SAT SAT 00:30 Book of the Week b04807hb (Listen) SAT Last Days of the Bus Club, The Rain in Spain: Part 2 SAT SAT The eponymous Bus Club is the author's term for the three SAT fathers, of which he is one, who meet each morning when they SAT drop their children at the school bus stop. Chris Stewart's SAT daughter Chloe is in her final year at school and times will SAT soon be changing for the author. SAT SAT In his latest memoir, Chris once again taps into the rich SAT seam of story-telling in the Alpujarras Hills, and brings us SAT tales that are, by turns, warm, funny and moving. SAT SAT Chris Stewart had a brief flirtation with fame as the SAT drummer in Genesis. But he was, by his own admission, not a SAT very good drummer. After college, he embarked on a SAT peripatetic career that saw him travelling across Europe in SAT a converted ambulance, and playing drums in a circus, before SAT becoming a sheep farmer in deepest Sussex. SAT SAT In the early days of the Rough Guides, he persuaded the SAT originator and publisher of the series, Mark Ellingham, to SAT let him write the guide to China, and so began his career as SAT a writer. SAT SAT Over 20 years ago, Chris and his wife Ana settled in the SAT Alpujarras region of Andalucia, buying their own farm. Their SAT experiences in the remote region formed the basis of his SAT first memoir in 1999, 'Driving Over Lemons', which became an SAT international best-seller.

Travelling at a somewhat slower pace than the Yellow SAT Jerseys, she soaks up some of the history of this beauty SAT spot in 'God's Own County'. SAT SAT The first stop is to Aysgarth Falls, a cascading flight of SAT tumbling waterfalls carved out by the River Ure. National SAT Parks Ranger Cathy Bergs tells us about the geology of the SAT 'triple falls' and some of the many creatures which call it SAT home, and lets us in on the frantic preparations being made SAT for the coming onslaught of people for the Tour de France. SAT SAT From there, it's 'on yer bike!' with Gia Margolis and the SAT Wheel Easy cycling club - "a club for those who don't wear SAT lycra", for a trip to the infamous Buttertubs Pass. One of SAT the toughest climbs on the UK legs of the Tour route, Gia SAT explains what makes it such a haven for cyclists and tries SAT to convince Helen that the impossible climb is worth it! SAT SAT At the top, Helen peers into the 20 metre deep limestone SAT potholes which dot the countryside - the 'Buttertubs' SAT themselves. Historic Environment Officer Robert White helps SAT us separate fact from fiction, and tells us about the SAT history of lead mining in the area. SAT SAT But while the mining industry might be consigned to history, SAT the mines themselves are not! Our final stop is at Hard SAT Level Gill Mine, where we meet local heroes Pete Roe and SAT Tony Harrison. They are part of a caving group who delve SAT beneath the Dales to explore the ancient mine-shafts, SAT mapping them and repairing them.

SAT SAT Wayne Ingram was a British soldier in Bosnia in 2003, when SAT he met Stefan Savic, a four year old boy with a SAT life-threatening facial cleft.

Perhaps it's not surprising that in the posthumous SAT rush to acknowledge his genius, memories have been clouded SAT or, retrospectively, given a silver lining. SAT SAT The quiet, uncertain foundations of his reputation were laid SAT on a solo tour of Europe three years earlier, in March 1994 SAT - and, in particular, during one day. On the 18th March, SAT Buckley was scheduled for a photo shoot (with Kevin SAT Westenberg), an appearance on BBC GLR and his first proper SAT London concert, at a folk club called Bunjies. SAT SAT In 'The Grace of Jeff Buckley', those who were there speak SAT for the first time about the man and his music: Buckley's SAT American manager Dave Lory, his UK tour manager Steve SAT Abbott, booking agent Emma Banks and photographer Kevin SAT Westenberg share intimate memories that have so far not SAT featured in the Buckley biography. SAT SAT And the programme also includes rare archive: the GLR radio SAT session that has not been heard since that live broadcast in SAT 1994 - including an astonishing version of 'Grace' - and, SAT exclusively, a private interview that Buckley recorded on SAT the eve of this tour but decided not to release. SAT SAT Together, these glimpses offer a portrait of a young man SAT whose voice and musicianship, as well as his irresistible SAT charisma and the trauma of his early death, touched SAT millions.

