SAT SAT Credits SAT SAT 10:30 A Century of Hope b04kzz5t (Listen) SAT Born in Eltham in South London, Bob Hope emigrated with his SAT family to the USA at the age of five, and became unique SAT among the great entertainers of the last century. He was at SAT some point number one in radio, in SAT film, and in television. SAT For over half a century, Bob Hope was perhaps the most SAT famous comedian on the planet. He worked with teams of SAT writers round the clock to feed his famously quick-fire SAT joke-filled act. He was a tireless entertainer of the troops SAT in wartime, a phenomenally successful businessman and had SAT naval ships, airports, theatres and highways named after SAT him. SAT American comedian Greg Proops is a very different performer SAT to Hope. Greg is a one-man-band whose comedy is improvised SAT with a hard, often radical edge. In spite of their huge SAT differences in style and the political gulf between them, SAT Greg admires Hope's timing as well as the skill and bravado SAT with which he worked an audience. SAT But what kind of a man was Bob Hope and what is his SAT reputation and legacy today? SAT Greg sets out to answer these questions with the help of SAT those who knew him best including his daughter Linda and SAT Bill Faith - his publicist for many years. We hear from some SAT of the writers who were on his team in the 70s and 80s. Greg SAT also talks to critic and biographer John Lahr to get his SAT insight and reminiscences of the man of whom writer John SAT Steinbeck said, 'It is impossible to see how he can do so SAT much, can cover so much ground, can work so hard, and can be SAT so effective.

SAT The narrator takes a cross-country motorcycle trip from SAT Minnesota to California with his son Chris during which the SAT maintenance of the motorcycle becomes an illustration of how SAT to unify the cold, rational realm of technology (the SAT 'classical') with the warm, imaginative realm of artistry SAT (the 'romantic'). As with the practice of Zen, the trick is SAT to engage fully with the activity, to see and appreciate SAT every detail, whether it's hiking in the woods, writing an SAT essay, or tightening the bike chain to ensure a smooth ride. SAT The narrator wrestles both with the ghost of his past and SAT with some of the most important philosophical questions of SAT the 20th century. SAT The book touched the zeitgeist of a whole generation in 1974 SAT after being turned down by 121 publishers.

SAT SAT October 15th 1964: General Election day. It was a heady time SAT - the Beatles had SAT topped the charts all summer with A Hard Day's Night. And SAT during the last days of campaigning, the Olympic Games in SAT Tokyo were offering a welcome televisual distraction, with SAT Mary Rand our gold-medal poster-girl all over the front and SAT back pages as the polls opened. SAT For Britain's political leaders they were days of trading SAT claims and counter-claims: in the blue corner, Tory grandee SAT Alec Home - pronounced, aristocratically, as 'Hume' - the SAT incumbent Prime Minister who'd two years previously had to SAT renounce his peerage and fight a by-election in order to SAT accept the premiership. Labour's leader was pipesmoking SAT honest-john Northerner Harold Wilson, whose avuncular SAT addressing of ordinary folk and champion of technology gave SAT him for some a modern appeal in keeping with the age. The SAT Liberals were led by Jo Grimond, statesmanlike and SAT distinctly upper-middle class, whose party had just won a SAT startling by-election. It was a fascinating fight. SAT Both Wilson and Home were relative newcomers: Macmillan's SAT resignation had propelled Sir Alec, a charming, if diffident SAT foreign-affairs specialist. into the limelight, where he SAT often appeared out of touch with the concerns of ordinary SAT voters. Wilson too had taken the top job unexpectedly when SAT Labour's much loved and admired Hugh Gaitskell died SAT unexpectedly in 1963. What with sex scandals, gaffes and the SAT satirical bite of TW3 and Beyond the Fringe, it was quite a SAT fight, and one Wilson was expected by many to cruise. SAT And yet, as the results poured in, it looked like it would SAT be a dead heat... SAT Producer: Simon Elmes.

SUN SUN Miranda Krestovnikoff presents the poisonous variable SUN pitohui from New Guinea. This jay sized, black-and-tan bird SUN hides a dark secret. Named for their voice, pitohui is a SUN representation of their song and 'variable' refers to their SUN plumage colour which varies across their range. What is SUN striking about this bird is that it is poisonous: its skin SUN and feathers contain powerful neurotoxic alkaloids similar SUN to those of South American poison-dart frogs. For the SUN pitohui, this chemical defence is unlikely to be fatal to SUN predators which prey on them; rather it discourages further SUN attacks. People who've handled have suffered burning SUN sensations in the mouth, numbness in fingers and bouts of SUN sneezing. It is not recommended.

