SAT SAT 00:30 Book of the Week b03b97bc (Listen) SAT The Inheritor's Powder - A Cautionary Tale of Poison, SAT Betrayal and Greed, Episode 5 SAT SAT On the morning of Saturday 2nd of November 1833, the Bodle SAT household sat down to their morning breakfast, sharing a pot SAT of coffee. That evening, the local surgeon John Butler SAT received an urgent summons - the family and their servants SAT had all collapsed with a serious illness. Three days later, SAT after lingering in agony, the wealthy grandfather George SAT Bodle died in his bed at his farmhouse in Plumstead. The SAT Bodles had been the victims of a terrible poisoning. SAT SAT In the nineteenth century, criminal poisoning with arsenic SAT was frighteningly easy. For a few pence and with few SAT questions asked, it was possible to buy enough poison to SAT kill off an entire family, hence arsenic's popular name - SAT The Inheritor's Powder. SAT SAT The surgeon John Butler had set about collecting the SAT evidence that he hoped would bring the culprit to justice SAT but, in the 1830s, forensic science was still in its SAT infancy. Even diagnosing arsenic poisoning was a SAT hit-and-miss affair. SAT SAT So when a chemist named James Marsh was called as an expert SAT witness in the case of the murder at Plumstead, he decided SAT that he had to create a reliable test for arsenic poisoning, SAT or the murders would continue and killers would be left to SAT walk free. In so doing though he was to cause as many SAT problems as he solved. Were innocent men and women now going SAT to the gallows? SAT SAT Sandra Hempel, author of The Inheritor's Powder, is a SAT medical journalist who has written for a wide variety of SAT both popular newspapers and magazines and specialist SAT publications, from the Mail on Sunday and The Times to SAT Nursing Times and BMA News.

SAT SAT The 70s were the heyday of the music genre and the Wigan SAT Casino even beat New York's Studio 54 for title of Billboard SAT Magazine 'best disco in the world' in 1978. SAT SAT Northern Soul is often thought to be firmly rooted in place SAT and time but four decades on from the opening of the Wigan SAT Casino, Annie Nightingale discovers how it's capturing the SAT imagination of people as far east as Japan. SAT SAT She looks back at the roots of Northern Soul before hearing SAT from DJs spinning their discs in Kobe, a Northern Soul band SAT in Tokyo and regulars at night spots in several Japanese SAT cities. SAT SAT Soulies in England and Japan reflect on what it is that SAT helps them 'keep the faith' while Annie tries to work out if SAT there's a connection between the Northern England of the 70s SAT and the Japan of 2013.

Joining SAT Bridget Kendall are: Japanese-American writer Katie SAT Kitamura, whose latest novel was inspired by volcanic ash SAT travelling across boundaries; Xenia Nikolskaya, a Russian SAT photographer who has captured images of deserted palaces and SAT mansions in Egypt that are covered in dust; and Professor SAT Charlie Bristow, a sedimentologist from Birkbeck College at SAT the University of London, who has worked in the dustiest SAT place on earth - the Bodélé basin in the Sahara - and has SAT been examining why dust travels the Atlantic to nourish the SAT Amazon rainforest.

All will be revealed. SAT SAT Tony Grant produces From Our Own Correspondent. SAT SAT 12:00 Money Box b03bd244 (Listen) SAT Pension crackdown; Child benefit fine warning; Outing closet SAT trackers SAT SAT The Office of Fair Trading says £40 billion pounds of SAT pension money is tied up in funds that give poor value for SAT money. Most of it is in old and often expensive funds some SAT of which take 2.3% of the pension savings every year. The SAT average cost of new funds is little more than 0.5% a year. SAT The OFT is so worried it has called for an assessment, an SAT audit, a consultation, and a scrutiny. But it does not go as SAT far as capping charges which many would welcome. SAT SAT Thousands of higher earners could be fined hundreds of SAT pounds if they don't contact HMRC within the next two weeks. SAT The people at risk earned more than £50,000 in 2012/13 and SAT they, or their partner, got child benefit between 7 January SAT and 5 April 2013. Unless they are already registered for SAT self-assessment they must do so by 5 October. About 350,000 SAT have to register as a result of the Child Benefit High SAT Income Charge which will tax back some or all of the child SAT benefit. The Chief Executive of HMRC will explain the rules. SAT SAT People who run investment funds that simply track a stock SAT market index like the FTSE 100 have much lower costs than SAT active funds run by a manager and a team of researchers who SAT buy and sell shares in the hope of outperforming the index. SAT But some high cost managed funds are no more than 'closet SAT trackers' which basically invest almost entirely in the big SAT companies in the FTSE 100.So why do some charge as much as SAT actively managed funds? SAT SAT A charity has told Money Box it has had 60 fraudulent direct SAT debits taken from its account in four years. Last week we SAT revealed how easy it is to set up a direct debit using SAT simply a sort code and bank account number. This week BACS - SAT the system that sets up Direct Debits - explains what it SAT does to check Direct Debits are genuine. SAT SAT 12:30 Bremner's One Question Quiz b03b2zbp (Listen) SAT What Does the Future Hold? SAT SAT Rory Bremner's satirical comedy takes one big contemporary SAT question each week and attempts to answer it. Regular SAT panellists Andy Zaltzman, Kate O'Sullivan and Nick Doody are SAT joined this week by the environmental journalist George SAT Monbiot and author of 'An Optimist's Tour of the Future', SAT Mark Stevenson. SAT SAT Together, they ask "What does the future hold?" SAT SAT This deconstructed "quiz" has only one question each week, SAT because that question is so big, there's no time for SAT anything else. Expect a mix of stand-up and sketch combined SAT with investigative satire and incisive interviews, with a SAT diverse range of characters who really know what they're SAT talking about. Rory's mantra is that it's as important to SAT make sense out of things as it is to make fun of them - only SAT then will people laugh at the truth.

