SAT SAT 14:30 The Real George Orwell b01q7fzf (Listen) SAT Animal Farm SAT SAT Animal Farm opens The Real George Orwell, a month-long SAT celebration of the writer's life and work. SAT SAT One night, on an English farm, Major the boar recounts his SAT vision of an utopia where his fellow creatures own the land SAT along with the means of production and are no longer the SAT slaves of humans. Before long, his dream comes true and for SAT a short while all animals really are equal. But the clever SAT pigs educate themselves and soon learn how to extend their SAT own power, inevitably at the expense of the rest of the SAT community. SAT SAT Musical director ..... Neil Brand SAT Adapted from his own novel by George Orwell SAT Director ..... Alison Hindell SAT SAT George Orwell described his short novel as a fairy story and SAT it is deceptively simple to read. Regularly on the school SAT syllabus, this well-loved tale is, of course, a satire on SAT the Soviet Communist system and it still reads as a powerful SAT warning despite the changes in world politics since it was SAT first published in 1945. This production uses Orwell's own SAT radio version which was first produced in 1947. SAT SAT The Real George Orwell : A Radio 4 journey through the SAT labyrinth that is the life and work of George Orwell. SAT SAT Of course there is no real George Orwell - it was the pen SAT name of Eric Blair - but he was a writer and political SAT commentator who is very hard to pin down. Ever since his SAT early death in 1950, he has been the darling of some on both SAT the left and the right of British politics - whilst being SAT reviled by others. For all the beautiful simplicity of his SAT writing and storytelling Orwell/Blair is a complex mass of SAT confusions - an anti-establishment, pro-English, ex-Etonian SAT ex-policeman and socialist, who was ardently SAT anti-authoritarian. He was as anti-fascist as he was SAT anti-communist, a former Spanish Civil War soldier who was SAT anti-war but pro the Second World War, and so on and so on. SAT Through dramatisations of the key books, through four newly SAT commissioned plays that explore the disjuncture between the SAT man who was Eric Blair and the writer who was George Orwell, SAT and through factual programming and readings, Radio 4 will SAT take you on a journey from Burma via Catalonia, Wigan, Jura, SAT Manor Farm along the road that led to Nineteen Eighty-Four, SAT one of the most influential novels of the twentieth century.

