Over the last SAT few years, farming has become increasingly professionalised SAT and next week, the agriculture and horticulture development SAT board is set to launch a new scheme to encourage farmers to SAT recognise the value of on-the-job training. SAT SAT Back on the dairy farm, Charlotte meets farm manager David SAT Cotton, the chair of the dairy industry's dairy pro scheme. SAT The scheme allows farmers to collect points in recognition SAT for attending training courses, meetings and discussion SAT events. SAT SAT It's not only the dairy industry that have their own SAT schemes, we hear from pig farmers and members of the basis SAT scheme, which provides current training for anyone dealing SAT with agricultural chemicals. SAT SAT Professional training is also having an impact on the way in SAT which farmers manage their farm. Professional leadership SAT courses can help to grow a farm business, whilst the SAT Nuffield agricultural scholarship scheme gives farmers SAT funding to learn new ideas from around the world.

SAT SAT 11:30 From Our Own Correspondent b03g89c0 (Listen) SAT Cities on Edge SAT SAT Correspondents' stories: Jeremy Bowen on the effect in Egypt SAT of the upcoming trials of senior figures from the Muslim SAT Brotherhood; you could write the history of the South SAT Pacific as a succession of arrivals of powerful, foreign SAT vessels in palm-fringed lagoons, according to John Pickford SAT in Tonga; the Sudanese capital Khartoum 'changed forever' SAT after the recent riots in the capital - that is what James SAT Copnall has been hearing in Khartoum; Linda Pressly has been SAT to the Spanish city of Melilla, on the north coast of SAT Morocco, to meet the so-called 'mule women' and find out why SAT they are prepared to shoulder such heavy loads; and Russians SAT have never been famous for their smiles, but Jamie SAT Coomarasamy is wondering if times have changed and they are SAT now no longer trying to keep a straight face! SAT SAT The programme is produced by Tony Grant. SAT SAT 12:00 Money Box b03g89c2 (Listen) SAT Saving with multiple accounts; Pension charges; Debts of the SAT dead SAT SAT On Money Box with Paul Lewis: SAT SAT If you want the best rates on your savings stick them in a SAT current account. You can get up to 5% on the balance, though SAT the amount it is paid on is limited. But as one listener SAT found, you can open more than one. And set up a carousel of SAT standing order payments to fulfil the 'you must pay in £1000 SAT a month' rule. We find the best deals. SAT SAT The Government wants to cap the charges that can be made on SAT auto-enrolment pensions. Over the next four years every SAT employer, however small, will have to offer a pension for SAT their workers and almost everyone will be automatically SAT enrolled into it. Charges can eat away half the amount paid SAT into your pension over a working lifetime. So the government SAT wants to make sure they are not too high. But is it going SAT far enough? Or too far? The Minister answers his critics. SAT SAT "It's only when the world tips sideways that unknown and SAT Shocking processes are revealed." Julia wrote that to us. SAT Her sideways tip came when her daughter Hannah took her own SAT life this summer. But Julia was still being pestered by SAT letters trying to recover Hannah's small debts even though SAT she has told the companies of her death and that she left no SAT money. Who does have to pay the debts of the dead? And how SAT should collection agencies treat the living? SAT SAT Divorced and separated women are being penalised by mortgage SAT lenders who have different rules about how they treat child SAT support payments. Some don't count them as income at all. SAT Others count half and some insist on court orders. That SAT makes it harder for them to take over a previously joint SAT mortgage or take out a new mortgage of their own. We reveal SAT the best and the worst.