SAT SAT 14:30 Saturday Drama b03bd248 (Listen) SAT Rumours SAT by Colin Shindler SAT SAT The story of how Private Eye made a name for itself by SAT taking on the social and political establishment of Great SAT Britain, culminating in the resignation of Prime Minister SAT Harold Macmillan. SAT SAT Director Marc Beeby SAT SAT BACKGROUND SAT SAT The Profumo Affair was the catalyst for a revolution in the SAT mood and character of British life. Aspects of that scandal SAT appear here, but this play is not about Profumo or Christine SAT Keeler or any of the well-known actors in that SAT well-rehearsed drama. It is, rather, about events behind the SAT scenes, about the wider rumours and scandals the affair SAT forced into the light and, finally, the seismic cultural SAT shift it helped unleash. SAT Stirred up by the resentments over Suez, by CND, the Angry SAT Young Men and even the frenzy of 1963's Beatlemania, the SAT three young men who ran Private Eye helped to lift up the SAT stone of the British establishment and, to the horrified but SAT fascinated gaze of the nation, to reveal the frantic creepy SAT crawlies that had lain there undetected for years. With SAT Profumo's demise, the swelling tide of scorn and resentment SAT for age, tradition and authority, the poisonous fantasy of SAT limitless corruption into which it had ripened, was finally SAT let loose in all its fury. SAT Profumo and the scandals that followed "made" Private Eye. SAT As a consequence, the magazine helped to end the Britain SAT that had fought two world wars in defence of Empire and a SAT class-based society. At the end of 1962 we were still the SAT country that fought those wars and was "granting" SAT independence to the indigenous peoples of its colonies. At SAT the start of 1964 we were another country and the coming man SAT was not Baille Vass, an Old Etonian who sat on the MCC SAT committee, but a dour pipe-smoking Yorkshireman, a SAT technocrat and a meritocrat, who supported Huddersfield Town SAT and liked HP Sauce with his dinner. Private Eye would not SAT care for "Wislon" either - but that is Private Eye all over.

SAT SAT 22:15 Unreliable Evidence b03b2md6 (Listen) SAT Whistleblowers SAT SAT Clive Anderson's guests call for new laws both to encourage SAT employees to report criminal behaviour and malpractice in SAT their organisations and to protect them if they blow the SAT whistle. SAT SAT The programme brings together leading lawyers to discuss the SAT developing law relating to whistle-blowing and to consider SAT concerns that the law does not adequately protect employees SAT from unfair dismissal, bullying or blacklisting. SAT SAT In the wake of the Libor scandal and disturbing revelations SAT about NHS care, does the law offer sufficient safeguards to SAT employees who report a criminal offence, miscarriage of SAT justice, danger to someone's health and safety or damage to SAT the environment? SAT SAT Cathy James, chief executive of the whistle-blower charity, SAT Public Concern at Work, reveals that three out of four SAT people interviewed say nothing ever happens when they SAT complain about bad practices within the workplace. The SAT programme hears that, despite legislation designed to SAT prevent victimisation of whistle-blowers, most people are SAT still scared to raise their head above the parapet. SAT SAT Robert Francis QC, who chaired the public inquiry into the SAT Mid Staffs NHS Foundation Trust, calls for new laws to make SAT victimisation by colleagues a criminal offence and for SAT attempts to obstruct whistle-blowing to be made illegal SAT also. SAT SAT But barrister Caspar Glyn QC is concerned that, all too SAT often, disgruntled, under-achieving employees use SAT whistle-blowing legislation as a sword - threatening to SAT report workplace malpractice unless they receive enhanced SAT severance payments. He says employers need protection as SAT well as employees. SAT SAT Producer: Brian King SAT An Above the Title production for BBC Radio 4.

