SAT SAT The brutal murder of the Reverend George Parker in the rural SAT village of Oddingley on Midsummer's Day in 1806 gripped the SAT nation.

SAT SAT Prog 6 - Whitley Bay with Barry Stone SAT SAT In this week's programme Clare Balding meets author Barry SAT Stone, his partner Paul and their dog, Bonzo the black Lab. SAT SAT Barry's childhood was coloured by the secret of his father's SAT homosexuality and alcoholism; both parents had been SAT traumatised by their experiences during the second world war SAT and Barry had a deep personal struggle in coming to terms SAT with his own sexuality. SAT SAT Over the years he attempted to write his story - eventually SAT burning one manuscript of 300,000 words - and it was only at SAT his mother's funeral that he was struck by the need to write SAT through the 'voice' of Brucie (his childhood pet dog). The SAT resulting book, a semi-autobiographical novel called SAT 'Barking at Winston' was initially self-published with local SAT distribution but was quickly picked up commercially and is SAT now selling successfully around the country. SAT SAT Barry and Paul take Clare on a favourite local walk through SAT Whitley Bay to the village of Holywell. Starting at Barry's SAT childhood home, the place where Brucie first came into his SAT life, they head down to the beach and then the promenade of SAT Whitley Bay sea-front. From there they turn inland and walk SAT through Holywell Dene - a beautiful and peaceful area of SAT ancient woodland - before heading home. SAT SAT Producer Karen Gregor.

When the local mine's SAT manager is found dead, the murder investigation begins to SAT expose the tensions and secrets of this close knit SAT community. SAT SAT Paul Rhys stars in a new adaptation of Menna Gallie's SAT classic novel. First published in 1959, Strike for a Kingdom SAT was Menna Gallie's first book. Menna grew up in a small SAT village in the Swansea valley which serves as a template for SAT the fictional Cilhendre. She was six at the time of the SAT miner's strike, though deeply affected by its impact on her SAT community. SAT SAT Strike for a Kingdom is two things: It's a darkly engrossing SAT murder mystery that keeps you guessing until the end. But SAT it's also a beautifully poetic evocation of a close knit SAT community struggling to survive in a world of extreme SAT poverty. SAT SAT DJ Williams .. Paul Rhys SAT The Inspector ..

SAT SAT Barry is a vivid raconteur and recounted the first decade of SAT his career, from fledgling pop musician and producer to SAT Oscar winning-composer. He also gave me some rare insights SAT into his song writing craft. SAT SAT He talked fondly about his early days with his instrumental SAT group The John Barry Seven, his recordings with Adam Faith, SAT the first venture into film and his remarkable recordings on SAT the James Bond movies. With the success of Goldfinger in SAT 1964, barely a week seemed to go by without John receiving a SAT new film commission. It was a prolific time for him and, SAT over the next two years, his scores included Thunderball, SAT Richard Lester's The Knack and The Ipcress File starring a SAT young Michael Caine. The pair became firm friends. SAT SAT John's Oscar winning score for Born Free made him an SAT international figure and the royal screening of the film saw SAT a leading British actor 'throw a fit' when upstaged in front SAT of the Royal family.

He arrived in Westminster SAT as a Liberal but soon his party voted for a merger with the SAT SDP. He led the newly named Liberal Democrats for 11 years SAT and then worked in Bosnia, trying to repair the damage that SAT the war had done. SAT SAT In this interview he meets his younger self at key moments SAT from the sound archive and discusses his reactions with John SAT Wilson.

SAT SAT Set in the middle east, this poetry of violence, heat, SAT passion and vengeance has clear resonance with the SAT intractable cycle of violence - and the survival of love - SAT in that same part of the world 2500 years on. The themes and SAT wisdom of 'Song of Songs' and 'Lamentations' have never been SAT more current or more apposite.

SAT But she has another motive. SAT SAT She is meeting a man nearby, one of the King's own SAT ministers. Love between a minister and a servant is SAT impossible. Nonetheless they flirt and entice each other, in SAT the poetry of the Song of Songs. SAT SAT Day by day, pressure mounts on the King. The people want SAT revolution against the Babylonians, but Jeremiah the SAT prophet's warnings are unsettling him. SAT SAT The impossible love of the couple in Song of Songs becomes SAT an elegy for the city and its people.