SAT SAT 20:00 Archive on 4 b017l87m (Listen) SAT Rebuilding Britain for the Baby Boomers SAT SAT Maxwell Hutchinson analyses the great push to re-build post SAT war Britain. SAT In the 1990's architect and broadcaster Maxwell Hutchinson SAT began recording interviews with the men who re-built Britain SAT after World War 2. These idealists - then in their eighties- SAT told how they'd returned from war to a country ravaged by SAT the Luftwaffe, determined to design a country fit for heroes SAT . Many were graduates of the left-leaning Architectural SAT Association and brought their radical ideas, influenced by SAT le Corbusier and Walter Gropius, to building social housing SAT for slum clearance families ; hospitals for the infant NHS; SAT schools for the children of the Butler Education act; and SAT bold new tower blocks that would transform the city skyline. SAT Most of them worked for local authorities and saw their SAT profession as a public service. These "duffle-coated SAT pip-squeaks" as they were known, included Sir Phillip Powell SAT ,Sir Andrew Derbyshire , Ivor Smith, Peter Smithson , the SAT father of Brutalism; Lord Esher and Jim Cadbury Brown. Many SAT have since died. Using these interviews, plus newsreel and SAT contemporary archive , this programme captures that idealism SAT and reflects the later disillusionment when modernism - and SAT architects - fell out of fashion. SAT 2011 was the fiftieth anniversary of Parkhill Flats, SAT Sheffield. It was seen as the embodiment of the modernist SAT movement - streets in the sky to replace the grim terraces SAT bulldozed after the war to give families indoor lavatories, SAT central heating and airy balconies. At first the families SAT couldn't believe their luck - they loved their modern new SAT homes. But as the building began to show cracks, and the SAT community spirit failed to translate from slum-terrace to SAT deck access, Parkhill Flats became a by-word for all that SAT was rotten in the state of post war architecture. It wasn't SAT long before residents starting chucking their rubbish over SAT the balconies, and the flats became the new slums. Peter SAT Smithson, once blamed the residents of his much criticised SAT development, Robin Hood Gardens (a sister project to SAT Parkhill) for letting the building go to rack and ruin; for SAT "painting their doors purple" and not applying "the minor SAT arts of occupation". SAT Parkhill Flats - the largest listed building in Europe - is SAT undergoing extensive renovation by the trendy developers SAT Urban Splash; so the story of this emblematic building, SAT which Sheffielders love and loathe in equal measure, is SAT still a talking point. Maxwell Hutchinson goes back to SAT Parkhill to see the renovation, talk to former residents and SAT find out if the post-war dream of the young architects who SAT designed this colossal building can be revived. SAT SAT 21:00 Classic Serial b01q76l0 (Listen) SAT An Angel at My Table, Episode 2 SAT SAT The autobiography of Janet Frame, dramatised for radio by SAT Anita Sullivan. SAT Frame was New Zealand's best known but least public writer. SAT The author of 12 novels, four story collections, one book of SAT poetry and three volumes of autobiography, even at the SAT height of her success Frame shunned publicity - which had SAT the effect of making the media and her readership even more SAT intrusively interested. It was the issue of her mental SAT health which generated the most conjecture. SAT In her twenties she spent four and a half years in mental SAT hospitals and was wrongly diagnosed with schizophrenia. Her SAT writing saved her; the success of her first collection of SAT short stories (The Lagoon and Other Stories) convincing SAT doctors that she did not need a planned lobotomy. SAT To "set the record straight" about the circumstances of her SAT committal to mental hospitals, in the early 80's Janet Frame SAT wrote her autobiography; three volumes entitled 'To The SAT Is-land (1982) An Angel At My Table and The Envoy From SAT Mirror City (both 1984). It was after the publication of "An SAT Angel At My Table", at a time when several of her books had SAT gone out of print, that Frame's literary status was SAT cemented. SAT SAT An Angel At My Table Episode 2 of 2 SAT In episode two, after a failed suicide attempt, Janet agrees SAT to a short period in hospital to recuperate. But the arrival SAT of her mother to take her home triggers a reaction in Janet SAT that will have calamitous repercussions for years to come. SAT SAT All other roles were played by members of the cast. SAT With thanks to Houghton Valley School and Wellington High SAT School, New Zealand.

SAT SAT 22:15 Decision Time b01pzvc8 (Listen) SAT Nick Robinson shines a light on the process by which SAT controversial decisions are reached behind closed doors in SAT Westminster and Whitehall. SAT SAT In this programme, he discusses whether to spend billions of SAT pounds building four new submarines to carry the United SAT Kingdom's nuclear weapons. SAT SAT Trident has to be renewed and renewed soon, we are told, SAT because the subs being used now will simply wear out. SAT SAT Is the nuclear deterrent the ultimate insurance policy in a SAT dangerously unpredictable world or a relic of the cold war, SAT an unusable weapon which sucks billions of pounds away not SAT just from public services but from combatting today's SAT threats - terrorism, cyber attacks and drone warfare. SAT SAT To discuss the issue, Nick is joined by the two men who SAT until a few months ago were responsible for this decision: SAT Dr. Liam Fox, the former Conservative Defence Secretary and SAT committed supporter of Trident, and his deputy, Sir Nick SAT Harvey, a Liberal Democrat who set up the process of looking SAT for an alternative. SAT SAT With them are Professor Malcolm Chalmers, special adviser to SAT two Labour Foreign Secretaries, and now research director at SAT the Royal United Services Institute; Sir Richard Mottram, SAT former Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Defence who SAT was chairman of the Joint Intelligence Committee after the SAT Iraq war; and Lord Ramsbotham - formerly General Sir David SAT Ramsbotham - Commander of the British Field Army who has SAT described Trident as a virtual irrelevance. SAT SAT 23:00 Brain of Britain b01pzqnh (Listen) SAT (9/17) SAT Can you name the city, a World Heritage Site since 1985, SAT that was the ancient capital of the Nabataeans? And who was SAT the author of 'Gentlemen Prefer Blondes'?

