Helen Mark heads to SAT Weybridge in Surrey to visit Brooklands - claimed to be the SAT world's first purpose-built motor racing circuit to hear how SAT one Hugh Locke-King's passion for speed led him to have the SAT track designed and built on his land, almost bankrupting SAT him. SAT SAT The site was used for land speed records even before the SAT first race and also became a centre for aviation SAT development. It reached its heyday in the 1920s and 30s but SAT World War II saw it taken over by the Ministry of Defence SAT and its decline as a circuit. SAT SAT Enthusiasts from the Brooklands Society fought to preserve SAT it - both by digging the track free of overgrowing weeds and SAT by getting it listed - and the museum continues to celebrate SAT the records and achievements marked in its history. Malcolm SAT Campbell's grandson Don Wales shares about his family's love SAT of the track. SAT SAT Helen Mark heads to the track in style - in a 1929 four and SAT a half litre Bentley - to see how it's used today. Members SAT of the Vintage Sports Car Club (VSCC) take tests, both of SAT vehicles and drivers, around planned courses but how will SAT Helen fare on her spin up test hill and the historic SAT banking?

How SAT convincing and fascinating is his depiction of the 1980s SAT music scene? SAT SAT The RSC's Roaring Girls season aims to bring lesser known SAT works (especially those with strong female leads) by SAT Shakespeare's contemporaries back into the spotlight. The SAT latest play to open at The Swan in Stratford is Arden of SAT Faversham, a revenge tragedy whose authorship is unknown. SAT How easily does the decision to play up the comedy sit with SAT the gruesome story? SAT SAT The film Frank stars one of cinema's most handsome, SAT sought-after actors Michael Fassbender playing a man who SAT wears a large polystyrene head all the time. Is it a waste SAT of great talent or a fascinating way to see how he copes SAT without the chance to show any expression? SAT SAT Amanda Vickery's BBC2 series The Story of Women and Art aims SAT to rediscover the great forgotten female artists in the SAT world of fine art, and to discover why they have been SAT sidelined through the ages. Among them a 16th century SAT Italian sculptor and a paper cutter from The Dutch Republic SAT whose works were largely forgotten. SAT SAT Lily Allen's album Sheezus is a comeback after three years SAT away.

Is talent alone SAT enough to ensure survival? Taylor argues that what allows a SAT writer's work to endure is not straightforward merit, but SAT something far more complex: an immensely subtle calibration SAT of talent with the preoccupations of the age that follows. SAT Tone, taste, fashion and luck all play a part. Taylor speaks SAT to the writers Louis de Bernieres, Tracy Chevalier and David SAT Lodge as well as to Professor Dame Hermione Lee, the critic SAT Peter Kemp and to Simon Winder, the Publishing Director of SAT Penguin Press.

SAT Jarvis slips between the shadows to find punks, poets, poker SAT dens and an alcohol fuelled badger watch and eavesdrops on a SAT series of nocturnal dreams and dramas. SAT SAT His guide to the dark is poet, author and explorer of the SAT night Al Alvarez. In this trip through the night Al points SAT him towards a gambling club where players never see daylight SAT and nerves begin to fray around the card table; to a SAT feminist punk gig where other more exotic identities emerge SAT under cover of darkness; and to an allotment in Hastings SAT where a man's mind unwinds whilst drinking beer, feeling SAT 'the wild' and entertaining notions of sabotage.