SUN SUN Rationalism often seems to exclude religious thought but, in SUN conversation with Mark, neuroscientist Baroness Susan SUN Greenfield suggests that, far from being mutually exclusive, SUN we should look to them both in order to make sense of our SUN existence. And when it comes to advances in science, Mark SUN asks if there are limits we should be prepared to put on our SUN powers of inventiveness, and on our faith in reason to solve SUN our problems. SUN SUN On the one hand William Wordsworth implores us to "close up SUN these barren leaves" of science and simply wonder at nature SUN instead while, on the other, Charles Dickens' Mr Gradgrind SUN demands that "by means of addition subtraction SUN multiplication and division settle everything somehow, and SUN Never Wonder!".

SUN SUN First published at just twenty four her debut novel "White SUN Teeth" garnered huge attention and praise.

Born to a SUN Jamaican mother and a British father she was brought up in SUN Willesden, North London where many of her characters live. SUN She began writing at the age of 5 and was a voracious reader SUN - devouring the greats of literature. Now she divides her SUN time between Willesden and New York where she teaches SUN creative writing. SUN SUN She describes herself as "an English novelist enslaved to an SUN ancient tradition" and yet her chosen areas of exploration SUN could not be more of the moment. SUN SUN She says, "I'm really interested in what memory feels like SUN ... we only have snapshots of the past ..." she continues to SUN declare that writing isn't about "being experimental, it's SUN about finding something true."

SUN SUN In 1964 Myrtle Allen, a mother and farmers' wife turned her SUN home in Cork into a restaurant like no other. Ingredients SUN were grown on the family farm, foraged locally or sourced by SUN producers nearby.

In 1968 Myrtle was joined by a young SUN ambitious cook from Dublin, Darina O'Connell. She married SUN into the family and became the now much celebrated Darina SUN Allen, cook, writer and television presenter.

SUN SUN One Man Bands have a surprisingly long history, documented SUN in pictures and writings from France and Spain as far back SUN as the middle ages. Entertaining and enterprising men, they SUN started with a flute and a drum and, over the centuries, SUN have literally added whistles and bells - as well as SUN cymbals, harmonica, accordion, trumpet, and the list goes SUN on. SUN SUN Contemporary one man band legends include North Carolina's SUN Jim Garner, Georgia's Jesse Fuller and West Virginia's Hasil SUN Adkins who have all influenced current players such as SUN Bloodshot Bill and Washboard Hank - who Tom tracks down. SUN SUN Charmed by their inventiveness and talent, Tom visits the SUN one man band festival, an annual event in Montreal where the SUN world's most musical solitary figures perform. He finds some SUN eccentric characters with rich stories following traditions SUN that stretch way back into British and American folk and SUN blues music. Meeting performers such as Bob Log III, Dana SUN Schecter (also known as Insect Ark) and Spain's SUN 'Hyperpotamus', Tom learns what it takes to become a one man SUN band.

SUN SUN In Edwardian London, three carefree young men and their dog, SUN Montmorency, plan a rowing holiday down the Thames to SUN Oxford. But nothing goes smoothly. SUN SUN Episode 2: SUN Harris, unable to recollect words or tune, attempts a comic SUN song - to the dismay of J, George and other revellers. J SUN buys a round for the whole pub to compensate. After a meal SUN of cold beef but no mustard, they cheer up at the prospect SUN of pineapple - but they've forgotten the tin opener. And SUN nothing - not the penknife, the scissors, the hitcher, a SUN sharp stone or the mast - can break into that tin. Their SUN last night on the river involves another sing-song at SUN another pub of course, but not before Harris and Montmorency SUN survive a serious encounter with swans. SUN SUN Three Men In A Boat has never been out of print since its SUN first publication in 1889. In stark contrast to the SUN adventure writers of the time - Kipling, Haggard and SUN Stevenson - Jerome K Jerome gave us a story about three SUN ordinary fellows having a jolly time down the river.

