin Adams and Susan Boyce of MON Bradford University have found that, if asked, most people MON from most communities are very happy to see tissue that MON would otherwise be discarded getting used for research. They MON take Quentin to their ethical tissue bank and describe how MON material is stored and used. MON MON Artificial Volcanoes to Counter Global Warming MON MON When Mt Pinatubo erupted in 1991, it released sulphate MON aerosol into the upper atmosphere which cooled world MON temperatures for the next two years. There have been MON controversial suggestions that repeating this artificially, MON using 20 km long hoses supported by balloons to release an MON aerosol into the stratosphere, might help to counter global MON warming. But even if the idea is acceptable, there are many MON engineering challenges. Dr Matt Watson of Bristol University MON describes the first stage which will be undertaken in MON Norfolk next month when a balloon will lift a pressure hose MON 1000 m into the air to release, on this occasion, a harmless MON spray of water.

MON MON Young Arthur Haggerston has zero educational qualifications, MON absentee father, a mother who gives him a hard time, and a MON home in a slum-clearance area of Newcastle. In his first job MON as a coal delivery boy he discovers the joy and sadness of MON sex with an older married woman; drawn by his wayward pal MON Nosey into a series of violent encounters with Newcastle MON gangs,he's forced to crawl to Uncle George (deeply corrupt MON foreman and Labour councillor) for manual work on the laying MON of a new sewerage pipe . MON MON Arthur's Ma's lodger (and sometime lover), the philosophical MON Harry, whose career has peaked in a sardine cannery, MON fashions a lesson Arthur will finally understand: don't be a MON sardine, don't swim with the shoal; navigate your own way MON through life.

MON MON Micky's transition from the mean streets of the East End, MON working as a Billingsgate Fish Porter to an entertainer MON living in the leafy lanes of Dulwich is a fascinating story, MON all the better for being told through jokes. The issue of MON class is a crucial theme in Micky's stand up. However it is MON framed less as "Do we now have a classless society?" and MON more as "Is it ok to ask for tomato sauce in a fancy French MON restaurant?"

TUE In this programme Lowri Blake meets the young musicians of TUE the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. Aged between TUE 13 and 19 they give an insight into the musical challenges TUE offered them by the last piece of music that the Austrian TUE composer Gustav Mahler completed - the Adagio from his TUE unfinished 10th symphony. TUE TUE It was a piece composed at the height of a personal crisis TUE in Mahler's life. He had just found out that his wife was TUE having an affair with a young architect, and he was also TUE suffering from a heart condition that would kill him before TUE he could complete the full symphony. TUE TUE Lowri Blake talks to Edward Seckerson about this tumultuous TUE time in the composer's life, how he sought a consultation TUE with the up-and-coming psychiatrist Sigmund Freud, and how TUE his passion for his wife and his despair were etched into TUE the score. The Adagio itself opens quietly but towards the TUE end erupts in a huge outburst of emotion, often described as TUE 'a cry of pain', which the young players, under the baton of TUE their conductor Vasily Petrenko, describe as they face the TUE demanding musical challenge.

WED WED Shut away in a windowless practice room in a regional arts WED centre, music teacher Nigel Penny endures a succession of WED pupils: the middle-aged bachelor with his homemade Moog; the WED six year old trombonist who's arms aren't quite long enough; WED and the female student who's forever in a state of tearful WED crisis and never gets her oboe out - all these and more WED enter Nigel's airless little room. WED WED Nigel also has to contend with the panicked manager of WED Letchington Arts Centre, Belinda, who's continued struggle WED to keep the Arts Centre a going concern impacts bizarrely on WED Nigel's world. WED Nigel suffers from crippling stage fright. He hasn't WED performed in public for years and frankly, he's not looking WED to rectify this. Belinda, however, is. And not because she WED appreciates his rare talent, but mainly because she always WED seems to have some act that's cancelled and needs Nigel to WED fill in. WED WED We are privy to Nigel's thoughts: conversations and musical WED performances are littered with the 'real' Nigel's asides, WED which flit from commenting on what is happening to wandering WED off on a tangent to becoming consumed with the prospect of WED performing again. WED WED Musically, though, the show sounds like no other: WED Accordians; singing dogs; death metal guitar - we hear them WED all. And the entire show takes place in Nigel's tiny, WED windowless room. The claustrophobia is audible. WED WED Episode 1 sees Nigel having to contend with an atonal WED Barbershop Quartet and a depressed orchestral timpanist - WED whilst Belinda is desperate to fill the slot vacated by the WED Gilbert and Sullivan Society.

FRI FRI Every year a small band of retired people establish a FRI make-shift and temporary, but close community. Every day, FRI all day, they pick apples.

FRI FRI However it's hard work - bad backs, scratched arms, and sore FRI feet are the wounds that must be borne.

No such luxury (or destination) for Steve - FRI we gave him a basic campervan, with no electrical 'hook-up'; FRI the use of a microwave in a farm-building, which also houses FRI the showers and loos. FRI FRI He was cold at night (trekking socks a necessity in bed, FRI even in August), he got a little sick of microwave meals, FRI but he enjoyed meeting the other pickers, appreciating what FRI they meant by 'getting into the zone' of apple picking: FRI reach... pick... put in bucket... reach... pick... put in FRI bucket... almost - as Steve said - like a form of FRI meditation.