SAT SAT 14:30 Saturday Drama b03g89c6 (Listen) SAT The Right Honourable SAT SAT By Mike Bartlett. Nerys Jones, at 28, is the youngest MP in SAT the House of Commons. In her first week she signs up for an SAT introductory tour of Parliament and is surprised to find her SAT tour guide is a very senior politician. At first he seems to SAT be playing some sort of game and she's not sure what it is, SAT but soon she is drawn into a web of intrigue which tests SAT everything she stands for. SAT SAT Starring Peter Firth and Alexandra Roach (the young Margaret SAT Thatcher in The Iron Lady), this is fresh political SAT storytelling from Mike Bartlett, one of the most SAT thought-provoking playwrights in Britain today. His TV SAT series, The Town (December 2012), was nominated for a SAT Breakthrough Talent BAFTA. His most recent play Bull SAT received excellent reviews earlier this year at the SAT Sheffield Crucible and transferred to New York. His SAT dramatisation of Chariots of Fire directed by Ed Hall at SAT Hampstead had an extended season last year in the West End.

He meets the film's stars and those who have SAT been touched by this classic of modern cinema and its SAT soundtrack. SAT SAT Released in British cinemas in 1973, The Harder They Come is SAT the rite of passage story of Ivan, a young singer trying to SAT break into the music industry. Portrayed by the ever-smiling SAT Jimmy Cliff, the film contains great music and unforgettable SAT scenes of sun-bleached Jamaica. Yet there is a dark heart to SAT the film. Despite his considerable vocal talents, Ivan goes SAT astray and becomes tragically entwined in the criminal SAT underworld. SAT SAT For British cinema-goers it was their first insight into SAT Kingston's seductive ghetto life, with a far-reaching SAT influence on fashion and music. Before Bob Marley, it was SAT The Harder They Come which launched reggae culture onto the SAT world stage. SAT SAT Contributors include Jimmy Cliff, discussing real-life SAT gunman, Ryegin, who terrorised Kingston in 1948 and became SAT the inspiration for the lead role. Chappy St Juste, SAT cameraman on the film recalls shooting some memorable SAT scenes, and Sally Henzell, widow of director Perry Henzell, SAT talks about the film's premiere at Kingston's Carib cinema SAT where 40,000 people tried to get in to the 1500 seater SAT auditorium. Carl Bradshaw, who plays Jose, gives us a tour SAT of the film's locations and author Matthew Parker SAT contextualises Jamaica's history as a violent slave outpost SAT "bathed in blood".

