SAT SAT 00:30 Book of the Week b044jbjf (Listen) SAT Doubling Back, Walking Home SAT SAT A beautiful, fascinating and moving memoir where the author SAT retraces walks undertaken by others, from the Highlands of SAT Scotland to the Swiss Alps and Kenya. SAT SAT In 1952 Linda Cracknell's father embarked on a hike through SAT the Swiss Alps. Fifty years later Linda retraces that SAT fateful journey, following the trail of the man she barely SAT knew. This collection of walking tales takes its theme from SAT that pilgrimage. The walks trace the contours of history, SAT following writers, relations and retreading ways across SAT mountains, valleys and coasts formerly trodden by drovers, SAT saints and adventurers. Each walk is about the reaffirming SAT of memories, beliefs and emotions, and especially of the SAT connection that one can have with the past through SAT particular places. SAT SAT Part Five: Walking Home SAT Linda Cracknell looks to the future as she walks the SAT pilgrimage route of St Cuthbert's Way between Scotland and SAT England and as she follows her own footsteps around her home SAT town of Aberfeldy in Perthshire.

Could you tell if you SAT sipped three different cups of coffee which was the best SAT quality without seeing the price? And if you were given a SAT pill to cure a headache - do you think it would help, SAT regardless of whether it was real medicine or not? The SAT Swedish neuroscientist Predrag Petrovic asks if a doctor's SAT expectations can affect the success of a patient's SAT treatment, the Indian neuro-economist Baba Shiv explains why SAT consumers expect something to be better if they pay more, SAT and the American musicologist Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis on SAT why our enjoyment of music is determined by what we're SAT expecting to hear. Photo credit: Science Photo Library SAT SAT Elizabeth Hellmuth Margulis SAT Professor Elizabeth SAT Hellmuth Margulis is Director of the Music Cognition Lab at SAT the University of SAT Arkansas in the United States, and author of “On Repeat: SAT How music plays the SAT Mind”. Her research approaches music from the perspective SAT of cognitive science, SAT and focuses on the dynamic moment to moment experience of SAT listeners without SAT special musical training. She believes expectation is SAT crucial to our enjoyment SAT of music, and that when we listen to music, we are always SAT forming expectations SAT of what comes next. SAT SAT Predrag Petrovic SAT Predrag Petrovic is a SAT Swedish neuroscientist from the Karolinska Institute in SAT Stockholm and one of SAT the world's leading researchers on the placebo effect, SAT which works by SAT manipulating a patient’s expectation of their treatment. SAT Professor Petrovic has SAT initiated the first ever study of the doctor rather than SAT the patient in the SAT placebo effect, by scanning the brain of the physician SAT during treatment of SAT patients. From his results, he explains why he puts down SAT the success of the SAT placebo effect to the interaction of the expectations SAT activated in both the SAT brain of the patient and the physician. Photo by Ulf SAT Sirborn SAT SAT Baba Shiv SAT Baba Shiv is an Indian SAT psychologist and Professor of Marketing at Stanford SAT Graduate Business School. SAT Much of his work examines the interplay of the brain’s SAT “liking” and “wanting” SAT systems and its implications for marketing and decision SAT making. Baba Shiv recently conducted a study on wine, SAT where he found that a person prefers wine if they’re told SAT it’s more expensive. SAT He sees this as a wake-up call for consumers, who need to SAT look at rationalising SAT their expectations, and focus on inner rather than outer SAT cues, like price and SAT packaging.

But Money Box has SAT discovered that some banks still impose restrictions and SAT administer the whole process badly - a year after a new SAT guidance was supposed to sort that out. Paul Lewis asks the SAT Financial Ombudsman Service - which gets 300 to 400 SAT complaints a year - what goes wrong and he asks the British SAT Bankers' Association why banks are struggling to get it SAT right. And joining Paul live in the studio is Caroline SAT Bielanska from Solicitors for the Elderly.

All this will give those who can afford SAT it a better chance of winning a prize. But are premium bonds SAT a good investment for those who can afford to put in the SAT maximum? And what about people with smaller amounts? Paul SAT Lewis crunches the odds with Jonquil Lowe, a lecturer in SAT personal finance at the Open University.

Parker SAT SAT 15:30 Tales from the Stave b044gvzf (Listen) SAT Series 10, Elgar's Salut D'Amour SAT SAT In this tenth series of Tales from the Stave Frances Fyfield SAT takes her musical investigation of the handwritten SAT manuscripts of our greatest composers back to the birthplace SAT of the man who was the subject of the first ever programme. SAT The cottage in which Edward Elgar was born in Lower SAT Broadheath, near Worcester, is now a museum in his honour, SAT and amongst the rich archive of his life and that of his SAT wife Alice is the piece that confirmed their relationship. SAT Salut D'Amour was Elgar's response to a poem 'Love's Grace' SAT that Alice had written to him in 1888. The museum has both SAT the original poem and the careful perfection of Elgar's SAT autograph score of Salut D'Amour which was sent to the SAT publisher Schott. It has all the hallmarks of Elgar's SAT elegant hand, complete with detailed corrections pasted over SAT the manuscript and the composers confident list of potential SAT versions of the piece for piano and violin, piano solo and SAT orchestra. Originally called Liebesgruss - or love's SAT greeting, it was translated into French on the advice of the SAT publisher. Elgar and Alice both spoke good German but SAT French, they suggested, would sell better. Sell it certainly SAT did. In Elgar's lifetime it was one of his most famous SAT compositions. SAT SAT Frances is joined at the Birthplace museum by Pianist Lucy SAT Parham, Violinist and scholar Rupert Marshall Luck who has SAT been working on a new edition of the piece, and handwriting SAT analyst Ruth Rostron. SAT The museum supervisor Chris Bennett invites Frances' guests SAT to play the piece from the score in the composers own hand, SAT a unique and moving moment for both. SAT But it's the importance of Alice Elgar in the life of the SAT composer that sings through this tiny musical gem. It's a SAT piece often dismissed by those who would only have Elgar as SAT the grandest of grand artists, as mere Salon music. However SAT as Frances discovers it contains the very best of him for SAT the very best of her, and in spite of rumours of friction SAT and distance in later married life, the bond between them SAT remained solid. It was cemented first in Salut D'Amour.