SUN SUN What happens when an author joins forces with a Quantum SUN physicist? SUN Sara Maitland has teamed up with a selection of leading SUN scientists to turn their cutting edge research into a SUN collection of short stories. One of her stories The SUN Beautiful Equation is based on the work of Tara Shears, SUN Professor of Physics at the University of Liverpool and one SUN the quantum physicists carrying out research into antimatter SUN at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Tara and Sara discuss SUN how the collaboration worked and how science has become SUN literature. SUN SUN Since its launch in 1969, The Man Booker Prize has been SUN regarded as one of the most important literary awards in the SUN world. It currently accepts submissions from published SUN authors writing in English from Britain, Ireland, the SUN Commonwealth and Zimbabwe, but following an announcement SUN this week, from next year it is, "abandoning the constraints SUN of geography and national boundaries" and expanding the SUN eligibility for entry to include novels originally written SUN in English and published in the UK, regardless of the SUN nationality of the author.

SUN SUN Will the Rana Plaza factory tragedy mean Bangladeshi garment SUN workers no longer have to work in death traps? It's five SUN months on from the collapse of the 8 storey building in SUN Dhaka, in which more than a thousand workers died, and SUN several thousand lost arms or legs or were paralysed. Jane SUN Deith reports from Dhaka on what's happened since. Just how SUN much medical and financial help have survivors and families SUN of the dead received? SUN SUN Campaigners said the disaster should be a "game changer" in SUN forcing international brands who source cheap clothes in SUN Bangladesh to take more responsibility for conditions within SUN the factories they use. Safety inspections of hundreds of SUN premises are due to begin in earnest. But the Western SUN manufacturers are split on who should pay for expensive SUN improvements - the clothing brands or the factory owners? SUN It's estimated that it could cost $3bn to bring all the SUN factories up to scratch. SUN SUN But there are those who argue that Western shoppers who buy SUN the cheap clothes, and the brands that sell them, don't SUN deserve all the blame. The Bangladeshi government continues SUN to limit the power of trade unions and is accused of failing SUN to act against powerful manufacturing bosses when people die SUN in their factories. SUN SUN The safety campaigners agree that Western brands pulling out SUN of Bangladesh would be the worst result for the country's SUN four million garment workers and the families who rely on SUN their earnings. SUN SUN So is it possible to keep them in work and keep them safe? SUN SUN Producer: Sally Chesworth.

SUN SUN 19:15 Paul Sinha's Citizenship Test b038zf13 (Listen) SUN Episode 4 SUN SUN Paul Sinha is proudly British. He also loves a quiz. So you SUN would have thought that the UK Citizenship Test, which SUN newcomers to this country must pass to become citizens, SUN would have been right up his street. But the questions in SUN the 2012 and 2013 Home Office guides seem either bizarrely SUN easy - "Where is Welsh most widely spoken?" - or SUN infuriatingly vague - "What happened in the First World SUN War?". SUN SUN So Paul has created his own test, to better reflect the SUN things that aspiring migrants should understand before they SUN can call themselves British. In this final episode of the SUN four-part series, he looks who and what Britons consider to SUN be "great", and social cohesion - from what you need to know SUN about weddings and marriage to the 2011 summer riots. SUN SUN The series intertwines the sort of comedy Paul has become SUN known for on The Now Show, The News Quiz, and Fighting Talk, SUN as well as his own Radio 4 shows The Sinha Test and The SUN Sinha Games, and the command of facts and figures he SUN demonstrates on the ITV quiz show The Chase, with a dash of SUN the patriotism that has seen him banned from the bar at the SUN United Nations. SUN SUN Written and performed by Paul Sinha. SUN Producer: Ed Morrish.

MON MON Frank is a doer and a trier, a wonderfully complex, MON gregarious, self-confounding, honest and loving man, always MON aware of his shortcomings and keen to better himself MON intellectually and materially. Takes Two to Tandem is a rich MON glimpse into how aspirational, impoverished and socially MON mobile the interwar years were. MON MON Frank: ' It seems to me that the best thing to do is to be MON aware of the angle that the world is, for each one of us, a MON personal world.

MON MON In this programme Tom gathers the memories of the few MON remaining British people who visited Tibet before the MON arrival of the Chinese in 1950, including Dick Gould, son of MON Sir Basil Gould who served in Tibet and Col Alan Jenkins who MON travelled there in 1947. MON MON While the recollections of the Himalayan vistas and rugged MON high-altitude plains of the so-called 'roof of the world' MON are dramatic, it's the details about the food, the basic MON transport systems, the juxtaposition of poverty and ceremony MON and the friendships made with Tibetans themselves which MON makes this so much more than the Hollywood version of the MON mystic land featured in films like 'Seven years in Tibet'.