SAT SAT Coming this week from the University of Nottingham, "The 3rd SAT Degree" is a funny, lively and dynamic quiz show aimed at SAT cultivating the next generation of Radio 4 listeners whilst SAT delighting the current ones. SAT SAT The Specialist Subjects in this episode are British History, SAT Management Studies and Philosophy and the questions range SAT from the International Monetary Fund., Kierkegaard and SAT Wagner to the Fat Slags and Goofy SAT SAT The show is recorded on location at a different University SAT each week, and it pits three Undergraduates against three of SAT their Professors in a genuinely original and fresh take on SAT an academic quiz. Being a Radio 4 programme, it of course SAT meets the most stringent standards of academic rigour - but SAT with lots of facts and jokes thrown in for good measure. SAT SAT Together with host Steve Punt, the show tours the (sometimes SAT posh, sometimes murky, but always welcoming!) Union SAT buildings, cafés and lecture halls of six universities SAT across the UK. SAT SAT The rounds vary between Specialist Subjects and General SAT Knowledge, quickfire bell-and-buzzer rounds and the SAT 'Highbrow & Lowbrow' round cunningly devised to test not SAT only the students' knowledge of current affairs, history, SAT languages and science, but also their Professors' awareness SAT of television, film, and One Direction... In addition, the SAT Head-to-Head rounds, in which students take on their SAT Professors in their own subjects, were particularly lively, SAT and offered plenty of scope for mild embarrassment on both SAT sides... SAT SAT The resulting show is funny, fresh, and not a little bit SAT surprising, with a truly varied range of scores, friendly SAT rivalry, and moments where students wished they had more SAT than just glanced at that reading list... SAT SAT In this series, the universities are Bristol, Kent, SAT Bedfordshire, Birmingham, Nottingham & Aberystwyth. SAT SAT Producer: David Tyler SAT A Pozzitive Television production for BBC Radio 4 SAT SAT Overflow (incl Cast Lists) SAT SAT The host, Steve Punt, although best known as a satirist on SAT The Now Show is also someone who delights in all facets of SAT knowledge, not just in the Humanities (his educational SAT background) but in the sciences as well. As well as "The Now SAT Show" he has made a number of documentaries for Radio 4, on SAT subjects as varied as "The Poet Unwound - The History Of The SAT Spleen" and "Getting The Gongs" - an investigation into SAT awards ceremonies - as well as a half-hour comedy for Radio SAT 4's 2008 Big Bang Day set in the Large Hadron Collider, SAT called "The Genuine Particle". This makes him the perfect SAT host for a show which aims to be an intellectual, fulfilling SAT and informative quiz, but with wit and a genuine delight in SAT exploring the subjects at hand.

SAT SAT Years ago Jon Broderick, who fishes for salmon in Alaska, SAT visited the famous gathering of cowboy poets in Elko, SAT Nevada. Jon knew, not least from listening to radio traffic SAT between boats on the fishing grounds, that fishermen and SAT women, too, celebrated their way of life, complained about SAT their lot, and sent each other up in verse, song and SAT stories. So, with his friend Jay Speakman he organised the SAT first Fisher Poets Gathering, in Astoria, at the mouth of SAT the Columbia River in Oregon. SAT SAT That was 17 years ago; now for a weekend every February SAT (when the fishing is quiet) fisher poets come from all over SAT America - Florida, Maine, Chesapeake Bay, Alaska. These SAT tough characters, who all know someone who has drowned, SAT stand up and, unembarrassed, completely naturally, read SAT their poems. Hundreds listen: there are sessions in bars and SAT readings all over town. There are workshops, exhibitions, SAT and the community radio station broadcasts proceedings, SAT live. SAT SAT This year, for the first time, a poet came from beyond the SAT United States. Katrina Porteous lives in the Northumbrian SAT fishing village of Beadnell. For years she has worked with, SAT recorded and written about fishing people there. SAT SAT She hears astonishing work: from Dave Densmore, on his boat SAT Cold Stream; from Moe Bowstern, an extraordinarily prolific SAT writer about the lives of fisher women; from Richard King SAT who fishes in Alaska, and farms in Hawaii. She meets, too, SAT Lloyd Montgomery, an Aleut fisher poet. And wherever they SAT are from, Katrina discovers, fisher poets share concerns SAT over sustainability - of fish stocks, their communities, SAT their way of life.

SUN "I've never liked being in a crowd" SUN SUN 06:35 The Living World b042z3t5 (Listen) SUN Springtime in the Hazel Coppice SUN SUN The ancient tradition of coppicing, the periodic cutting of SUN trees and allowing the stumps to regrow, was once common SUN throughout lowland Britain but has been on the wane since SUN the late 1800's. The mosaic habitat of coppiced woodland SUN provides opportunities for a wide variety of wildlife to SUN thrive. With more light reaching the forest floor, recently SUN cut areas are awash with springtime flowers. As the trees SUN regrow they provide habitat for the sleepy and secretive SUN dormouse and many woodland butterflies. Presenter Chris SUN Sperring visits a traditionally managed hazel coppice in SUN Dorset and is joined by coppicer David Partridge and SUN botanist Andy Byfield. As David describes this ancient form SUN of woodland management Andy identifies the woodland plants SUN that are given breathing space by this vanishing tradition. SUN Produced by Ellie Sans.