SUN To Give: SUN - Freephone 0800 404 8144 SUN - Freepost BBC Radio 4 Appeal, mark the back of the envelope SUN 'Working Families'. SUN SUN Working Families SUN The way we work in the UK is bad for us. For many parents SUN paid work means raising children in poverty. Half of all SUN children living in poverty have at least one parent who is SUN working, and many parents scrape together small incomes from SUN several low-paid jobs. Families who are cash poor are often SUN extremely time poor. SUN At the other extreme, there are the cash-rich families with SUN very time-poor parents, often working in 24/7 global jobs – SUN for them, family life suffers as well. However, we know that SUN work is important for individuals and for families, so we SUN have spent the last 35 years trying to make it better for SUN everyone. SUN SUN Helpline SUN We support parents on low incomes to enable them to stay in SUN work. Our legally trained advisers on the Working Families’ SUN Helpline take over 3,000 calls each year from people who SUN have problems at work (50 per cent are maternity-related) to SUN help them resolve the issue and stay in a job. We help SUN people write letters and prepare for meetings they may have SUN with their employers all the way through to resolution. SUN SUN Research, Policy and Campaigning SUN SUN Our ground breaking research – on fathers at work, flexible SUN working, on what families need – combined with our deep SUN understanding of what employers want, means that government SUN listens to us. This year we celebrate the Right to Request SUN Flexible Working for all, and in 2015 Shared Parental Leave SUN will enable fathers and mothers to take time off with their SUN new baby. SUN SUN Employers SUN SUN We work with large and small employers on their policies and SUN practice - helping them to realise the skills and talents of SUN every employee - to create work which works for families and SUN business alike.

With the singing group SUN Celeste, the Revd Phil Stone (Director of Scargill), Anna SUN Weister Andersson and other members of the Scargill SUN Community. The music is directed by Andreas Andersson and SUN Simon Lole. Producer: Stephen Shipley. SUN SUN Scargill House 01/06/2014 SUN SUN Please note: SUN This script cannot exactly reflect the transmission, as it SUN was prepared before the service was broadcast.