We suspect that our MON dreams are meaningless, and yet we can't resist the urge to MON interpret the most vivid, transporting or troubling of them. MON The way dreams have been understood tells us a great deal, MON both about long dead dreamers, and the worlds in which they MON lived. MON MON Over the course of this week, Lucy Powell explores the MON history of dreams and what we think they mean, a hundred MON years after Sigmund Freud's great work 'The Interpretation MON of Dreams' appeared in English. MON MON She'll be exploring medieval mystics, renaissance dreamers, MON Romantic nightmares and the latest findings in neuroscience, MON but today she returns to the gods and ghosts of the ancient MON Greeks. MON MON Freud described psychoanalysis as a kind of archaeology of MON the mind, a search for buried pieces of the past that the MON analyst must carefully retrieve, pull up to the light, and MON unlock to reveal their hidden meanings. And on Freud's desk, MON in his north London study, are real archaeological MON treasures: figures from ancient Greece, Rome, and MON Mesopotamia, part of the collection of over 2000 antiquities MON he collected during his lifetime - statues and frescos and MON strange, goggle-eyed gargoyles. He called them his 'old and MON grubby gods' who aided him in his work. They make of Freud's MON study a strange kind of dream-scape, filled with fragments MON of the past. Because in seeking to forge a new theory of MON dreams, Freud reached right back to the earliest dreams in MON Western history. MON MON Producer: Jane Greenwood.

Ian McMillan looks at MON the clubs of Doncaster to learn more about a movement that MON has provided social interaction, education, recreation and MON support to working class communities for over a hundred MON years. MON Doncaster is home to around 80 members' clubs, including MON Armthorpe Social Club and Institute, Rossington Miners' MON Welfare, Mexborough Concertina Club and The Trades Club. MON Some are thriving, some just about surviving. Around 60 of MON the town's former clubs are no longer in business. MON MON Doncaster is also home to brothers Dave and Keith Angel, MON local musicians who, having been brought up steeped in club MON culture, started out their own musical careers in these MON unforgiving yet grounding venues. Their lifelong affection MON for Working Men's Clubs has resulted in Dave and Keith MON completing a social history of clubs in the area, which was MON originally started by their Dad in the 1970s. MON MON With their help, Ian is on a mission to find out more about MON the origins of these clubs, how they have adapted and MON changed over the years, the reasons for the decline and MON what, if anything, is being done to keep the existing clubs MON alive. MON MON In addition to anecdotes from Keith and Dave Angel, the MON programme also features contributions from Ruth Cherrington, MON writer of Not Just Beer and Bingo!: A Social History of MON Working Men's Clubs, singer Lyn O'Hara, club officials and MON the working men (and sometimes women) who patronised the tap MON rooms and concert halls.

MON MON 16:30 Beyond Belief b03bddd4 (Listen) MON Why Religions Change MON MON What causes religions to change beliefs or traditions which MON have been in place for hundreds of years?

The Catholic Church condemned Galileo for MON teaching that the sun, rather than the earth, is the centre MON of our universe. Soon we may have female Bishops in the MON Church of England and some churches in the UK may be MON prepared to marry gay couples. Is it inevitable that MON religions which emerged two or three millennia ago will MON adapt and shift with ever increasing social, cultural and MON scientific change? How do you distinguish between eternal MON truth and the culturally conditioned? MON MON Joining Ernie Rea to discuss the way in which religions MON change are Dr Linda Woodhead, Professor in the Sociology of MON Religion in the Department of Politics, Philosophy and MON Religion at Lancaster University; Dr Yaakov Wise, Lecturer MON at the Centre for Jewish and Middle Eastern Studies at the MON University of Manchester; and Dr Gavin Flood, Professor of MON Hindu Studies and Comparative Religion at the University of MON Oxford.

MON MON 21:00 Shared Planet b03b0wms (Listen) MON Wildlife Aliens and Diseases MON MON Does the increase in human population mean more diseases for MON domestic and wild animals and plants? As trade between MON different countries and continents increases we move more MON animals and plants around the world. With them go diseases MON that can be devastating for local wildlife. Ash die-back and MON the Varroa mite on bees are two recent examples that are MON causing real concern. Monty Don explores how our need for MON worldwide trade is carrying pests and diseases to places MON where there is no resistance. MON MON The Varroa mite is an Asian species that has lived on the MON Asian variety of honey bee (Apis cerana) without causing too MON much damage to a colony. Where it has evolved it breeds only MON on male bees and, as they are not as numerous as females in MON a colony, it has little effect on the hive. Man moved MON colonies of the European honey bee (Apis mellifera) to Asia, MON and at some point in the last century the mite 'jumped MON species' onto the European honey bee. In European hives the MON mites can breed in the cells of worker bees. This alters the MON population dynamics of the mites and they multiply out of MON control so that - without human intervention - the colony MON will die. Varroa has now spread across the globe, reaching MON the UK in 1992. There are now very few wild colonies of MON honey bees left in the UK - they have been largely wiped out MON by the introduced Varroa mite and the viruses it transmits. MON MON What can be done? Do we have a plan to stop this happening MON again and can we forsee what the next crisis will be?

