SAT SAT 00:30 Book of the Week b03cv46x (Listen) SAT Historic Heston, Episode 5 SAT SAT Heston Blumenthal's name is synonymous with cutting edge SAT cuisine but his inspiration comes from the history of SAT British cooking. In 'Historic Heston' he chooses twenty SAT eight dishes which span from medieval times to the late 19th SAT Century. He takes them apart, then puts them together again SAT with his own inimitable twist, so creating a sublime 21st SAT Century take on ancient delicacies. SAT SAT Today, as an avowed fan of Alice in Wonderland, Heston SAT unveils the inspiration for one of his signature dishes, SAT Mock Turtle Soup. The original recipe for the soup appeared SAT in a cookbook written by the first Professor of Botany at SAT Cambridge University in 1732, but the dish quickly made it SAT into the mainstream and the craze for it lasted well into SAT the Victorian age.

The guest, Cathy SAT Dreyer, wrote to the programme to suggest we join her on a SAT short, local route which she has chosen to walk 365 times. SAT SAT Cathy began her project after reading the first few pages of SAT Robert Macfarlane's book, 'The Old Ways'. She was filled SAT with envy at his freedom to walk in exciting, far flung SAT places. But rather than moan about her domestic SAT responsibilities, Cathy thought she'd respond by doing a SAT very short walk, 365 times over. SAT SAT Cathy says she is using the walk to examine "what's really SAT there" in both the natural world and in her domestic life as SAT a parent which is repetitive and intimate, going over and SAT over the same worn but wonderful ground. Motherhood and work SAT means it's taking longer than a year to complete the SAT project, something Cathy is chronicling in a blog SAT www.walkinginacircle.wordpress.com SAT SAT The theme of this series of Ramblings is listeners' walks, SAT and this week's presenter is a previous Ramblings' guest: SAT the broadcaster, actor and musician, Toyah Willcox. SAT SAT Producer: Karen Gregor. SAT SAT 06:30 Farming Today b03d7v57 (Listen) SAT Farming Today This Week SAT SAT Charlotte Smith visits a new straw-fired power station which SAT is taking in its first bales to be turned into power. The SAT plant near Sleaford in Lincolnshire will power more than 65 SAT thousand homes and take in 238,000 tonnes of straw a year SAT from farms within a 40 mile radius. This new power station SAT isn't the only one using farm waste to create bioenergy. We SAT hear how chicken litter from henhouses is also being SAT incinerated for power. SAT SAT Both of these projects support the UK Government's ambitions SAT for 15% of the energy we consume to be generated from SAT renewable sources by 2020. The NFU says that farmers can get SAT involved, and this week DEFRA has announced £3 million of SAT new funding for farmers to build anaerobic digester-based SAT mini-power plants on their land. SAT SAT The energy from the Sleaford power plant will be sold into SAT the national grid, as well as powering a district heating SAT system in the town. While the new power plant will provide a SAT market for farmers to sell their straw, not everyone's been SAT able to find an outlet to sell their farm-grown fuel. We SAT hear from one farmer who's struggling to find a market for SAT his willow, and explore the latest research from the SAT University of Southampton which has mapped areas of supply SAT and demand for energy crops such as miscanthus. We also meet SAT a tomato grower in Evesham producing his own natural gas SAT using a mixture of plant matter, slurry and specially grown SAT energy crops in a giant anaerobic digester. SAT SAT But will power plants like Sleaford be springing up all over SAT the country to meet our increasing demand for energy? And is SAT a straw-fired station actually bad news for livestock SAT farmers, who could be using the straw for their animals? SAT SAT Presented by Charlotte Smith. Produced by Jules Benham.