SAT SAT 14:30 Classic Serial b01jgb92 (Listen) SAT Publish and Be Damn'd: The Memoirs of Harriette Wilson, SAT Episode 1 SAT SAT Adapted by Ellen Dryden. SAT SAT Nancy Carroll stars as Harriette Wilson, one of the most SAT infamous and talked-about women of the early 19th century. SAT Her lovers included aristocrats, adventurers and even the SAT Duke of Wellington himself. And when they all ceased to SAT support her after her retirement, she had a simple bargain SAT for them - 'pay up, and I'll keep you out of my memoirs'. SAT SAT A scandalous bestseller of their time, her memoirs reveal a SAT sharp-witted, good-hearted, infinitely adaptable, madcap SAT woman who took on the patriarchy of the time and did SAT something close to beating them at their own game. SAT SAT Harriette's exciting, secretive, unpredictable world is SAT brought vividly to life in Ellen Dryden's radio SAT dramatization of the book which set the whole country SAT gossiping about the behaviour of the men who ran it, and the SAT women they loved. SAT SAT In the first episode, Harriette escapes from the SAT stultifyingly boring household of her first aristocratic SAT protector in favour of a more exciting, younger lover. But SAT will he be able to keep her in the style to which she has SAT become accustomed? SAT SAT We also meet Harriette's friends and rivals such as the SAT mysterious Julia, her saintly sister Fanny, and her satanic SAT sister Amy.

SAT SAT The Star-Spangled Banner is embedded in American national SAT identity and yet it only became the official national anthem SAT in 1931. Erica returns to its origins, almost exactly two SAT centuries ago at the Battle of Baltimore in 1814, a decisive SAT moment in the Second War of American Independence, to find SAT out how Francis Scott Key came to write these lyrics about SAT the American flag. She speaks to the acclaimed American poet SAT Mary Jo Salter about the merit of the lyrics, and to the SAT musicologist David Hildebrand about how the music changed SAT over time to become the anthem we know today. SAT SAT Central to the appeal of The Star-Spangled Banner is the SAT reverence - what some term the religiosity - which the SAT United States has for its flag. Through insights from Annin SAT Flagmakers, the oldest surviving flagmaking company founded SAT in 1847, and Marc Leepson, author of biographies of both SAT Francis Scott Key and the American flag, Erica unpicks this SAT unique relationship - something she is always aware of SAT whenever she returns to the United States - and examines the SAT positive and negative responses to the anthem.

SAT SAT 22:15 Moral Maze b047zrl7 (Listen) SAT Freedom of Expression SAT SAT In Germany an angst-ridden debate has started on the future SAT of Hitler's Mein Kampf. Copyright of the book has been held SAT by the Bavarian state government which has blocked SAT publication in Germany. In 2015 the copyright expires and SAT ministers are now considering whether to ban it all SAT together. The president of Germany's Central Council of Jews SAT says Mein Kampf is a work of irrational hatred that should SAT be forbidden for everyone. When is an opinion, a lecture, a SAT sermon, or a book so abhorrent that it should forever more SAT be banned? It's a question that's increasingly being asked SAT in the UK as more cases come to light of extremist Muslim SAT preachers radicalising young men. Freedom of speech SAT advocates argue bans don't defeat the arguments they just SAT drive them underground where they flourish unchallenged. SAT Public debate and security, they argue, is the best form of SAT defence. But do the normal rules of political discourse SAT apply when it comes to those who preach sedition? Doesn't SAT the state have a right and a duty to protect its citizens SAT against the propagation of such threats? What rules should SAT we apply to make these judgements and who has the moral SAT authority to make those decisions? Is it only the scale and SAT imminence of the threat? Should you make exceptions for a SAT book like Mein Kampf on the grounds that it's now more of an SAT historical curiosity than anything else? Does the cultural SAT context make a difference? Would it make logical and moral SAT sense for the German's to ban the publication of Mein Kampf SAT because of its unique history in that country - even if it SAT was easily available elsewhere? Does the moral value of such SAT a ban vary with the passage of time, the crossing of borders SAT and changes of cultures? Or can we divine some moral SAT absolutes in the debate on freedom of speech? Presented by SAT Michael Buerk.