SUN SUN It's hard to believe that it was nearly 30 years ago when SUN Ken Hom first appeared on BBC television with his series SUN that arguably revolutionised British cooking. SUN SUN Back in 1984, many people in the UK had hardly tasted SUN Chinese food (let alone tried to cook it for themselves) SUN when they tuned into BBC TV to watch the youthful presenter SUN of Ken Hom's Chinese Cookery. Since then, Ken has continued SUN to spread the word both here and abroad through television, SUN books and teaching. It's said that seven million of his woks SUN have been sold internationally. SUN SUN Sheila and Ken recall the key moments and mentors in his SUN life; since he began to learn to cook as an 11 year old SUN working at his uncle's Chicago restaurant, to his position SUN now where he is regarded as one of the world's most renowned SUN chefs and ambassadors for Chinese cuisine.

This week, SUN two unexpected events in Brazil's path to independence. The SUN first occurred in 1808, when the entire Portuguese court SUN moved across the Atlantic to escape Napoleon. They lived in SUN Rio de Janeiro, which they enjoyed so much that they stayed SUN on for another 13 years. The second occurred in 1822 when SUN the King of Portugal's son, Dom Pedro, declared SUN 'Independence or Death', breaking Brazil free from her SUN European overlords. We reveal that the British were heavily SUN involved in both events. SUN SUN "As quid pro quo for escorting the Portuguese across the SUN Atlantic, the British ended up arm twisting the Portuguese SUN royal court into signing a very one sided treaty, which in SUN fact ended up giving the British more rights than the SUN Brazilians themselves." Patrick Wilcken, author Empire SUN Adrift. SUN SUN A fast paced and astounding story of war and slavery, SUN featuring Luciana Martins of Birkbeck College, Emeritus SUN Professor David Brookshaw, and the best-selling Brazilian SUN author Laurentino Gomez, author of 1808: How a Weak Prince, SUN A Mad Queen, and the British Navy Tricked Napoleon and SUN Changed the World.

SUN Assistant Producer: Darby Dorras. SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN Q. I am moving into my new home in Newcastle with a south SUN facing garden 9m (30ft) by 10m(33ft) enclosed by a high SUN fence and a brick wall. I would like advice about the type SUN and positioning of an apple tree. I love Egremont Russets so SUN would like to know if this is a suitable location for such a SUN tree. SUN A. It would be best to grow a variety of trees trained SUN against a wall as espaliers or cordons. A free standing tree SUN will take up too much room in the garden. Make sure you get SUN some suitable pollinators in the area. This variety will SUN grow well in the north-east of the country, and you could SUN also try Ashmead's Kernel or Ribston Pippin. SUN SUN Q. Could the panel suggest some plants that will survive the SUN heat of a care home and still give colour and maybe scent? SUN A. Most plants will struggle to survive in warm, dry SUN conditions all year round. Even Succulents and Cacti need a SUN colder spell. Go for some summer flowering plants like SUN Kalanchoe. You could also try Stephanotis although it is not SUN an easy plant to grow. You can provide the humidity it will SUN need by standing it in a tray of water or misting it. SUN SUN Q. Could you suggest any trailing plants that could be SUN planted inside ugly pots to disguise the outside? They are SUN about 1ft (0.3m) high by 1ft (0.3m) in diameter and are SUN concrete. The soil depth is about 50cm (19inches). SUN A. Ivy would be a good option as it is fast moving, SUN self-clinging and affordable. You could add some summer SUN flowering annuals such as Nasturtium, trailing Lobelia or SUN trailing Geraniums such as Ivy Leaf. Aubretia would be a SUN more permanent option. SUN SUN Q. I have two apple trees in pots. Moss has started to grow SUN in the pots, and so this year I want to plant something SUN under the trees that will both discourage the moss and SUN benefit the soil. Could the panel suggest something? SUN A. Firstly try to remove the moss without disturbing the SUN apple tree roots. Bedding plants are the best option and SUN there is something to suit everyone. Later on in the year SUN try winter bedding such as Pansies or Pom Pom Daisies. Make SUN sure that you give trees in pots a little bit more food and SUN moisture. SUN SUN Q. My garden is 13m long by 8m wide. The local council are SUN going to build a school the other side of my fence which SUN will be as tall as the house. What can I plant at the bottom SUN of my garden that will grow rapidly and provide a good SUN screen? SUN A. Try a variety of trees, as a hedge will simply provide a SUN block shape rather than break up the view. Make yourself SUN aware of the high hedge legislation. Try the River Birch for SUN its great autumn colour. Also think about using Conifers or SUN a Thuja. You could try a good species of Hornbeam which can SUN be lightly clipped to create leaf retention in the autumn. SUN SUN Q. I have struggled to grow grass on a south facing front SUN lawn. I have re-seeded several times but it always dies off. SUN We have discovered that there is about two inches of soil SUN above what appears to be builders' rubble. What could we SUN grow there instead of a lawn? SUN A. You need to remove some of the rubble because you don't SUN know what is hidden and it could be mildly toxic or SUN alkaline. Then try adding good quality topsoil. SUN Mediterranean plants would usually grow well in these SUN conditions but be careful if the soil has become very SUN heavily compacted. Too much moisture may build up over SUN winter and cause root death. Try Escholtzia from seed.