SAT SAT 23:30 Poetry Please b01pz59m (Listen) SAT Barbara Flynn reads a lightly abridged version of the SAT macabre classic by John Keats: 'Isabella, or - the Pot of SAT Basil'. Presented by Roger McGough. SAT SAT Written in 1818, 'Isabella; or the Pot of Basil' is a SAT hauntingly beautiful tale of devotion to a lost love. Fair SAT Isabella falls for a servant, Lorenzo, much to the annoyance SAT of her brothers. They had hoped to marry her off to some SAT Florentine nobleman. So they contrive to murder poor SAT Lorenzo. However, the brothers underestimate the power of SAT the couple's love to endure. Through death, apparitions, SAT exhumations and theft, Isabella's love persists - albeit SAT with a little help from an aged dame and some unconventional SAT gardening techniques. Basil may never taste quite the same SAT again! SAT SAT With its origins in 14th century stories written by SAT Boccaccio, Keats's re-telling inspired the Pre-Raphaelite SAT artists Holman Hunt and Millais to paint two very different SAT visions of Isabella. SAT SAT A chilling tale - perfect for a winter's night - beautifully SAT read by Barbara Flynn. SAT Producer: Sarah Langan.

SUN Although thought to have been written by Mark Knoffler in SUN response to the Falklands war in the mid 80's, it's a piece SUN that people now associate with many other conflicts ; SUN military, personal and social. SUN Dire Straits bass player, John Illsley explains why it SUN remains such a special piece for the band, while Marines SUN chaplain, Nigel Beardsley, recalls the important part it's SUN played in the lives of so many soldiers in Iran and SUN Afghanistan and why it's now often heard at military SUN funerals. SUN The Irish playwright, Sam Millar describes why he based a SUN very personal play around the song and Snuffy Walden, music SUN director of the hit American TV show, The West Wing, talks SUN about how the series writer, Aaron Sorkin insisted on it SUN being used in its entirety during a crucial episode. SUN Prof Alan Moore of Surrey University explains how it's SUN Knopfler's brilliant use of harmony that gives the song the SUN sense of yearning that has made it into one of the most SUN enduring pop songs of the last century.

SUN SUN 14:45 Witness b01q7gvs (Listen) SUN Vietnam - the 'Christmas Bombings' SUN SUN On January 27th 1973 a ceasefire took effect in Vietnam, SUN allowing the USA to pull its troops out of the country. It SUN followed an intense aerial bombardment of North Vietnam by SUN American B-52s - the 'Christmas Bombing Campaign'. 40 years SUN on, it is still not clear what the bombardment was meant to SUN achieve, as the January deal was much the same as one that SUN had been drawn up before the bombing started. Ha Mi was just SUN ten years old and living in Hanoi with her family when the SUN bombs began to fall. SUN SUN 15:00 The Real George Orwell b01pz4cy (Listen) SUN Homage to Catalonia, Episode 1 SUN SUN Adapted by Mike Walker. In 1936 Eric and Eileen Blair were SUN making ends meet by running a small village shop in SUN Wallington and growing vegetables. Eric had recently sent SUN 'The Road to Wigan Pier' to Victor Gollancz, hoping it would SUN be published. But then news came from Spain that Franco's SUN Nationalists had risen up against the elected Republican SUN government. In this first episode of his autobiographical SUN account, Eric decides to go to Spain - not just to record SUN the struggle but to fight the Fascists. Unusually tall, and SUN with size 12 feet, he immediately stood out amongst the SUN locals. He joined a badly organised and ill equipped SUN militia, armed with dud bombs and rusty guns. It was a SUN decision that would nearly cost him his life, and produce SUN one of the most vivid accounts of the Spanish Civil War. SUN SUN A BBC/Cymru Wales production, directed by Kate McAll.