SAT SAT 20:00 Archive on 4 b03ddnfm (Listen) SAT Not Enough Hours in the Day SAT SAT In this Archive on Four Claudia Hammond traces the history SAT of the time use survey.She explores how social change has SAT transformed the way people use their time, with more women SAT working outside the home and the rise of supposedly SAT labour-saving devices. These days men have an average of 5 SAT hours and 48 minutes spare and women have 5 hours and 23 SAT minutes, far more time than most people realise. Going back SAT to the BBC archives and others such as those at Sussex SAT University Claudia compares now with the past. SAT SAT Eighty years ago the BBC conducted Britain's first ever SAT survey of time use. Its aim was to discover whether anyone SAT would have time to take up a brand new leisure activity - SAT watching TV. In fact last year's time use survey in the US SAT tells us that if people gain any unexpected spare time they SAT spend it watching TV. SAT SAT But we are unreliable chroniclers of our time: even in the SAT last fortnight we remember only between nine and fifteen SAT things we have done. SAT SAT The programme will trace the history of the time-use surveys SAT and why they are much harder to conduct than you might SAT think. People hate filling them in. Lawyers have to account SAT for every six minutes of their time in order to charge the SAT right clients, so they're experts on time use, but they SAT detest doing it because it reminds them how fast time goes. SAT SAT Using the BBC written archives and first-hand accounts of SAT time-use from the Mass Observation Archive at Sussex SAT University Claudia follows the changes in the way time-use SAT has been measured. SAT SAT We'll also learn hear the idiosyncratic stories of the SAT individuals who recorded their own time use. The Reverend SAT Robert Shields has written what is thought to be the longest SAT diary in the world. It's 30 times longer than Pepys' diary SAT and it fills 91 cardboard boxes. Using six typewriters he SAT noted down everything he did, describing everything from his SAT dreams to his urination. He died in 2007 and won't allow SAT most of it to be read until 2057, but a few pages are SAT available. Then there's Gordon Bell who works for Microsoft SAT and is chronicling every 20 seconds of his life with a SAT photograph and employs people to scan every page he reads SAT from books, so that there's a complete digital record of his SAT life.

SAT SAT 22:15 The Reith Lectures b03969vt (Listen) SAT Grayson Perry: Playing to the Gallery: 2013, Democracy Has SAT Bad Taste SAT SAT In the first of four lectures, recorded in front of an SAT audience at Tate Modern in London, the artist Grayson Perry SAT reflects on the idea of quality and examines who and what SAT defines what we see and value as art. He argues that there SAT is no empirical way to judge quality in art. Instead the SAT validation of quality rests in the hands of a tightknit SAT group of people at the heart of the art world including SAT curators, dealers, collectors and critics who decide in the SAT end what ends up in galleries and museums. Often the last to SAT have a say are the public. SAT Perry examines the words and language that have developed SAT around art critique, including what he sees as the growing SAT tendency to over-intellectualise the response to art. He SAT analyses the art market and quotes - with some irony - an SAT insider who says that certain colours sell better than SAT others. He queries whether familiarity makes us like certain SAT artworks more, and encourages the public to learn to SAT appreciate different forms of art through exploration and SAT open-mindedness. SAT Perry was awarded the Turner Prize in 2003, and is known for SAT his ceramic works, printmaking, drawing, sculpture and SAT tapestry as well as for his cross-dressing and alter-ego, SAT Claire.

They SUN ensure lonely older people receive the friendship they so SUN desperately need, to give them a reason to smile again. Our SUN 25 care homes and services across the country also mean we SUN are ideally placed to put an end to the isolation older SUN people feel, for example when we welcome them for social SUN events or festive celebrations. SUN SUN It doesn’t take much to change lives – every day we see the SUN incredible difference a little companionship and care can SUN make. An act of kindness really does make a difference. SUN SUN Befriending Services SUN SUN We provide friendship all year around through our SUN befriending services, offering a visit at home or a regular SUN phone call from a volunteer we have carefully matched to a SUN lonely older person. SUN SUN Friends of the Elderly provide the training and support our SUN volunteers need to provide meaningful companionship to those SUN who need it so we can give them a reason to smile again. SUN SUN Festive Celebrations SUN Each year, we open the doors of our homes and services to SUN older people at Christmas – offering companionship, festive SUN cheer and other things we might take for granted like a meal SUN with friends and a gift and card. This is just one way we SUN are working hard to reduce isolation and loneliness in older SUN people. SUN SUN 07:57 Weather b03d49q9 (Listen) SUN The latest weather forecast.

