Yoshida and introduced SAT by David Mitchell SAT Read by Kasper Hilton-Hille SAT SAT Thirteen year old Naoki Higashida invites us into his world, SAT an intimate astonishing insight into the perceptions and SAT feelings of a child with autism. He explains his simple SAT delight in spinning objects, and his own pleasure in SAT movement, which is deeply calming for him and stems from a SAT feeling that in stillness his very soul might detach itself SAT from his body. SAT SAT Naoki's autism is so severe that he finds it difficult to SAT hold a conversation, and he wrote the book painstakingly, SAT using an 'Alphabet Grid', Japanese character by character. SAT His writing reveals a young teenager sensitive to the SAT feelings and perceptions of others but often isolated from SAT those he loves. SAT SAT When the author David Mitchell, whose own son has autism, SAT discovered this extraordinary book, he felt that for the SAT first time his own son was talking to him about what was SAT going on inside his head, through the words of the young SAT author.

SAT SAT In 1995 Tara decided he needed an adventure and made the SAT decision to walk from the Midlands - where he'd grown up, SAT married and settled - back to his home village in India. SAT SAT He walked to Southampton where he caught the ferry to SAT Cherbourg. There he realised he didn't speak any French, he SAT couldn't even say 'bonjour'... but, despite being hit by the SAT reality of what he'd decided to do, he couldn't turn back. SAT SAT Nineteen months later, of almost non-stop walking, he SAT arrived in his home village but instead of returning home, SAT remembers thinking 'is that it?', and stayed in India for a SAT further 18 months.

SAT SAT 10:30 Zeitgeisters b0366wms (Listen) SAT YouTube SAT SAT As part of Radio 4's Year of Culture initiative, the BBC SAT Arts Editor Will Gompertz meets the cultural entrepreneurs SAT who are shaping our lives and defining the very spirit of SAT our age. SAT SAT These are not Turner Prize winners or the recipients of SAT grants from the Arts Council or the Lottery Fund. These are SAT the people behind the scenes, pulling the strings and SAT plotting a path of consumer-driven success. They are the SAT designers of the latest 'must have' piece of technology or SAT clothing, the brains behind an artist's development, and the SAT tastemakers that know what will work at the box office and SAT what will sell on the high street. Their impact goes beyond SAT mere commerce, it shapes contemporary culture. They are the SAT Zeitgeisters and it's about time we met them. SAT SAT Programme 3. YouTube - For a platform that was launched in SAT 2005 as a means of sharing personal videos on the internet SAT (the very first YouTube video was called 'Me At The Zoo' and SAT was uploaded by co-founder Jawed Karim), it has become a SAT major player in how we consume video content and SAT increasingly in how we make it. Today 100 hours of video are SAT uploaded onto YouTube every minute... six billion hours of SAT video are watched every month. And by the time you finish SAT reading this description, those figures may already be out SAT of date. SAT SAT The BBC Arts Editor, Will Gompertz, in searching for the SAT next generation of cultural Zeitgeisters, meets the people SAT who are moving YouTube up to the next level: 'YouTubers' SAT like Benjamin Cook, who posts regular episodes of 'Becoming SAT YouTube' on his channel Nine Brass Monkeys; Andy Taylor, SAT who's 'Little Dot Studios' aims to bridge the gap between SAT television and YouTube; and Ben McOwen Wilson who is SAT Director of Content Partnerships for YouTube in Europe.