Pegged to an initiative by an SUN independent Sydney based publisher Text Publishing to SUN re-release over 80 classic Australian novels - including SUN such neglected writers as Elizabeth Harrower, Henry Handel SUN Richardson, and Jessica Anderson - we ask if Australia has SUN neglected its literary heritage and how important is it for SUN writers and readers alike to have an awareness of what has SUN gone before both in terms of cultural identity and in SUN fostering a sense of nationhood.A fishy tale set in 1930's SUN Scarborough - Robert Hudson on his hilarious new novel The SUN Dazzle. Its a little known fact that UK tuna fishing began SUN in 1929 and attracted many sport and commercial fishermen to SUN seaside towns such as Scarborough, Whitby and Flamborough. SUN So glamourous and alluring was this nugget of information to SUN tuna obsessed historian turned writer Robert Hudson, that he SUN decided to people his new novel The Dazzle, set in a fishing SUN competition in Scarborough, with all sorts of people who SUN probably never set foot in the place, including the SUN swashbuckling Hemingway devotee Zane Grey - author of Riders SUN of the Purple Sage - and Martha Gellhorn, one of the SUN greatest war correspondants of the 20th century. Hudson SUN himself is no stranger to innovative, witty and somewhat SUN quirky ways of telling a story - he's best known to Radio 4 SUN listeners as co writer of the very successful series SUN Warhorses of Letters in which he imagines himself to be Duke SUN of Wellington's letter writing horse Copenhagen.And what SUN exactly is the human brain doing when we are enjoying the SUN magical experience of reading a good book - and what SUN difference does it make if we are reading for pleasure, or SUN for study? Assistant Professor of Literature at Michigan SUN State University Professor Natalie Philips undertook to find SUN out exactly that by asking her students to read Jane SUN Austen's Mansfield Park in a MRI scanner in a series of SUN experiments at America's Stanford Center for Cognitive and SUN Neurobiological Imaging. We discuss what the latest SUN developments in literary neuroscience could mean for the way SUN in which society as a whole evaluates the study of SUN humanities and the liberal arts.Producer: Hilary Dunn. SUN SUN 16:30 Poetry Please b01q7gvx (Listen) SUN Roger McGough with a selection of listeners' poetry SUN requests. Leontia Flynn reads her own poems. John Mackay and SUN Eleanor Tremain read work by others including Larkin, Milosz SUN and Charles Causley. SUN SUN Inspiration is the theme of two of the poems today in SUN Charles Causley's lovely 'Kelly Wood', and one by the SUN Estonian, Jaan Kaplinski. There are a couple of love poems - SUN one by RS Thomas and one by Moniza Alvi, tempered by SUN Larkin's typical cynicism in 'Love Songs in Age'. Larkin was SUN the poet who really sparked Leontia Flynn's interest in SUN poetry and she joins the programme to read a poem about SUN comfortably resisting the urge to travel, and to introduce a SUN selection of her work from her highly commended collection SUN 'Profit and Loss'. SUN There's also a poem advocating the joys of metaphor by Mark SUN Doty, a clever and moving one by the late Wislawa SUN Szymoborska called 'Cat in an Empty Apartment', and Hopkin's SUN magical celebration of weeds and wilderness, 'Inversnaid'. SUN Producer: Sarah Langan. SUN SUN 17:00 File on 4 b01pzs7d (Listen) SUN Hospitals - Open All Hours? SUN SUN The government and senior medical figures want consultants SUN to be more hands on in hospitals at weekends and at night. SUN It follows evidence patients are less likely to receive SUN prompt treatment and more likely to die if they are admitted SUN to hospital on a Saturday or Sunday. A recent survey of SUN hospital chief executives showed they had significant doubts SUN their hospitals were as safe at weekends as during the week. SUN SUN Jane Deith examines cases which raise concerns about out of SUN hours care in hospitals. Is there enough senior medical SUN support for junior doctors and how effective is the on-call SUN system where consultants are available to give advice over SUN the phone from home? SUN SUN While departments such as accident and emergency, intensive SUN care and obstetrics, already have consultants working in SUN hospitals during the weekend, some medical colleges believe SUN the time has come for 24 hour, seven days a week consultant SUN cover on the wards. Jane visits hospitals trying to achieve SUN this and hears the challenges they face. SUN SUN The programme also investigates what this increased SUN consultant presence might cost the NHS and whether there SUN will be enough senior doctors available to make it happen. SUN The College of Emergency Medicine, for example, says SUN accident and emergency departments are facing a recruitment SUN crisis and it does not expect to see the required number of SUN consultants until 2030.

Since the SUN 1980s, however, the power of executives has grown and is now SUN reflected in their own much higher financial rewards and SUN enhanced esteem. What explains this shift in power - and SUN will it last? SUN SUN Michael Blastland asks why workers have appeared to be so SUN weak as bosses have redressed the balance of power at work SUN so strikingly in their own favour. Laws curbing trade union SUN power, for example, so often cited as the explanation can, SUN though, only be part of the reason. Investors - both owners SUN and shareholders - have also lost out financially in SUN relative terms as executives have grown wealthier and SUN stronger. SUN SUN So what explains the power of the executive class? Are there SUN other trends at work which help explain the relative SUN position of executives and workers? And if both workers and SUN investors want to increase their share of the rewards how SUN might they go about it? SUN SUN Michael Blastland asks how likely investors and workers are SUN to succeed in any fight to restore their influence when they SUN face such a formidable and entrenched group of executives. SUN He speaks to representatives of all three groups and also SUN considers what business history and the experience of other SUN economies teach us about the likely outcome of the struggle.