He climbs mountains. Oh, and he is a SAT billionaire, one of the country's richest men, who has SAT reluctantly been making the headlines. Jim Ratcliffe, who SAT recently threatened to close the huge Grangemouth SAT petrochemical plant in Scotland - which he owns through his SAT company Ineos - is often described as 'reclusive'. Certainly SAT he doesn't seek publicity. In Profile this week, Jo Fidgen SAT talks to those who know him best, to find out what makes Jim SAT Ratcliffe tick. SAT SAT 19:15 Saturday Review b03g89cj (Listen) SAT The Scottsboro Boys; Arcade Fire; Russell Banks' short SAT stories SAT SAT The new musical from Broadway composers John Kander and Fred SAT Ebb tells the story of a group of 9 young African Americans SAT who- in 1931 - were imprisoned on trumped-up rape charges. SAT They've previously created singing Nazis (Cabaret), loveable SAT mobsters (Chicago) and created the ultimate love song to a SAT city (New York, New York). Have they turned a historical SAT miscarriage of justice into a hit musical? SAT SAT Philomena is a film starring Judi Dench as the mother of an SAT illegitimate child born in 1950s Ireland and then put up for SAT adoption without her knowledge. Steve Coogan is the SAT investigative journalist who - 50 years later - helps her in SAT her attempt to track him down. It's based on a real life SAT story, but does a potentially sentimental story make a SAT sentimental film? SAT SAT Arcade Fire is a Grammy winning Montreal band whose 4 albums SAT in 9 years have been gaining more and more critical and SAT popular acclaim. Their latest Reflektor, features a brief SAT contribution from one of their most famous fans, David SAT Bowie, alongside tribal drumming and sounds for "people SAT who've never even heard The Beatles". Is this album a SAT triumph of hype over substance, or further development in SAT the evolution of one of indie rock's great hopes? SAT SAT Before American author Russell Banks began his writing SAT career he worked as a plumber, and his work always retains a SAT grounding in the real world. Many of the works in his latest SAT collection of short stories are set around his real life in SAT New York and Florida. Do they enhance his reputation and SAT resonate with his heart and soul? SAT SAT Channel 4's new documentary series about patients at the SAT London's Maudsley Hospital has a controversial title; SAT Bedlam. 1 in 4 of us suffers from a mental health problem, SAT and for the first time TV cameras have been allowed SAT unprecedented access to wards and patients at The Maudsley, SAT but how can it avoid being voyeuristic or making the SAT situation even worse? SAT SAT Tom Sutcliffe is joined by dramatist Mark Ravenhill, critic SAT and writer Paul Morley and writer Maev Kennedy. SAT SAT Producer: Oliver Jones. SAT SAT 20:00 Archive on 4 b03g89cl (Listen) SAT Gloria and Me SAT SAT Growing up in Belfast, the writer Glenn Patterson assumed SAT that everything that moved him musically came from afar. To SAT begin with, it was England and Glam Rock, but gradually SAT strange sounds began to infiltrate from even further afield. SAT A school friend introduced him to Patti Smith. Patti Smith SAT introduced him to 'Gloria'. It was a convoluted route by SAT which the song finally reached him - only a couple of miles SAT from where it was written. SAT SAT At a gig in the USA in 1988, Bruce Springsteen shouted "lets SAT take it back to where it all started" as he launched into a SAT version of Gloria. It's a song that's been covered by SAT everyone from Simple Minds to Ricky Lee Jones to The Doors. SAT SAT Glenn talks to Mickey Bradley, bass player with the SAT Undertones, who remembers Gloria being one of the first SAT songs the band learned to play. The simple three chord SAT structure makes it deceptively straightforward - although SAT Glenn's attempt to learn it might disprove that theory - but SAT the song has always held a strange magic for him. Even now, SAT he says, he would fight his corner to say it's one of the SAT best songs Van Morrison has ever written. SAT SAT Mickey and his fellow Undertones were learning to play SAT Gloria while listening to Nuggets, an album of garage rock SAT highlights put together by Patti Smith's guitarist, Lenny SAT Kaye. His relationship with Gloria starts with the Patti SAT Smith band and both he and Patti talk about why they picked SAT this song to re-work. SAT SAT And Glenn unearths a rare recording of the famously taciturn SAT Van Morrison discussing the song, with a young Rolling Stone SAT journalist, Cameron Crowe. SAT SAT Produced by Rachel Hooper SAT A Falling Tree production for BBC Radio Four. SAT SAT 21:00 Classic Serial b03f87yp (Listen) SAT Sword of Honour, Unconditional Surrender SAT SAT by Evelyn Waugh SAT Dramatised by Jeremy Front SAT Evelyn Waugh's satirical WW2 masterpiece: Guy is beginning SAT to lose his idealism about the War. SAT SAT Directed by Sally Avens SAT SAT Waugh's trilogy of WWII novels mark a high point in his SAT literary career. Originally published as three volumes: SAT Officers and Gentlemen, Men at Arms and Unconditional SAT Surrender they were extensively revised by Waugh, and SAT published as the one-volume Sword of Honour in 1965, in the SAT form in which Waugh himself wished them to be read. They are SAT dramatised for the Classic Serial in seven episodes. SAT This is a story that continues to delight as we follow the SAT comic and often bathetic adventures of Guy Crouchback. Witty SAT and tragic, engaging and insightful, this work must be SAT counted next to 'Brideshead Revisited' as Waugh's most SAT enduring novel. Like Brideshead, Waugh drew heavily upon his SAT own experiences during WWII. Sword of Honour effortlessly SAT treads the line between the personal and the political - it SAT is at once an indictment of the incompetence of the Allied SAT war effort, and a moving study of one man's journey from SAT isolation to self fulfilment. His adventures are peopled by SAT colourful characters: the eccentric, Apthorpe, one-eyed, SAT Ritchie-Hook, promiscuous, Virginia Troy. At the centre of SAT the novel is Guy for whom we never lose our sympathy as he SAT emerges from his adventures bowed but not broken. From Dakar SAT to Egypt, the Isle of Mugg to the evacuation of Crete, SAT tragedy is leavened by Waugh's acerbic and farcical comedy.