The papers were found SAT by an engineer who saved them from the skip and took them SAT home to read. Fascinated by the story they revealed, he SAT donated them to the Sheffield Archive. SAT SAT Ian McMillan looks through the dust covered pages that still SAT , he says, give off a faint whiff of raincoat. The letters SAT document the friendship between the shop owner and an SAT uneducated man who were brought together by a love of words SAT and writing. Ian says, 'It's an extraordinary tale of SAT friendship, and what is left behind.' SAT SAT He talks to John Gregory who devoted his lunchtimes to going SAT through the derelict shop gathering together the pages SAT before they were put in a skip, and to Tim Knebel, the SAT archivist who has created order out of the scattered pages. SAT SAT Ian also talks to historian Helen Smith about the uniqueness SAT of Sheffield during the early years of the 1900s, when SAT uneducated steelworkers yearned to better themselves by SAT learning about philosophy and poetry. SAT SAT Finally, Ian contributes to the amount of words generated by SAT the two men by composing his own work based n the daily SAT takings recorded in the cash book of the raincoat shop.

SUN SUN In human terms, migration brings the chance for a new start, SUN the prospect of wealth and a better way of life - but is SUN frequently associated with pain, persecution and prejudice. SUN The upheaval can bring distress, but also opportunity and SUN the lure of what the poet Richard Wright described as "the SUN warmth of other suns". SUN SUN From the mournful lyricism of Psalm 137 ("By the rivers of SUN Babylon we sat and wept") which describes the yearning SUN sorrow and anger of the exiled Jews after the Babylonian SUN conquest of Jerusalem, to Dvorak's New World Symphony SUN inspired by the Czech composer's encounter with America, SUN John McCarthy considers the way writers, poets and musicians SUN have captured both the human and emotional impact of SUN migration.

SUN SUN Produced by Howard Shannon. SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN This week's questions and answers: SUN SUN Q. Why grow roses alongside grapevines? SUN SUN A. They enjoy similar conditions. Roses show disease before SUN other plants and so serve to warn gardeners to deal with SUN mildew etc. before it begins to damage the grapevines. SUN SUN Q. How should I look after my lemon tree? SUN SUN A. Use an ericaceous, well drained potting mix and add grit SUN or vermiculite. You can even buy ready-made citrus potting SUN mix if you prefer. Use a high potash fertilizer during the SUN summer, something like tomato or liquid rose feed. Choose SUN the brightest location possible as light is more important SUN than heat to a lemon tree. The Eureka variety of lemon tree SUN can be tricky to grow. Make sure the plant is in a SUN terracotta pot so it can lose moisture more effectively and SUN don't worry if the plant is pot-bound, as this will SUN encourage more flower growth. SUN SUN Q. Can the panel recommend a plant that can be used as a SUN barrier in a boggy garden? SUN SUN A. Willow will grow well as will Bog Myrtle. SUN SUN Q. I purchased an 'unusual' Hosta. It looks pot-bound and SUN has now developed brown patches on the leaves. What should I SUN do? SUN SUN A. Seeing as most of the leaves are brown, it is probably SUN best to dig it up and take it back to the supplier who SUN should refund you. You don't want the disease to spread to SUN the rest of your garden. SUN SUN Q. I'm planning to plant an olive tree in ashes, what's the SUN best way to do this -in a planter or in the ground? SUN SUN A. If you want to restrict the size of the plant, use a SUN planter but it will also grow well in the ground. Olive SUN trees are very hardy; so long as they don't get too wet they SUN will do well. Veronique and Frantoio are both good SUN varieties. SUN SUN Q. What method of slug repellent do the panel find most SUN effective? SUN SUN A. Garlic spray is a good way of repelling slugs, as is SUN copper tubing around beds and pots. Calcium spray can also SUN be used. Some find sheep's wool and pellets effective while SUN carpet paths in the garden can trap slugs well. Nematodes SUN can be used as biological control and simply removing the SUN slugs by hand can effectively reduce the slug population. SUN SUN Q. How should I maintain a perfect croquet lawn? The lawn is SUN quite acidic with a PH of 5.8. SUN SUN A. You can grow fine-leaved grasses that like acidic soils SUN and over sow to encourage dense growth. You must cut the SUN grass regularly but use a cylinder mower rather than a SUN rotary mower. Stay away from lime but feed the lawn SUN regularly with blood, fish and bone meal. You could also use SUN a roller to achieve a level surface. SUN SUN Q. If your garden were on fire, which plant would you save? SUN SUN A. Bob would save the plants he has bred himself - SUN yellow-leaved Comfrey, creeping Thyme, Cape Gooseberries SUN with an enhanced flavor. Bunny would save her Home Oaks. SUN James would save his Oxalis Deppei.