We SAT hear from Money Box listeners about their experiences and SAT the Financial Conduct Authority about its concerns and what SAT action it wants insurers to take. SAT SAT Some care homes are telling elderly residents whose bills SAT are paid by the council that they must now pay more on top. SAT That means a relative or friend has to chip in as the law SAT forbids the resident from doing so. What happens if you SAT refuse? Can the home make good on threats to evict the SAT person or put them in a shared room? We speak to Simon SAT Bottery from Independent Age. SAT SAT We examine the last minute flood insurance deal that has SAT been struck between the government and the insurance SAT industry with Mary Dhonau from the campaign and support SAT group 'Know Your Flood Risk'. From 2015 the cost of flood SAT insurance for 500,000 at-risk homes will vary by council tax SAT band but there will be exceptions including homes in the SAT highest council tax band H, those built in 2009 or later, SAT and those that are uninsurable. SAT SAT If you are one of the 4.6 million Lloyds bank customers who SAT will be hived off to TSB this summer what are your rights to SAT stay with Lloyds if you want to? And is the bank making SAT those rights - and the problems you may face - clear? The SAT bank's Retail Banking Director answers listeners' SAT complaints. SAT SAT A new version of a Capital One credit card gives better SAT benefits. But existing customers won't get it unless they SAT re-apply. Claire Francis from Money Saving Supermarket takes SAT a look at the best credit card deals on the market.

SAT SAT Directed by Jessica Dromgoole & Sasha Yevtushenko SAT Sound design by Colin Guthrie SAT SAT Production co-ordinator: Phil Hawkins SAT Studio managers: Martha Littlehailes, Anne Bunting, Alison SAT Craig SAT SAT Notes SAT Queen Mary SAT From her earliest years Mary was at the centre of a power SAT struggle: as a child queen, with contending regents; then on SAT her own behalf, balancing powerful men - the King of France, SAT Darnley and Bothwell - against each other and using her own SAT considerable powers to ensure her survival; then against her SAT own countrymen, determined to bring her down and finally, SAT with her cousin Elizabeth of England, this last a desperate SAT and doomed fight for life itself and the survival of her SAT line. There is not a single British monarch whose life was SAT so dramatic, bringing together dynastic struggles, love and SAT murder, the shadowy world of the spy and the lethal jealousy SAT of cousins. SAT SAT The Stuarts SAT Shakespeare and Marlow were born three years before James VI SAT of Scotland and I of England. Three years before Queen Anne SAT died, Thomas Newcomen created a piston driven steam engine. SAT SAT The age of the Stuarts is the age in which Britain entered SAT the modern world. Within the brief historical span of its SAT 111 years, the nation experienced virtually all the SAT excitements and alarms we recognise in our own times, from SAT financial meltdown to foreign wars; from the growth of SAT parliamentary democracy to uprisings of the popular will; SAT from the splendours of Catholic ritual to the rigours of SAT religious fundamentalism; from a strict patriarchal society SAT to the first, faint beginnings of female emancipation; from SAT the domination of the stage to the birth of the novel and SAT from a renaissance way of thought to the creation of SAT scientific method and the first stirrings of psychology.

SAT SAT 21:00 Dangerous Visions b02y0wpp (Listen) SAT Concrete Island SAT SAT By J.G. Ballard SAT Adapted by Graham White SAT SAT Driving home one Friday rush hour, a cocky young architect SAT crashes down a motorway embankment. At first he seems bound SAT to be rescued, but as he fails to make the passing commuters SAT notice him, he finds himself trapped on a strange, neglected SAT island between the highways. Can this modern day Crusoe SAT survive in a strange new world? SAT SAT Directed by Mary Peate SAT SAT Radio 4's Dangerous Visions Season: SAT SAT The adjective Ballardian refers to the writer 'JG Ballard's SAT fearful imaginings of what the near future might be like. SAT Even though the master creator of dystopian futures died SAT four years ago, his vision of what our future might become SAT feels as relevant, satirical and as scary as ever. Radio 4's SAT Dangerous Visions is a season of dramas that explore SAT contemporary takes on future dystopias. Dramatisations of SAT Ballard's seminal works, Drowned World and Concrete Island, SAT straddle the season, and we have asked five leading radio SAT writers - Nick Perry, Ed Harris, Michael Symmonds Roberts, SAT Michael Butt and Philip Palmer - to imagine what life might SAT be like in the near future if everything goes wrong - and SAT their Dangerous Visions form the bedrock of the series: SAT clever, imaginative and disturbing takes on just what might SAT happen. What happens if sleep is outlawed? If cloning SAT becomes a matter of course, and your loved ones are capable SAT of being cloned? If North London declares UDI on South SAT London, which has become a wasteland? If human sacrifice SAT becomes a part of society? We are also running a 5 part SAT dramatisation of Jane Roger's award winning terrifying novel SAT The Testament of Jessie Lamb, dramatised by the author SAT SAT Dangerous Visions - you will be disturbed as you see the SAT present reflected in the glass SAT of an uneasy future.