Also on the programme, there's discussion of how SUN Lincoln has been represented on the big screen, from DW SUN Griffith's controversial Birth of a Nation in 1915 to John SUN Ford's Young Mr Lincoln in 1939 and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire SUN Hunter in 2012.

MON MON On the way in, the British faced little resistance.

MON MON Return of a King is the definitive analysis of the First MON Afghan War, told through the lives of unforgettable MON characters on all sides and using for the first time MON contemporary Afghan accounts of the conflict.

MON MON Set in 1976 in San Francisco, Tales of the City is the first MON of a sequence of novels about the denizens of the mythic MON apartment house at 28 Barbary Lane; Tales is both a MON sparkling comedy of manners and a portrait of a free and MON easy era with the drug and sex counter-culture in full MON swing. MON MON Mary Ann Singleton, a naive young woman from Cleveland, Ohio MON arrives in San Francisco, finding an apartment at 28 Barbary MON Lane, the domain of the eccentric marijuana growing landlady MON Anna Madrigal.

MON MON Are pound shops the saviours of the British high street or MON the death knell of quality? Where does all that eclectic MON stuff come from? And how come it still only costs a pound? MON Psychologists, academics, punters and pound shop operators MON help discover the origins of the pound shop and examine what MON their meteoric rise has to say about all of us.

TUE Talking about the series, John says; TUE 'I hope to talk to people who are living on the 'outside' of TUE mainstream UK society. On the street they would look like TUE anyone else but in fact they are somehow apart. I have TUE experienced being an 'outsider' myself; on my return from TUE captivity in Lebanon, when I'd look like any other Londoner, TUE but would feel utterly self-conscious and confused by the TUE world around me. I've had similar feelings following the TUE deaths of close family members. One experience was very TUE rare, the other universal. TUE I want to explore the idea of being an outsider; having TUE conversations with others who will have walked those same TUE private/public paths either through choice or because of TUE circumstances beyond their control. TUE What is it like being on the 'outside'? How do you cope with TUE loneliness and feelings of being excluded? What are the TUE attractions of removing yourself from society? What are the TUE practicalities of such a life, the numbness of living in a TUE fog for so long?

He hears from those who were there, on-stage, TUE backstage and in the audience, to re-create the event for TUE all of us who, each time we play the album, think: 'If only TUE I could have been there'. TUE TUE Paul Gambaccini re-lives Christmas Eve 1955 and The Weavers TUE reunion concert at New York's prestigious Carnegie Hall. TUE Three years after Pete Seeger's blacklisting for communist TUE sympathies had forced the highly successful folk group to TUE break up because no one was playing their records and no TUE venues would book them, their manager Harold Leventhal took TUE a risk and booked the only venue that would take them: There TUE were queues round the block and the concert was a sell-out. TUE TUE In the company of Pete Seeger himself and the other two TUE surviving Weavers, Ronnie Gilbert and Fred Hellerman, Paul TUE hears about the birth of The Weavers in the radical home of TUE folk music and left-wing politics that was 1940s Greenwich TUE Village. With their early number 1 hits: 'Goodnight Irene' TUE and 'Tzena, Tzena', The Weavers reached beyond the 'purist' TUE folk movement into the mainstream. Gino Francesconi, TUE Carnegie Hall's Archivist, finds the programme and poster TUE from the 1955 concert, which became a best-selling album TUE after it was released two years later, by Vanguard. TUE Previously an exclusively classical label, this was the TUE album which would make Vanguard the leading folk label of TUE the 1960s. TUE TUE Producer: Marya Burgess.