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.

Writer Maria SUN Margaronis travels through the Greek Cypriot south and the SUN Turkish Cypriot north to understand how this tiny country SUN torn in two and why has it proved so difficult to stitch it SUN back together. SUN SUN In the 1950s, under British colonial rule, members of the SUN Greek Cypriot majority launched the violent EOKA campaign SUN for Enosis, or union with Greece. Turkish Cypriots, under SUN threat and enlisted for help by the British, mounted a SUN counter-offensive for partition. Britain withdrew in 1960, SUN leaving an independent state unloved by its citizens. By SUN 1963 violence had broken out again; the capital was SUN partitioned and Turkish Cypriots withdrew into separate SUN enclaves. In 1974, the military dictatorship in power in SUN Athens overthrew the Cyprus government to declare Enosis; SUN Turkey invaded and took over a third of the island. Some SUN 200,000 Cypriots became refugees in their own land; there SUN are still missing people from both communities. Since then, SUN repeated attempts at a settlement have failed. The Greek SUN Cypriot Republic of Cyprus is an EU member; the Turkish SUN Republic of Cyprus is unrecognised by any country but SUN Turkey. The two are separated by a UN-controlled buffer SUN zone, and until 2003, there was no crossing and no direct SUN communication between them. SUN SUN Fifty years ago Cypriots lived together as neighbours; now SUN they have separate histories and no common language. And SUN yet, there are plenty of contacts, friendships, even SUN marriages between them; the divided island has been at peace SUN for 40 years. Maria talks to inter-communal couples, to SUN soldiers who once shot each other and are now fast friends, SUN and to pragmatists on both sides about what it is to live SUN this surreal paradox. She visits the frozen spaces of the UN SUN buffer zone like Nicosia Airport where time has stood still SUN in 1974, and encounters the frozen spaces of history and SUN memory, where shards of grief still linger: a school SUN commemoration of the EOKA struggle, a Greek Cypriot refugee SUN settlement & the ruins of the former luxury holiday resort SUN of Varosha. What does it take for people to leave the past SUN behind? Why might they cling onto it? And, in a world that's SUN changed completely since 1974, can the inhabitants of this SUN strategically located island ever really hope to determine SUN their own future?

This week, Ben tests out a new coat, suitable SUN for the cold climate and Jane celebrates her birthday. SUN SUN Written by ..... Katy Wix SUN Produced by ..... Tilusha Ghelani SUN SUN ABOUT BIRD ISLAND: SUN Bird Island is an atmospheric non-audience comedy about a SUN cheery scientist based in Sub-Antarctica. Starring Reece SUN Shearsmith, Julian Rhind-Tutt, Alison Steadman and katy Wix. SUN On the one hand, Ben is on the trip of a lifetime to SUN Sub-Antarctica. On the other, he's trapped in a vast icy SUN landscape with a dodgy internet connection and a dictaphone. SUN Loneliness is something of a problem. So, Ben shares his SUN thoughts with us in the form of an audio 'log'. SUN SUN His fellow scientist Graham should alleviate this sense of SUN isolation, but the tragi-comic fact is, they are nerdy SUN blokes, so they can only stumble through yet another mumbled SUN exchange. Not to mention the new arrival Jane, who Ben seems SUN to be even more awkward around, for reasons that aren't SUN entirely clear to him. SUN SUN Apart from his research studying the Albatross on the SUN Island, Ben attempts to continue normal life with an SUN earnestness and enthusiasm which is ultimately very SUN endearing. SUN SUN Bird Island is written by Katy Wix, one half of the sketch SUN Duo 'Anna and Katy'. Katy is a writer and performer who has SUN made appearances in 'Miranda', 'Outnumbered' and stars as SUN Daisy in 'Not Going Out' and authored 'The Oberon Book of SUN Comic Monologues For Women'.