SAT SAT 22:15 Moral Maze b02ykygq (Listen) SAT They've been called the Dick Turpin generation - but time SAT could be up for the Baby Boomers this week as the Chancellor SAT announces spending cuts of £11.5 billion in the Spending SAT Review. With budgets so tight previously sacrosanct SAT universal benefits, like free bus passes and winter fuel SAT payments for rich pensioners start to look tempting targets. SAT But for some this is more than just an argument about SAT balancing the books - it's about inter-generational equity. SAT Instead of being custodians of future generations the Baby SAT Boomers are accused of busily raiding their kids' SAT piggy-banks - saddling them with a vast and increasing SAT national debt to fund for their own generous pensions and SAT welfare payouts. That, combined with universal free SAT healthcare, free education to degree level and steadily SAT rising house values have made the post-war generation SAT healthier and wealthier than any before. And now they're SAT accused of pulling up the ladder behind them. Following SAT generations if they want to go to university will leave with SAT a massive debt hanging over them, 1 in 5 16 to 24 year olds SAT are unemployed, housing is now so expensive the average SAT first time buyer is 35 years old, they'll have to work SAT longer before they get a pension and when they do it will be SAT pitifully small compared to the those of their parents. Is SAT this just a sad fact of the recession or is a greater moral SAT crime being committed here - "generational theft"? Can you SAT really blame the post-war generation for the luck of having SAT lived through a period of unprecedented peace and prosperity SAT and then claiming what is their right and what they've SAT already paid for through their taxes? And the silver pound SAT adds billions to the economy through spending, property and SAT savings. Or have the baby boomers become uniquely blind to SAT their own selfishness while they steal the future from SAT underneath the noses of their own children? Or do the young SAT only have themselves to blame because they don't vote and SAT the older generation does? The morality of SAT inter-generational equity. SAT Combative, provocative and engaging debate chaired by SAT Michael Buerk. With Anne McElvoy, Giles Fraser, Matthew SAT Taylor and Melanie Phillips. Witnesses: Ros Altmann - Former SAT Director-General of Saga, Angus Hanton - co-founder of the SAT Intergenerational Foundation, Ed Howker - co-author of SAT "Jilted Generation: how Britain has bankrupted its youth", SAT Stuart Prebble - producer of 'Grumpy Old Men' TV series and SAT books.

Or which singer SAT made the most successful recording of the soul standard 'The SAT Shoop Shoop Song'? SAT SAT If so, you may be able to match the contestants in today's SAT quiz. Paul Gambaccini asks these and many other questions in SAT the wide-ranging music quiz, this week featuring contestants SAT from Brighton, Bristol and Cheltenham.

SUN SUN Three years ago he had come into some money and it had SUN turned his head. Then the farm seemed too small for him. He SUN went to look at bigger farms miles away.

Recession in Spain and France, the SUN long-established markets for Scottish lobster, means that SUN demand there has waned, and it's the Far East with its love SUN of whelks which is providing a consistent market for Jay and SUN his fellow fishermen.

SUN SUN Acid Survivors Trust International SUN SUN Every year thousands of people across the world are SUN subjected to pre-meditated attacks with nitric, hydrochloric SUN or sulphuric acid, thrown at the face to disfigure and SUN blind. It causes skin tissue to melt, often exposing and SUN sometimes dissolving the bones below. Survivors can face SUN social isolation and permanent disfigurement. SUN SUN The vast majority of victims are women. Refusal of marriage SUN proposals or sexual advances, disputes over dowry payments SUN and revenge are the reasons most often cited for attacks. SUN Many victims fear reporting attacks due to the threat of SUN reprisals - meaning that few perpetrators are ever brought SUN to justice. Acid attacks therefore constitute a partially SUN hidden form of violence against women. SUN SUN Survivors need immediate specialist medical treatment, SUN sanctuary (if fleeing the perpetrator), reconstructive SUN surgery, follow up physiotherapy, counselling and long-term SUN rehabilitation. Unfortunately, in many countries this SUN support is simply not available. SUN SUN Acid Survivors Trust International works globally to combat SUN acid violence and its effects. The charity supports the SUN treatment, care and rehabilitation of survivors, researches SUN and documents acid attacks globally and helps survivors SUN lobby at national and international levels to bring about SUN legal changes to protect people from acid attacks.

