In the course of his alternative operatic career SAT he's had much time to consider why so many poets have SAT decided to have a go at writing for the opera stage - even SAT though the collaborative experience is often so alien to SAT poets most comfortable writing alone. He meets some of the SAT modern era opera's most illustrious practitioners, including SAT Harrison Birtwistle, David Harsent, Alice Goodman as well as SAT James Macmillan - and more skeptical voices such as Don SAT Paterson, a prize-winning poet who has been highly reluctant SAT in the past to have his own words set to music as he regards SAT them to have their own internal music already. Michael also SAT presents archive audio from perhaps the greatest SAT poet-librettist of all, W.H. Auden, to try to establish SAT precisely what it is that poets bring to the operatic table SAT that other writers - such as novelists and playwrights - do SAT not; he also investigates how writing for the voice rather SAT than the page affects the writing style of poets.

With SAT feelings of bitter resentment, a desire to blank that woman SAT from your mind, or a need to just let it go? Or have you SAT perhaps decided to befriend that new woman? Suzy Miller did SAT just that when she became friends with her ex partner’s new SAT wife. As did journalist Daisy Buchanan, who was devastated SAT to split from her boyfriend, but then discovered she got on SAT even better with his new girlfriend than she ever did with SAT him. So what’s it like to make friends with an ex’s new SAT partner? Is it an act of madness, as some might say, or a SAT source of resolution and a new best friend? SAT SAT Calling Someone Out for Groping SAT Have you ever been groped? How did you, or how would you, SAT respond?

SUN SUN 06:05 Something Understood b04g6z5f (Listen) SUN Seeing Mary SUN SUN Something Understood: Seeing Mary SUN SUN John McCarthy explores the role of the Virgin Mary in SUN binding together different faiths in shared ceremony and SUN respect. SUN SUN To mark Christian celebrations of the birth of the Virgin SUN Mary on September the 8th John McCarthy looks at her SUN personal significance to people of different faiths. This SUN includes the Palestinian Ambassador to the UK Professor SUN Manuel Hassassian who says for him, "Mary symbolises hope, SUN spirituality and love". SUN SUN Mary, who was a Jew and the mother of the Christian Son of SUN God, is also one of the most revered women in the Muslim SUN tradition. Known in Arabic as Maryam, a chapter of the SUN Qur'an is named after her. Verses from the Quran relating to SUN Mary are frequently inscribed on the mihrab, or niche within SUN a wall of a mosque, denoting the direction of Mecca. But SUN alongside this she is deeply human. SUN SUN In Colm Tóibín's novel The Testament of Mary he examines the SUN complexity of motherhood. Mary supposes herself to have SUN intimacy with her son; she knows him better than he knows SUN himself (she told him raising Lazarus was dangerous, he SUN wouldn't listen). And yet, as she also acknowledges, he is SUN destined to be at an impossible remove from her. SUN SUN In 1968 the image of the Virgin Mary was seen above the dome SUN of a Coptic Christian church in the Cairo suburb of Zeitun. SUN The apparitions recurred for five months, for hours on end, SUN and more than a million and a half people claim to have seen SUN Mary during this time. In conversation with Danish scholar SUN Andreas Bandak, John considers how precariousness and SUN ambiguity is embedded in saint worship in the contemporary SUN Middle East.

SUN SUN Sir David Attenborough presents the Australian magpie. These SUN large piebald birds with pickaxe bills reminded early SUN settlers of the more familiar European magpie, but in fact SUN they are not crows at all. Australian magpies have melodious SUN voices which can range over four octaves in a chorus of SUN squeaks, yodels and whistles.