SUN SUN In World War II, he escaped his bombed-out ship clinging to SUN a life raft with Lord Mountbatten. SUN SUN At the Bar he played a central role in many of the seismic SUN trials of the day - among them defending the novel Lady SUN Chatterley's Lover against obscenity charges and Christine SUN Keeler in the Profumo Affair trial. His brilliance in SUN cross-examination inspired John Mortimer's creation of the SUN character Rumpole of The Bailey. SUN SUN He enjoyed two long marriages - his first to the actress SUN Peggy Ashcroft, his second, for 40 years, to June Osborn, SUN and he spent 23 years as an active member of The House of SUN Lords.

SUN SUN Award winning drinks writer Pete Brown joins Sheila Dillon SUN to explain why bottles of cider should be the drink of SUN choice on the UK's dinner tables. SUN SUN A cider revival has been building for a number of years, SUN many credit the "over-ice" advertising campaigns of the last SUN decade for raising mainstream interest. What's happened SUN since that time has been fascinating to watch for producers SUN and drinkers alike. SUN SUN At the premium, craft end of the cider business more and SUN more small scale producers have arrived on the scene. Wales SUN alone, which all but lost its cider making culture, now has SUN more than 40 new ciders being produced. Pete Brown, author SUN of the recently published, World's Best Cider, has travelled SUN across the globe to document the fact that this is a revival SUN that's spread far beyond the United Kingdom. SUN SUN As part of this world tour Sheila and Pete tell the story of SUN the Tieton Cider Works, a new cider business in Washington SUN State in North West America. The Tieton producers are SUN experimenting with new techniques and flavours, including SUN the use of hops and natural fruits. This might sound like a SUN step too far for many traditionalists and in the programme SUN Sheila and Pete give their verdict. SUN SUN Meanwhile in high-street pubs, supermarkets and off-licences SUN more big brands have moved into the cider market, including SUN Carlsberg and Stella Artois, they along with more familiar SUN names like Bulmers and Thatchers have launched a wide range SUN of fruit ciders. It's this part of the market that is really SUN booming, but is it really cider? Sheila looks at the often SUN confusing world of the ingredients and liquids that are SUN allowed to become part of a glass of cider. SUN SUN Produced by Dan Saladino.

Many comics will SUN agree that 'dying' on stage is a rite of passage from which SUN a lot can be learned - and swapping stories of on-stage SUN humiliation can bind comedians together. Rich Morton has SUN performed with most of Britain's best loved stand-ups down SUN the years, and in this programme he gets some of them to SUN confess their memories of the nightmare gigs they'd rather SUN forget. SUN SUN Realising too late that your material is completely SUN inappropriate for the audience, finding the crowd was SUN expecting someone else, having to deal with the heckler from SUN hell - whatever the situation, most comics have been there, SUN and have emerged from the experience with some hilarious SUN stories to tell.

The conversations are being gathered across the UK SUN by teams of producers from local and national radio stations SUN who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're SUN not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - SUN lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key SUN moment of connection between the participants. Most of the SUN unedited conversations are being archived by the British SUN Library and used to build up a collection of voices SUN capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade SUN of the millennium.

So why is it when Jewish and Muslim people get MON married there are such strong reactions? Both are Abrahamic MON faiths and have a lot in common in terms of food with Kosher MON and Halal, circumcision, wearing modest clothes and yet MON there is such a powerful taboo surrounding this mix. MON MON Jewish/Muslim couples are often cut off from their families MON and communities. Zubeida Malik tells the story of three MON couples who crossed this boundary between the personal and MON the political. MON MON Maryiam has a word to describe her children: "Jewslims." MON They are, she says, neither Muslims nor Jews. Those like MON Mariyam in a Jewish/ Muslim relationship in contemporary MON Britain are in a growing minority, living under a veil of MON discretion.