SAT SAT 22:15 The Reith Lectures b03f9bg7 (Listen) SAT Grayson Perry: Playing to the Gallery: 2013, Nice Rebellion, SAT Welcome In! SAT SAT In the third of four lectures, recorded in front of an SAT audience at The Guildhall in Londonderry, the artist Grayson SAT Perry asks if revolution is a defining idea in art, or has SAT it met its end? SAT SAT Perry says the world of art seems to be strongly associated SAT with novelty. He argues that the mainstream media seems SAT particularly drawn to the idea of there being an SAT avant-garde: work is always described as being "cutting SAT edge," artists are "radical," shows are "mould-breaking," SAT ideas are "ground-breaking," "game-changing" or SAT "revolutionary," We are forever being told that a new SAT paradigm is being set. SAT SAT Perry says we have reached the final state of art. Not an SAT end game, as there will always be great new art, but that SAT art has lost one of its central tenets: its ability to SAT shock. We have seen it all before. SAT SAT Grayson Perry was awarded the Turner Prize in 2003 and is SAT the first contemporary artist to deliver the Reith Lectures. SAT He is best known for his ceramic works, print making, SAT drawing, sculpture and tapestries as well as being a SAT flamboyant cross-dresser. SAT SAT The Reith Lectures are presented and chaired by Sue Lawley SAT and produced by Jim Frank.

The Scotland team of Michael Alexander and Alan SAT Taylor set out to turn the tables on the Midlands team of SAT Rosalind Miles and Stephen Maddock, who beat them in the SAT opening match of the series. SAT SAT Tom Sutcliffe is in the questionmaster's chair, and, as SAT always, the scores will depend on how much help he has to SAT give the teams in unravelling the quiz's notoriously SAT convoluted questions. SAT SAT There'll be several fiendish question suggestions from Round SAT Britain Quiz listeners, and Tom will also be revealing the SAT solution to the question he left unanswered at the end of SAT last week's edition.

SAT SAT 23:30 Lindisfarne: Poetry in Progress b03f87yt (Listen) SAT In the year that the Lindisfarne Gospel returned to the SAT North-East, twelve poets and a digital sound artist discuss SAT their contemporary responses to the island's priceless book. SAT SAT After four centuries, the Lindisfarne Gospel-book returned, SAT this summer, to the region in which it was made - not as far SAT as the island itself but to Palace Green Library in Durham. SAT SAT The Newcastle Centre for the Literary Arts commissioned SAT twelve poets to respond to the book and to the almost-island SAT on which it was created. SAT SAT Beaty Rubens followed the poets' progress - sharing crab SAT sandwiches and beer on a coach-trip to the island back in SAT the spring and hearing about their progress over the summer SAT and early autumn as they each wrote and recorded their SAT poems. Finally, she heard from the digital artist who SAT created two installations where the poems could be enjoyed SAT by the public. SAT SAT This is the story of their Poetry in Progress.

SUN SUN He begins with a prince forced to marry a frog who, not SUN surprisingly, turns into a beautiful princess before SUN changing once more, this time into a swan which flies off SUN leaving the prince distraught. Of course things work out SUN just fine for the prince in the end, and Mark suggests that SUN one reason we are constantly intrigued by the possibility of SUN transformation is simply that we yearn for a change for the SUN better. SUN SUN Whether personal, religious or political, the attraction and SUN the dangers of transformation are explored through the music SUN of Tchaikovsky, Stravinsky, Mahler and Marley - as well as SUN readings from Alexander Afanasyev, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, SUN Edmund Spenser and Carol Ann Duffy.