SUN SUN An author and Harvard professor he's been named by Time SUN Magazine as one of the world's 100 most influential SUN scientists and thinkers. SUN SUN The psychology of violence and where language comes from are SUN just two of his specialist subjects. Bill Gates is SUN officially a fan, the man who sends him hate mail related to SUN his work on irregular verbs is not. It would seem that SUN whenever he publishes yet another best-selling book SUN controversy is never far behind - his recent contention that SUN we live in an "unusually peaceful time" drew opprobrium from SUN many quarters. SUN SUN Born and brought up in Montreal his parents encouraged SUN vigorous debate around the dinner table - indeed it was his SUN mother's interest in the psychology of language and SUN linguistics that sparked his own. SUN SUN He says "I appreciate what my parents did for me beyond SUN words. Not in making me what I am, but in my view of what's SUN important in life, what I think about and cherish."

SUN SUN 13:30 Tales from the Stave b02ykrd3 (Listen) SUN Series 9, Porgy and Bess SUN SUN In the last of the current series of Tales from the Stave SUN Frances Fyfield returns to the Library of Congress in SUN Washington to see one of their most treasured possessions. SUN George Gershwin's Opera Porgy and Bess still provokes debate SUN today from those uneasy at the work of three white men, SUN George, his brother Ira and the lyricist Dubose Heyward, in SUN depicting the world of what amounts to a black Ghetto in SUN early 20th century South Carolina. However, the brilliance SUN of the music, and the complexity and craft of Gershwin's SUN score is beyond dispute. SUN SUN Frances is joined by the conductor and writer Nigel Simeone, SUN the library's expert Raymond White and most important of all SUN by Solomon Howard of the Washington National Opera. Solomon, SUN who's sung the role of Porgy and has himself experienced SUN life at the bottom end of American society, is given the SUN chance to perform from Gershwin's original manuscript. In SUN doing so he finds small but vital changes from the texts SUN he's used to, as well as evidence of the detailed but vital SUN changes George Gershwin made to the lyrics delivered to him SUN by Heyward - lyrics including famous hits like 'Summertime'. SUN SUN As well as a full orchestral score there are also the SUN fragments and sketches Gershwin made while living in SUN Carolina where he sought inspiration for this, his most SUN ambitious work.

SUN SUN The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a SUN snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the SUN UK volunteer to have a conversation with someone close to SUN them about a subject they've never discussed intimately SUN before. 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. You can upload your own conversations or SUN just learn more about The Listening Project by visiting SUN bbc.co.uk/listeningproject SUN SUN Producer: Marya Burgess.

He seeks to vindicate his mother's SUN memory and attacks those who attacked her; he encourages SUN learning and discourages foreign adventures, he supports SUN brilliant men and women but, when convenient, or when SUN bullied, allows them to be destroyed. At his death, will he SUN leave as difficult an inheritance to his son as his mother SUN did to him?

