SAT SAT 15:30 Cerys Matthews' Blue Horizon b01jqjl7 (Listen) SAT Among Cerys Matthews' landmark musical memories is a very SAT sunny summer Sunday afternoon in 2009. It was the day that, SAT browsing albums in Portobello Market, she parted with �70 SAT and took home a rare copy of Fleetwood Mac's Sweet Pious SAT Bird of Youth. She played it over and over again. She was SAT hooked. SAT SAT Since that day Cerys has fed her addiction to Blue Horizon SAT records and has sought out and amassed a valuable collection SAT of her own. She is passionately enthusiastic about these SAT gems of recordings that are almost too precious to play. SAT SAT The Blue Horizon record label linked the roots of the blues SAT in the US with the UK blues scene of the 60s. It was the SAT home of American blues artists Champion Jack Dupree, Bukka SAT White, Mississippi Joe Callicot and Furry Lewis, Eddie Boyd, SAT Otis Spann, Ainsley Dunbar, Elmore James but also of the SAT British blues artists Chickenshack and Fleetwood Mac. SAT SAT Label founder Mike Vernon also invented the blues sound we SAT still hear today. In 1966, he produced the Blues Breakers SAT with Eric Clapton, considered one of the most influential SAT British blues recordings. It was notable for its driving SAT rhythms and Clapton's rapid blues licks with a full SAT distorted sound derived from a Gibson Les Paul and a SAT Marshall amp. This became something of a classic combination SAT for British blues guitarists. SAT SAT In the programme, Cerys talks to Mike Vernon about his SAT passion for the blues and how he left the old-school Decca SAT Record company to strike out on his own. Artists from Blue SAT Horizon's roster, including former members of The Yardbirds, SAT Fleetwood Mac and Chickenshack reflect on the part Blue SAT Horizon played in their careers and establishing the SAT credibility of Britain as a home for the blues.

SUN SUN In this talk, he ponders exactly what it is that makes their SUN music endure. Why is it, he asks, that one of the things SUN people never say is "I don't like the Beatles". For his SUN children, he says, "the Beatles are as uncontroversial as SUN the moon. Just there, shining on".

SUN Jonny Robinson explains how the British Library is saving SUN such conversations for posterity. SUN SUN The Listening Project is a new initiative for Radio 4 that SUN aims to offer a snapshot of contemporary Britain in which SUN people across the UK volunteer to have a conversation with SUN someone close to them about a subject they've never SUN discussed intimately before. The conversations are being SUN gathered across the UK by teams of producers from local and SUN national radio stations who facilitate each encounter. Every SUN conversation - they're not BBC interviews, and that's an SUN important difference - lasts up to an hour, and is then SUN edited to extract the key moment of connection between the SUN participants. Many of the long conversations are being SUN archived by the British Library which they will use to build SUN up a collection of voices capturing a unique portrait of the SUN UK in the second decade of the millennium.

SUN SUN Through a fresh contemporary translation working with SUN Biblical historians, the reverberations in these texts throw SUN an interesting light on current events in the same part of SUN the world. SUN SUN Jeremiah Peter Hamilton-Dyer SUN Rachel Gillian Kearney SUN Pashur Russell Dixon SUN Nathan Tom Ferguson SUN Zedekiah David Seddon SUN Thomas Henry Devas SUN Samuel Patrick Lally SUN Ana Deborah McAndrew SUN SUN A powerful story of the horrific destruction of a once great SUN city, and the love story of a couple who find hope and SUN solace in each other offering two very different SUN perspectives on the days leading up to the destruction of SUN Jerusalem by the Babylonian armies in 587 BC. SUN SUN Set in the middle east, this poetry of violence, heat, SUN passion and vengeance has clear resonance with the SUN intractable cycle of violence - and the survival of love - SUN in that same part of the world 2500 years on. The themes and SUN wisdom of 'Song of Songs' and 'Lamentations' have never been SUN more current or more apposite. SUN SUN The two episodes mesh together to form a single drama SUN looking at the same last days of Jerusalem from two very SUN different perspectives. SUN SUN Seen through the eyes of Jeremiah, the troubled prophet. SUN Crippled by poverty and oppression, Jerusalem's streets are SUN buzzing with talk of revolution. King Zedekiah needs a grand SUN gesture to hold on to power. His advisers are urging him to SUN raise an army to overthrow the Babylonians, but there is one SUN siren voice against an uprising - Jeremiah. So Zedekiah has SUN him arrested.