SUN SUN Instead, he says, we should all be worried about the very SUN high levels of persistent unemployment amongst the 'let-down SUN generation' who were failed by poor education between the SUN seventies and nineties. Teaching them the lessons of being SUN in work, he argues, would not only benefit them, but their SUN children, too. SUN SUN And he believes that to make a meaningful impact in these SUN unemployed people's lives, we should stop developing skills SUN for jobs which often do not exist, and instead focus on SUN creating real jobs where they live.

SUN SUN 06:05 Something Understood b01k9m9z (Listen) SUN Prayer Before a Five Pound Note SUN SUN Money occupies a central position in the lives of people SUN around the world - no matter the culture or currency. And SUN yet few of us ever pause in our earning and spending to SUN consider what is it's real role within our society? What is SUN its weight in our lives? In this edition of Something SUN Understood, Mark Tully explores our human relationship with SUN money and asks, given its immense power, what should be our SUN Prayer Before a Five Pound Note? SUN SUN We hear readings from a broad range of writers, with all SUN sorts of view points on money, from Christian activist SUN Monica Furlong to publishing magnate and poet Felix Dennis. SUN Music includes Michael Head's exaltation of poverty, "Money SUN O!" and JJ Cale's "Money Talks". SUN SUN Mark speaks to Professor Jacob Needleman, who believes most SUN people ignore the spiritual implication of money in their SUN day to day lives, and do so at their peril. This is a SUN strange attitude to take towards something which has such a SUN singular power over us, as shown by Jacob's own experiments, SUN in which he attempts to hand a five dollar bill to strangers SUN in the streets. Their reactions, and his own feelings on SUN giving away money in this way, reveal great deal about our SUN often fraught interactions with it. SUN SUN It seems that humanity teeters between the obsessive pursuit SUN of money and often futile attempts to rid themselves of it. SUN Perhaps the most productive way to engage with it is to SUN abandon those two extremes and instead use it as a mirror to SUN show us ourselves - the way we spend reveals our priorities SUN in often surprising ways. Should our prayer before a five SUN pound note be "please, help me to understand myself"? SUN SUN Producer: Hannah Marshall SUN A Loftus production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN 06:35 On Your Farm b01k9n7n (Listen) SUN For this week's On Your Farm, Chris Packham is in a place SUN very close to his heart, The New Forest. SUN SUN Commoners have been allowed to graze their livestock in the SUN New Forest since medieval times but now this could be under SUN threat. According to Natural England fewer and fewer young SUN people are becoming commoners. One factor is the high price SUN of land, which is necessary to provide a base for livestock. SUN SUN Without commoners grazing the land, many argue that a much SUN loved landscape will change. Chris Packham investigates what SUN the obstacles are in becoming a young commoner and the SUN impact having fewer commoners could have on the New Forest. SUN SUN Presented by Chris Packham.

SUN SUN He writes: "A German friend once complained to me that SUN educated Westerners often know far more about the German SUN government in those five years of war than they do about all SUN German governments in the sixty years of subsequent peace". SUN SUN Adam quotes a principle frequently used during internet SUN discussions called "Godwin's Law". It states that "As an SUN online discussion grows longer, the probability of a SUN comparison involving Nazis or Hitler gets greater". Godwin's SUN conclusion - broadly speaking - is that we should not SUN mention the war. SUN SUN But Adam proposes what he calls "Gopnik's Amendment". "When SUN we see the three serpents of militarism, nationalism and SUN hatred of difference we should never be afraid to call them SUN out, loudly, by name and remind ourselves and other people, SUN even more loudly still, of exactly what they have made SUN happen in the past".

They worked together to design SUN Maggie's Centres - a series of practical and SUN beautifully-designed buildings to give information and SUN support to people with cancer. SUN SUN He says: "When you have cancer, there's many things which SUN you have to do aside from the struggle - it's not just a SUN medical problem, it's a social problem - of how you tell the SUN children, how you tell your boss - and above all, as Maggie SUN said, it's not to lose the joy of living."