The sharp new SUN comedy from Frank Skinner returns for a second series. SUN SUN Well observed, clever and funny, Don't Start is a scripted SUN comedy with a deceptively simple premise - an argument. Each SUN week our couple fall out over another apparently trivial SUN flashpoint - the Krankies, toenail trimming and semantics. SUN SUN The stakes mount as Neil and Kim battle with words. But SUN these are no ordinary arguments. The two outdo each other SUN with increasingly absurd images, unexpected literary SUN references (the Old Testament, Jack Spratt and the first Mrs SUN Rochester, to name a few) and razor sharp analysis of their SUN beloved's weaknesses. Underneath the cutting wit, however, SUN there is an unmistakable tenderness. SUN SUN Frank says: SUN "Having established in the first series that Neil and Kim SUN are a childless academic couple who during their numerous SUN arguments luxuriate in their own and each other's learning SUN and wit, I've tried in the second series to dig a little SUN deeper into their relationship. Love and affection SUN occasionally splutter into view, like a Higgs boson in a big SUN tunnel-thing, but can such emotions ever prevail in a SUN relationship where the couple prefers to wear their brains, SUN rather than their hearts, on their sleeves? Is that too much SUN offal imagery?" SUN SUN Episode 2: The Toenail SUN Frank's attempts at recycling strike Kim as an unhealthy SUN obsession with death.

They are all part of a new style of collaborative SUN enterprise in which nearly everyone can join and (maybe) SUN make money: the 'shared economy'. SUN SUN It's breaking cover, growing fast and could be important. SUN Perhaps the best known example is Airbnb but many more SUN companies have sprung up allowing people to share their SUN things and even their time. And now companies are trying to SUN make money out of what makes all this sharing possible: SUN trust. SUN SUN But existing regulations and laws are set up for traditional SUN businesses such as hotels and car hire companies, and that SUN is causing problems.

Riding the Very Terrible 1914 Tour of Italy, MON Episode 1 MON MON It is twelve years since Tim Moore, the ultimate amateur, MON slogged around the route of the Tour de France. At MON forty-eight years old, and distraught by those riders who MON are despoiling the heroic image of cycling, he decides it's MON time to reacquaint his feet with cleats and show these soft MON modern-day cyclists what a real challenge is. MON MON A brief internet search later, he discovers the 1914 Giro MON d'Italia, the hardest bike race in history. Eighty-one MON riders started and only eight finished, after enduring MON cataclysmic storms, roads strewn with nails and even the MON loss of an eye by one competitor. MON MON Undeterred, Tim sets off to cycle all 3,200km of it. For MON authenticity, he decides to do it on a 100-year-old bike, MON which, unburdened by relevant experience, he opts to build MON himself. Wearing period leather goggles, a woollen jersey, MON and with an account of the 1914 Giro as his trusty MON companion, Tim sets off to tell the story of this historic MON race, as well as the travails of a middle-aged man cycling MON up a lot of large mountains on a mainly wooden bicycle.