TUE TUE On 23 July 1961, filming started on "Whatever Happened To TUE Baby Jane?" at the Producers Studio, Hollywood. It was a TUE film that industry insiders thought would never be made, as TUE its two female stars had an ongoing feud as famous and as TUE long lasting as both of their glittering screen careers. TUE Bette Davis "the actress" and Joan Crawford "the movie star" TUE both arrived on set determined to prove everyone wrong, TUE including each other... TUE TUE Tracy-Ann's first radio play tells the story of the making TUE of a legendary film, of the creation of two iconic stars and TUE of the origins of a deep seated hatred that spanned five TUE decades.

TUE TUE 15:30 Costing the Earth b01q8mqh (Listen) TUE Berlin's Big Gamble TUE TUE It's an environmental experiment on an unprecedented scale. TUE Germany's political parties have agreed to close the TUE country's nuclear power stations and slash its use of coal, TUE oil and gas. But can the industrial powerhouse of Europe TUE really continue to churn out the BMWs and Mercedes on a TUE meagre diet of wind and solar energy? TUE TUE In the first of a new series of 'Costing the Earth' Tom Heap TUE travels to Berlin to meet the politicians of right and left TUE who share a vision for a green Germany and the TUE industrialists who fear that blind optimism has replaced TUE logic at the heart of government. TUE TUE Tom visits Feldheim, a tiny village that produces enough TUE wind power to run a city and talks to the activists who plan TUE to take over the entire electricity grid of Berlin and run TUE the capital on alternative energy. Their enthusiasm is TUE infectious but could the reality be power cuts and the TUE departure of the industrial giants to the US and the Far TUE East? TUE TUE The stakes are high. If the plan they've christened the TUE Energiewende, or energy transformation, succeeds, then TUE Germany will have created a low-carbon model for the UK and TUE the rest of the industrialised world. If it fails Germany TUE could lose its place as an economic superpower. TUE TUE 16:00 It's My Story b01gf5x8 (Listen) TUE Mr Fan, from Boatperson to Horseman TUE TUE Mr Fan fled Vietnam on a boat and landed in Greenwich. He TUE grows vegetables like a Chinese peasant, and rides horses TUE like an English gentleman. In his barber shop, he tells his TUE tale. TUE When radio producer Julian May or his sons need a haircut TUE they pop round to Mr Fan. Over the years, the blond baby and TUE the grey curls falling, his story of escape, exile, TUE settlement and identity, has emerged. TUE TUE Mr Fan is from Vietnam but is Chinese. In 1979, when the TUE Chinese crossed the border and fought a short war with her TUE neighbour, he had to leave. His family left everything and TUE clambered aboard an over-laden sailing boat. No one knew how TUE to sail or navigate. Months later they reached Hong Kong and TUE were interned. Eventually, while his father languished dying TUE in prison, he landed in England, and settled in Greenwich. TUE TUE That's the past. What is interesting is the life Mr Fan TUE leads now: very Chinese; very English. His tiny garden full TUE of pak choi; dawn exercises in the park; table tennis. As he TUE snips he sips green tea. TUE TUE But the pictures on the walls are of horses. Three times a TUE week at a suburban riding school, among the pigtailed TUE 'gels', this Chinese man in his sixties, trots, canters - TUE and now gallops and jumps - in his black velvet riding hat. TUE TUE This is what he loves, what England has given him, and he'll TUE never go back. He did go to Mongolia - on a riding holiday. TUE TUE While he cuts hair, exercises early in Greenwich Park (where TUE he enjoyed watching the Olympic equestrian events last TUE summer), tends his peasant patch and rides the horses he TUE loves, Mr Fan tells his story to Julian May who, sparingly, TUE presents a tale that reveals important aspects of identity TUE and belonging.

Michael Butt's play 'Albert Speer's Walk Around the WED World' takes us on the imaginary journeys Speer devised to WED engage his mind and keep him from despair. A sympathetic WED American guard orders him travel books from the library and WED he plots his routes methodically. But he can't escape from WED the demons of guilt about Nazi war crimes. Sometimes the WED scenes he witnesses on his trips are exhilarating; sometimes WED the people are seductive but sometimes he is glad to be WED disturbed by the prison guard yelling for him to get back WED into his tiny cell where he is forbidden to look out of the WED window. Of the other six inmates, he is closest to Rudolf WED Hess (Jack Klaff) who he sees as vulnerable and wants to WED protect, whereas Admiral Karl Donitz (Nicholas Woodeson) WED constantly baits him and tries to pull rank with him. Donitz WED can't forgive Speer for his admission of guilt at the WED Nuremberg Trials. WED WED Speer was Hitler's chief architect and his very efficient WED Minister for Armaments and War Production. In prison, he is WED rigorously self-disciplined and sets himself a tough WED regimen. Prison rules are strict but even as they relax and WED prisoners start to talk to each other, Speer keeps aloof. To WED distract himself nine years into his sentence, he designs WED and creates a garden in the spacious yard of Spandau and is WED particularly fond of his rockery and flowers. As an WED architect, he enjoys working out how the great buildings he WED visits were created and planning his routes so that he when WED he sets off, he will see and hear and meet the people he has WED carefully researched.