MON MON 23:00 The Night Singer b03bdgy1 (Listen) MON For thousands of years the nightingale has been the most MON celebrated song-bird in the western world. Over the MON centuries, its remarkable voice has captured the hearts and MON minds of poets, writers and musicians - and its MON extraordinary song has symbolised the renewing powers of MON nature and human love in all its forms. MON MON Yet the real nightingale is a brown little migrant who only MON stays a few weeks in Britain before heading back to Africa. MON Despite this, we constantly fall under its spell. MON MON Earlier this year, Director, author, performer and bird MON enthusiast Neil Bartlett went to the RSPB site at Pulborough MON Brooks in Sussex, to seek out this tiny bird. We journey MON with him as he discovers what it is about the nightingale MON that captures our hearts. MON MON He discovers how the nightingale manipulates his syrinx MON (like our voicebox) to such an extraordinary degree that MON every single bird has its own personal repertoire of up to MON 200 different songs. He learns how, in Roman times, the MON nightingale song was believed to contain magical properties MON so its organs were used in love potions and its tiny tongue MON baked in pies to try and make the human voice sound sweeter, MON and he hears how musicians have tried to communicate with MON this little bird incorporating it into their music. MON MON In the 1920s for example, the most distinguished cellist in MON Britain, Beatrice Harrison played alongside a nightingale in MON her garden and when this duet was broadcast, millions of MON people tuned in to hear it. The broadcast became so popular MON that it became an annual event for years. MON MON Presenter: Neil Bartlett MON Producer: Angela Hind MON A Pier production for BBC Radio 4. MON MON 23:30 Sleepless Night b01qhqg3 (Listen) MON What keeps you awake at night? Money worries? Your MON conscience? Traffic? Dogs barking? Or the shrill sound of a MON stressed robin forced to sing at night to find a mate? MON MON This composed feature by Nina Perry explores the problem of MON sleeplessness and the crucial relationship between sound and MON sleep, all set within a soundscape of noises heard during a MON sleepless night interwoven with specially composed music. MON MON Tinnitus sufferer Helen takes us on a journey through a MON sleepless night of thought and sounds of ticking clocks, MON snoring, a restless child, mysterious footsteps and a MON neighbour's late night party. How are these sounds perceived MON in a state of sleeplessness? How do we respond to sound MON emotionally, physiologically and hormonally. Are the sounds MON of the night changing? Are silent nights a thing of the MON past? MON MON Answering these questions and elucidating the relationship MON between sound and sleep are: Professor of Acoustics and MON Dynamics Andy Moorhouse and Senior Lecturer in Acoustics MON Bill Davies, from Salford University; David Baguley, Head of MON Audiology at Cambridge University Hospitals, who discusses MON sound perception, the meaning of sound and the reaction to MON sound as elements within Tinnitus treatment; Dr Ken Hume, a MON sleep researcher specializing in sound and sleep, discussing MON the physiology and psychology of sleep and sound MON disturbance; and Rupert Marshall, Lecturer in Animal MON Behaviour at Aberystwyth University, describing how urban MON wildlife is changing its behaviour to cope with modern life MON (for example, robins nesting in urban areas who struggle to MON be heard during the day are more likely to sing at night MON than their country cousins).

TUE TUE 11:30 The Secret Life of JS Bach b03bds3t (Listen) TUE Long before the world of pop beckoned, and when the TUE priesthood was an unimagined future calling, Rev Richard TUE Coles had an unusual teenage passion. By his bed stood the TUE bust of the greatest composer the world has ever known, with TUE an inescapable marmoreal gaze that only the most TUE self-assured genius could produce. This was a man with a TUE gigantic musical brain, an untouchable god, a super-human TUE with a daily life and preoccupations we can't begin to TUE imagine. Bach that is, for avoidance of any doubt. TUE TUE Or was he? For Radio 4, Coles sets out to meet another Bach, TUE the hot young talent whose daily life as a church organist TUE was punctuated as much by petty quarrels and hard graft as TUE it was the call of the Romantic muse. He clambers inside the TUE technological marvel which is an 18th-century German organ TUE and discovers that the principles of physics, architecture, TUE metallurgy and acoustics were every bit as prominent in TUE Bach's armoury as his musicianship. And he hunts for clues TUE as to why the young Bach might have been the prickly TUE hot-head he appears to have been, including the intriguing TUE theory that a disrupted childhood and chaotic education may TUE have left him with a personality we might now consider to be TUE characterised by clinical paranoia. TUE TUE But what if we were to meet Bach in the flesh? Now Richard TUE gets the chance to do exactly that. Well almost, thanks to TUE the pioneering work of scientists in Dundee who have TUE recreated the composer's image in 3D using the very latest TUE forensic techniques. Is this meeting a realisation of TUE lifelong fantasies, or is the Bach we uncover the very last TUE person Richard would like to appoint as parish organist? TUE TUE With contributions from organists John Butt, Jon Cullen and TUE Tim Rishton, psychologist Tamar Pincus, musicologist Ruth TUE Tatlow, and forensic scientist Caroline Wilkinson.