Mariyam says MON events like these on the world stage affect her community MON and in turn her marriage. MON MON Lenny is the son of a Holocaust survivor. He and his Iranian MON wife, Sheherazade, are passionately in love but there was so MON much tension over Middle East politics that Sheherazade no MON longer spends sabbath eve with Lenny's parents. The couple MON cannot help arguing about Israel - and tell Zubeida it is MON something they enjoy doing. MON MON Omar and Rachel, who are in their late 20s, met at MON university.

MON MON 13:45 Terror Through Time b03dfh0y (Listen) MON Hijack! MON MON On the 6th of September 1970 the Popular Front for the MON Liberation of Palestine launched one of the most spectacular MON acts of terror ever attempted. Three aircraft were to be MON hijacked on the same day and taken to Dawson's Field, an MON ex-RAF airfield in Jordan. The intention was two-fold; to MON force the release of Palestinian militants being held in MON prison in Germany, Switzerland and Israel and to raise the MON profile of the Palestinian demands for statehood. MON MON One of the hijackers was a young woman, Leila Khaled. She MON was charged with the toughest job, taking over an El Al MON aircraft flying from Amsterdam to New York. The attempt went MON badly wrong. Shlomo Vider, an El Al steward was seriously MON injured, hi-jacker, Patrick Argeullo was shot dead by an MON Israeli security guard and Khaled was forced to the floor as MON the pilot landed at Heathrow Airport. MON MON Fergal Keane talks to Khaled about the events of that day MON and the sudden British involvement in Palestinian affairs. MON PFLP sympathisers seized a British Airways jet to force MON Khaled's release from Ealing police station, leaving the MON Heath government with little apparent choice but to MON negotiate with hijackers. MON MON Fergal is joined by Peter Snow who was an ITN journalist at MON the time, Keith Goulbourn, son of the hijacked British pilot MON and government official, Baron Wilson of Dinton to consider MON an affair that turned Khaled into an icon of Palestinian MON resistance and set some very uncomfortable precedents.

Spanning six decades, it plots the MON course of one family against the backdrop of a revolution in MON crime as the underworld extends its influence to the very MON heart of the establishment, in an uncomfortable relationship MON of shared values. MON MON Joey Oldman is a Russian Jew, who arrived in Britain before MON the war with only two words of English and married Cathy MON Braden. They had a son, Brian, and a daughter, Rose. Cathy's MON widowed mother, Gracie, takes up with a famous and glamorous MON gangster, Billy Hill, while her brother Jack wants to become MON World Light Heavyweight Boxing Champion. Both the army and MON the Kray twins interfere with this ambition. Jack is left MON feeling bitter and angry and plunges headlong into crime, MON running protection rackets and claiming a piece of other MON criminals' sometimes infamous pies. His actions become ever MON more savage and bizarre and harder to reconcile. MON MON Haunted by the murder of his grandfather which he witnessed MON when he was six, Brian Oldman holds a terrible secret that MON he must keep for fear of his life as he falls deeper under MON his mother's spell. But there is a more disturbing secret he MON has yet to discover - one that will threaten his very MON existence. All the while he becomes a willing participant in MON the criminal underworld in the 1950s, where gangs such as MON the Krays and the Richardson are emerging to challenge the MON old guard in savage battles for territory.

MON MON In October 1860, on a misty road north of Naples, Giuseppe MON Garibaldi met the future king of Italy and handed over MON control of the south. This brief moment in the story of the MON new Italian state has been often mythologised, but it is not MON as straightforward as it seems. Violence, civil war, the MON birth of the mafia - these elements in the story are often MON overlooked. MON MON Beginning with Napoleon's call to the peoples of Italy in MON 1796, Misha Glenny picks his way through Italian unification MON with clarity and care. Rome only became part of this new MON European country under a century and a half ago - and even MON then the Pope ordered his followers neither to stand in nor MON vote in elections for the new state. Small wonder some claim MON that Italy is not really unified yet.

MON MON At the heart of the novel lies a masterwork by the Dutch MON painter Carel Fabritius, a picture of a small chained bird, MON The Goldfinch.