SUN SUN In Scotland the waiting time data has been called into SUN question after a hospital trust was exposed for manipulating SUN the figures in order to hit its targets. There's now an SUN investigation to see if the practice has become widespread.

SUN SUN Published in 1909, Sailors' Knots is an anthology of comic SUN stories set around London and the Thames Estuary at the turn SUN of the last century. The 'knots' are the various mix-ups SUN that occur between sailors on shore leave and the local SUN residents. The tales are great fun, full of entertaining SUN characters (with names like Silas Winch, Sam Small and SUN Ginger Dick) and often deal with marital spats, SUN misunderstandings, and rascals getting their just rewards. SUN SUN In this second episode, Mark Williams reads the story of SUN Bill Buttenshaw, who is put off drink for life by the SUN terrifying ghost of an old shipmate. SUN SUN W.W. Jacobs is best known for his horror story, The Monkey's SUN Paw (1902), but the majority of his writing is comic. He was SUN born in Wapping in 1863, where his father was wharf manager SUN at the South Devon Wharf at Lower East Smithfield, and his SUN early observation of merchant ships and the behaviour of SUN their crews informed his many humorous tales. SUN SUN Mark Williams is well-known as one of the stars of BBC TV's SUN The Fast Show ("Suits you, sir..!!") and for the role of Ron SUN Weasley's father in the Harry Potter films.

MON MON 11:00 Habana: The Children of the Spanish Civil War MON b01jwjw0 (Listen) MON This year marks the 75th anniversary of the evacuation by MON sea of 4,000 child refugees from the port of Bilbao during MON the Spanish Civil War. MON MON A great and heart-warming story of how British people MON welcomed the Spanish children, and strived to make a MON difference during that conflict, told through the MON experiences of the refugees and their own children living in MON the UK today. MON MON On May 21st 1937, 4,000 child refugees were evacuated to the MON UK on the ship Habana to escape the bombs and fighting MON around Bilbao. After much shameful prevarication by a MON British Government keen to appease burgeoning fascist powers MON in Europe, action was secured by pressure from British MON Socialists and other groups following the criminal carpet MON bombing of Guernica by the German Condor Legion. MON MON However, parents were not allowed to travel with their MON children and in consoling their departing children, mothers MON on the quayside told them it was 'solo por tres meses' - MON 'only for three months'. For some it was actually ten years; MON others never returned to Spain. Around 400 remained in the MON UK, largely because the authorities could find no trace of MON any living relatives back home. MON MON The refugees who stayed in the UK, and their families, MON remain a tightly knit group. Many married within their own MON community or married other Spaniards. The way they brought MON their children up was heavily influenced by their own trauma MON of being sent away at such a young age. Through continuing MON close contact, they kept their identity and memories of the MON Spanish Civil War very much alive.

MON MON In exploring the 'riddle of existence', Richard Holloway MON uses the American poet Emily Dickinson as a bridge between MON 19th and 20th Century thinking. He draws from her poem MON sequence 'The World is Not Conclusion' to suggest that there MON is no objective 'point of view from which we can observe the MON whole mystery of the universe'. MON MON He talks to Sir Anthony Kenny, literary executor and MON biographer of the 20th Century philosopher Ludwig MON Wittgenstein, about Wittgenstein's view that 'even when all MON possible scientific questions are answered, the problems of MON life have still not been touched at all'. In response, Kenny MON offers a rare poem by Wittgenstein.

For the last 28 years, Forced MON Entertainment has built its shows around the same core group MON of six actors, working together under the guidance of MON artistic director, writer and visual artist Tim Etchells. MON Their productions are unconventional - somewhere between MON performance art, drama and dark comedy. 2010's The Thrill of MON It All, for instance, included deranged dancing girls, MON derelict comedians, and a soundtrack of Japanese lounge MON music, whereas another recent production Void Story, is a MON combination of radio play and graphic novel. Since the MON company started out in post-punk 1980s Sheffield, they have MON regularly impressed critics and audiences. And unusually for MON a British theatre company, they are also popular and MON recognised critically in Europe, partly because of their MON visceral, physical humour, and partly because of their MON risk-taking strategies. As the programme reveals, Forced MON Entertainment "evolve" a script by improvising it over a MON long series of workshop sessions, which the group have MON agreed to us recording. In this programme, Dickinson also MON follows the company to their co-producing venue, PACT MON Zollverein at Essen in Germany, where The Coming Storm MON receives its world premiere, prior to its first UK showing MON on June 19 at Battersea Arts Centre, as part of LIFT 2012 MON and London 2012 Festival.