SUN SUN Sir Roger Moore's Bond 1973 debut in Live and Let Die saw SUN 007 reinvented for a more progressive era. Bond is less SUN concerned with international Cold War super-villains and SUN instead spears drug cartels infesting the streets of Harlem. SUN 1977's The Spy Who Loved Me was nominated for three Academy SUN Awards. And Moonraker delivered a Bond for the Star Wars SUN generation. SUN SUN With his matinee idol looks and martini dry wit Moore SUN brought tremendous naughtiness to the part. Sue MacGregor SUN reunites him with the team who helped make him the most SUN popular Bond ever according to two polls from the last SUN decade. SUN SUN Fresh from writing his new memoir 'Last Man Standing', Sir SUN Roger is in the studio with co-producer and screenwriter SUN (and step-son of 007 mastermind Cubby Broccoli) Michael G SUN Wilson. His half-sister and co-producer Barbara Broccoli who SUN has fond memories from the Roger Moore era. She officially SUN started in the publicity unit for The Spy Who Loved me and SUN became assistant director on Octopussy. SUN SUN John Glen - the most prolific director of the Bond franchise SUN - impressed the team with his handling of action scenes SUN including the scene when Bond shot off the edge of a cliff SUN appearing again when his Union Jack parachute opened up. The SUN world cheered! SUN SUN Richard Kiel who played the terrifying Jaws in The Spy Who SUN Loved Me, recalls how making his character more "human" made SUN him so popular with fans that he was brought back for a SUN second appearance in Moonraker. And Britt Ekland says SUN today's Bond girls are victim to the era of political SUN correctness. "They are beautiful businesswomen instead of SUN sex kittens like we were."

SUN SUN 13:30 Music of the Forest b04f9r4m (Listen) SUN Horatio Clare tells the story of the complex and SUN unconventional anthropologist Colin Turnbull. SUN SUN Arguably the most influential field recordings of all time SUN were made in 1954 by a British anthropologist called Colin SUN Turnbull. These recordings of the finely wrought music of SUN Mbuti pygmies, in the Ituri forest of what was then the SUN Belgian Congo, inspired legions of ethnomusicologists and SUN have gone on to be used as influence and source material for SUN a raft of artists, including Madonna, John Coltrane, Brian SUN Eno and Herbie Hancock to name a few. Alongside Bach, Mozart SUN and Louis Armstrong, Turnbull's recordings of the Mbuti were SUN sent into space as part of the Voyager Golden Record. SUN SUN Colin Turnbull's fascination with the Mbuti pygmies made him SUN one of the most famous intellectuals of the 1960s and '70s. SUN He appeared on chat shows and collaborated with filmmakers SUN and theatre directors. His bestselling book, The Forest SUN People, showed how these hunter-gatherers, roaming the SUN forest in search of honey, fruit, and game, lived lives of SUN compassion for one another in an environment they adored. SUN This idealistic vision, and Turnbull's corresponding unease SUN with the excesses of western life, became the lens through SUN which he would fashion his own existence - the rest of his SUN life became a search to find those same values outside the SUN forest.

SUN SUN Produced by Darby Dorras SUN Assistant Producer: Hannah Newton SUN SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4 SUN SUN This week's questions and answers: SUN SUN Q. When is the best time to plant Daffodils? SUN A. Around now (from September onwards) to encourage a better SUN root system. SUN SUN Q. Can the panel recommend a variety of Pear tree that is SUN resistant to pear rust? SUN A. Don't plant Conference Pears, plant Beth or Doyenne du SUN Comice and a Beurre Hardy. Pear trees should not be grown SUN through grass. SUN SUN Q. How can I create a microclimate to protect my plants from SUN the sea, the salt and the north-easterly winds? SUN A. You could plant a shelterbelt but it would be a shame to SUN block the sea view. You could plant things that would do SUN well by the sea instead such as the Sea Kale, Crambe SUN Maritima, species of Orchid, Yellow Horn Poppy certain SUN species of grass such as Pampas grass. You could try a SUN sunken garden to protect your plants or a polytunnel. SUN SUN Q. Why isn't my potted Hibiscus flowering? SUN A. Perhaps you didn't tease the roots out enough? Try adding SUN some high potash and be patient. SUN SUN Q. What plants would the panel recommend for making the most SUN of the garden in the evening? SUN A. Hesperis Matronalis (Sweet Rocket), Night Scented Stocks SUN and Zaluzianskya. SUN SUN Q. Do the panel have any tips for growing Gladiolus SUN Muriellae (Abyssinian Gladiolis) in the ground? SUN A. Don't bother trying them in the soil, they grow better SUN and look better in pots. SUN SUN Q. What is wrong with my Quince Tree? It has curly leaves, SUN lots of flowers but no fruits. SUN A. There is a touch of mildew and damage from sea breeze. SUN Quinces really like a lot of water. Ideally plant them by a SUN pond in a warm spot. Give them a good thick mulch and keep SUN them watered regularly. Fruit trees tend not to grow so well SUN by the sea so if want to grow edibles try Sea Kale and SUN Asparagus. Alternatively you could try hardy fruit trees SUN such as Sea Buckthorn or a Eriobotrya Japonica (Loquat). SUN SUN Q. My potted Olive tree is not doing so well, should I plant SUN it in the ground? SUN A. Keep it in the pot. That way you could bring the plant SUN undercover if it gets very cold. Prune it back a bit. Keep SUN it in a greenhouse over winter (or wrap it in fleece) and SUN repot it in the spring with fresh compost. Give it a bit of SUN a root prune too. Put it in full sun and make sure it is SUN well watered but well drained. SUN SUN Q. What can the panel recommend planting on the back of clay SUN dragon in a community garden that would be environmentally SUN friendly and resilient? SUN A. You could turf it over or put Bergenias in or Kniphofia SUN (Red Hot Poker). You could always put logs in the back for SUN the children to run up and down.