MON MON It's 1956 and Boris Pasternak presses a manuscript into the MON hands of an Italian publishing scout with these words, 'This MON is Doctor Zhivago. May it make its way around the world.' MON MON Pasternak knew his novel would never be published in the MON Soviet Union as the authorities regarded it as seditious, so MON instead he allowed it to be published in translation all MON over the world - a highly dangerous act. MON MON By 1958 the life of this extraordinary book enters the MON realms of the spy novel. The CIA, recognising that the Cold MON War was primarily an ideological battle, published Doctor MON Zhivago in Russian and smuggled it into the Soviet Union. It MON was immediately snapped up on the black market. Pasternak MON was later forced to renounce the Nobel Prize in Literature, MON igniting worldwide political scandal. MON MON With first access to previously classified CIA files, The MON Zhivago Affair gives an irresistible portrait of Pasternak, MON and takes us deep into the Cold War, back to a time when MON literature had the power to shake the world.

MON MON Broadcaster Mark Patterson has surfed for nearly 30 years, MON and is fascinated by the role the ocean is playing in MON replenishing small coastal towns like Portrush in Northern MON Ireland, and Bundoran in the Republic of Ireland. Once MON bustling seaside resorts, both have endured a long decline, MON taking a hard hit during the recession. MON MON Now they are drawing a new crowd - surfers. Many come to MON learn the basics and taste their first salt-water MON experience, while others travel from far overseas to sample MON Ireland's waves, considered by many to be world-class, on a MON par with anything found in Hawaii, Australia or California. MON MON Mark learns that a few intrepid souls began to explore MON remote waves along Ireland's coastline in the early 60's, MON sometimes dressed only in jeans and t-shirt as they braved MON the freezing waters. Now with modern wetsuits and affordable MON boards, everyone wants to learn; from 58 year old Elaine in MON Portrush, to a group of teenage girls who feel empowered by MON surfing. MON MON In Bundoran Mark meets the surfer instructor who feels the MON ocean saved his life. After losing his job at the height of MON the boom and turning to drink, a radio advert for lifeguard MON training set him on a new journey, and a new future by the MON coast. In Portrush Mark meets a 6 time Irish champion who MON toured the world chasing his surfing 'drug', until the MON lifestyle nearly destroyed him. And then there are the MON surfers who risk their lives for the ultimate thrill - MON surfing monstrous waves up to 60 ft high.

In Bad Salsa, two middle aged women and their MON younger friend seek to regain their zest for life and love MON by learning to dance at Bad Salsa, the club where everyone MON knows your name but no-one knows your prognosis! MON MON Depictions of people with cancer on TV and radio too often MON follow a standard format; there is the diagnosis, the MON depression the chemo, then the false recovery followed by MON the tragic death. MON Bad Salsa tries to paint a picture at once more hopeful and MON more in line with survival rates which have improved MON immensely over the past twenty years. For many, 'living with MON cancer' is now their day to day challenge. The characters in MON the series have finished their treatment and are in the MON process of finding their way back to normal life or at least MON finding a "new normal." As in the real world, the challenges MON of everyday life go on for our characters; like us they have MON boring marriages, distracting crushes, troublesome children, MON difficult workmates and infuriating parents, but unlike us MON their brush with mortality has given them a new perspective. MON The fun and excitement of the series is in watching them MON decide to preserve the pre-cancer status quo or in Terri's MON words, to say "sod it all" and "go for it!" MON MON The series follows the women as they embrace the world of MON salsa whilst they adjust to life after cancer.