MON Followed by Weather. MON MON 00:15 Thinking Allowed b02ykygb (Listen) MON Welfare reform; Crime in the Armed Forces MON MON Crime in the Armed Forces - Laurie Taylor talks to Emeritus MON Professor of History, Clive Emsley, about his pioneering, MON historical study into criminal offending by members of MON British armed forces both during and immediately after the MON two world wars of the 20th century, and concluding in the MON present day. MON MON For a quarter of the 20th century, the UK had large MON conscripted armed forces and it is these services, and in MON particular the Army, that are the principal focus of this MON study. Emsley argues that the forces "reflect the society MON from which they come, both the good and the bad", pointing MON out that it's predominantly made up of younger men, the MON social group that commits the most crime. He also examines MON two popular assumptions about crime and war; namely, that MON crime decreases when wars begin as young men - those MON likeliest to commit crimes - are swept up into the forces; MON and that crime goes up at the end of war as men brutalised MON by combat returned to the civilian world but, unable to cope MON with 'peacetime', engage in crime and violence. Dr Deirdre MON MacManus, from King's College, joins the discussion, having MON recently completed a study into the relationship between MON combat experience and violent crime amongst British soldiers MON returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan. MON MON Also, Ruth Patrick's research into the lived experiences of MON welfare reform. She's interviewed a range of out of work MON benefits claimants between 2011 and 2013. Talking to single MON parents being moved from Income Support onto Jobseeker's MON Allowance, disabled people waiting to be migrated off MON Incapacity Benefit and onto Employment and Support MON Allowance, and young jobseekers experiencing the new MON Jobcentre/Work Programme and sanctions regime, her study MON gives a unique insight into the impact of a revolution in MON 'welfare' provision on 'real' people.

MON MON 'Casting Off' is the final book in the Cazalet novels by MON Elizabeth Jane Howard, which together give a vivid insight MON into the lives, hopes and loves of three generations during MON the Second World War and beyond. MON MON As Elizabeth Jane Howard enters her 90th Birthday year, MON Radio 4 are broadcasting dramatisations of all four novels MON between January and July 2013. MON You can catch up with series three, The Cazalets: Confusion, MON on iPlayer. MON MON This fourth series is set between the summer of 1945 and MON 1947. MON MON With Rupert missing in France since Dunkirk, his beautiful MON young wife Zoe has had an affair with the American MON photographer, Jack, who has subsequently killed himself. Zoe MON has found solace in her daughter, Juliet and in Rupert's MON friend Archie, who is also a great source of support to her MON step-daughter, Clary. Should Rupert return, Archie is hoping MON for something more than friendship with Clary, but has kept MON this to himself. Meanwhile, Clary's cousin Polly has told MON Archie that she loves him and he has had to turn her down as MON gently as he can. Louise's marriage teeters on the brink, MON since her husband Michael destroyed a letter sent by her MON lover, Hugo whilst Edward's affair with Diana continues: MON she's almost certainly had two of his children. Sid, MON however, has finished her affair with her student, Thelma, MON hoping to bring Rachel back into her life again. But the MON best laid plans are wont to be sabotaged ... MON MON When Elizabeth Jane Howard began writing the novels her aims MON were modest. "I wanted to write about my youth, and the ten MON years that straddled the Second World War. I also wanted to MON write about what domestic life was like for people at home. MON A lot has been written about the battles and the war in a MON more direct sense, but little had been said about the way MON the whole of England changed. When the war ended, everybody MON was in a different position from where they were when it MON started." MON Two decades later, Howard's quartet of books -- The Light MON Years, Marking Time, Confusion and Casting Off - charting MON the family's fortunes between 1937 and 1947 have sold over a MON million copies. MON Martin Amis said of Elizabeth Jane Howard, "She is, with MON Iris Murdoch, the most interesting woman writer of her MON generation. An instinctivist, like Muriel Spark, she has a MON freakish and poetic eye, and a penetrating sanity." MON A star cast includes Penelope Wilton as the narrator, Pip MON Torrens, Lisa Dillon, Naomi Frederick, Helen Schlesinger, MON Raymond Coulthard, Zoe Tapper, Alix Wilton Regan, Flora MON Spencer-Longhurst and Georgia Groome. MON Casting Off is dramatised by Lin Coghlan.