The painting is his talisman, his MON touchstone, until it draws him into a murky criminal MON underworld of drugs, art theft and fatal dealings. MON MON Tartt follows Theo through grief, teenage delinquency, MON passionate friendship and obsessive love, in a story of MON enthralling suspense, peopled with unforgettable characters. MON As the drama reaches its gripping conclusion, Theo may or MON may not find out how to survive. MON In today's opening episode: 'Tiny yellow bird, faint beneath MON a veil of dust'.

WED WED 11:00 Silk b03dsm3y (Listen) WED Episode 1 WED WED Silk production began, according to legend, when a Chinese WED Empress dropped a silkworm's cocoon into her tea some five WED thousand years ago. Noticing the threads come loose, she WED started unravelling them, and thus began one of the oldest WED and most fascinating of industries. The production of silk WED helped drive trade around the world, creating a near global WED trading system long before the term globalisation was ever WED dreamt of. Along the way it held drive industrial WED development with the pre-cursor of in the industrial WED revolution in 16th century China, and technological WED innovation which continues to the present day, with WED scientists examining the properties of silk in order to WED utilise its remarkable strength in a range of settings - WED including military. WED In this two part series, Steph McGovern looks at both the WED bigger story of silk production, but also takes a close look WED (in part one) at how silk shaped one particular town - WED Macclesfield in Cheshire. Here, silk has been processed, WED woven and printed for four centuries, and had a profound WED effect not just upon the built environment but also the WED social world in which its inhabitants lived. Steph finds out WED about the history of the town, where once over seventy mills WED stood proud, and also the present day story - with a couple WED of silk factories still trading on the town's history, and WED also a new generation of business owners weighing up how far WED they should exploit the town's connection with silk as a WED means of branding themselves.

WED WED Haunted by the murder of his grandfather which he witnessed WED when he was six, Brian Oldman holds a terrible secret that WED he must keep for fear of his life as he falls deeper under WED his mother's spell.

THU THU 11:30 Past Perfect b03dvbyw (Listen) THU Penelope Fitzgerald died in 2000, having never been a THU literary celebrity, though she was a regular nominee on THU prize shortlists and a Booker winner in 1979. In recent THU years her handful of novels has come to be regarded as one THU of the most consistent and perfect bodies of work by any THU 20th century writer in English. With a major new biography THU of this remarkable writer about to appear, Michael Alexander THU assesses Penelope Fitzgerald's growing reputation. THU THU She was the daughter of an editor of Punch, Edmund Knox, and THU his wife Christina who was one of the first women ever to go THU to Oxford University. Her father's two brothers were also THU illustrious figures, both writers and theologians. With this THU background it seems inevitable that she should have been a THU writer, and all the more surprising that she published THU nothing until her biography of the painter Burne-Jones THU appeared in 1975, when she was 58. Two years later her first THU novel appeared, and from then until her death she wrote THU constantly, and to great acclaim. THU THU Many of her novels drew directly on her own life experience. THU She had worked as a teacher at the Italia Conti drama THU school, as an assistant in a bookshop, in an all-night THU coffee stall, and as a Recorded Programmes Assistant at the THU BBC. All of these settings surface in her early novels. THU Offshore, her 1979 Booker prizewinner, is set on a houseboat THU on the Thames, and was written at a time when she herself THU lived on just such a boat (which later sank). THU THU She nevertheless seems to confound the truism about 'writing THU about what you know'. After some years she moved onto THU historical novels and, if anything, they drew even greater THU praise, for their intelligent prose and the clarity with THU which they imagined the lives of their long-dead characters. THU Whether set in the Russian Revolution, in late 18th-century THU Germany, or in an imaginary Cambridge college between the THU wars, the novels recreate the surroundings and the mindset THU of the characters with perfect clarity. Yet Penelope THU Fitzgerald never patronised her readers with excessive THU detail, description or explanation, making critics use words THU like 'understated' and 'economical' when describing her THU books. THU THU The programme includes archive recordings of Penelope THU Fitzgerald talking about her work, along with analysis from THU prominent literary admirers such as Julian Barnes, Fiona THU MacCarthy and her biographer Hermione Lee.

THU THU In this edition of "Terror Through Time", Fergal Keane tells THU the story of the Baader Meinhof Gang, whose brand of THU glamorised violence earned them an enduring place in popular THU culture.