MON MON In July 1944 the crew of a Junkers JU88 night fighter, lost MON and without fuel, emergency landed their plane on an RAF MON airfield in Suffolk. This gift from the skies provided MON British Air Intelligence with the latest German radar MON secrets. Throughout the war a technological see-saw had been MON underway with each side trying to gain the the advantage in MON radar detection and evasion equipment. The radar technology MON in this particular night fighter explained why large numbers MON of British bombers were being shot down from the rear and MON the RAF aircraft were quickly modified as a result. MON MON Alongside distinguished historians and veterans of RAF MON Bomber Command Michael pieces together the story of that MON fateful night.

Little MON wonder: the country always tops the global charts for MON happiness and social cohesion; its economy is dynamic and MON its deficit is low. MON MON In this week's Analysis, Jo Fidgen investigates the "Swedish MON model" and the British obsession with it. She finds the MON country is more conservative than people think, with its MON centre-right government's generous welfare state depending MON on very traditional notions of trust and social cohesion. At MON the root of Swedish conservativism is what the experts call MON a "Swedish theory of love" - in which the state is seen as MON the defender of the individual. Could this idea ever work MON for Britain? Sweden has provided a blue-print for David MON Cameron's Conservatives and their "Big Society" reforms, but MON many in Sweden argue that they are being misunderstood by MON Britain's Tories. Jo also looks at how, as Sweden struggles MON to become more multicultural, the "Swedish model" itself may MON in fact be unravelling. MON MON Producer: Mukul Devichand.

In a lecture delivered at the London School of TUE Economics and Political Science, he says that a society TUE governed by abstract, impersonal rules will become richer TUE than one ruled by personal relationships. The rule of law is TUE crucial to the creation of a modern economy and its early TUE adoption is the reason why Western nations grew so powerful TUE in the modern age. TUE TUE But are the institutions of the West now degenerating? TUE Professor Ferguson asks whether the democratic system has a TUE fatal flaw at its heart. In the West young people are TUE confronting the fact that they must live with the huge TUE financial debt generated by their parents, something they TUE had no control over despite the fact that they were born TUE into a democracy.

Milne from the 1920s, but who wrote the original music? TUE In their day the songs were as much a part of the Milne TUE success as the famous E.H. Shepard illustrations. Time, TUE Disney and changing fashions have seen to it that the TUE majority of these pieces have been all but forgotten, along TUE with the man who set them to music. There are sixty-seven TUE songs in all, from the verses in When We Were Very Young and TUE Now We Are Six, and The Hums of Pooh are from the TUE Winnie-the-Pooh stories. Their composer was Harold TUE Fraser-Simson, whose reputation was made by a hit West End TUE musical in 1917 called The Maid of the Mountains, though he TUE was partly chosen by Milne because he lived across the TUE street in Chelsea and belonged to the Garrick Club. TUE When pianist John Kember first found the music on a friend's TUE piano, he was so struck with it that he scoured the world TUE for the scores to gather in all of the songs, which haven't TUE yet been compiled into a full collection. With baritone TUE Richard Burkhard John performs his favourites, follows the TUE fortunes of some of the songs and hopes that the time might TUE be ripe for another revival.

Holloway suggests that doubt and disloyalty help TUE 'keep our most cherished institutions open to change and TUE renewal'. It's a view supported by Joyce and Greene who TUE challenged the Catholic notion of Hell and its 'eternal TUE repetition'. But for Waugh, it was the very idea of TUE changelessness and stability that attracted him to TUE Catholicism. Holloway talks to Revd. Prof. David Jasper from TUE Glasgow University about how this theme plays out in Waugh's TUE work, while Graham Greene tells us himself why doubt and TUE disloyalty are essential roles for the writer.