Paul reflects on the times he's spent in MON hotels over the years, and the reasons he - like many other MON writers - has found them to be creative hotspots, a place at MON one remove from ordinary life in which inspiration can often MON be found.

MON MON In the first episode of the new series, Brian and Robin are MON joined by comedian and former maths undergraduate Dave MON Gorman, maths enthusiast and author Alex Bellos and number MON theorist Dr Vicky Neale to look at the joy to be found in MON numbers. Although many people fear maths and will admit to MON dreading any task that requires even basic skills of MON numeracy, the truth is that numbers really are everywhere MON and our relationship with them can, at times, be oddly MON emotional. Why do so many people have a favourite number, MON for example, and why is it most often the number 7? 7 is of MON course a prime number - a favourite amongst mathematicians MON and non-mathematicians alike, although seemingly for MON different reasons.

TUE TUE He talks to those who have ambition searing through their TUE veins. TUE Today he meets Saira Khan, business woman and runner-up in TUE the tv show The Apprentice, who claims to have been TUE ambitious since she was a small child. Growing up in Long TUE Eaton, Derbyshire, the oldest of four children of Pakistani TUE immigrants, she set her heart on doing better than her TUE parents, having financial security and learning the TUE confidence to do whatever she wanted. Starting out as a town TUE planner, she found her natural place in the sales team of a TUE biscuit manufacturer. Since her appearance on 'The TUE Apprentice', she went on to run her own business, and is now TUE also a TV presenter and motivational speaker. TUE TUE Saira's also a mother. She talks candidly about wishing not TUE to be a pushy parent and about her need to curb her TUE ambitious streak where her children are concerned. TUE TUE Saira and Tim discuss the merits and drawbacks of ambition: TUE does it lead to happiness and fulfilment or a never-ending TUE nagging discontent and anxiety? TUE TUE Producer: Lucy Lunt.

TUE TUE Pasternak knew his novel would never be published in the TUE Soviet Union as the authorities regarded it as seditious, so TUE instead he allowed it to be published in translation all TUE over the world - a highly dangerous act. TUE TUE By 1958 the life of this extraordinary book enters the TUE realms of the spy novel. The CIA, recognising that the Cold TUE War was primarily an ideological battle, published Doctor TUE Zhivago in Russian and smuggled it into the Soviet Union.

TUE TUE 11:30 Who Does John Hegley Think He Is? b048l0gc (Listen) TUE Poet and performer John Hegley thinks he might be descended TUE from the leading French Baroque composer and theorist, TUE Jean-Philippe Rameau, and for Radio 4 sets out to see if he TUE is. TUE TUE According to family legend, John's great grandmother was a TUE descendant of Jean-Philippe Rameau, a connection evidenced TUE by a shared surname and a bank note in local currency (now TUE lost) linking them to the same small community near Paris. TUE In the 250th anniversary year of the great composer's death, TUE John undertakes a Rameau pilgrimage to Paris, looking for TUE further evidence of whether he is related to the Baroque TUE Master, discovering the importance of Rameau's contribution TUE to classical music, and learning something about his life TUE and sublime music along the way. Very much the TUE philosopher-composer, Rameau caused a stir with his first TUE opera: he was fiercely attacked for his revolutionary use of TUE harmony, and for breaking Lully's mould. For much of his TUE career he seems to have been involved in wars of words over TUE musical ideas, and even, occasionally, unseemly brawls. He TUE was under fire especially during the 'Querelle des TUE Bouffons', a bust-up between the defenders of the French TUE operatic tradition and the champions of Italian music, which TUE included his enemy Rousseau. John attempts to get to know TUE Rameau the musician and the man: strict; secretive; slightly TUE eccentric, and prone to breaking his employment contracts as TUE an organist. His superiors at Clermont cathedral, unwilling TUE to release him 8 years into a 29 year contract, were TUE horrified when Rameau decided to select the most TUE disagreeable stop-combinations and discords possible at the TUE organ during an important Easter service, and let him go. TUE TUE Rooting for Rameau with the help of experts and performers TUE in Britain and Paris, John discovers perhaps Rameau's most TUE significant legacy, his Treatise on Harmony of 1722, which TUE sparked a revolution in music theory. In this tome he used TUE mathematics, analysis and commentary to attempt to derive TUE universal harmonic principles from natural causes, becoming TUE known as the Isaac Newton of Music in the process (a title TUE possibly invented by his friend Voltaire). Rameau's fame TUE spread throughout Europe, and his Treatise formed the TUE foundation for instruction in Western music that persists to TUE this day. Undeterred by this hefty achievement, and having TUE discovered that Rameau did not write his own first opera TUE until he was 50, John has been inspired to begin a musical TUE of his own, and has taken up piano lessons so that he can TUE perform some of Rameau's easiest pieces. We hear the fruits TUE of this endeavour, and a few episodes of reflection through TUE music and poetry of the inspiration John's found in his TUE believed connection to his ancestor, whether true or not.