As the FRI trial reaches its climax young Sybil is called to give FRI evidence. Dramatised by Chris Dolan. FRI FRI 11:00 The Father of English Football b03dvn10 (Listen) FRI In this month 150 years ago, a group of sportsmen met at the FRI Freemasons' Tavern in London's Covent Garden. In an age when FRI football teams played by their own rules, each one differing FRI from the other, the aim was to create a standard code. Their FRI first decision in 1863 was to call themselves the Football FRI Association and, over the course of six often dramatic FRI meetings between October and December, they set down what FRI became the cornerstone of the game of football. The prime FRI mover was Ebenezer Morley. FRI FRI Hardeep Singh Kohli considers Morley's reputation as the FRI founding father of English football, and traces the FRI arguments of those first meetings through the Minute Book, FRI which many now consider the most valuable historical FRI document in the creation of the modern game. The arguments FRI were often heated and ended with a breakaway group FRI dissenting and eventually forming themselves into the Rugby FRI Union. FRI FRI Hardeep talks to Jane Clayton, of the International Football FRI Institute at the University of Central Lancashire, about the FRI character of Ebenezer Morley and his colleagues. He visits FRI the FA's headquarters at Wembley, and talks to the historian FRI David Barber. They leaf through the pages of the 150 year FRI old Minute Book, which describes the arguments that took FRI place - particularly over the rules on whether the ball FRI should be carried, and whether players should be allowed to FRI kick, hack and trip an opponent. FRI FRI Hardeep also meets David Elleray, Chairman of the FA FRI Referees' Committee, who discloses how current rules are FRI discussed and altered and how referees apply them.

She's freshly divorced and FRI scared of her eggs going stale so she's decided to freeze FRI them. But she didn't realise she had to give herself hormone FRI injections. What's the divorced etiquette of asking an FRI ex-husband to inject your torso? And how come she's not the FRI favourite parent? Could it be because she was a complete FRI failure trying to convince the mother of Tom's best friend FRI that skateboarding was safe? FRI FRI Joe is flailing too. And very broke. When Lucy sees him FRI posing at her life drawing class she bolts. Does he think he FRI can do a Lena Dunham and go naked at his age? She switches FRI her allegiance to Mimi and gives her a make-over that turns FRI her into Ernie from Sesame Street. FRI FRI Meanwhile Tom is still proud of Dad. Joe talked Jennifer FRI into letting Freddy skateboard. But his mum makes him wear FRI so much protective gear he and Tom look like Team Pathetic. FRI And with his big chrome bucket of a helmet, Freddy looks FRI like Darth Vader - but stupid. Now the pair of them get FRI pelted with KFC cartons and cans. FRI FRI Maybe Mum can help.

Spanning six decades, it plots the FRI course of one family against the backdrop of a revolution in FRI crime as the underworld extends its influence to the very FRI heart of the establishment, in an uncomfortable relationship FRI of shared values. FRI FRI Joey Oldman is a Russian Jew, who arrived in Britain before FRI the war with only two words of English and married Cathy FRI Braden. They had a son, Brian, and a daughter, Rose. Cathy's FRI widowed mother, Gracie, takes up with a famous and glamorous FRI gangster, Billy Hill, while her brother Jack wants to become FRI World Light Heavyweight Boxing Champion. Both the army and FRI the Kray twins interfere with this ambition. Jack is left FRI feeling bitter and angry and plunges headlong into crime, FRI running protection rackets and claiming a piece of other FRI criminals' sometimes infamous pies. His actions become ever FRI more savage and bizarre and harder to reconcile. FRI FRI Haunted by the murder of his grandfather which he witnessed FRI when he was six, Brian Oldman holds a terrible secret that FRI he must keep for fear of his life as he falls deeper under FRI his mother's spell. But there is a more disturbing secret he FRI has yet to discover - one that will threaten his very FRI existence. All the while he becomes a willing participant in FRI the criminal underworld in the 1950s, where gangs such as FRI the Krays and the Richardson are emerging to challenge the FRI old guard in savage battles for territory.