Vicki TUE and Johnnie had an all-consuming affair, decades ago. He was TUE 22, she was 30. Then, prejudices about politics, age and TUE gender shattered a deep and passionate love. Johnnie left TUE for England, shunning Apartheid and, candidly, furthering TUE his career. Now - crying, laughing, raging, teasing - they TUE revisit their earlier lives and their unrecognisable city in TUE a country, South Africa, with its own unfinished story. TUE TUE Johnnie's decision to leave came at a time when the troubles TUE had deeply affected his own family - his father was TUE murdered.

TUE TUE 21:30 In Living Memory b013fj17 (Listen) TUE Series 14, Episode 4 TUE TUE In 1974 an provincial orchestra sold out the Albert Hall. TUE But this was no ordinary band - it was the Portsmouth TUE Sinfonia, billed as the "world's worst orchestra". In its TUE ranks were some distinguished musicians, including Brian TUE Eno, Michael Nyman and the composer Gavin Bryars. But under TUE the rules of the orchestra they had to play an instrument TUE they were unfamiliar with. Alongside them were amateurs with TUE no musical ability whatsoever. The conductor knew nothing of TUE conducting but had studied pictures of Herbert von Karajan. TUE TUE The Portsmouth Sinfonia played light classics and rock TUE arrangements, and the familiar tunes were just discernable TUE through the miasma of wrong notes and unforced errors. It TUE enraged some in the musical establishment who felt they were TUE murdering good music, but got huge national attention, TUE appearing regularly on TV programmes and in the newspapers, TUE thanks in part to the fact that the orchestra signed a deal TUE with a record company with a flair for publicity. Brian Eno TUE was the producer of its first records. TUE TUE The orchestra had been founded by Gavin Bryars while he was TUE a lecturer at the Portsmouth College of Art, and most of the TUE original members were art students. So was it all an art TUE school prank? By no means, say former members. It was an TUE important contribution to the experimental music scene. TUE Michael Nyman says it was hugely influential on his own TUE work. Some people have claimed that the orchestra was a TUE precursor of the punk movement. Others say that's nonsense. TUE TUE The orchestra never formally disbanded but stopped live TUE performances in 1979. Portsmouth Sinfonia's recordings have TUE never been re-released on CD and the vinyl recordings are TUE collectors' items. In this programme Jolyon Jenkins talks to TUE key former members of the orchestra, gives listeners the TUE chance to savour those classic recordings, and tries to work TUE out whether the Portsmouth Sinfonia had any artistic merit TUE whatsoever.

Then is he impotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then WED is he malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Whence then WED is evil?" WED WED Holloway continues into the 20th Century, focussing on the WED work of the Jewish poet and Holocaust survivor Paul Celan, WED and the French Resistance writer Andre Schwartz-Bart.

THU THU Today, the name Brian Johnston is largely remembered for THU Test Match Special and Down your Way. However as both of THU these programmes happened after he retired as a BBC staff THU member in 1972 they have overshadowed a fascinating THU television and radio career starting in the late forties. THU THU In those early years Brian's BBC contract was marked 'SNF' - THU 'Staff No Fee'. This meant he could be booked by any BBC THU radio or TV programme for no extra fee because he was on a THU salary. It is these fascinating engagements which will be THU explored in this programme. THU THU On In Town Tonight he rode bareback on a circus horse, was THU attacked by a police dog, busked in the street, was shaved THU onstage by the Crazy Gang and hid inside a pillar box. He THU commentated on King George VI's funeral, the Coronation, the THU Boat Race, the Festival of Britain and the Monte Carlo Rally THU - as well as appearing on Hancock's Half Hour, quizzes, THU children's TV and much more. THU THU Brian's interview list includes such names as Field Marshall THU Montgomery, Bernard Delfont, Donald Campbell, Donald THU Bradman, Bobby Charlton and Henry Cooper. THU THU His son and presenter of this programme Barry Johnston has THU been collecting and preserving archive clips along with his THU father's own scrapbooks and press cuttings and we will hear THU recordings from the great man himself along with gaining a THU unique insight into a slice of broadcasting history.

To mark the Diamond THU Jubilee, James Naughtie examines the lives and impact of the THU men and women who have given the second Elizabethan age its THU character. THU THU Alfred Hitchcock dealt in terror, obsession, and above all, THU suspense. He directed the first British talkie, fittingly THU called Blackmail, and in a career spanning half a century THU developed an unmistakeable cinematic style, often copied but THU seldom equalled. He is without doubt one of the most THU influential British film directors and his voyeuristic use THU of the camera and the screams of his vulnerable blonde THU heroines have resonated with film goers down the ages. THU Psycho is probably his most famous work, and a strong THU contender for best known horror film of all time but he also THU made Dial M for Murder, North by Northwest, the 39 Steps and THU The Birds. THU THU The New Elizabethans have been chosen by a panel of leading THU historians, chaired by Lord (Tony) Hall, Chief Executive of THU London's Royal Opera House.