SUN SUN SUN Music: Saxophone intro SUN SUN SUN SUN Phil StoneA very warm welcome to Scargill House, a SUN conference and holiday centre set in beautiful Wharfedale, a SUN world of curlews and lambs and rather too many moles! It’s SUN my privilege and quite often my joy to lead the SUN international community here. SUN SUN Our first hymn is ‘Jesus calls us here to meet him’ SUN SUN SUN Music: Jesus calls us here to meet Him (Blaenwern) SUN SUN SUN Phil SUN : Here at Scargill we run a variety of programmes and SUN retreats. This weekend is for writers, and its title SUN ‘Panning for Gold’ is also the theme of our service this SUN morning. I'm going to ask Adrian Plass, who’s leading the SUN programme with his wife Bridget, to explain what it’s all SUN about. SUN Adrian SUN : Panning for gold involves placing a mix of materials into SUN your gold pan and shaking it under water so that the gold, SUN which is heavy, will work its way down to the bottom, while SUN the lighter, worthless materials move up to the surface and SUN can be swept away. Eventually, only the heaviest materials, SUN gold and heaviest black sand are left. Using this process as SUN a metaphor we have been using this weekend to explore the SUN recording of individual spiritual journeys. A number of SUN interesting questions have arisen. In terms of experiences, SUN how do we differentiate between genuine and false gold? Are SUN some gifts from God, the unsigned ones in SUN particular,??difficult to recognise as real treasure? How SUN much of our precious metal has kept its sparkle over the SUN years? And in the darkest times, is it still possible to SUN detect some reassuring, tiny specks of gold? Our service SUN this morning picks up and explores some of these themes. SUN SUN SUN SUN SUN Bridget SUN : introduces ‘Glimpses of Heaven’ SUN SUN SUN Music: CELESTE – Be still for the presence of the Lord SUN SUN SUN Phil SUN : Many thanks to Celeste, five former cathedral choristers SUN who came together as a singing group two (?) years ago and SUN have joined us this morning. SUN SUN We’ve chosen two very different readings today to show that SUN the true gold of God comes in varied and sometimes quite SUN alarming forms. In Matthew’s Gospel we hear how Mary, the SUN mother of Jesus, received a message from Simeon about her SUN little son and his future that must have been very hard to SUN hear. But they were true words from God. Genuine and SUN valuable. SUN SUN SUN Steph SUN : Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was SUN righteous and devout.He was waiting for the consolation of SUN Israeland the Holy Spirit was on him.It had been revealed to SUN him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had SUN seen the Lord’s Messiah.Moved by the Spirit, he went into SUN the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child SUN Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, SUN Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying: SUN SUN "Sovereign Lord, as you have promised, SUN you may now dismiss your servant in peace. SUN For my eyes have seen your salvation, SUN which you have prepared in the sight of all nations: SUN a light for revelation to the Gentiles, SUN and the glory of your people Israel." SUN SUN The child’s father and mother marvelled at what was said SUN about him.Then Simeon blessed them and said to Mary, his SUN mother:"This child is destined to cause the falling and SUN rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be SUN spoken against, SUN so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed. And a SUN sword will pierce your own soul too." SUN Adrian: SUN It was always going to be tough for Mary. She must have SUN known that from the very beginning. When she was still a SUN teenager an angel turned up and announced to her, ‘Mary, you SUN are greatly blessed,’ and immediately, the Bible says, ‘she SUN was deeply troubled.’ So there we are. Greatly blessed and SUN deeply troubled. The ongoing pattern for Mary, and for just SUN about every other serious follower of Jesus who has ever SUN lived. It was ever thus, and it will ever be so. And to SUN anyone listening who is continually blessed and never SUN troubled, can I just say, ‘Congratulations - please stay SUN away from me.’ SUN SUN So, here is Mary now, in the temple, carrying her little SUN darling in her arms, and, as usual, the news from God, via SUN the prophet Simeon this time, is sounding extravagantly SUN good, and bewilderingly negative. Apparently, this tiny SUN person is going to be a light for revelation to the SUN Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel. You don’t get SUN career guidance like that nowadays. Fantastic! Bring it on! SUN SUN SUN SUN The other side of the prophetic coin? Oh, dear. Not so good. SUN He’s going to cause the falling and rising of many, he’ll be SUN a sign that will be spoken against, and a sword will pierce SUN his mother’s heart. What! He’s just a little boy. Is he SUN really going to cause all that havoc? And his poor mum! A SUN sword. Heavy stuff. Where are we going to find the gold in SUN that lot? SUN SUN The answer, of course, is that the whole thing is pure gold. SUN Simeon’s prophecy is a timely reminder to nervous, SUN comfortable western Christianity that coaxing people into SUN believing that suffering, and tough obedience, and a serious SUN determination to think right outside the religious box are SUN not necessary components of Christian living, is a very bad SUN idea indeed. SUN SUN Every genuine communication from God, welcome or otherwise, SUN has precisely the same value. We might be lucky, of course. SUN The spectrum of the will of God definitely begins with a gin SUN and tonic in the bath, but it ends with martyrdom. God being SUN God, we might even be allowed a gin and tonic just before we SUN set out for our martyrdom. But this is serious stuff, if SUN that is, we really do want to follow Jesus. Everything - SUN every single thing on that spectrum, nice or nasty, is SUN completely acceptable to God, as long as we accept and are SUN obedient to whatever it is he wants us to do. Wonderful. SUN Scary. Valuable beyond measure. Pure gold. SUN SUN SUN Hymn: SUN Blessed be your name SUN SUN Phil SUN : Mary stored these things in her heart, a heart that was to SUN be pierced, just as Simeon had predicted. But she was also SUN to learn the staggering truth that her obedience was part of SUN God’s plan to save the world. In the second reading, brought SUN to us by Bishop Chris Edmondson, Chair of our Trustees, SUN we’re told, through the parable of the Prodigal Son, that, SUN because of Jesus, there are golden experiences promised by SUN God to those who return home to him. SUN SUN SUN Bishop Chris: SUN When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my SUN father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am SUN starving to death! SUN I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: SUN Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.I am no SUN longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of SUN your hired servants.’ SUN So he got up and went to his father. SUN SUN But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him SUN and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, SUN threw his arms around him and kissed him. SUN SUN The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven SUN and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your SUN son.’ SUN SUN But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best SUN robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals SUN on his feet. Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have SUN a feast and celebrate.For this son of mine was dead and is SUN alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to SUN celebrate. SUN Music: CELESTE – Abba, Father SUN Adrian SUN : Familiar Bible passages can be like pictures on our SUN sitting room wall that become almost invisible because they SUN are part of the background of our lives. Then a visitor SUN says, ‘Ooh, I love your picture!’ and suddenly we remember SUN why we bought it in the first place. SUN SUN The Prodigal Son story illustrates God’s promise of a SUN twenty-four carat golden experience offered to all who make SUN the journey home to a Father who passionately loves them. SUN That’s what the story is about. We know that. But perhaps it SUN has been, as it were, ‘hanging on the wall’ for rather a SUN long time. SUN SUN It’s become fashionable to look at this tale from the point SUN of view of just about everybody except the two central SUN characters. The elder brother, the servants who worked in SUN the Father’s house, a fly who happened to be sunbathing on a SUN wall of the house when the younger son returned, and, of SUN course, the fatted calf, the only one with anything to SUN really complain about. Some even crossly claim that this SUN story should actually be known as ‘The parable of the failed SUN father’. SUN SUN I guess Jesus might say, ‘Look, it’s a parable - right? It’s SUN not a modern psychological novel or an episode of SUN Eastenders. It’s a parable about God being really, really SUN excited about the people he loves coming home. Right? A SUN parable! Got it?’ SUN SUN Okay, so if we do get back to the heart of this iconic SUN story, here’s a question. Why do many Christians speak so SUN sadly about not knowing the love of God in their lives. SUN Where’s the ring? Where’s the cloak? Where’s the fatted SUN calf? Where’s the party? The answer? Well, a string of SUN useless platitudes are available if you want to use them. SUN The trouble is, they don’t work. SUN SUN I’d like to say just two things. First, I truly believe that SUN this golden experience is available for everyone. Secondly, SUN I know that many, many of us prodigals have been, as it SUN were, ambushed on our way home to the Father, finding SUN ourselves trapped in what we might call ‘Mime churches’, and SUN it can happen in any denomination or style of churchmanship. SUN The ring, the cloak, the party, all of these things happen SUN in a metaphorical or ceremonial sense, but in our heart of SUN hearts we know that they are without substance. Glittering SUN falsehood. My advice? Move along up the road. Take a bit of SUN a risk. Tell the Father you’re on your way. Get excited. Go SUN for gold. SUN Hymn: How deep the Father’s love SUN SUN SUN Phil: Speaking to God is at the very heart of everything we SUN do here. I’d like to invite three members of our Community SUN gathered from all over the world to pray for us now. After SUN that we shall be joining together in the Lord’s Prayer SUN Community Prayers – 3 biddings The Lord’s Prayer (in SUN different languages) Our Father, who art in heaven….. SUN SUN SUN SUN SUN Music: CELESTE – Be thou my vision SUN SUN SUN Adrian: SUN This morning we’ve been panning for gold, searching for SUN shining flecks of evidence that God is present in our lives. SUN Bridget: SUN We’ve learned that the precious metal of God’s love does not SUN necessarily come to us in a form that is easily SUN recognisable. Light and shade are both important aspects of SUN the Christian walk, and we need to accept and understand the SUN value of anything that God asks us to do. SUN Adrian: SUN We need to be wary of false gold, hollow religion that SUN mimics the truth and leaves us without hope. Only the real SUN thing will do. SUN Bridget: SUN The purest and most precious gift from our heavenly Father SUN is his invitation to be with him forever, a gift that has SUN been made possible by the death and resurrection of Jesus. SUN This is the greatest treasure of all. SUN SUN SUN Music: ANNA SUN - SUN Never forget the love of Jesus SUN SUN SUN Phil: SUN Thanks so much to Anna Weister Andersson, a member of our SUN community.?? When visitors leave Scargill we like to send SUN them on their way with a blessing that is important to all SUN who love this place taken from the Northumbria rhythm of SUN prayer. We would like to offer that blessing now to each SUN other, to our visitors, and of course to our listeners. SUN Community Blessing: SUN May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you wherever he may SUN send you. May he guide you through the wilderness, protect SUN you through the storm, may he bring you home rejoicing at SUN the wonders he has shown you. SUN SUN May he bring you home rejoicing once again into our doors.