Regulars Barry Cryer and Tim Brooke-Taylor are SUN joined on the panel by Tony Hawks and Jeremy Hardy, with SUN Jack Dee as the programme's reluctant chairman. Regular SUN listeners will know to expect inspired nonsense, pointless SUN revelry and Colin Sell at the piano. Producer - Jon SUN Naismith. SUN SUN 12:32 Food Programme b01k9n83 (Listen) SUN The Future of the Cookbook SUN SUN With digital publishing evolving at a blistering pace, SUN Sheila Dillon investigates the future of the printed cookery SUN book. SUN SUN Andrew Webb is a food journalist whose work spans the online SUN and printed worlds. He is the author of 'Food Britannia', SUN which just scooped the Guild of Food Writers award for Food SUN Book of the Year, and also edits a food website. To find out SUN where things are moving in the world of the food book, The SUN Food Programme sent him to meet five key players in the SUN world of food, books and publishing. SUN SUN Antony Topping is a literary agent, whose clients include SUN Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall and Thomasina Miers. Mary-Clare SUN Jerram is a Publishing Director at Dorling Kindersley, SUN looking after both digital and print editions. Ian Malone SUN runs a company specialising in food apps for phones and SUN tablets. SUN SUN Andrew also meets Dr Peter Ross, Principal Librarian at the SUN Guildhall Library, home to the largest collection of food SUN books in any UK public library - and lastly, Hardeep Singh SUN Kohli is a broadcaster, author and is passionate about food. SUN SUN Sheila is joined in the studio by Neill Denny, SUN Editor-in-Chief of the book industry magazine 'The SUN Bookseller', Kerstin Rodgers - aka MsMarmitelover - food SUN blogger and pop-up restaurant pioneer, and Ben Ebbrell, who SUN cooks and presents on the Sorted food site.

SUN SUN 13:30 The Frock and the Church b01k9n87 (Listen) SUN When it meets in July 2012, the General Synod of the Church SUN of England will be voting on legislation that paves the way SUN for the ordination of women bishops. If it is approved, the SUN first female bishops could start to practice in 2014, twenty SUN years after the first women were ordained in Bristol as SUN Church of England priests. But it may be rejected or SUN deferred. Whatever the outcome, the move threatens chaos for SUN a church that is struggling with other modern day issues SUN such as same sex marriage. SUN SUN Several bishops have already resigned over the prospect of SUN their counterparts becoming female. Meanwhile, the Bishop of SUN Gloucester said in May, "the worst possible outcome would be SUN for the legislation to go down at final approval in July. SUN There would be a haemorrhaging of women from the Church." SUN SUN This is one of the biggest challenges facing this long SUN standing institution, so how will it cope? SUN SUN To find out, Charlotte Smith walks the Pilgrim's Way from SUN Winchester Cathedral to Canterbury, visiting churches, SUN vicars and congregations, and asking key players in the SUN Church whether it can accept women into its upper echelons SUN and how it will resolve its differences - if at all. SUN SUN Among those she talks to are Rev Martyn Neale, vicar of Holy SUN Trinity, in Blackwater; April Alexander, member of the House SUN of Laity in the General Synod; Andrea Trevenna, Bible SUN Teacher for Women at St Nicholas Church in Sevenoaks; the SUN Bishop of Buckingham, Rt Rev Alan Wilson; and Rev Claire SUN Edwards, Canon at Canterbury Cathedral. From them she gains SUN an understanding of how wide the divide is between those who SUN can and those who cannot accept female bishops, yet is SUN struck by how they all wish to remain in a church that has SUN long accommodated a broad range of beliefs, but may not be SUN able to this time. SUN SUN 14:00 Gardeners' Question Time b01k2f87 (Listen) SUN Garden for the Games, Olympic Park, Stratford SUN SUN Eric Robson and the panel meet a London audience at the SUN Olympic Aquatic Centre, Stratford. SUN We revisit the Olympic Park one final time before the doors SUN are thrown open to the public. SUN SUN Produced by Howard Shannon SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN 14:45 Witness b01k9npb (Listen) SUN Greensboro Lunch Counter Sit-In SUN SUN Franklin McCain was one of four young black men asked to be SUN served at a 'whites-only' lunch counter in a branch of SUN Woolworths in Greensboro North Carolina in 1960. What SUN happened next would change America. In this edition of SUN Witness, Franklin McCain speaks to Alan Johnston. SUN SUN 15:00 Classic Serial b01k9npd (Listen) SUN The Diary of a Nobody, Episode 1 SUN SUN Johnny Vegas and Katherine Parkinson play Mr and Mrs Pooter SUN in Andrew Lynch's adaptation of the Grossmith brothers' SUN comic novel of 1892. SUN SUN The story is a social vignette of Charles, the SUN self-important but highly likeable clerk, his loving wife SUN Carrie and their son William (played by Andrew Gower). SUN SUN Much of the action takes place in the house that the Pooters SUN share with their maid Sarah...and the noisy sound of passing SUN trains. The Laurels in Brickfield Terrace is frequently SUN visited by colourful and amusing characters, not least SUN Gowing and Cummings, Pooter's 'trusty' fairweather friends. SUN SUN This full dramatisation has a Victorian sit-com feel and SUN stays true to the book - with a couple of twists of Lynch's SUN own - capturing a kind of lower-middle-class aspiration that SUN still has a tangible familiarity in 2012. SUN SUN In Episode One, the Pooters move in to The Laurels. Charles SUN and Carrie attend The Mansion House Ball and Willie arrives SUN home from the bank in Oldham. SUN SUN Charles Pooter ...... Johnny Vegas SUN Carrie Pooter ...... Katherine Parkinson SUN William / Lupin ...... Andrew Gower SUN Sarah ....... Sinead Matthews SUN Cummings (and Horwin) ...... Adrian Scarborough SUN Gowing (and Borset) ....... Stephen Critchlow SUN Farmerson ...... Joe Ransom SUN Trillip ...... Adam Gillen SUN Daisy Mutlar ......