In THU June 1812, President James Madison declared war on Britain, THU angered by the restrictions Britain had imposed on American THU trade, the Royal Navy's capture of American sailors and THU British support for Native Americans. After three years of THU largely inconclusive fighting, the conflict finally came to THU an end with the Treaty of Ghent which, among other things, THU helped to hasten the abolition of the global slave trade. THU THU Although the War of 1812 is often overlooked, historians say THU it had a profound effect on the USA and Canada's sense of THU national identity, confirming the USA as an independent THU country. America's national anthem, The Star-Spangled Banner THU began life as a poem written after its author, Francis Scott THU Key, witnessed the British bombardment of Fort McHenry THU during the Battle of Baltimore. The war also led to Native THU Americans losing hundreds of thousands of acres of land in a THU programme of forced removal.

THU THU 11:30 The Art of Sequencing b01q95y6 (Listen) THU Guy Garvey from Elbow considers the challenge of turning a THU collection of songs into a coherent single piece of art, and THU how this has changed in the days of downloading single THU tracks. THU THU Reading the chapters of a novel in the wrong order would be THU a strange thing to do, but is the running order of an album THU still important now that you can easily create your own THU playlists? THU THU Pink Floyd felt so strongly that classic albums such as The THU Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here should be heard THU as complete works that they took their record company to THU court in an attempt to retain their artistic integrity. Nick THU Mason, Pink Floyd's drummer talks about the court case and THU sequencing the Floyd's albums. THU THU As singer with Elbow and producer of I am Kloot, Guy Garvey THU has strong opinions about the integrity of an album's THU sequencing. He talks to Pete Jobson from I am Kloot about THU their Mercury Prize-nominated album Sky at Night, and to THU Peter Hammill about sequencing on his solo albums and with THU his prog rock band Van der Graaf Generator. THU THU And the broadcaster and classical music critic Stephen THU Johnson provides examples of well-known song cycles by THU composers such as Schubert and Richard Strauss which weren't THU in fact written as complete sequences of songs at all but THU compiled by a publisher after their death.

THU Tracey Logan visits Hainsworth in Leeds, the oldest dye THU house in the UK, to discover how they make create a huge THU range of fabrics, from scarlet coats for military uniforms THU to green baize for snooker tables.

Helen Mark meets the THU community of artists who work on Johnsons Island and THU discovers how its nature and surroundings inspire them.

In this FRI episode, Essex and his pierrots are a huge success at Henley FRI - despite the rain! FRI FRI The seaside pierrot troupe is an uniquely British art form, FRI which began in 1891. That year, a gifted banjo player and FRI producer of entertainments for society events, called FRI Clifford Essex, watched a performance of L'Enfant Prodigue FRI at The Prince of Wales Theatre. It was a largely mimed FRI performance featuring a family of pierrots and it gave Essex FRI the idea of costuming a concert party in white satin, FRI pompoms and ruffles, to perform banjo pieces at The Henley FRI Regatta and, later that year, at Cowes. FRI FRI The project was a resounding success and led to his troupe FRI performing throughout the country for almost three decades. FRI During this time, the idea was copied and developed in such FRI a way that, by the 1920s, there were more than 500 pierrot FRI troupes performing along the coasts of Britain. These FRI troupes were the stand-up comedy club and indie pop charts FRI of their day - it was here that artists honed their craft by FRI learning old routines and developing new ideas. They paved FRI the way for the styles of music and humour that subsequently FRI found a mass audience on radio and television. FRI FRI The reader, Tony Lidington is known by many people as 'Uncle FRI Tacko', leader and founder of The Pierrotters, the FRI last-remaining professional, seaside pierrot troupe in FRI Britain, now in its 27th year of performing.