SUN SUN 13:30 A Good Man in Rwanda b045741x (Listen) SUN On 7 April 1994, Mbaye Diagne, a Senegalese captain working SUN with the UN's peacekeeping mission in Kigali, helped save SUN the lives of five children. They were the children of SUN Rwanda's moderate Hutu Prime Minister, Agathe SUN Uwilingiyimana, who had just been murdered by Hutu SUN extremists. SUN Mbaye Diagne was to carry out many further acts of heroism SUN during the genocide, which claimed the lives of well over SUN half a million people, mainly ethnic Tutsis. Most were SUN bludgeoned and hacked to death with clubs and machetes at SUN the behest of the Hutu government which had just taken SUN power. SUN Mark Doyle travels to Rwanda, Senegal and Canada to meet the SUN people who knew Mbaye Diagne. He meets the man who commanded SUN the UN peacekeeping force, General Romeo Dallaire. He meets SUN Diagne's wife and one of his closest comrades in arms. And, SUN he meets the people whose lives he saved, some of whom have SUN never told their stories before. SUN "I saw evil in Rwanda in 1994" says Mark Doyle, "but I also SUN saw extraordinary acts of courage by people who simply knew SUN what was right and what was wrong. Mbaye Diagne was just SUN such a person - a good man in Rwanda". SUN SUN 14:00 Gardeners' Question Time b044jh6z (Listen) SUN Whitehaven, Cumbria SUN SUN Eric Robson hosts the horticultural panel programme from the SUN Whitehaven Festival, Cumbria. Bob Flowerdew, Bunny Guinness SUN and Christine Walkden answer questions from the audience. SUN SUN Produced by Howard Shannon SUN Assistant Producer: Darby Dorras SUN A Somethin' Else Production for BBC Radio 4 SUN SUN This week's questions and answers: SUN SUN Q: Are Brandling worms doing any damage to my garden? SUN SUN A: No. They are fantastically good for your garden! They SUN digest leaf-litter and increase the fertility of the soil. SUN SUN Q: What would the panel suggest for a small, north-facing SUN garden measuring 7 meters by 5 meters? I am looking for all SUN year round colour. SUN SUN A: A Canna iridiflora would do well. You could also try SUN planting flowering annuals in tall containers. SUN SUN Q: When and how should I take cuttings from my Clematis? SUN SUN A: Start taking cuttings in June and keep on trying until SUN September. Try slitting the cutting and scraping the bark SUN off as this will encourage root growth. You could also try SUN to train one of the plant's young shoots through the hole in SUN a plastic pot, damage the bark, then fill the pot with SUN compost, use a couple of clothes pegs to hold it in place SUN and then when it has rooted cut it off and take it away to SUN plant. SUN SUN Q: I have two different species of espalier apple trees, SUN planted six or seven years ago against a northwest-facing SUN wall. One produces loads of fruit, but there is no plant SUN growth, the other grows prolifically but does not fruit. How SUN can I persuade them to share their talents more equally? SUN SUN A: Espalier apple trees should remain fairly small and SUN produce a lot of fruit. The depth that the trees were SUN planted and the amount of moisture they receive would affect SUN the growth rate. Bramley apple trees are known to grow more SUN vigorously than any other apple variety. Make sure you prune SUN back hard in October and give the tree that is growing a SUN good amount of potash (combined with wood ash) and this will SUN encourage the tree to flower. The smaller tree may also be SUN on a very small dwarfing rootstock, and this might be what SUN is inhibiting the growth. You could also try a summer prune SUN in July and this will encourage more flower buds. You could SUN try moving the trees to a sunnier wall. SUN SUN Q: What adverse affects will a mild winter and an early SUN spring have had on the garden this year? SUN SUN A: With such a year, there might be a risk that certain SUN plants haven't gone dormant in the winter and with therefore SUN not return with a bang in spring. This means there will be SUN fewer flowers in the spring and less fruit throughout the SUN summer. In eastern areas, it has been very dry, making SUN germination difficult. But on the plus side, plants such as SUN crocuses really thrived because of the mild winter. SUN SUN Q: What could I grow up a wire-mesh fence that would be SUN hardy enough to withstand the sea winds and produce a good SUN display of flowers? SUN SUN A: Nasturtiums give fantastic colour, and in poor soil, they SUN produce more flowers. Grisilineas, Osmanthus and Escallonias SUN would resist the salt spray. Clematis Alpina, Clematis SUN orientalis or Clematis Tangutica would also survive. SUN SUN Q: My neighbours' old Oak tree hangs over my garden. A black SUN substance has dripped onto my plants, so I have had to move SUN them. What has produced this black substance and what can I SUN do? SUN SUN A: Over 350 species of insects are thought to live on Oaks SUN and it is one of these species producing the black SUN droppings. These droppings can encourage fungal growth, SUN which is not good for your plants. You could take a powerful SUN jet of water to wash off the droppings to prevent long-term SUN damage. SUN SUN Q: My Peonies are in bud, but they are black and don't look SUN as if they are going to open. What has happened? SUN SUN A: The outer scale leaves have become saturated with water SUN and have prevented the buds from developing properly. Your SUN best bet is to cut off all the buds like this (saving the SUN plant the energy it would have put into flower growth) and SUN wait for next year when they should produce a lot of SUN flowers. SUN SUN Q: I was given a Fig stem planted in used coffee grounds. SUN What are the uses of coffee grounds in the garden and how SUN can I get my fig to flower and fruit? SUN SUN A: Used coffee grounds are used as slug repellent. The Fig SUN will never flower, as the plant is pollinated in a rather SUN unusual way. However, the plant will produce a seedless SUN fruit if you restrict the root growth by planting it in a SUN pot and then put it in the sunniest spot in the garden.