SUN SUN 16:00 Bookclub b01k9npg (Listen) SUN David Baddiel talks about Elizabeth Taylor's Mrs Palfrey at SUN the Claremont SUN SUN To celebrate the centenary of novelist Elizabeth Taylor, SUN David Baddiel is our guide to her best known book, Mrs SUN Palfrey at the Claremont. SUN SUN Like many writers, David Baddiel thinks that Elizabeth SUN Taylor has been overlooked and is one of the finest writers SUN of the middle of the twentieth century. He has called her SUN 'the missing link between Jane Austen and John Updike'. SUN SUN Mrs Palfrey at the Claremont was the last book to be SUN published in her life time, and was shortlisted for the SUN Booker prize in 1971. It tells the story of Laura Palfrey, a SUN widow who can no longer look after herself and moves into a SUN private hotel in West London, where she will probably end SUN her days. She strikes up an unlikely friendship with an SUN impoverished young writer, Ludo, who uses her life for his SUN novel. SUN SUN Radio 4 listeners, some new to Elizabeth Taylor, and others SUN who've been reading her books for forty years, join in the SUN discussion with David Baddiel, and the programme is SUN presented by James Naughtie. SUN SUN Producer : Dymphna Flynn SUN SUN August's Bookclub choice : The English Patient by Michael SUN Ondaatje. SUN SUN 16:30 Poetry Please b01k9n89 (Listen) SUN It sounds like Hollywood - the poet who wakes up to learn SUN that his newly published verse has made his name and his SUN fortune. But that's precisely what happened to the young SUN Lord Byron 200 years ago when his epic 'Childe Harold' was SUN published. Roger McGough introduces requests for the poem SUN that features the first 'Byronic hero'. SUN SUN Producer: Mark Smalley. SUN SUN 17:00 File on 4 b01k1nk6 (Listen) SUN School Inspections SUN SUN Ofsted has a new, hard-line chief inspector and a new, SUN tougher inspection regime - and in the past few months that SUN has led to a spike in the number of schools deemed SUN inadequate. SUN Predictably, there has been a corresponding wave of anger in SUN schools - with a growing number taking to the courts to SUN challenge the inspectors' views? SUN So are the inspectors really up to the job? And who inspects SUN the inspectors? SUN Fran Abrams investigates. SUN Producer: Rob Cave.