Only SUN named as a new species in 1993 and first recorded on British SUN shores in 2001 the ivy bee (Colletes hederae) has been SUN working its way north ever since. SUN SUN A real autumnal species the ivy bee is only active between SUN September and November so its short year begins and ends SUN within the space of a few weeks. As the name suggests its SUN primary food source is the pollen from ivy blossom - the SUN last of the year's flowers. Male ivy bees emerge first in SUN order to be ready for the first females. Unmated females are SUN pounced on my several males all attempting to be the first SUN to mate with her. Unlike honeybees or bumble bees the ivy SUN bee is solitary - the female prepares a nest-hole on her own SUN in which to lay her eggs which she will provision with ivy SUN pollen. Whilst the ivy bee is solitary they tend to dig SUN their nest holes in large aggregations, sometimes in the SUN thousands, in suitable sloping sandy banks. SUN SUN The ivy bee seems to be bucking the trend of general decline SUN in bee populations and spreading northwards as its range SUN expands. Dry Sandford Pits is one of the most northerly of SUN its known locations. Where will it be spotted next? SUN SUN Presented by Chris Sperring SUN Produced by Ellie Sans.

SUN SUN Creativity - how to nurture it, develop it and marshal its SUN power - is his preoccupation. He believes that too many SUN people have no sense of their true talents and passions, and SUN his internationally renowned talks to teachers, business and SUN government leaders argue that - contrary to popular myth - SUN creativity and innovation can be developed in a deliberate SUN and systematic way. What we need, he thinks, is a learning SUN revolution. SUN SUN His own erudition began in a crowded house on Merseyside in SUN the fifties, full of visitors, noise and laughter.

SUN SUN 15:00 Classic Serial b03g8gv7 (Listen) SUN Sword of Honour, Unconditional Surrender SUN SUN by Evelyn Waugh SUN Dramatised by Jeremy Front SUN Evelyn Waugh's satirical WW2 masterpiece: SUN Guy's military career is revived when he is SUN selected for a mission to Italy. He travels to SUN London to await orders. SUN SUN Directed by Tracey Neale SUN SUN Evelyn Waugh's trilogy of WW2 novels mark a high point in SUN his literary career. Originally published as three volumes: SUN Officers and Gentlemen, Men at Arms and Unconditional SUN Surrender they were extensively revised by Waugh, and SUN published as the one-volume Sword of Honour in 1965, in the SUN form in which Waugh himself wished them to be read. They are SUN dramatised for the Classic Serial in seven episodes. SUN SUN This is a story that continues to delight as we follow the SUN comic and often bathetic adventures of Guy Crouchback. Witty SUN and tragic, engaging and insightful, this work must be SUN counted next to 'Brideshead Revisited' as Waugh's most SUN enduring novel. Like Brideshead, Waugh drew heavily upon his SUN own experiences during WW2. Sword of Honour effortlessly SUN treads the line between the personal and the political - it SUN is at once an indictment of the incompetence of the Allied SUN war effort, and a moving study of one man's journey from SUN isolation to self fulfilment.

SUN SUN Matthew Hollis discusses his Costa winning biography of the SUN poet Edward Thomas, Now All Roads Lead to France. SUN SUN The book is an account of the final years of Thomas who died SUN in action in the First World War in 1917. SUN SUN Although an accomplished prose-writer and literary critic, SUN Edward Thomas only began writing poetry in 1914, at the age SUN of 36. Before then, Thomas had been tormented by what he SUN regarded as the banality of his work, by his struggle with SUN depression and by his marriage. SUN SUN Inspired by his life-changing friendship with American poet SUN Robert Frost, Thomas wrote poem after poem, and his SUN emotional affliction began to lift. SUN SUN The two friends began to formulate poetic ideas that would SUN produce some of the most remarkable verse of the twentieth SUN century. But the First World War put an ocean between them: SUN Frost returned to the safety of New England, while Thomas SUN stayed to fight. SUN SUN Hollis is a poet himself and talks about the poetic life as SUN well as the roads taken - and those not taken - that are at SUN the heart of the book.