MON MON As a new play about her life goes on stage in Chichester, we MON discuss the significance and legacy of poet Stevie Smith. MON MON Dr Wendy Lawson on her experiences of autism and why so many MON women don't get diagnosed. MON MON And, from the archive of the Imperial War Museum - we hear a MON first hand a account of the life of a World War I signaller, MON Annie May Martin. MON MON Presenter: Jane Garvey MON Producer: Ruth Watts. MON MON Women and autism MON MON According MON to the National Autistic Society, MON around 700,000 people in the UK have MON autism. MON That’s one person in every 100. Many people on the MON spectrum experience difficulty getting a diagnosis, but for MON women in particular MON autism is often overlooked or diagnosed late. MON MON Dr MON Wendy Lawson is one such case. At school Wendy MON was considered to be intellectually disabled and ‘almost MON incapable of doing as MON she is told’. In her teens, she was misdiagnosed as MON schizophrenic. The label MON stuck for more than 25 years, until she was diagnosed in MON 1994 as having high MON functioning autism. MON MON Since MON then she has dedicated her life to helping others MON understand autism through her MON academic research, writing and talks. She talks to Jane MON about her misdiagnosis and why autism is so often MON under-diagnosed in females. MON MON Young Children and Grief MON MON Benjamin MON Brooks-Dutton’s wife was knocked down and killed by a car MON in North West London MON as he walked with her, pushing their two year old son in MON his buggy. Being left MON as a widower to raise their son, Ben started a blog MON lifeasawidower MON to encourage MON others to open up about their grief. It proved hugely MON popular. He has now MON written a book about how he and Jackson have coped since MON Desreen’s death. Ben MON joins Jane to explain the importance of fostering memories MON for a child who has MON lost their parent at an early age. MON MON It’s Not Raining, Daddy, It’s Happy, is MON published by Hodder and Stoughton MON Grief Encounter MON Winston's Wish MON Child Bereavement UK MON Care for the Family MON Widowed and Young MON MON Stevie Smith MON MON The play, MON Stevie MON about the life of novelist and poet Stevie Smith is MON currently MON running in Chichester with Zoe Wanamaker playing the MON unconventional, droll, MON melancholic and hugely talented writer. So who was Stevie MON Smith? When she MON died in 1971 she was one of the twentieth-century’s most MON popular MON poets. She’s known for putting the story of her life into MON her MON poems and prose, but she’s also celebrated for her MON intrigue, satire and playfulness. MON Her literary admirers are numerous. Two of them, poet MON Catherine Smith MON and Dr Will May, lecturer in English at the University of MON Southampton and the editor of the Collected Poems and MON Drawings of Stevie Smith, MON to be published later in the year, join Jane in the studio. MON Stevie MON runs at MON the Minerva Theatre, Chichester from 24 April – 24 May. MON MON WW1: Women and the War – A Signaller’s Story MON In 1918, Annie May Martin was a telegraphist working in MON France. Her role MON with the Women’s Army Auxiliary Corps was to pass messages MON in morse code MON between front line troops and London. In an archive MON interview, she looks back MON on her life as a signaller, why they were called the ‘blue MON and white angels’ MON and remembers the hostility she experienced at the hands of MON French civilians. MON Her reflections are included in IWM’s MON Lives of the First World War MON launched today to create a digital memorial to mark the MON lives of MON more than 8 million people in WW1.

She's never been to prison. This MON is a good thing anyway, but particularly so because Nikki MON has muscular dystrophy, and gets around in a mobility MON scooter. MON MON The UK's prison population is getting older, and as a result MON the prison service has to manage increasing numbers of MON inmates with physical disabilities. Can it cope with their MON needs? MON MON Nikki speaks to former inmates, justice officials, and The MON Prisons Minister to investigate whether disabled prisoners MON experience harsher treatment than others. She discovers a MON world where staff refuse to push wheelchairs, disabled MON prisoners are held in the wrong level of security, lack of MON access can mean weeks without showering, and where one man's MON experience left him on a life support machine. MON MON Is a system so reliant on Victorian buildings able to MON provide the sort of equal access and treatment expected in MON the outside world? Does prison culture discriminate against MON disabled people in ways that are now unacceptable in normal MON society? Are staff sufficiently trained to help with varied MON physical needs in an era of government cuts and fewer MON resources? Is it even fair to expect them to do so? MON MON Nikki asks what the prison service and the government are MON doing to improve conditions for disabled people, and avoid a MON "double punishment", at the same time as ensuring they face MON justice. She hears about schemes encouraging prisoners to MON help each other, the push to develop new more accessible MON prisons, and the sentencing options open to judges. MON MON Nikki sets out on her scooter to tackle these issues and MON discover what it's really like to be "Disabled and Behind MON Bars".

She is also uncharacteristically MON enthusiastic about all things festive at work in 'Cafe MON Culture', the Bruntsfield coffee shop she runs with her MON usually sensible big sister Clare (played by Hilary Lyon). MON MON However, everybody else in the Cafe Culture team seems to be MON dreading it all and there's little evidence of seasonal MON goodwill around.

MON MON Temperamental, opera-loving polish chef, Krzyzstof (Simon MON Goodall) is having his own major traumas and reservations MON about everything in his life and although he plans on MON holding a traditional feast with friends, a major MON falling-out with Trisha makes this increasingly unlikely.