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.

Every conversation - they're SUN not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - SUN lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key SUN moment of connection between the participants. Most of the SUN unedited conversations are being archived by the British SUN Library and used to build up a collection of voices SUN capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade SUN of the millennium. You can upload your own conversations or SUN just learn more about The Listening Project by visiting SUN bbc.co.uk/listeningproject SUN SUN Producer: Marya Burgess.

MON MON Episode One MON Edith, Aylmer and Bruce, in this infernal, triangular MON charade seem as helpless and doomed as they ever were. MON Edith's scheme of shuttling between Aylmer (the love of her MON life) and Bruce (her hopeless former husband) collapses. MON What, Edith wonders, is to be done? ... MON MON Produced and Directed by Tracey Neale MON MON The Story: MON MON The ingenious but entirely unsatisfactory man-sharing MON operation breaks down on account of fractiousness between MON Bruce and Aymler, and Bruce's absurd and intrusive attempts MON to keep Edith under close observation. Edith disappears, she MON needs to find new energy and courage to deal with the MON Aylmer-Bruce dilemma. MON MON Aylmer (with Vincy in tow) and Bruce (accompanied by Madame MON Frabelle, who thoroughly enjoys the drama of the occasion) MON conduct a search to no avail. Bruce experiences further MON anxiety when he is informed that he may be eligible for MON active military service. Despite his neurotic heart, Bruce MON passes the medical examination with flying colours. MON MON Aylmer discovers Edith's location. She is staying at the MON senior Ottley home. The senior Ottleys seem to show more MON affection to Edith than their own son. This doesn't seem at MON all surprising to Aylmer and he looks forward to secret MON assignations with Edith. But when he hears about Bruce's MON call up he realises that he must tell Edith and so she comes MON out of hiding. MON MON Madame Frabelle is no comfort to Bruce because she has MON become high Anglican (the smell of incense replaces that of MON her customary lavender water) and developed a friendship MON with a married clergyman, Byrne Fraser, who has appeared to MON have lost his faith. Bruce tries to find comfort in religion MON but his faith is sorely tested when he discovers more about MON the doubting Vicar. MON MON Though he is entranced by the image of Bruce under heavy MON fire, Aymler - with some reluctance - agrees to Edith's MON request that he seek some desk-bound "work of national MON importance" for Bruce. But Bruce, it appears, has misread MON his call up letter and it's too late. He's sent off to war. MON It is bitter-sweet for Edith but Bruce being Bruce always MON has a surprise up his sleeve. MON MON The Writer: MON MON Martyn Wade's recent credits for radio aside from five MON series of The Little Ottleys, are two composer plays - MON Moeran's Last Symphony and The Healing of Sergei Rachmaninov MON and Singles and Doublets.

MON MON From there, he goes back in history to discuss 'navalism' at MON the start of the twentieth century. The Navy in the decade MON before the First World War was vast, a truly globalised MON organisation, defending British interests around the world. MON At home it was the bulwark against invasion and had such a MON powerful hold on the British imagination that images of MON sailors - of Jack Tar - sold everything from cigarettes to MON postcards. MON MON And it was a powerful political force too, with crowds MON following naval developments closely and, when the pace of MON warship production seemed to be slackening, demanding more. MON This was an era when political meetings were interrupted MON with chants of 'Dreadnought! Dreadnought! Dreadnought!' MON MON But for all its size and strength, the Royal Navy at the MON dawn of the twentieth century had rot at its core - social MON stagnation and a rules-based mentality were stifling the MON fighting spirit that had characterised Nelson's navy.

Alvin Hall reveals the MON story of the shipping magnate who made a huge cultural MON impact in Glasgow, yet remains himself a shadowy figure, a MON 'Victorian magpie' eclipsed by the splendour of his MON collection. MON MON Burrell amassed the most outstanding range of Degas' works MON anywhere in Europe; a huge range of Chinese and Islamic Art; MON plus tapestries and sculptures to rival the collections of MON the world's top museums. 70 years ago, he stipulated in his MON bequest that the collection should never be loaned overseas. MON Debate is currently raging over whether this highly unusual MON collection should be allowed to travel to other museums and MON galleries around the world. MON MON The imposing Pollock House sits in parkland 3 miles from MON Glasgow. Here again, the terms of Burrell's request were MON challenged. He insisted that the collection shouldn't be MON located within 14 miles of Glasgow, concerned about the MON effects of air pollution on the exhibits. After his death, MON this was overturned when the Pollock site became available - MON the conclusion being that air pollution is less of a factor MON nowadays. A similar argument is being used in the current MON debate, with air travel and cutting edge techniques for the MON transportation of art minimising the risks. MON MON This raises interesting legal questions - and also provides MON a peg to dig deeper into the little-known life of the man MON behind the collection, and the fine art of transporting art. MON Financier and art collector, Alvin Hall visits Glasgow's MON much-loved Burrell Museum in Pollok Park and, by tracing the MON journey of the objects of the collection, gains an insight MON into the character of an extraordinary man, who helped MON transform the fortunes of the city where he'd amassed his MON own fortune. MON MON 16:30 Beyond Belief b0457z34 (Listen) MON Last Rites MON MON Ernie Rea and guests discuss Last Rites in some of the MON world's major faiths.