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.

SUN SUN Painkillers are widely available over-the-counter, and SUN combinations containing codeine, which is addictive, can be SUN purchased from pharmacists and on the internet. SUN SUN Teenager, Alice, tells Sally about secretly buying huge SUN numbers of painkillers on her way to school while she was SUN wearing her school uniform. She used her lunch money to buy SUN multiple packs from several stores, switching shops when she SUN was questioned by pharmacists. SUN SUN And Steve describes how his serious codeine addiction began SUN after treating tooth pain with the drug. The side effects SUN helped his anxiety and for years he was doctoring tablets in SUN order to increase his codeine intake. SUN SUN Some health professionals believe easy access is fuelling a SUN potential health crisis and say those with serious SUN dependency problems, are hidden below the healthcare radar. SUN SUN Only a tiny percentage of people with an addiction to SUN painkillers find their way to traditional substance misuse SUN services, fuelling concerns that there is a large, but SUN hidden group, who aren't getting help with their dependency. SUN SUN David Grieve, who set up the charity, Over-count, 21 years SUN ago after his own serious addiction to over-the-counter SUN cough mixture, believes the number of people dependent on SUN painkillers is growing, fuelled by easy availability on the SUN internet. SUN SUN Between 30-35% of visitors to his website say when they are SUN refused purchases by pharmacists, they buy online instead. SUN SUN Fabrizio Shiffano, Professor of Clinical Pharmacology at the SUN University of Hertfordshire and a member of the government's SUN Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, demonstrates how SUN easy it is to buy potent painkillers online and Dr Paolo SUN DeLuca, a senior research fellow in addictive behaviour at SUN King's College, London, tells Sally about a three year SUN international study, the Codemisused Project, which aims to SUN discover the scale of codeine use and misuse. Dr DeLuca is SUN leading the British arm of the study and he hopes that SUN research will fill the current gap in knowledge so that if SUN action is needed to reduce the risk to individuals, it can SUN be based on evidence.

SUN SUN The jaunty Tadpole revels in his youth as he darts about the SUN pond, generally avoiding his neighbours because most of them SUN want to eat him! "When are you going to grow up?" asks the SUN Dragonfly. This is far from easy as the tadpole is quick to SUN point out, as he has to go through a whole traumatic SUN body-changing metamorphosis. The only disadvantage, he SUN reckons, of being young and immature of course, is that you SUN have no hands, which makes things tricky when you want to SUN wave at anyone or take a selfie, but it's a small price to SUN pay for the freedom of youth reckons our happy-go-lucky SUN fellow, until a strange dream signals a life-changing event. SUN "One minute you're wiggling, wiggling. and the next you look SUN absolutely daft waving your bottom around, coz there's SUN nothing on the end of it" SUN SUN The Dragonfly is lighter than air, quick, beautiful; all SUN dazzling wings and observant eyes . She is also quite highly SUN sexed and living life at a great rate knowing that she SUN doesn't have much time. Having spent months and months SUN living in the murk and mud of the garden pond as an ugly, SUN aggressive nymph, her life was transformed when she felt SUN impelled to climb up a stem and was transformed into an SUN adult. She is dazzling; with her aerial acrobatics, fine SUN wings and long slender limbs. But she knows she hasn't long SUN to live and before she dies, she must feed and find a mate SUN "I'm gorgeous, I'm ready ... and I'm hot, hot, hot". SUN SUN Producer Sarah Blunt.