SUN SUN 18:15 Pick of the Week b01k9npj (Listen) SUN Simon Parkes makes his selection from the past seven days of SUN BBC Radio SUN SUN This week's Pick of the Week hasn't been very SUN straight-forward: things haven't been quite what they seem. SUN There have been plots, subversions and things masquerading SUN as other things. Who would've guessed it? SUN SUN Gordon Corera exposes a Czech spy ring meant to implicate SUN former prime minister Edward Heath, only to learn it SUN probably was an attempt to discredit him by members of his SUN own party. A.S. Byatt feels strange inexplicable forces in SUN her own home and then there's the man exploring a cave SUN system in Iceland - caves shaped by nature but making some SUN very other-worldly noises. What can all these contradictions SUN mean? SUN SUN Hopefully, Simon Parkes will be providing some answers to SUN these strange phenomenon in this week's Pick of the Week.

SUN SUN 19:15 The Write Stuff b01bmq2l (Listen) SUN Terence Rattigan SUN SUN The teams examine the life and work of "Author of the Week", SUN playwright and creator of "Flare Path", Sir Terence SUN Rattigan. SUN SUN Regular captains Sebastian Faulks and John Walsh are joined SUN by Sir Andrew Motion and children's author, Sue Limb as they SUN answer questions based around Rattigan's life and work, as SUN well as more general literary brainteasers, set by host SUN James Walton. SUN SUN For the finale of the show, the teams are asked to imagine SUN Rattigan discarding his stiff-upper-lip-style and writing a SUN gritty, kitchen sink-style drama. SUN SUN 19:45 The Food of Love b01k9npn (Listen) SUN Episode 1 SUN SUN In this series of monologues exploring the link between food SUN and memory, poignant domestic dramas gradually unfold SUN through the preparation of a special recipe. SUN SUN In the first story by Helen Simpson, powerful memories are SUN evoked when a mother bakes a birthday cake for her daughter, SUN now no longer a child. SUN SUN Helen Simpson is a novelist and hugely acclaimed short story SUN writer. Her first collection, 'Four Bare Legs in a Bed and SUN Other Stories', won the Sunday Times Young Writer of the SUN Year Award, while her book 'Hey Yeah Right Get a Life', a SUN series of interlinked stories, won the Hawthornden Prize. SUN She was one of Granta's twenty Best of Young British SUN Novelists campaign in 1993, and is currently a Fellow of the SUN Royal Society of Literature. SUN SUN The next story in the series comes from Kevin Barry, who won SUN this year's Sunday Times short story award. Barry's first SUN novel, 'City of Bohane', was shortlisted for the Costa first SUN novel award, and a previous short story collection, 'There SUN Are Little Kingdoms', won the Rooney prize for Irish SUN Literature. In Barry's story, an insurance clerk of a SUN certain age recreates the romantic spaghetti bolognese he SUN cooked for the lass in the typing pool on his last date - SUN some thirty years before... SUN SUN The final story in the series is by Aminatta Forna, the SUN award-winning author of two novels: 'The Memory of Love and SUN Ancestor Stones'. In her story, a man struggles to cook for SUN a young child after a terrible loss. SUN SUN Producer: Justine Willett SUN Reader: Stella Gonet. SUN SUN 20:00 Feedback b01k2f8f (Listen) SUN The History of an Epic Struggle: last week marked the end of SUN Richard Holloway's 20-part Honest Doubt series, which SUN explored 3,000 years of faith jostling with doubt. It had a SUN profound effect on many Radio 4 listeners. A one-sided SUN attack on Christianity, or an insightful exploration of an SUN often controversial subject? Roger talks to Richard SUN Holloway, and the editor behind the commission, Radio 4's SUN Jane Ellison. SUN SUN From the spiritual to the virtual, big changes to all 55 of SUN the BBC Radio websites are scheduled for the Autumn, but web SUN users are getting a sneak peak by using a Beta version of SUN the sites - a test version which runs alongside the old SUN sites. Roger uploads a friendly, virtual companion to help SUN him navigate the new websites and discovers what changes SUN will be made in conversation with Mark Friend, controller of SUN BBC Audio and Music Interactive. SUN SUN And, we follow up on Drop Out Watch. Keen-eared listeners SUN have been in touch with more examples of content cut short SUN by technical glitches. And Roger receives a listener comment SUN about....himself. No one, not even Mr Bolton, can escape the SUN forensic attention of Feedback.