FRI FRI In this opening episode, John explores two kinds of gap FRI between leaders and those they lead. FRI FRI There is the unavoidable separation between the staff, and FRI the chief who can ask them to leave the organisation. But FRI there is also the separation which comes from regarding FRI leaders as a breed apart. FRI FRI Sir John Timpson, Chair of the high street chain Timpson's, FRI tells him how, decades ago, this was expressed through named FRI parking spaces and separate toilets for company directors - FRI and how he has done away with such stifling status symbols. FRI FRI And John hears from a range of leaders whose approach is FRI much more open and egalitarian. FRI FRI Sir Hugh Orde, for instance, surprises John by saying that FRI when he was the Chief Constable of the Police Service of FRI Northern Ireland, he took the view that the most critical FRI level in the organisation was the sergeants and inspectors. FRI And that he sought to convince those middle ranking officers FRI that they were in charge. FRI FRI And ex-Chief Executive of NHS England, Sir David Nicholson, FRI declares that the age of the heroic leader in the NHS is FRI over, if it ever existed. FRI FRI Yet Sir David equally says that he was more than ready to FRI take charge of crisis situations - as when he eliminated a FRI £1 billion NHS deficit - and that his approach could FRI sometimes be characterised as 'bossing'. FRI FRI From Marks and Spencer to Newcastle City Council, John FRI discovers that there is often a hard edge underpinning a FRI genuine move towards a more co-operative approach to FRI leadership. Leaders show a willingness to eject those people FRI who simply don't want to follow the direction they have set FRI - particularly among their top team. FRI FRI And John addresses another, more difficult, gap betweeen FRI leader and led: pay. FRI FRI He discovers how, with public sector leaders' pay now a FRI prominent issue, some organisations, from the NHS to FRI Manchester University, are seeing leaders' pay held static FRI or lowered. And he puts this to the Director-General of the FRI BBC, Tony Hall. FRI FRI Finally, John finds the gaps around leaders leaving them as FRI potentially lonely figures - but much less so if they FRI abandon the old idea of the solitary superhero, and gather FRI around them the right leadership team.

FRI FRI 11:30 The Stanley Baxter Playhouse b048nsml (Listen) FRI Series 6, The Showman FRI FRI In the year of our lord 1561, Mary Queen Of Scots and the FRI protestant reformer John Knox clash in Edinburgh's old town FRI over a harmless entertainment involving a wayward troupe of FRI Scots comedians and song and dance acts - led by none other FRI than a sixteen century thespian who could easily have been FRI Stanley Baxter's ancestor. It's Murdo, the man with a fan FRI club as big as the Royal Mile and leading light of a FRI visiting troupe of players, Murdo and his Merry May Dancers. FRI FRI Stanley Baxter was born in 1926 and began working for the FRI BBC Scottish Home Service Radio Children's Hour when he was FRI fourteen - in 1940. He was called up to do National Service FRI at the age of eighteen and returned to perform on BBC Radio FRI in Scotland in 1948 - continuing to do so in the 1950s with FRI a variety of live comedy shows. He then went into films and FRI ultimately into television - but he has continued to work in FRI radio throughout his career.