SUN SUN Tonight, extracts from her "Country Dwelller's Year", first SUN published in monthly instalments in the Scots Magazine SUN during 1946. These finely honed observations of the natural SUN world and the rhythms of the farming year were written when SUN Jessie Kesson and her husband lived in Morayshire as cottar SUN farm workers. SUN SUN Glossary: SUN Cottar ..... farm labourer who occupies a cottage in return SUN for their services SUN Howe ..... low-lying land SUN Orra loon ..... a lad employed to do miscellaneous unskilled SUN work SUN Hairst ..... harvest SUN SUN Jessie Kesson (1916 - 1994) was a prolific writer of novels, SUN poems, stories, newspaper features and radio plays. She came SUN through a hard start in life (born in the Inverness SUN workhouse, raised in an Elgin slum, removed from her SUN neglectful but much-loved mother to an orphanage in SUN Aberdeenshire) with a passionate determination to be a SUN writer. She combined a successful writing career with a SUN variety of jobs, from cleaner to artist's model, and was a SUN social worker for nearly twenty years, settling finally in SUN London with her husband.

MON MON Inspired by the recent public enquiry into Ireland's MON financial crash Greed Is Good is a blackly funny, entirely MON fictional sequel to the same writer's The Bail-Out, MON broadcast in 2011. MON MON Greed is Good asks the question - if the Bankers had the MON chance to do it all over again would they do it any MON differently? And the answer comes back loud and clear - are MON you kidding? MON MON In a packed Dublin courtroom, the soul of modern Ireland is MON laid bare as a fictional former banker goes on trial. Among MON those giving evidence against him are a one-time colleague MON and a disgraced government regulator, both complicit in the MON bank's collapse. As they take turns testifying, they begin MON to realise that with their shared expertise they could make MON an illegal fortune without getting caught. And they convince MON themselves that if they put their wealth to socially MON responsible use, greed could turn out to be good....... But MON of course they know that that is just the thin end of a MON wedge which has left every man woman and child in Ireland MON owing £30k over the next 25 years. MON MON An inside out look at the greed culture which just might MON conclude that many of those involved in finance could be MON suffering from a psychological illness - there must surely MON be some explanation for such reprehensible and even MON treasonous behaviour.

Professor Andrew Hussey, who's been visiting the MON city for many years, hears from many of the key players in MON what's been labelled the Nayda movement - including the MON director of the ground breaking movie 'Casa Negra' and the MON rapper whose recent imprisonment for criticising the police MON suggests that the movement still has some distance to go MON before Moroccan artists can fully exploit the freedoms MON enjoyed by those in Europe and the USA who have offered them MON such inspiration.

WED WED Sir David Attenborough presents the White-Bearded manakin of WED tropical South America. The sound of party-poppers exploding WED in a forest clearing tells you that white-bearded manakins WED are displaying at a lek. At a carefully chosen spot each WED male clears the forest floor of leaves and other debris WED before his performance begins. The commonest display is the WED snap-jump. As he jumps forward he strikes the back of his WED wings together creating a loud snapping sound followed by an WED excited "pee-you" call. Snap-jumps are often followed by WED grunt jumps or a manoeuvre known as "slide-down-the-pole". WED These displays continue throughout the day, but intensify WED when females visit.

Sayers' first Lord Peter Wimsey WED novel was published in the 1920s, the Golden Age of crime WED fiction, and he is still very much with us, appearing often WED on Radio 4 Extra.

WED WED Weidenfeld left his native Austria at the time of the WED Anschluss in 1938, the last survivor of a remarkable band of WED European émigrés - including André Deutsch, Paul Hamlyn and WED Ernest Hecht - who transformed the clubby world of British WED publishing after the Second World War. WED WED Gambler, opportunist, intellectual, socialite, and still WED working at 94, Weidenfeld is a living witness to the changes WED that have taken place in British publishing over the last WED century. WED WED In 1955, the exiled Russian author Vladimir Nabokov's novel WED 'Lolita' was published in Paris. Graham Greene had WED recognised it as a masterpiece, but in England the story of WED an obsessive sexual relationship between a 12-year-old girl WED and a middle-aged man was too hot to handle. WED WED Only Weidenfeld, an outsider standing apart from the Fifties WED cultural consensus, dared to take the gamble and defy the WED censor. 'Lolita' became Weidenfeld's first bestseller - WED 200,000 copies in hardback alone. It was a milestone for his WED publishing house and for English literature.