TUE Jenny Chryss examines the role of the Investigatory Powers TUE Tribunal - the little known body that considers complaints TUE from those who've been under surveillance by the state. TUE Critics talk of an "Orwellian system" in which cases are TUE shrouded in too much secrecy.

WED WED 13:45 Our Dreams: Our Selves b03bdw8k (Listen) WED Renaissance Dreamers: Witches, Demons and the Troubles of WED Eros WED WED Over the course of this week, Lucy Powell explores the WED history of dreams and what we think they mean, a hundred WED years after Sigmund Freud's great work 'The Interpretation WED of Dreams' appeared in English. She traces the shadowy, WED circuitous and often surprising history of dreams, from the WED oldest works of Western literature to the very forefront of WED neuroscience, and finds out where dreams have taken us in WED the past, and where they might transport us next. WED WED In this programme, she explores the dreams of the WED Renaissance. WED WED Nowhere do we feel as safe and shielded from the world as in WED our beds. They are witness to the most significant events of WED our lives, from birth to death. And our beds are also the WED theatres in which the nightly drama of our dreams plays out. WED But for the people of the Renaissance, the bed and the WED dreams that arrived in them were also sites of very real WED danger. WED WED Lucy eavesdrops on Renaissance dreamers including Oliver WED Cromwell's grandmother and Samuel Pepys, to uncover the WED potential dangers of the erotic and the political dream. And WED she visits the great house of Knole in Kent to find out how WED Shakespeare used the dream to disguise dangerous statements WED about power and politics in Renaissance England.

Clive Anderson and guests discuss concerns WED that Government proposals to limit the use of judicial WED review could result in unlawful decisions by government and WED other public bodies going unchecked. WED WED The number of applications for judicial review have WED increased rapidly in recent years, at great financial cost, WED but very few are ultimately successful. Is judicial review a WED "lawyers' charter" or an essential check on the way WED government and other public bodies exercise power? WED WED A quadrupling of legal fees and tighter restrictions on time WED limits for lodging applications will choke off the "soaring WED number of judicial review" cases brought before the courts, WED according to Justice Secretary, Chris Grayling. He says WED these measures will prevent claims being used as a "cheap WED delaying tactic" in planning and immigration appeals. But WED lawyers have warned that the changes will restrict legal WED challenges to local authority decisions, creating the risk WED that vulnerable teenagers will be deprived of care and safe WED accommodation. WED WED And Labour's justice spokesman, Sadiq Khan, says, "Recent WED history has shown the importance of judicial reviews in WED exposing shoddy and unlawful government decision-making - WED from the disastrous west coast mainline franchising to the WED botched cancelling of Building Schools for the Future". WED WED Senior lawyers, judges and politicians discuss the strengths WED and weakness of judicial review, look at landmark cases, and WED argue about whether such legal challenges undermine good WED government.

WED WED 21:00 Costing the Earth b03bfkcb (Listen) WED Burn That Fat! WED WED Fighting the fat can be a difficult issue - and not just for WED our waistlines. Old cooking oil from our takeaways and roast WED dinners can cause major problems - from polluting WED watercourses to blocking sewers and causing flooding if not WED disposed of carefully. But rising commodity prices and WED surprising new uses have turned it from waste product to WED wonder in some people's eyes. WED WED Tom Heap slides his way to a fat recycling plant where WED everything from large scale tubs of mayonnaise to tiny WED butter sachets and even pork scratchings are seen as a WED golden resource which can be treated and turned into fuels. WED Out of date or overcooked foods can still find a purpose - WED even 'frier sludges' are valued here. WED WED So how far would Tom go in pursuit of useful waste fat? A WED trip beneath the streets of London to the sewers sees him in WED search of 'fatbergs' - created by the build up of grease WED thrown down our sinks. Some as large as double-decker buses WED have been found which have to be blasted out to ensure they WED don't block the system and cause sewage to flood people's WED homes. Now instead of being sent to landfill they're being WED put to good use - despite being once of the most degraded WED fats on the spectrum. WED WED Meanwhile the University of Wolverhampton has been using oil WED from the local chippy and canteen for its lab experiments. WED They've been able to make a bioplastic - something so pure WED from something so dirty - that it will be used inside the WED human body to aid healing.