From Katie Price to Kate Middleton, no well dressed MON woman, or man, would now be seen without one. While social MON position used to be judged on accent and clothing, it now MON comes down to skin tone; with burnt umber tones being more MON prevalent in the north and subtle olive tones more common in MON the south. But, as one tanning expert bluntly explains to MON Kit, there's one thing we can all agree on: brown fat looks MON better than white. MON MON As one who modelled himself on Adam Ant and the New MON Romantics of the 80s, Kit is not unfamiliar with the muddy, MON fake-tan look that could be achieved thirty years ago with a MON bottle of sticky brown liquid. However, he remains a spray MON tan virgin. In the hands of celebrity tanner James Read, aka MON The Tantalist, will Kit agree to don a paper thong and MON discover what all the fuss is about? MON MON Seemingly recession proof and, most importantly, the safest MON way to achieve the sun kissed look, fake tan has become the MON fastest growing sector of the cosmetics industry with a MON retail value of over 100 million pounds in the UK alone. MON MON Kit talks to those who have shaped the industry to discover MON if this is a trend that's here to stay and why we all now MON wish to be beyond the pale. And he visits Liverpool, the MON fake tan capital of Britain, where over half the population MON are sneering at the vagaries of the weather and are tanned MON all year round.

TUE TUE Produced and directed by Sally Avens and Marion Nancarrow TUE TUE 'Casting Off' is the final book in the Cazalet novels by TUE Elizabeth Jane Howard, which together give a vivid insight TUE into the lives, hopes and loves of three generations during TUE the Second World War and beyond. TUE As Elizabeth Jane Howard enters her 90th Birthday year, TUE Radio 4 are broadcasting dramatisations of all four novels TUE between January and July 2013. TUE You can catch up with series three, The Cazalets: Confusion, TUE on iPlayer. TUE This fourth series is set between the summer of 1945 and TUE 1947. TUE With Rupert missing in France since Dunkirk, his beautiful TUE young wife Zoe has had an affair with the American TUE photographer, Jack, who has subsequently killed himself. Zoe TUE has found solace in her daughter, Juliet and in Rupert's TUE friend Archie, who is also a great source of support to her TUE step-daughter, Clary. Should Rupert return, Archie is hoping TUE for something more than friendship with Clary, but has kept TUE this to himself. Meanwhile, Clary's cousin Polly has told TUE Archie that she loves him and he has had to turn her down as TUE gently as he can. Louise's marriage teeters on the brink, TUE since her husband Michael destroyed a letter sent by her TUE lover, Hugo whilst Edward's affair with Diana continues: TUE she's almost certainly had two of his children. Sid, TUE however, has finished her affair with her student, Thelma, TUE hoping to bring Rachel back into her life again. But the TUE best laid plans are wont to be sabotaged ... TUE When Elizabeth Jane Howard began writing the novels her aims TUE were modest. "I wanted to write about my youth, and the ten TUE years that straddled the Second World War. I also wanted to TUE write about what domestic life was like for people at home. TUE A lot has been written about the battles and the war in a TUE more direct sense, but little had been said about the way TUE the whole of England changed. When the war ended, everybody TUE was in a different position from where they were when it TUE started." TUE Two decades later, Howard's quartet of books -- The Light TUE Years, Marking Time, Confusion and Casting Off - charting TUE the family's fortunes between 1937 and 1947 have sold over a TUE million copies. TUE Martin Amis said of Elizabeth Jane Howard, "She is, with TUE Iris Murdoch, the most interesting woman writer of her TUE generation. An instinctivist, like Muriel Spark, she has a TUE freakish and poetic eye, and a penetrating sanity." TUE A star cast includes Penelope Wilton as the narrator, Pip TUE Torrens, Lisa Dillon, Naomi Frederick, Helen Schlesinger, TUE Raymond Coulthard, Zoe Tapper, Alix Wilton Regan, Flora TUE Spencer-Longhurst and Georgia Groome.

Monty Don discusses if we should put a price tag on TUE nature and if so how do we value it? This week there is a TUE report from St. Andrews in North East Scotland where Trai TUE Anfield explores the value of the Eden Estuary to both TUE nature conversation and human activity. Estuaries and mud TUE flats protect our coastlines and filter water entering the TUE sea, as well as provide food for many birds - but here and TUE all over the world coastlines are under threat from TUE development.