A new era of transparency where MON surgeons would publish their results- and patients would be MON told when things went wrong. MON MON At the time Sir Ian Kennedy who headed the enquiry MON recommended a statutory duty of candour be put into law. MON MON Now, following the £13million inquiry into poor care at Mid MON Staffordshire Hospital, the Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt MON finally decided to act - and introduce just such a statutory MON measure together with the Care Bill, which proposes to make MON it a criminal offence for the NHS to act unprofessionally MON and unethically. MON In this programme BBC Health Correspondent Matthew Hill asks MON just how candid can we expect the newly reformed NHS to be MON when things go wrong. Is such a proposition workable MON considering the many new players in the system, such as the MON private companies and social enterprises used to operating MON far more under the cloak of commercial secrecy than in the MON open world of public scrutiny. MON MON Matthew Hill also looks at who is responsible for getting MON the message to us - the role and accountability of public MON relations staff. MON One in six press officers in a survey of 81 trusts carried MON out by the University of Coventry said they had been asked MON to act unethically in their dealings with journalists. MON MON Can Jeremy Hunt's duty of candour in the NHS have a chance MON of becoming a reality? Given the size and organisational MON complexity of the NHS how can openess be ensured ? MON MON In his 20th year as BBC Health Correspondent in the West of MON England, Matthew Hill discusses these questions with a range MON of medics, managers, publicity officers and whistleblowers, MON and draws on his own dealings with press officers who handed MON him the Bristol heart scandal on a plate.

MON MON For 11 months and 3 weeks of the year all is peaceful and MON quiet, chattering birdsong in the hedgerows the only MON disturbance to a day-in-the-life of station master Paul MON Mitchell.

TUE TUE 09:00 The Life Scientific b04581j9 (Listen) TUE Professor Sir Michael Rutter TUE TUE Professor Sir Michael Rutter has been described as the most TUE illustrious and influential psychiatric scientist of his TUE generation. His international reputation has been achieved TUE despite the fact that as a young doctor, he had no intention TUE of becoming a researcher, nor interest in becoming a child TUE psychiatrist. In fact he became a world leader as both. TUE TUE His career has spanned more than five decades and is marked TUE by a remarkable body of high-impact research and landmark TUE studies. The theme running through all his work has been TUE child development, on the subtle interplay between nature TUE and nurture and on the factors that make the difference TUE between a child flourishing, or floundering. TUE TUE Evacuated during World War Two, to a Quaker family in the TUE USA, Mike Rutter tells Jim Al-Khalili about the impact this TUE move, aged seven, had on him. He describes the inspirational TUE teachers who persuaded him that research and clinical work TUE as a child and adolescent psychiatrist, was for him, and he TUE admits that an early mentor insisted he mustn't receive any TUE formal training in child psychiatry, something he hasn't TUE received to this day! TUE TUE He was awarded this country's first ever professorship in TUE child psychiatry in 1973 and he's credited with founding the TUE field of developmental psychopathology. This involves the TUE study, over time, of normal and abnormal child development. TUE He's currently Professor of Developmental Psychopathology at TUE King's College, London and still a practicing child TUE psychiatrist. TUE TUE An early breakthrough was his discovery that autism, or TUE infantile psychosis as it was then known, had a genetic TUE basis, something barely suspected at the time. TUE TUE Beautifully designed studies of populations over time TUE followed, many of them landmark studies still cited today. TUE They established the framework for studying and TUE investigating mental illness in the community. The Isle of TUE Wight Studies (1964-74) surveyed the mental health of TUE children living on the island and for the first time in such TUE research, children themselves were directly interviewed and TUE questioned. Before this, Mike Rutter tells Jim, the TUE assumption had been that what children thought and said TUE didn't really matter. TUE TUE In the 1970s, the Fifteen Thousand Hours study, delivered TUE ground-breaking evidence about the combination of factors TUE that affected the performance and behaviour of children in TUE inner city secondary schools. Findings from this study were TUE included by both the Labour and Conservative parties in TUE their 1979 election manifestos. TUE TUE "Maternal Deprivation Reassessed" was Mike Rutter's TUE challenge to John Bowlby's hugely influential theory of TUE maternal attachment. It was described as "a classic in the TUE field of childcare" and it transformed the debate about the TUE relationships that help babies to flourish. TUE TUE His fascination with the underlying reasons why and how TUE children vary in their ability to weather and cope with TUE adversity, led to the growth of resilience science. For more TUE than 40 years Mike Rutter, "the intellectual father", has TUE led this field of study. TUE TUE His name is particularly associated with "natural TUE experiments" and one of the best known is the English TUE Romanian Adoptees study that he set up in the early 1990s TUE and still runs today. The children being followed are those TUE rescued from the orphanages of Nicolai Ceausescu and adopted TUE by families in this country. Because of the appalling TUE conditions many of these babies and toddlers experienced in TUE Romanian institutions, Professor Rutter understood that TUE tracking and studying them as they grew up in loving homes TUE here, would provide important insights into how early TUE deprivation affects children's development.

What makes Cohen such an enduring TUE international figure in the cultural imagination? TUE TUE Granted extraordinary access to Cohen's personal papers, TUE Leibovitz evokes a complicated, sometimes contradictory TUE figure. Born into a Canadian religious Jewish family, for TUE years a reclusive lyricist on the Greek island of Hydra, TUE known for his bold political commentary, his devotion to TUE Buddhist thought and his later despair over contemporary TUE Zionism, Cohen hardly follows the rules of a conventional TUE rock star.