MON MON Maxine says "I've always wanted to write about aspects of MON the miners strike that I felt had been under explored in MON British drama. How the women mobilized, became the backbone MON of the strike and why they kept on fighting. The 80s was the MON era women from mining communities became emancipated and MON found their voice. I was overwhelmed by their strength and MON courage." MON MON In 1993, nearly 10 years on, Anne Scargill, Dot Kelly, MON Elaine Evans and Lesley Lomas tried to smuggle themselves MON down a Parkside pit, when the remaining 31 pits were MON threatened with closure. Maxine tells the story from their MON point of view. MON MON "I'd had this idea for over eight years and this story was MON the first thing I wanted to write but, aware it was a hard MON sell, I sat on it. After my first radio play about the MON cyclist Beryl Burton, I felt more confident. As with Beryl's MON story, this is about ordinary women doing extraordinary MON things. It's a piece about friendship, camaraderie and MON perhaps surprisingly, much laughter." MON MON Anne Scargill, Dot Kelly, Elaine Evans, Lesley Lomas also MON feature as themselves.

Satie was famously MON eccentric - he replaced traditional musical directions like MON 'ralentando' and 'fortissimo' with instructions to the MON musician such as, 'While watching oneself approach' and MON 'like a nightingale with a toothache' and in order to save MON time deciding what to wear every day, he bought seven, MON identical, yellow, corduroy suits - one for every day of the MON week. MON MON Satie's radical new approach to music was initially MON dismissed by the musical establishment, but he was to prove MON a highly influential force in the new French music of MON Debussy, Ravel and anticipated 20th century minimalism. MON MON As Alistair talks to Satie biographers and musicians, he MON uncovers the story of Satie's one and only love affair, with MON the artist Suzanne Valadon.

MON Passwords have never been weaker and hackers have never been MON more powerful. For most people, passwords are the first and MON only line of defence for confidential information online. MON We've been taught that passwords are the answer - as long as MON they are elaborate enough. MON MON Your password must not follow any predictable pattern. MON Your password must not reference any events you have MON personally witnessed. MON Your password must be a closely guarded personal secret. MON Your password must not be something you would use as a MON password just to get past a password reset check. MON Your password must be impossible to remember. MON MON But, today, that's becoming a fantasy - businesses, banks, MON schools, governments and individuals have all been hacked. MON MON In this social history of the password, Tim Samuels travels MON to Las Vegas for a password conference where he meets the MON man responsible for the most popular cracking software, a MON former US Army interrogator who now builds super computers MON and a passionate Norwegian who believes passwords are here MON to stay.

MON MON 20:30 Analysis b03g9fql (Listen) MON Importing the Metropolitan Revolution MON MON In America, there is talk of a "metropolitan revolution" as MON big cities reinvent themselves. Matthew Taylor asks if MON Britain too can transform its economy by setting city halls MON free. MON MON In America, there's a growing realisation that the old MON economic model, based on every city aiming for "a Starbucks, MON stadia and stealing business," has failed to revive urban MON economies. But now cities such as Denver, Colorado -- once MON famous for the oil money that inspired the soap opera MON Dynasty -- have turned a corner. This "Metropolitan MON Revolution" was led by local mayors who ripped up the old MON administrative boundaries and did creative things to MON diversify the economy and create jobs, such as building a MON vast new airports and offering incentives to hi-tech MON start-ups. MON MON For this week's edition of Analysis, Matthew Taylor, chief MON executive of the RSA and a former insider in Downing Street MON under Tony Blair, sets out to see if these new ideas could MON hold answers for Britain's long term economic future. Cities MON are where the modern global economy happens, but ever since MON the decline of heavy industry, Britain's northern cities MON have performed below the national average. Now, key national MON and local figures, from Lord Michael Heseltine to Bristol's MON new Mayor George Ferguson, famous for his red trousers, are MON pinning their hopes for an economic revival on giving MON greater economic powers to city halls. MON Speaking to a wide range of voices from both sides of the MON Atlantic, and combining wit with insights from urban MON geography, history and economics, Matthew asks: could MON Britain's great cities be the key to us all turning the MON economic corner? MON MON Producer: Mukul Devichand. MON MON 21:00 Shared Planet b03f9bgf (Listen) MON Restriction and Choice MON MON In Australia some housing estates put restrictions on what MON people can do to protect koalas.