THU THU 13:45 Honest Doubt: The History of an Epic Struggle THU b01jxtdp (Listen) THU On Presence and Absence THU THU In today's programme, Richard Holloway focuses on an THU enduring paradox in the story of doubt: that God can be THU experienced both as present and absent at the same time. He THU explores the idea with the help of three post-war poets - THU Philip Larkin, John Betjeman and RS Thomas. THU THU He talks to Larkin's friend and literary executor, Sir THU Andrew Motion, about Larkin's complex attitude to religion THU and reads from Larkin's seminal poem 'Aubade'. Larkin THU himself introduces his poem, 'Churchgoing', which expresses THU the nostalgia of what we lose when we lose our faith. THU THU John Betjeman's religious struggle is discussed with THU Betjeman's biographer AN Wilson. And for the Welsh priest THU poet RS Thomas, the theme of God's absence and presence is THU compared to finding a dead hare on the hillside - 'we find THU the place still warm with his presence, but he is absent'.

Akbar Khan's FRI other son, Wisal, is disappointed to learn that young FRI Zarlakhta is being withdrawn from the household because she FRI is too mature to work where there are young men.

FRI FRI 11:00 United Irishmen b01jxvnx (Listen) FRI Tim Brannigan was the only black son in a family of five FRI boys, the only black kid in his school and, for many years, FRI in his world. Born in West Belfast, the result of an affair FRI his mother had with an African doctor, Tim fought hard to FRI blend in. FRI FRI Northern Ireland may have a history of 'us and them' but in FRI this case it wasn't catholic or protestant - it was Tim in a FRI class of his own. FRI FRI Brought up in a republican family on the Falls Road his FRI credentials as an Irishman are solid, yet he is constantly FRI asked where he is from. When he says Belfast, he is FRI invariably asked where he is REALLY from. FRI FRI The conflict of the last 40 years means some social changes FRI that took place in the rest of the UK simply didn't happen FRI in Northern Ireland. As different ethnic groups moved in to FRI England and parts of Scotland and Wales, few moved over the FRI Irish sea and those who did mostly went south of the border. FRI FRI In the 2001 census Northern Ireland's population was 99.15% FRI white. The expectation is that that figure will change quite FRI radically in the 2011 results. Northern Ireland already FRI looks very different. But what kind of reception is it FRI offering? FRI FRI Tim talks to Joseph and Lisa. Both are black and have made FRI Northern Ireland their home for decades, but not without FRI some struggle. Lisa has four boys with her Northern Irish FRI husband. What identity will they be allowed to choose for FRI themselves? FRI FRI There's a lot of talk about a 'shared society' but Tim FRI considers the reality in Northern Ireland is that housing FRI and schooling are still segregated along catholic and FRI protestant lines. Anyone outside those two confines exists FRI in a kind of social limbo. Tim and others like him are a FRI challenge to these boundaries.

FRI FRI 11:30 Births, Deaths and Marriages b01jxvnz (Listen) FRI Episode 5 FRI FRI In this episode, Malcolm loses his registrar mojo when his FRI ex-girlfriend Emma comes into the office to register her FRI marriage while Lorna tries to introduce themed weddings. FRI FRI 'Births, Deaths and Marriages' is a brand new sitcom set in FRI a Local Authority Register Office where the staff deal with FRI the three greatest events in anybody's life. FRI FRI Written by David Schneider ('The Day Today', 'I'm Alan FRI Partridge'), he stars as chief registrar Malcolm Fox who is FRI a stickler for rules and would be willing to interrupt any FRI wedding service if the width of the bride infringes health FRI and safety. He's unmarried but why does he need to be? He's FRI married thousands of women. FRI FRI Alongside him are rival and divorcee Lorna who has been FRI parachuted in from Car Parks to drag the office (and FRI Malcolm) into the 21st century. To her marriage isn't just FRI about love and romance, it's got to be about making a profit FRI in our new age of austerity. FRI FRI There's also the ever spiky Mary, geeky Luke who's worried FRI he'll end up like Malcolm one day while ditzy Anita may get FRI her words and names mixed up occasionally but as the only FRI parent in the office, she's a mother to them all.