Kim TUE Normanton presents a personal programme about memory and TUE dementia, inspired by her mother's illness. She explores a TUE new approach to treatment - recreating the past. TUE TUE As her mother's memory of recent events was destroyed, Kim TUE discovered that she could only reach her by entering the TUE past. She began sharing memories of her mother's childhood TUE with theatrical props: "She can't reach where I'm living TUE anymore, so it's up to me to go back to happier days in the TUE past and reach her." TUE TUE This approach to dementia is tried on a much larger scale in TUE Hogewey Dementia Village in Holland. The village recreates TUE the surroundings of the residents' youth, with old-fashioned TUE furnishings and even a supermarket selling old-fashioned TUE sweets. Kim talks to the director about ethical issues: is TUE it right to deceive people with this theatrical illusion? TUE TUE In Britain, she finds care homes increasingly using TUE 'reminiscence objects' to stimulate dementia sufferers. Kim TUE visits a Cornwall home where Janet Brown, known locally as TUE 'the Memory Lady', organizes group memory sessions using old TUE toys and kitchen utensils plucked from a memory box. She TUE says, "It's a horrible disease and there's no cure, but TUE there are moments which we can make more pleasurable for TUE those living with it, and their carers." TUE TUE Kim explores the latest memory science with Dr Catherine TUE Loveday of the University of Westminster: "The biggest TUE problem with dementia is a lack of narrative - being TUE suspended in space without the context of memories to TUE support you. But I've seen people with dementia who are very TUE happy. When you're reminiscing, you really are in that world TUE and enjoying that moment." TUE TUE Producers: Kim Normanton and Elizabeth Burke.

Sadly, only half of Temple's adventures WED survive in the archives. WED WED In 2006 BBC Radio 4 brought one of the lost serials back to WED life with Crawford Logan and Gerda Stevenson as Paul and WED Steve. Using the original scripts and incidental music, and WED recorded using vintage microphones and sound effects, the WED production of Paul Temple and the Sullivan Mystery aimed to WED sound as much as possible like the 1947 original might have WED done if its recording had survived. The serial proved so WED popular that it was soon followed by three more revivals, WED Paul Temple and the Madison Mystery, Paul Temple and Steve, WED and A Case for Paul Temple. WED WED Now it's the turn of Paul Temple and the Gregory Affair from WED 1946, in which Paul and Steve come to the aid of a baffled WED Scotland Yard in pursuit of a deadly and mysterious criminal WED mastermind.

WED Laurie Taylor talks to Colin Jerolmack, an American WED sociologist, who spent over 3 years studying pigeon/human WED interaction across 3 continents.

His themes were THU visions, dreams and madness and his novel The Hill of Dreams THU was described on publication as "the most decadent book in THU the English language". Machen was also responsible for one THU of the great myths of the First World War - the story of the THU 'Angels of Mons'- and he has inspired generations of horror THU writers and film-makers, from Stephen King to Guillermo del THU Toro. THU THU Machen spent a solitary childhood roaming the hills and THU woodlands of his native Monmouthshire. He became fascinated THU by the history and folklore of the border landscapes and the THU idea that this was a 'thin place' which touched supernatural THU borders too. As a writer he returned to this area again and THU again in stories which revealed abduction, possession and THU routes into dark underworlds. By contrast, his other THU favourite place was London and he was probably the first THU horror writer to set terrifying events in everyday, suburban THU settings. THU THU Writer Horatio Clare grew up in the same Welsh landscapes THU which so haunted and inspired Machen. On the 150th THU anniversary of his literary predecessor's birth, Horatio THU Clare hunts for Machen and his supernatural familiars in a THU North London necropolis, a faun-haunted wood and a THU nightjar-haunted hill. And he meets an artist whose work was THU already full of malevolent Machen-esque faeries long before THU she discovered that Arthur Machen was actually her THU great-grandfather.