TUE TUE Sousa's neat scores and his sketch books are far more than TUE just interesting research fodder for these men who have TUE marched to Sousa's beat for a lifetime. TUE There's fascination in his working methods, many of them TUE explained by a third bandsman and member of the Library TUE staff, Loras Schissel. Sousa never wrote at the piano and TUE rarely put pen to paper before working much of his material TUE out in his head. Melody, harmony, rhythms; these were all in TUE place before he started sharing his composition. TUE And while his music is full of boisterous confidence, Sousa TUE himself was a modest figure. A violinist and son of TUE immigrant parents he always gave the impression that fortune TUE was kind to him, belying the sheer effort and labour which TUE saw him create his own touring band who were on the road for TUE the majority of the year. TUE The programme tells the story of how he came to write 'The TUE Stars and Stripes for Ever', the impact it had and Sousa's TUE place in US musical history. TUE The musical highlight is the moment that our three bandsmen, TUE imitating piccolo, trombone and cornet, perform Sousa's TUE famous trio tune (borrowed by football fans all over the TUE world) in glorious three part harmony.

TUE TUE During the early years of the twentieth century, one man TUE dominated the Royal Navy. Admiral Sir 'Jacky' Fisher TUE revitalised the Mediterranean fleet, pressed for social TUE reform and promoted the introduction of torpedoes and TUE submarines. TUE TUE And in 1904 Fisher finally achieved a lifelong ambition, TUE becoming First Sea Lord and professional head of the Royal TUE Navy. Now he was able to develop new technology even faster. TUE His crowning achievement was HMS Dreadnought, a battleship TUE so powerful that it effectively made every other warship in TUE every other navy redundant. TUE TUE With Britain's navy pre-eminent, to level the playing field TUE like this was dangerous. And it was to play a part in the TUE pre-war arms race, but Britain's victory in that arms race TUE would also make possible victory in the war which followed. TUE TUE Lord West discusses Fisher's contributions, not least to the TUE history of world oil. For it was he who persuaded a young TUE Winston Churchill to convert the Royal Navy to oil power - TUE altering the arc of history in South Wales, whose coal TUE industry went into decline; in the Middle East; and around TUE the world.

WED WED In the first programme he returns to a period when most WED people were dressed in drab dye stuffs, derived from plants, WED and painters had to work hard to source mineral pigments for WED paint. WED WED Deep in the National Gallery, he visits senior conservator WED Jill Dunkerton to discuss how she goes about restoring WED pictures from the early Renaissance. What does she WED substitute for the original lapis lazuli blue found so often WED in pictures of the Madonna? Any why was this colour so WED prized by artists of this period? WED WED Victoria Finlay has travelled the world in search of the WED sources of coloured minerals. She tells of searching for WED lapis in Afghanistan and the cochineal beetle (source for WED red dye) in Mexico. These were the exotic lands from which WED the early ingredients for pigments came. WED WED Laurence takes his explorations forward in time to the WED nineteenth century when the science of colour was becoming WED properly understood. Professor Martin Kemp explains how the WED Impressionists began to imitate the effects of light WED reflecting off coloured surfaces onto the eye. WED WED Ella Hendriks is a curator at the Van Gogh museum and she's WED in charge of preserving the colours in his paintings. She WED explains that the colours in his paintings are completely WED different to how they looked originally. WED WED One of Laurence's final contributors is Professor Anya WED Hurlbert, who researches our perceptions of colour. She's WED interested in how we explain the way our brains can identify WED colours despite dramatic differences in lighting. WED WED The programmes visit the Matisse exhibition in London, the WED Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam, and the churches of Florence. WED As Laurence discovers, colour is much more slippery and WED complicated than you might think. WED WED Producer: Susan Marling, Isabel Sutton WED A Just Radio production for BBC Radio 4.

WED WED To help his finances, Sandy, still in the family home, took WED in a young couple as lodgers. But then the man left - WED leaving the attractive Dolores behind. And she, Sandy's WED children are quite sure, is a gold-digger. Sandy's opinion WED that it would be inhuman to move Henry somewhere unfamiliar WED is wearing a bit thin - as is the old dog himself. Keeping WED the dog alive and keeping the lodger happy are one thing; WED what really concerns Sandy deeply is providing a guiding WED hand to his whole family, advising here, prompting there, WED responding to any emergency callout... If he kept himself to WED himself, of course, things would be a lot simpler and WED smoother. But a lot duller too...

WED WED The First World War represented a major change in British WED strategy towards wars on the European continent. WED Historically Britain had stood off from continental WED conflicts, funding armies there but otherwise letting the WED Royal Navy exert its power at sea. WED WED But now with British and imperial armies fighting across WED Europe, the Royal Navy was reduced to transporting troops, WED escorting convoys and, with the exception of some small WED victories mopping up German commerce raiders around the WED world, an inglorious policy of distant blockade. WED WED While the Grand Fleet was kept in Scapa Flow in the Orkney WED Islands, the only real attempt to fundamentally alter the WED balance of power was opposed by many in the Navy, went down WED in history as a catastrophic failure, and remains to this WED day one of the war's great 'what ifs'.

THU Presented by Kate Adie. THU THU 11:30 Body and Soul: The Oscar Micheaux Story b045c0hk (Listen) THU Oscar Micheaux was a visionary and revolutionary force as a THU filmmaker, entrepreneur and novelist, and undeniably black THU America's first multimedia champion. THU THU During the first half of the 20th century he wrote, produced THU and directed 40 feature-length films in every genre THU including musicals, Westerns, romances, comedies and THU gangster stories. THU THU In this programme Professor Ed Guerrero meets with Director THU Pearl Bowser, Emmy winning producer Sam Pollard and writer THU Clyde Taylor to explore Micheaux's unique place in black THU cinema's cultural, political and aesthetic history. THU THU Micheaux considered himself a cinematic propagandist, and THU his productions an antidote to the ghastly images Hollywood THU presented with black people consigned to roles depicting THU them exclusively as servants, sexually crazed hoods or lazy THU tramps. As we'll discover he was a complex, driven figure THU whose ambition sometimes clouded his judgment, and whose THU objectives were so epic he was fated to fail in a society THU that, during his lifetime neither acknowledged his greatness THU nor respected his achievements. He was the first THU African-American to produce and direct a full-length talking THU film, in 1931. THU THU His work has recently been acknowledged by New York THU percussionist William Hooker who has composed and performed THU fresh soundtracks to a selection of Micheaux's early films THU and introduces these to a new audience. His story has THU influenced young film maker Lisa Collins, currently working THU on a project asking why a predominantly 'white town' in THU South Dakota celebrates Micheaux's life with an annual film THU festival. THU THU Micheaux has influenced other black film directors such as THU Spike Lee and was honoured with a Director's Guild Award in THU 1986. A year later he was given a star on Hollywood THU Boulevard. THU THU 12:00 You and Yours b045c0hm (Listen) THU Consumer news. THU THU 12:57 Weather b0456xrt (Listen) THU The latest weather forecast.