To mark the Diamond FRI Jubilee, James Naughtie examines the lives and impact of the FRI men and women who have given the second Elizabethan age its FRI character. FRI FRI Laurence Olivier is considered by many to be Britain's most FRI important and revered actor of the 20th century. Most famous FRI for his classical roles, as a Shakespearean actor of breadth FRI and panache, and as the driving force behind the development FRI of the National Theatre, his later film career included FRI roles such as the sadistic Nazi dentist in Marathon Man, FRI with Dustin Hoffman, and in Sleuth with Michael Caine. FRI FRI Olivier's private life and his three marriages were equally FRI fascinating to his audiences, and particularly the great FRI romance played out in public with Vivien Leigh, who he FRI directed in many films and co-starred with in others. FRI Olivier is one of only a handful of actors whose final FRI resting place is Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey, London. FRI FRI The New Elizabethans have been chosen by a panel of leading FRI historians, chaired by Lord (Tony) Hall, Chief Executive of FRI London's Royal Opera House. The panellists were Dominic FRI Sandbrook, Bamber Gascoigne, Sally Alexander, Jonathan Agar, FRI Maria Misra and Sir Max Hastings. FRI FRI Producer: James Cook.

Author and FRI former Bishop of Edinburgh, Richard Holloway focuses on the FRI Judeo-Christian tradition as he takes the listener from the FRI birth of religious thinking, through the Old and New FRI Testaments, to the developments in subsequent centuries and FRI their influence on thinkers and writers, up to the present FRI day. FRI FRI Summing up the journey he has undertaken over the previous FRI four weeks, Richard describes the 'human animal' as 'a FRI riddle': 'Whence came our creations, our amazing FRI discoveries? How did all this meaning, all this purpose, all FRI this beauty, emerge from the void?' He concedes that there FRI are 'neither negative nor positive conclusions about the FRI mystery that besets us' but accepts that our moments will be FRI lost 'like tears in the rain'. FRI FRI Talking to him about that mystery are the writer and FRI psychoanalyst Adam Phillips, the theologian and author FRI Professor Don Cupitt, and the poet Sir Andrew Motion.

Claude FRI is a cynical travel writer unimpressed by everything he FRI sees. Merry is an American on a modern version of the Grand FRI Tour, visiting the great sights of Egypt with her parents. FRI Circumstances throw them together and both surprise FRI themselves by discovering that despite the worlds that FRI separate them they might have growing feelings for each FRI other. Meanwhile the streets of Cairo are erupting into FRI angry life with protestors and government troops clashing. FRI Claude is resolutely disengaged until he find himself caught FRI in the crowd. The things he sees makes him realise he has FRI stood on the sidelines of life for too long. But is it too FRI late to do anything about it.

In the FRI final omnibus edition, he focuses on writers and thinkers of FRI the 20th and 21st Centuries. FRI FRI He talks to Sir Anthony Kenny, literary executor and FRI biographer of the Austrian philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, FRI about Wittgenstein's view that 'even when all possible FRI scientific questions are answered, the problems of life have FRI still not been touched at all'. In response, Kenny offers a FRI rare poem by Wittgenstein, and Holloway charts the debate to FRI the present day citing the ideas of Richard Dawkins and FRI Roger Scruton. FRI FRI He explores the work of three inter-war writers - James FRI Joyce, Evelyn Waugh and Graham Greene and their contrasting FRI views on the role of doubt and disloyalty before moving on FRI to the literature of the Holocaust which aims to 'say the FRI unsayable' and throw light on one of the biggest questions FRI in the story of doubt: how can we reconcile the idea of God FRI when there's so much suffering in the world? FRI FRI Holloway tackles the paradox that God can be experienced as FRI both a presence and an absence, discussing the work of three FRI post-war poets - Philip Larkin, John Betjeman and RS Thomas FRI - with the help of Larkin's friend and literary executor, FRI Sir Andrew Motion, Betjeman's biographer AN Wilson and an FRI archive recording of R S Thomas himself. Holloway concludes FRI that we 'can reach neither negative nor positive conclusions FRI about the mystery that besets us.'