WED WED The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a WED snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the WED UK volunteer to have a conversation with someone close to WED them about a subject they've never discussed intimately WED before.

Every conversation - they're WED not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - WED lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key WED moment of connection between the participants. Most of the WED unedited conversations are being archived by the British WED Library and used to build up a collection of voices WED capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade WED of the millennium. You can learn more about The Listening WED Project by visiting bbc.co.uk/listeningproject WED WED Producer: Marya Burgess. WED WED 11:00 AL Kennedy: Holding Hands b04754xq (Listen) WED There is something uniquely intimate and comforting about WED holding someone's hand. Perhaps because it's something that WED begins in childhood - our small hand enveloped in that of WED other, stronger, larger hands. WED WED We associate it with comfort, concern, care. And then, for a WED while, we abandon it - not holding your parents' hands is a WED sign that you have grown up - only to have the joy of WED rediscovering new shades of meaning in the gesture. WED WED As adults, we may hold hands with our own children. Hand WED holding may be a part of courtship - it's not as flashy as a WED kiss, but can be a clear signal to ourselves and others that WED we are together - it can be a subtle brush or glancing WED touch, it can be a complex form of foreplay. WED WED We may also have our hands held at times of stress and WED crisis - sometimes by people we don't even know. And we may WED hold the hands of the sick and even the dying as they leave WED us, or after they have gone. WED WED We separate the joyful hand holding from the horrible - hand WED holding can induce emotions and by contrast, unruly emotions WED can be the reason to reach for a hand. WED WED Novelist AL Kennedy talks to scientists Professors Roger WED Lemon and Steve Jones, Rabbi Julia Neuberger, GP Adnan WED Siddiqui, triple amputee Giles Duly and poet-undertaker WED Thomas Lynch. She visits Monkey World to find out about hand WED holding among non-human primates, and we hear from her mum WED amidst the voices of people remembering holding hands.

The Dupont's lark THU is notoriously difficult to find as it skulks between THU tussocks of dry but at dawn and again at sunset, male THU Dupont's larks emerge from their hiding places and perform THU display flights over their grassy territories. As they rise THU into the sky their song is a melancholy refrain, which once THU heard is rarely forgotten.

THU THU 09:00 Andy Warhol: Time Regained b04gc0pg (Listen) THU Lenny Henry travels to Pittsburgh, USA, home town of bad-boy THU Pop Artist Andy Warhol, to get to the bottom of a mystery, THU inside a box... THU THU At the city's lavish Warhol Museum, Lenny meets the men and THU women sifting through the contents of 610 so-called Time THU Capsules, an artwork - as Warhol considered it - consisting THU of 300,000 strange and eclectic objects that the artist THU assembled across the last 13 years of his life, up to his THU death in 1987. THU THU And Lenny joins an audience of devoted Andy Warhol fans and THU art-historians as the Museum's conservation team unwrap - THU for the first time ever - the contents of the penultimate THU unopened Capsule, a cardboard box sealed by the artist 30 THU years ago in 1984... What will Capsule 528 contain? So far, THU in their previous unwrappings, the archivists have THU discovered original Warhol paintings, photographs, prints THU and memorabilia of almost unimaginable variety, not to THU mention packets of chocolate and sweets, toenail clippings, THU a cement block - even thousands of used postage stamps... THU THU Along the way, Lenny Henry also gets to meet one of the THU artist's closest associates, his assistant Benjamin Liu, as THU well as the man for whom he was always 'Uncle Andy', THU Warhol's nephew, Donald. THU THU Warhol embarked on his Time Capsule project in 1974, some THU years after the heyday of his legendary Factory when he was THU adding controversial film-making to his revolutionary THU multi-image picture making featuring Campbell's soup tins THU and such icons as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley and Jackie THU Onassis. Throughout, Warhol remained a laconic and THU mysterious communicator, responding to interviewers with THU strange and enigmatic non-answers. When asked whether he was THU happy to see his pictures on people's walls, Andy replied THU "oh, no. I like them in closets". THU THU Producer: Simon Elmes. THU THU 09:30 The Wood Pushers b04h8792 (Listen) THU A close encounter with the street chess players of Greenwich THU Village in New York, who play for money on the stone tables THU in Washington Square park. THU THU For these players, chess is like life - a game of survival, THU of war, of tricks and traps - with many paying their bills THU and living costs from the money they win at the tables. THU THU These are highly skilled chess players who take on the THU general public for money. Some are homeless - and a world THU away from the official tournament scene and stuffy formalism THU usually associated with the game. Chess is returned to its THU roots as a street-level pastime - fast, aggressive, winner THU takes all. THU THU Watching some of them play, it's somewhere between street THU magic, confidence trick and the most serious tournament - THU snappy patter disguises the sharpest moves in quick time. THU These players don't lose often. The nearby Village chess THU shop is a hub where players can take a break on long winter THU afternoons, or after the parks are cleared at night. It's THU been a fixture of the Village for many years. THU THU This programme - filled with the sounds of Washington Square THU and its nearby chess rooms - features a mix of characters THU who've been playing there for many years, and for whom chess THU is a spiritual anchor as well as an economic lifeline.