FRI FRI 21:00 Saturday Drama b01s7tq3 (Listen) FRI Love, etc FRI FRI By Julian Barnes FRI Dramatised by Julia Stoneham FRI "Hello! We've met before ... Yes. I am sure. FRI Positive. About ten years ago." FRI Stuart's right. We have met before, and his FRI best friend Oliver, and Gillian, the woman they FRI both loved. We now have the chance to pick up FRI from where we left them in France ... FRI FRI Stuart................Carl Prekopp FRI Oliver.................Nicholas Boulton FRI Gillian.................Hermione Norris FRI Sophie................Lauren Mote FRI FRI Directed by Tracey Neale FRI FRI Darker and deeper than its predecessor, Talking It Over, FRI this sequel is an engrossing exploration of betrayal and FRI revenge told with a delicate balance between humour and FRI despair. Set ten years later we now have the chance to pick FRI up from where we left Stuart, Oliver and Gillian in France. FRI FRI All those years ago, the feckless and witty Oliver betrayed FRI his life-long friendship with Stuart, wrecked his marriage, FRI stole Gillian his wife and then moved to France. There, in FRI an attempt to ease Stuart's misery and her own conscience FRI Gillian staged a violent incident calculated to convince FRI Stuart that her marriage to Oliver is a disaster. FRI FRI But now Oliver and Gillian are back in London, Gillian has FRI resumed her art restoration work while Oliver is still FRI pursuing self-indulgent impractical projects. They have two FRI daughters. There isn't much money but they are happily FRI jogging along when Stuart, now a successful entrepreneur FRI with an unsuccessful marriage behind him, suddenly returns FRI from the USA, re-enters their lives and life begins to take FRI an unexpected turn for all of them. FRI FRI The characters tell their stories using the same witty, FRI intimate style as in Talking It Over. Told in the form of FRI triangulating dialogue, with the listener as a confidant. FRI This device, in the hands of Hermione Norris, Carl Prekopp FRI and Nicholas Boulton, captures the distinctive style Julian FRI Barnes uses in both novels to highlight the way in which, in FRI life, people react to unpredictable situations in ways that FRI are astonishing and sometimes even shocking. FRI FRI WRITER FRI Julian Barnes is a firm favourite with the Radio 4 listener. FRI Skilful and entertaining. His characters are always both FRI believable and beautifully observed. His most recent work - FRI The Sense of An Ending, winner of the 2011 Man Booker Prize, FRI and his new book published last month, Levels Of Life, a FRI semi-biographical book about his wife Pat Kavanagh's death, FRI join his collection of work which has been translated into FRI more than thirty languages. FRI FRI DRAMATIST FRI There is an exactness and delicacy in Julia Stoneham's FRI writing which fits perfectly with Julian Barnes. Her own FRI track record is impressive with many radio plays to her FRI name. She has in the past also written for television and FRI this included the hugely popular The House of Eliot. Her FRI trilogy of books about the Land Army Girls which was FRI originally broadcast on Radio 4 as The Cinderella Service is FRI now published and she is at present working on another FRI novel.

FRI FRI 22:45 Book at Bedtime b048znq7 (Listen) FRI A Man Called Ove, Episode 5 FRI FRI Ove is almost certainly the grumpiest man you will ever FRI meet. Every morning he makes his rounds of the local FRI streets, moving bicycles and checking the contents of FRI recycling bins, even though it's been years since he was FRI fired as Chairman of the Residents' Association in a vicious FRI coup d'etat. FRI FRI But behind the surly pedant there is a story, and a sadness. FRI FRI When one morning his new neighbours in the house opposite FRI accidentally flatten Ove's mailbox, it sets off a comical FRI and heart-warming tale of unexpected friendship which will FRI change the lives of one man - and one community - forever. FRI FRI The word-of-mouth bestseller in Sweden is Fredrik Backman's FRI debut novel. The main protagonist was born on his blog, FRI where over 1000 readers voted for Backman to write a book FRI about a man called Ove.