THU THU 11:30 The Art of Radio Times b03bfsyw (Listen) THU As Radio Times turns 90 this week, Peter Day tells the story THU of the outstanding British graphic artists who made the THU magazine their canvas. THU THU The idea that a broadcasting listings magazine should THU provide the opportunity for writers and artists to produce THU some of their finest creative work seems perhaps a little THU far-fetched in the present era of TV Quick, What's On TV and THU TV Choice. Yet Radio Times, which first appeared on the THU bookstands on 28th September 1923, was a great nurturer of THU artistic talent. It started with cartoons - the early THU magazine loved a gentle 'Punch'-like joke - but soon Radio THU Times evolved its own individual graphic idiom, using line THU drawings and motifs, alongside more conventional THU photographs, to illustrate the imaginative world of radio, THU in particular. In the magazine's heyday, an elegant Eric THU Fraser cover would regularly grace the bumper-selling THU Christmas edition, and 1953's Coronation Number became a THU collector's item with Fraser's simple and noble heraldic THU theme. THU THU Alongside Eric Fraser, amongst the great British artists to THU create some of their most distinguished work for Radio Times THU were Edward Ardizzone, Val Biro and Victor Reinganum; Bob THU Sherriffs contributed thumbnail caricatures in the early THU years and fifty years later Peter Brookes, before becoming a THU fixture on The Times was a regular contributor. THU THU In this programme, Peter Day explores the graphic heritage THU that Radio Times fostered with those who drew and those who THU commissioned for it. THU THU Producer: Simon Elmes.

She traces the shadowy, THU circuitous and often surprising history of dreams, from the THU oldest works of western literature to the very forefront of THU neuroscience, and finds out where dreams have taken us in THU the past, and where they might transport us next. THU THU In this programme, she explores the dreams of the eighteenth THU and nineteenth centuries. In this new, Enlightened era, the THU age-old notion that dreams might be divine emissaries or the THU dark nocturnal work of devilish spirits, would no longer THU hold cultural currency. All the demons that our dreams THU revealed would be our own. And yet, the Enlightenment also THU precipitated a scientific revolution that would see THU extremely powerful, psychomorphic drugs being routinely THU prescribed for a whole host of ailments. Crucially for THU dreamers, one of these was opium, which bore very THU particular, poetic fruits. From Coleridge's Kubla Khan to THU the nightmares of de Quincey and the dream which led to THU Frankenstein, dreams in this era proved to be both THU creatively inspiring and personally terrifying.

The plan for THU Universal Credit was developed in Opposition by Iain Duncan THU Smith, now Secretary of State. THU THU It was envisioned that there would be a pilot in April 2013, THU rolled out to all new claimants for out-of-work support by THU October 2013. By 2017 all those in receipt of benefits THU should be claiming Universal Credit. THU THU However, it was announced earlier this year that the pilot THU would be much reduced, and it will not be rolled out THU nationally this October. Earlier this month the National THU Audit Office produced a damning report, saying the project THU had been beset with problems. THU THU But was the plan too ambitious in the first place? Or could THU better management have delivered the project to the THU timescales originally set out?

FRI FRI 13:45 Our Dreams: Our Selves b03bg4vr (Listen) FRI Science and Psychoanalysis: the Recurring Dream of Sigmund FRI Freud FRI FRI Lucy Powell explores the history of dreams and what we think FRI they mean, a hundred years after Sigmund Freud's great work FRI 'The Interpretation of Dreams' appeared in English. She FRI traces the shadowy, circuitous and often surprising history FRI of dreams, from the oldest works of western literature to FRI the very forefront of neuroscience, and finds out where FRI dreams have taken us in the past, and where they might FRI transport us next. FRI FRI It's hard to imagine now just how radical 'The FRI Interpretation of Dreams' was a century ago. For his FRI contemporaries, dreams were just froth - 'trauma sind FRI schaume'. But Freud accorded them meaning. The men and women FRI who once lay on his couch came to Freud with disturbing FRI symptoms that mainstream medical science couldn't cure. He FRI decided to look, not at their bodies for the source of their FRI malaise, but at their minds. In particular, he delved into FRI the darkest reaches of their dreams. Freud's extraordinary FRI claim was that dreams are 'the royal road to the FRI unconscious'. FRI FRI Lucy explores Freud's greatest work, and talks to Mark FRI Solms, a neuroscientist at the cutting edge of research into FRI dreams. She asks if Freud was right.