Or are the needs and rights of MON people greater than those of species under threat? Monty Don MON explores whether people are prepared to forgo personal MON choice for wildlife in a world where human population is MON increasingly putting pressure on many species.

This was followed by MON The Little Friend in 2002. Eleven years later, her eagerly MON awaited, much anticipated third novel, The Goldfinch, comes MON to Book at Bedtime, coinciding with worldwide publication. MON MON At the heart of the novel lies a masterwork by the Dutch MON painter Carel Fabritius, a picture of a small chained bird, MON The Goldfinch. This tiny painting becomes the only certainty MON for thirteen year old Theo Decker when his secure world with MON his devoted mother is shattered. From the chaos of existence MON with his reckless father, and a passionate friendship with MON the crazy, warm-hearted Boris, to the drawing rooms of the MON Upper East Side and a dusty downtown antique shop, Theo is MON left to find his own way through his teenage years and into MON adulthood. The painting is his talisman, his touchstone, MON until it draws him into a murky criminal underworld of MON drugs, art theft and fatal dealings. MON MON Tartt follows Theo through grief, teenage delinquency, MON passionate friendship and obsessive love, in a story of MON enthralling suspense, peopled with unforgettable characters. MON As the drama reaches its gripping conclusion, Theo may or MON may not find out how to survive. MON MON In today's episode: 'Negotiable instrument'. Theo finds that MON both art and love can be bought, sold and used as MON collateral. MON MON Donna Tartt was born in Greenwood, Mississippi, and is a MON graduate of Bennington College.

MON MON 23:00 Imagine John Lennon's Bermuda Adventure b03g9k5b (Listen) MON Months before John Lennon's life was ended, he spent the MON summer of 1980 living in Bermuda. Lennon was an enthusiastic MON yachtsman and sailed through a gale to reach Bermuda where MON he took a rental at a beautiful waterside residence in MON Fairyland, one of the island's oldest neighbourhoods. MON MON While there, he composed many songs and the imagery of MON Bermuda can be heard in a number of tracks on his final two MON albums. John McCarthy hears from those who met him and MON discovers how he got to grips with his creative energy once MON more. MON MON We hear from Captain Hank Halsted and crewmember Tyler Coney MON about life on Megan Jaye, the boat which took Lennon to MON Bermuda, his demeanour and his sailing skills. We also hear MON from Donna Bennett who rented Lennon his Bermuda residence MON and visited the singer on a number of occasions to make sure MON all was well. MON MON While on the island, John Lennon posed for a painting by New MON York artist Nancy Gosnell and she recalls what it was like MON having the ex-Beatle relaxed and ease before her canvas. The MON finished painting now sits above Lennon's piano in New York, MON enjoyed by Yoko Ono. MON MON Last year a memorial to Lennon was unveiled at the Botanical MON Gardens. The centrepiece is a sculpture by Bermuda artist MON Graham Foster. He explains more about the thinking behind it MON and the Lennon Peace Concert, now an annual musical event in MON Bermuda.