MON MON Coming this week from the University of Birmingham, "The 3rd MON Degree" is a funny, lively and dynamic quiz show aimed at MON cultivating the next generation of Radio 4 listeners whilst MON delighting the current ones. MON MON The Specialist Subjects in this episode are History of MON Medicine, Social Policy and American Studies and the MON questions range from the Russo-Japanese war of 1805 and MON Tristan & Isolde to Candy Crush Corner and monkey glands... MON MON The show is recorded on location at a different University MON each week, and it pits three Undergraduates against three of MON their Professors in a genuinely original and fresh take on MON an academic quiz. Being a Radio 4 programme, it of course MON meets the most stringent standards of academic rigour - but MON with lots of facts and jokes thrown in for good measure. MON MON Together with host Steve Punt, the show tours the (sometimes MON posh, sometimes murky, but always welcoming!) Union MON buildings, cafés and lecture halls of six universities MON across the UK. MON MON The rounds vary between Specialist Subjects and General MON Knowledge, quickfire bell-and-buzzer rounds and the MON 'Highbrow & Lowbrow' round cunningly devised to test not MON only the students' knowledge of current affairs, history, MON languages and science, but also their Professors' awareness MON of television, film, and One Direction... In addition, the MON Head-to-Head rounds, in which students take on their MON Professors in their own subjects, were particularly lively, MON and offered plenty of scope for mild embarrassment on both MON sides... MON MON The resulting show is funny, fresh, and not a little bit MON surprising, with a truly varied range of scores, friendly MON rivalry, and moments where students wished they had more MON than just glanced at that reading list... MON MON In this series, the universities are Bristol, Kent, MON Bedfordshire, Birmingham, Nottingham & Aberystwyth. MON MON Overflow (incl Cast Lists) MON The host, Steve Punt, although best known as a satirist on MON The Now Show is also someone who delights in all facets of MON knowledge, not just in the Humanities (his educational MON background) but in the sciences as well. As well as "The Now MON Show" he has made a number of documentaries for Radio 4, on MON subjects as varied as "The Poet Unwound - The History Of The MON Spleen" and "Getting The Gongs" - an investigation into MON awards ceremonies - as well as a half-hour comedy for Radio MON 4's 2008 Big Bang Day set in the Large Hadron Collider, MON called "The Genuine Particle". This makes him the perfect MON host for a show which aims to be an intellectual, fulfilling MON and informative quiz, but with wit and a genuine delight in MON exploring the subjects at hand. MON MON The 3rd Degree is a Pozzitive production, produced by David MON Tyler. His radio credits include Armando Iannucci's Charm MON Offensive, Cabin Pressure, Bigipedia, The Brig Society, MON Thanks A Lot, Milton Jones!, Kevin Eldon Will See You Now, MON Jeremy Hardy Speaks To The Nation, Giles Wemmbley Hogg Goes MON Off, The 99p Challenge, My First Planet, The Castle and MON even, going back a bit, Radio Active.

TUE TUE The song 'Try A Little Tenderness' became a powerhouse hit TUE for both Aretha Franklin and Otis Redding.

TUE TUE Huge investment is being made in renewable energy but as TUE solar and wind fluctuate and are intermittent often energy TUE goes to waste because the points at which they generate TUE isn't when the demand occurs. So why not use that energy and TUE store it in another form to be used when it's required? Many TUE companies are proposing ideas to do that - from extending TUE traditional pumped hydro to compressing or liquefying air, TUE electrolysing water or shifting heavy materials up TUE mountains. Or will a revolution in batteries - making them TUE cheaper and from different materials - help the cause?

TUE TUE While much concern has focused on people trafficked into the TUE country, Jane Deith reveals how the most vulnerable in TUE society such as the homeless and people with learning TUE difficulties are being targeted by gangs who pick them off TUE the streets with the offer of money and accommodation.

There's no running water and no mains THU electricity, but every summer a small, dedicated team of THU wardens and volunteers lead by Paul Morrison take up THU residence on Coquet Island to ensure that the thousands of THU birds who migrate there will thrive and live secularly for THU the duration of their stay, including Britain's rarest THU nesting sea bird, the roseate tern. THU THU Just a mile off the coast of Amble, Northumberland, the THU reserve is also rich in human history and has been occupied THU since the 7th Century, initially as a monastic cell and THU later a lighthouse station.

THU THU Many thousands of nesting Sandwich, Arctic and common terns THU accompany the roseates in May, June and July, whilst THU thousands of puffins occupy the main part of the island - THU and this year they will be treated to their own, fully THU functioning piano...