FRI FRI Produced and directed by Sally Avens and Marion Nancarrow FRI FRI 'Casting Off' is the final book in the Cazalet novels by FRI Elizabeth Jane Howard, which together give a vivid insight FRI into the lives, hopes and loves of three generations during FRI the Second World War and beyond. FRI As Elizabeth Jane Howard enters her 90th Birthday year, FRI Radio 4 are broadcasting dramatisations of all four novels FRI between January and July 2013. FRI You can catch up with series three, The Cazalets: Confusion, FRI on iPlayer. FRI This fourth series is set between the summer of 1945 and FRI 1947. FRI With Rupert missing in France since Dunkirk, his beautiful FRI young wife Zoe has had an affair with the American FRI photographer, Jack, who has subsequently killed himself. Zoe FRI has found solace in her daughter, Juliet and in Rupert's FRI friend Archie, who is also a great source of support to her FRI step-daughter, Clary. Should Rupert return, Archie is hoping FRI for something more than friendship with Clary, but has kept FRI this to himself. Meanwhile, Clary's cousin Polly has told FRI Archie that she loves him and he has had to turn her down as FRI gently as he can. Louise's marriage teeters on the brink, FRI since her husband Michael destroyed a letter sent by her FRI lover, Hugo whilst Edward's affair with Diana continues: FRI she's almost certainly had two of his children. Sid, FRI however, has finished her affair with her student, Thelma, FRI hoping to bring Rachel back into her life again. But the FRI best laid plans are wont to be sabotaged ... FRI When Elizabeth Jane Howard began writing the novels her aims FRI were modest. "I wanted to write about my youth, and the ten FRI years that straddled the Second World War. I also wanted to FRI write about what domestic life was like for people at home. FRI A lot has been written about the battles and the war in a FRI more direct sense, but little had been said about the way FRI the whole of England changed. When the war ended, everybody FRI was in a different position from where they were when it FRI started." FRI Two decades later, Howard's quartet of books -- The Light FRI Years, Marking Time, Confusion and Casting Off - charting FRI the family's fortunes between 1937 and 1947 have sold over a FRI million copies. FRI Martin Amis said of Elizabeth Jane Howard, "She is, with FRI Iris Murdoch, the most interesting woman writer of her FRI generation. An instinctivist, like Muriel Spark, she has a FRI freakish and poetic eye, and a penetrating sanity." FRI A star cast includes Penelope Wilton as the narrator, Pip FRI Torrens, Lisa Dillon, Naomi Frederick, Helen Schlesinger, FRI Raymond Coulthard, Zoe Tapper, Alix Wilton Regan, Flora FRI Spencer-Longhurst and Georgia Groome.

And no one knows FRI better than Dave and Gary what's involved in shifting the FRI items traded up and down the country. FRI FRI The idea was simple: the depression in the building trade FRI left Gary casting round for an alternative occupation. He's FRI quite entrepreneurial and when someone suggested buying a FRI van and cashing in on the eBay boom he decided to do just FRI that, roping his uncle Dave in on what is now a family FRI business. FRI FRI They operate from a garage on a council estate in FRI Cottingley, on the outskirts of Bradford, but for most of FRI the week they're on the road - picking up and dropping FRI everything from household goods to wool and even ornamental FRI fountains! Their job takes them up and down the country and FRI in just one journey they pick up a bed from the Speaker's FRI wife, Sally Bercow - who has sold it on eBay to someone in FRI the North - and drop off a rusting metal bench from Salford FRI to a new owner in the South who hopes it will net him many FRI thousands of pounds. FRI FRI This might not be the future they once envisaged: Dave spent FRI thirty years as a metal worker but when he topped 26 stones FRI in weight his knees gave in and he lost his job. He has had FRI gastric surgery and lost a third of his body weight but is FRI sticking with the van driving for the time being. His FRI nephew, Gary, needs him: he has a baby on the way and thinks FRI he's identified an opportunity to make money from our FRI national obsession with bargain hunting.

FRI FRI It took a year for her to make the recent move from Glasgow FRI to London.

FRI FRI But when staying with others, and in particular, relying on FRI the generosity of friends, there's the challenge of FRI observing the peculiar bathroom etiquette of others, while FRI being polite to one's hosts. And when she's house-sitting, FRI and those generous friends are away on holiday, there's the FRI issue of lying awake at night in their habitual, well-used FRI beds, everything in their home covered with the patina of FRI their lives, an intrusion too far.