THU THU 13:45 Britain at Sea b045c0hr (Listen) THU The Navy Wins THU THU Lord West looks at how the Royal Navy won the First World THU War. THU THU The Royal Navy's role in winning the conflict has often been THU overlooked - drowned out by the new and savage reality of THU industrial warfare on the western front, and the tragic THU romance of the imagery and war poetry which surrounded it. THU THU Yet the Navy's role should not be underestimated, and in THU this programme Lord West looks at the greatest naval battle THU of the war - Jutland - and its dramatic impact on the war. THU THU Jutland was a great strategic victory for the Royal Navy, THU but largely because of truly terrible PR afterwards, many to THU this day regard it as a defeat. It was part of the reason THU for the growing disconnect between the nation and its navy. THU THU Yet the outcome of Jutland influenced more than just public THU sentiment. It forced the German military to confront the THU reality of their situation: that the Royal Navy's blockade THU could not be broken by their own fleet, and would in time THU strangle Germany into submission. THU THU The result was unrestricted submarine warfare: Germany's THU only chance of victory, but itself carrying the risk of THU bringing the United States of America into the war on the THU Allied side. THU THU When the United States did join the war, troops poured into THU Europe, but the most significant impact was on that three THU year old blockade, tightening it to a point that strangled THU Germany and won the war for the Allies.

THU THU A body has been found buried in an Irish peat bog.

THU THU She fought having these metal-hips for a long time, fearful THU that she would lose fitness and mobility.

Simon Evans has the answer in this new series THU which asks us to get involved in investment. THU THU Rather than being cowed by an apparently complicated and THU overwhelming system, Simon jumps right in. He takes as his THU focus four commodities which are so intrinsic to our lives THU they have an almost elemental significance - land, gold, oil THU and grain. Yet, despite the fact we encounter them THU everywhere we look, very few people have been able to build THU a fortune on them. THU THU All that's about to change as, Simon enlists help from the THU experts. Each week he will be joined by Tim Harford, Merryn THU Somerset Webb and a guest specialist as they examine the THU chequered social and economic histories of these THU commodities. By looking at four such fundamental products, THU Simon brings us to a closer understanding of how global THU economic forces have a far-reaching and often surprising THU impact on our lives.

What makes Cohen such an enduring FRI international figure in the cultural imagination? FRI FRI Granted extraordinary access to Cohen's personal papers, FRI Leibovitz evokes a complicated, sometimes contradictory FRI figure. Born into a Canadian religious Jewish family, for FRI years a reclusive lyricist on the Greek island of Hydra, FRI known for his bold political commentary, his devotion to FRI Buddhist thought and his later despair over contemporary FRI Zionism, Cohen hardly follows the rules of a conventional FRI rock star. FRI FRI An intimate look at a man who, despite battles with stage FRI fright and years spent in hermit-like isolation, is still FRI touring and now seems to be reaching a new peak of FRI popularity. FRI FRI In the final episode, Cohen begins the 1990s as a hugely FRI successful songwriter, poet and performer. Yet spiritual FRI crises still plague him, and he retreats to the San Gabriel FRI Mountains to spend time with his guru. By 2006, he's forced FRI to start touring again when evidence emerges that a FRI long-time employee and friend may have stolen millions of FRI dollars from him.

FRI FRI Paddy's father died when he was eleven. When he started FRI looking for his history, he tracked down several men who had FRI fought with him during the war. FRI FRI 47 Royal Marine Commando was one unit among 156000 troops FRI landing at Normandy on D Day. Their plan failed at once. FRI They were tipped into the sea, losing all their kit, and FRI were forced to continue with weapons seized from the enemy. FRI Enduring a twelve mile march, they succeeded against the FRI odds in their mission to capture a fishing port. FRI FRI It was only in the 1980s as they started to retire that the FRI men from 47 Royal Commando began going back to Normandy. FRI Annual commemorations at the cemeteries are only part of the FRI reason. For these men, now aged around 90, living life to FRI the full is the best remembrance. The men who died as FRI teenagers gave up their youth and their future so that life FRI could be lived and enjoyed. FRI FRI Paddy has shared significant time with them over the last FRI five years; at memorial services in Normandy, at social FRI events and dances with their families. In this programme we FRI listen to those conversations and we hear what Paddy has FRI learnt about remembrance and how he's changed his mind about FRI what it means.

FRI FRI The First World War left Britain reeling, economically FRI devastated and with massive social dislocation and a FRI generation scarred, both physically and psychologically, by FRI the conflict. The country was on the back foot, and the FRI Royal Navy was, too. FRI FRI The Navy's formidable new capability - its air arm - was FRI taken away and handed to the newly-formed RAF. Constant FRI raids by the Treasury were initially rebuffed, but FRI eventually took their toll. And a perception grew up that FRI the pre-war arms race had caused the war, and that the Navy FRI had caused the arms race, and there was little outrage when FRI the size of the navy was fixed. FRI But alongside these battles in Whitehall, in international FRI negotiations, and for the hearts and minds of the British FRI public, the Navy also had a proper war to fight. FRI FRI For almost a year after the end of the First World War, the FRI Navy - together with other British and allied troops - FRI fought a war in Russia against the 'Red Army' of the nascent FRI Soviet Union. Largely forgotten today because the exhausted FRI troops were eventually withdrawn, the war nevertheless gave FRI Estonia its first taste of independence. FRI FRI Producer: Giles Edwards.