Yet the industry THU stands accused of profiting from slave labour. THU THU The BBC's Becky Palmstrom investigates this tale of modern THU day slavery. She travels to Thailand and Myanmar to find out THU why and how illegal migrants are being forced onto Thai THU fishing boats, many of them working for months unpaid. She THU hears allegations of cruelty and even murder. THU THU In Thailand Becky meets Ken, from rural Myanmar, who hoped THU to make a better life for himself and his ageing parents. He THU ended up being trafficked twice onto Thai fishing boats. The THU BBC team was able to bring his parents, back in Myanmar, the THU first news they had had of their son for four years. THU THU The Thai authorities admit that most of their fishing fleet THU is unregistered and much of it relies on illegal migrant THU labour. The Thai government insists it is making every THU effort to clamp down on trafficking and forced labour in its THU fishing industry. Yet the US State Department has recently THU downgraded Thailand to Tier 3 in its "Trafficking in Persons THU Report (TIP)" - a measure of how little it believes Thailand THU is doing to curb the problem.

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

THU THU Charlie Paton may not be able to turn water into wine but he THU is working on making seawater turn into a cooling system for THU hot and arid countries. The invention could increase crop THU yields in the driest parts of Africa as it uses a natural THU resource to cool greenhouses. As he says, "It's THU counter-intuitive to most people. Anybody who knows anything THU knows you don't have seawater in greenhouses and you don't THU have greenhouses in arid countries. On every level it is the THU opposite of what we do." Yet he believes this system can and THU will work, as he explains to Roger Law. THU THU Roger's second guest helped create some of the most useful THU objects for those with disabilities by recognizing what they THU themselves wanted. Roger Coleman first got involved in a THU friend's kitchen after she developed multiple sclerosis. 'I THU asked her what the most important thing was about the THU design. She said 'I want the neighbours to be jealous!'. It THU was a real light bulb moment for me. That's about being like THU everyone else." THU THU It set Roger on the path of designing a whole range of THU things that people really wanted, from the big button THU telephone to brightly coloured seating for kids in special THU schools which helped integrate them into the classrooms. It THU also led him to develop medical equipment for the NHS that THU suited users in hospital, such as a unique design for a THU resuscitation trolley.

THU THU Then it's to Berry Hill, the place where Potter grew up and THU visited frequently with his own family. Firstly to "Spion THU Kop", the Potter family home where artist John Belcher now THU lives and then onto some of the locations used in Potter's THU work. THU THU Felicity meets historian and verderer, Ian Standing who THU talks about his role in upholding Forest law and culture and THU shows us the oak trees that Lord Nelson planted. THU THU Finally from the ancient forest to the very modern as we THU visit a nearby café in Coleford to talk to teenagers from THU the Forest Youth Forum about what it's like to live in the THU Forest of Dean today.