SUN SUN When Analysis looked at the possibility of a Greek exit from SUN the Euro back in February, the topic was regarded as SUN "thinking the unthinkable". Not so now. SUN SUN In this programme Chris Bowlby looks forward and asks if the SUN Eurozone is headed for disintegration or, conversely, even SUN closer political and economic union. What do either of those SUN scenarios mean in practice and can the Eurozone survive? SUN What are the implications for borders, cash movements and SUN who controls the levers of power?

But one MON of the new intake of Conservative MPs, dubbed the 'New MON Radicals', Elizabeth Truss, looks to an alternative future MON where "decline is not inevitable."

MON MON Twenty-five years ago, Clare recorded her father talking MON about his life: growing up in a Scottish tenement, being MON 'sold' as a farmer's boy at a hiring fair, a wartime stint MON in the RAF, working as a gardener to the wealthy, amateur MON poet. Jack Jenkins died 18 years ago, and Clare never MON listened back to the tapes - until making this programme. MON MON Broadcaster Rony Robinson never listened back to recordings MON he had done with his mother until Clare asked him to. Nor MON had singer-songwriter Sally Goldsmith listened to her MON mother, who died two years ago, singing May Day songs MON recalled from childhood. MON MON This programme explores the different circumstances in which MON people's life stories are recorded, and the memories and MON emotions that come flooding back when the tapes are MON eventually heard. MON MON We hear from the wife of a man suffering from dementia about MON her bitter-sweet feelings when listening to tapes of his MON voice. "They really calmed him and made him smile. And it MON was amazing for me, because I'd forgotten how funny he was." MON MON Another woman, terminally ill with cancer, has made a series MON of recordings for her newborn granddaughter as part of a MON hospice project in Sheffield. "I want her to hear about my MON life - and to know that I don't have a Yorkshire accent!" MON she says. MON MON We also hear from Mary Stewart of the British Library, who MON has been studying the way recorded interviews are used by MON and for those most intimately involved.

MON Who better to explore the different ways that the way God MON speaks is depicted within literature, theatre, music and MON film, and within sacred texts? MON MON In the 'Book of Kings' the prophet Elijah is wrung by MON earthquake, wind, fire and thunder, but God is in not in any MON of these. It is in the silence following that Elijah hears MON God in a 'still, small voice'. In Britain Quakers have been MON listening for God in silence since the 1650s. This hasn't MON been how artists usually imagine the Almighty communicating. MON In the theatre and cinema God tends more to the Brian MON Blessed - or Brian Glover, pronouncing from on high, in the MON earthy demotic of Yorkshire, atop a fork-lift truck in a MON famous production of 'The Mysteries' at the National MON Theatre. In the great religious choral works God speaks MON through the chorus, in Haydn's 'Creation'; a gentle tenor in MON 'Messiah'; and in Bach's 'Passion' not at all. But Is God's MON voice ever manifest in a woman? MON MON As well as considering the different voices of God in the MON art of the past, Richard Coles seeks the experience of other MON faiths. Muslims believe Allah spoke to Mohammed in Arabic MON via the angel Gabriel. One of his earliest followers was MON convinced of the truth of Islam by the language - it was so MON beautiful it had to be true. At Pentecost the Holy Spirit MON spoke through the Christian disciples, yet every listener MON heard their own language. Jahweh spoke to certain Jews, but MON they could never utter his name. MON MON Richard speaks to people of different beliefs, and to MON contemporary artists including comedy writers, for whom MON there are rich pickings in putting the words of God in the MON mouths of mere mortals - about their approach, how they MON recreate the voice of the creator.