The Liverpool football player TUE Luis Suarez was called disgusting for biting an opponent and TUE received a major penalty, a ten match ban, as a result. Yet TUE he did little damage and other footballers routinely get TUE away with causing far more harm with little, if any, moral TUE outrage. Suarez bit and the disgust his action induced in TUE others arguably made him a moral deviant, potentially TUE influencing the severe punishment. TUE TUE The surprising psychology of disgust is the subject of this TUE episode of The Human Zoo. It's presented by Michael TUE Blastland, with the trusted guidance of Nick Chater, TUE Professor of Behavioural Science at Warwick Business School.

FRI FRI 11:00 Electric News: The World's First Radio Station FRI b03gby1r (Listen) FRI We often think of the scheduled broadcasting of news, FRI information and entertainment as having begun in the 1920s. FRI But we're wrong. It was in 1893 in Budapest that Theodore FRI Puskas opened his Telefon Hirmondo or 'Telephone Newspaper'. FRI FRI Subscribers to this telephone service could enjoy a daily FRI timetable of foreign, national and local news, sport, FRI weather, fashion, stock market reports, language lessons, FRI music, theatre and much more. It was delivered by a team of FRI journalists, copy-writers, editors, announcers and engineers FRI which would be familiar to any radio station today. To our FRI ears, Telefon Hirmondo would have sounded uncannily modern. FRI For example, there would be live relays of church services, FRI theatre productions, concerts and opera performances and FRI reports direct from parliament and sports events. FRI FRI Laurie Taylor travels to Budapest to uncover this FRI extraordinary story of 'radio before radio'. He visits a FRI special exhibition at the city's postal museum and takes a FRI look inside Hungarian State Opera, whose performances were FRI broadcast live via Telefon Hirmondo from the 1890s. FRI FRI Laurie explores the lengths to which Telefon Hirmondo went FRI to market its product, hooking in not just domestic FRI subscribers but hotels, restaurants, clubs, dental surgeries FRI and barber shops. He also delves into the telephone's early FRI history to explain the confusion on both sides of the FRI Atlantic over what the device was best used for. FRI FRI How did Hungary come to lead the world in broadcasting, FRI rather than the USA, Britain or France? The genius of FRI Theodore Puskas is a large part of the explanation. Among FRI the contributors, we hear from his descendant, Barbara FRI Fally-Puskas. FRI FRI Producer: Andrew Green FRI An Andrew Green production for BBC Radio 4. FRI FRI 11:30 The Gobetweenies b03ggpbj (Listen) FRI Series 3, Episode 4 FRI FRI Episode Four of Marcella Evaristi's comedy explores the FRI impossibility of retaining your privacy when you lead a FRI go-betweening life. FRI FRI Joe had wanted to keep his new affair secret. His new FRI girlfriend is twenty four and he now wishes he hadn't called FRI Mimi's most recent ex-husband the Decrepit from Connecticut. FRI Mimi is being badgered about bringing a 'plus one' to a FRI wedding. She's in a state of post divorce fragility and FRI begins to wonder if Joe still secretly longs for her. After FRI all, he brought her lilacs on their wedding anniversary. FRI FRI Tom, already burdened by having to pretend he doesn't know FRI about Tuberose, his Dad's hot new girlfriend, dreams FRI confusingly and guiltily about the wrong girl. Not his FRI girlfriend Poppy, but Lucy's fifteen year old best friend FRI Katy. He's been talking in his sleep. How do you cope with a FRI leaking subconscious? FRI FRI Meanwhile, having discovered that Tuberose works at Latex FRI Couture of Holloway, Mimi is talked into checking her out.

But what do Scottish FRI Nationalists believe and how has the argument developed over FRI Scotland's History? Professor Murray Pittock of Glasgow FRI University, author of "The Road to Independence" (2014) FRI explores the growth of Scottish Nationalism from Scotland's FRI prehistory, through Union with England, the Scots FRI contribution to the British Empire, and the Salmond FRI Government of today. Scottish Nationalism is the force which FRI may end the Union with England and propel an independent FRI Scottish state on to the world stage. Here is the story of FRI how it has grown over the centuries.