Riding the Very Terrible 1914 Tour of Italy, FRI Episode 5 FRI FRI It is twelve years since Tim Moore, the ultimate amateur, FRI slogged around the route of the Tour de France. At FRI forty-eight years old, and distraught by those riders who FRI are despoiling the heroic image of cycling, he decides it's FRI time to reacquaint his feet with cleats and show these soft FRI modern-day cyclists what a real challenge is. FRI FRI A brief internet search later, he discovers the 1914 Giro FRI d'Italia, the hardest bike race in history. Eighty-one FRI riders started and only eight finished, after enduring FRI cataclysmic storms, roads strewn with nails and even the FRI loss of an eye by one competitor. FRI FRI Undeterred, Tim sets off to cycle all 3,200km of it. For FRI authenticity, he decides to do it on a 100-year-old bike, FRI which, unburdened by relevant experience, he opts to build FRI himself. Wearing period leather goggles, a woollen jersey, FRI and with an account of the 1914 Giro as his trusty FRI companion, Tim sets off to tell the story of this historic FRI race, as well as the travails of a middle-aged man cycling FRI up a lot of large mountains on a mainly wooden bicycle.

FRI FRI Directed by Nadia Molinari. FRI FRI Credits FRI India: Emma Cunniffe FRI Julie: Lyndsey Marshal FRI Divvie: Lee Ingleby FRI Clare: Joanne Mitchell FRI Guy: Jason Done FRI Mark: William Ash FRI Director: Nadia Molinari FRI Writer: Zosia Wand FRI FRI 11:00 Born in Bradford b04368f1 (Listen) FRI The Born in Bradford researchers are determined that theirs FRI should be an applied health research study with results FRI leading to better services. "Everything we do gets FRI translated into practice so that our work on congenital FRI anomalies has led to a city register for these children and FRI also a Yorkshire register," says Professor John Wright, the FRI Director of the Bradford Institute for Health Research. FRI FRI The tradition of marrying a cousin is becoming more FRI entrenched among British-born Pakistanis living in Bradford FRI than it was a generation ago. Cousin marriage has important FRI implications for health because marrying a cousin increases FRI the risks of passing on genetic disorders. Ruba, who married FRI her second cousin, had two children with I-cell disease. FRI Tragically both Hassam and Alishbah died and professionals FRI working with couples like Ruba and her husband hope that in FRI the future they will be able to provide better genetic FRI screening and advice. FRI FRI "It was a real shock to me when he was diagnosed," she says, FRI "I didn't even know what it was, we've nearly all been FRI married to cousins in our family and we didn't know this FRI condition existed." FRI FRI Born in Bradford was launched in 2007 - one of the world's FRI largest longitudinal studies with 13,500 babies and their FRI mothers agreeing to be followed. The impetus for research FRI came from high infant mortality rates - double the national FRI average - and so far the data has resulted in changes FRI including universal testing for gestational diabetes and FRI greater counselling about conditions associated with cousin FRI marriages. About 39 per cent of mothers in the study are of FRI white British origin, and 46 per cent are from Pakistan, FRI providing a fascinating insight into a new multi-ethnic FRI generation FRI FRI With those babies having reached school age there's greater FRI attention on research projects examining how they fare. In FRI 2012 researchers began testing hand and eye co-ordination, FRI vocabulary and letter recognition with all the children in FRI the reception classes of 88 primary schools. They also FRI worked with school nurses to measure cardiovascular health FRI and in this programme they examine other factors influencing FRI health, including air pollution, exercise levels and diet. FRI FRI Winifred follows some of the Bradford youngsters given air FRI pollution monitoring back packs as they go about their daily FRI lives. These are equipped with ultra violet analysis and FRI I-phones that track their route to and from school and link FRI exposure levels through local pollution monitoring units. FRI The backpacks sit next to the youngsters during class and FRI even give an indication of exposure during play times, for FRI example. Those taking part give samples which are being FRI monitored and assessed when variables, like the school FRI route, are changed. FRI FRI There are also the new stand sit desks - something all of us FRI might be hearing more about given concerns about our more FRI sedentary lifestyles. At one Bradford school pupils are FRI trialling desks which can be raised and lowered, giving FRI youngsters some movement during lessons. Wearing activity FRI monitors the benefits can be judged in terms of increased FRI metabolic rates as well whether they improve concentration FRI levels. Medical research suggests constant sitting is FRI harming health - stand sit desks might provide a solution FRI that extends beyond.