It is so rich in life 1/3 TUE of all the species on earth live here. TUE TUE People have had a long and complex relationship with the TUE Amazon for at least 11,000 years. We have bought fertile TUE soils, new plants and farmed the land, but we have also TUE caused extinctions and great damage. As the world faces a TUE growing problem - providing for 9 billion people by 2050, TUE what does the future hold? TUE TUE The rainforest is the source of wood, minerals, metals, TUE water and land. Cleared areas are snapped up by cattle TUE farmers and plantation owners - we have already lost about TUE 20% of the Amazon during the past 40 years, more than in all TUE the previous 450 years since European colonization began. TUE TUE This programme looks at our relationship with the rainforest TUE and asks how can we use it for the wealth of resources it TUE contains, but still keep it alive? TUE TUE 11:30 Changing My Voice b01k9vh0 (Listen) TUE Christopher Gabbitas asks why singers sometimes have to TUE change the pitch of their voice. How do they learn to TUE perform in another register and what effect does the change TUE have? TUE TUE Christopher Gabbitas is a member of the vocal group the TUE King's Singers. He originally began his career as a bass, TUE able to sing the lowest notes with ease. But when he TUE auditioned for the group,the vacancy was for the higher TUE baritone voice and he had to learn to sing in that new TUE range. TUE TUE Some classical singers have to change their voice because of TUE the effects of ageing. If they've been a high soprano TUE perhaps they now have problems hitting the top notes and may TUE decide to pursue a career in the lower mezzo range. Men, as TUE in the recent case of the celebrated tenor Pl�cido Domingo, TUE may decide to move from being a tenor to singing baritone. TUE TUE Other singers discover that, although they may have begun in TUE one register, they are more suited to another. The opera TUE singer Grace Bumbry began her career as a low soprano but TUE discovered that she was able to sing higher and changed - to TUE huge critical acclaim. TUE TUE And there are cases of injury to the vocal chords, which can TUE also cause a singer to have to change register. TUE TUE But it's not easy to change your voice. Although it can TUE prolong a singer's performing life, changing pitch can be an TUE unnerving process. There are new techniques to learn. The TUE ear has literally to be retuned and the brain rewired to TUE adapt to a new vocal range. And the way performers often TUE think of themselves in stereotypes- a romantic tenor for TUE example, or a coloratura soprano- has to be revised. TUE TUE In this feature, Christopher goes on a personal exploration TUE of the art of voice changing. He examines his own TUE experiences and talks to other singers who have switched TUE ranges, to see how fundamental such shifts can be. TUE Interviewees include the singers Grace Bumbry and Rosalind TUE Plowright. TUE TUE Producer: Emma Kingsley.

THU When eels arrive in the UK as tiny babies, called elvers, THU they do so at the end of an exhausting 4,000-mile marathon THU swim from the Sargasso Sea where they have spawned. For THU generations, their arrival was greeted with much THU anticipation by fishermen on the Rivers Severn and Wye where THU they were caught at night and often used in dishes and THU delicacies. THU But the eel is in trouble and has been placed on the Red THU List of Fish to Avoid by the Marine Conservation Society who THU class it as critically endangered. However, others believe THU that the decline in the number of eels is not just a result THU of over-fishing but is also due to the way in which rivers THU are managed and flood defences are erected, so blocking the THU eels migratory route, and that by leaving them to their own THU defences the eels' fate will be sealed. THU Helen Mark meets some of the people involved with trying to THU save this precious and mysterious creature including THU fisherman Richard Cook who has a life-long passion for eels THU and who is now taking tanks of eels into schools to teach THU the children who look after them for a few weeks about the THU importance of the fish, our rivers and the environment . THU Eventually, the children will release the eels back into the THU river as part of a restocking project. THU Helen also hears from Bernadette Clarke of the Marine THU Conservation Society about the reasons why they felt it was THU important that eels should be classed as critically THU endangered and placed on the Red List. And Helen meets THU Andrew Kerr of the Sustainable Eel Group which is working to THU devise a recovery plan to protect and preserve the eel.