His book, published in 1984, SUN On Food and Cooking, has influenced home cooks as well as a SUN new generation of experimental SUN chefs. SUN It's seen as an important book because it made the science SUN of food accessible and understandable to domestic cooks and SUN chefs. It explains what happens to the protein molecules in SUN eggs when they're whisked and what unfolds in the fibres of SUN meat when heated. SUN However, in the programme Harold McGee argues that his book SUN revived kitchen science rather than introduced it. He cites SUN figures including the 18th century Lord Rumford (an early SUN experimenter in slow cooking) and Nicholas Kurti (a SUN Hungarian born Oxford physicist) as the true pioneers of a SUN more scientific approach to cooking.

SUN SUN When she was growing up in SUN Oxford, the young composer and musician Emily Levy learned SUN much about music from her adored older brother, Gus. He SUN would make her compilation tapes which brought together his SUN passionate and eclectic taste. When he went off to SUN university, the tape-making continued and soon they were SUN also attending gigs and festivals together. SUN Then Gus died in an accident. SUN Five years on, Emily has begun to listen back to the SUN mix-tapes. SUN She speaks with some of Gus's closest friends about his SUN passion for music and his particular talent at bringing SUN together surprising genres and artists - not to mention his SUN love of juggling to music. SUN She finds solace in the discovery that sharing Gus' music SUN tastes with others bestows on him a kind of immortality. SUN And she reflect on how, in our era of musical choices made SUN by computer algorithm, the death of someone dear to us SUN represents the loss of a unique, human algorithm. SUN Finally, Emily composes a short piece of music to contribute SUN to a programme which is, in itself, her own Mix-Tape for SUN Gus. SUN Producer : Beaty Rubens.

Bob Flowerdew, SUN Anne Swithinbank and Matthew Wilson take questions from SUN local gardeners. SUN SUN Produced by Darby Dorras. SUN Assistant Producer: Hannah Newton. SUN SUN A Somethin' Else SUN production for BBC Radio 4. SUN This week's questions and answers: SUN Q. What is a good plant to climb up a north-facing wall? SUN A. Ivy would be good for a fence, Akebia quinata would work SUN as a climber and Camellias would work brilliantly grown in SUN front of the wall. Espalier Pear trees or Morello Chrerries SUN would also work well. SUN Q. What kind of tulips should I plant in a pot for a SUN colourful display? What other plants could I plant with SUN them? SUN A. Apricot-beauty, Fontainbleau, Triumphator, Queen of SUN Night, Apple Dawn and Angelique are lovely varieties of SUN tulips. Forget-Me-Nots look great planted under tulips. SUN Plant the bulbs deep in the pot. Get some well-draining SUN compost in the base, perhaps some John Innes mixed with SUN something else over some crocks. Then add more compost and SUN put the Mysotis plants (Forget-Me-Nots) on top of those and SUN the Tulips will push their way through. You could also SUN underplant with Scilla, White Jonquil Narcissus or Narcissus SUN Thalia. Alternatively you could overplant them with Lilies. SUN Plant the tulips at the end of October or early November. SUN Q. How should I prepare my shady east-facing vegetable SUN plots? SUN A. Use raise beds to maximize the light getting to the SUN plants. Paint any surrounding walls white. If there is turf SUN there now, you don't need to prepare the soil too much. SUN Plant Garlic, Broad Beans, Shallots, Onions now but wait for SUN spring to plant other things. SUN Q. What is this invasive plant and how can I deal with it? SUN It's a perennial plant which is 30cm tall with average SUN leaves and reddish stems. It has bunches of pink scented SUN flowers. It's in the same plant family as Carnations SUN (Caryophyllus) so it has a similar look. SUN A. It's Saponaria (Soapwort) and you just need to keep SUN digging it up. SUN Q. Is it recommended to leave the roots of Runner Beans in SUN the ground with a chance of them shooting up the following SUN year? SUN A. Yes, if you have a mild winter there is a chance this SUN would work. You could use mulch to insulate them over the SUN colder months. Be careful, the roots are poisonous. SUN Q. My beautiful ornamental Cherry tree took three years to SUN die and now my other fruit trees are looking poorly. What SUN should I do? SUN A. It looks like sclerosis due to mineral deficiency. You SUN could try using some seaweed solution or manure to help give SUN them the nutrition they need to survive. SUN Q. Will Eremurus (Foxtailed Lilies) do better in raised beds SUN in full sunshine? SUN A. Yes, these plants like full, hot sunshine. Try the SUN Pinocchio, Isabelina and Cleopatra varieties. SUN Q. My white climbing Hydrangeas are turning pink, what is SUN happening? SUN A. Heat and light and water types can change the colour of SUN the plants. The flower colour also depends on the acidity of SUN the soil.

The conversations are being gathered across the UK SUN by teams of producers from local and national radio stations SUN who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're SUN not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - SUN lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key SUN moment of connection between the participants. 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.

But are they SUN right? SUN SUN Now the BBC's Economics Editor, SUN he witnessed at first hand every twist and turn of the SUN financial crisis of 2007 and 2008. He first exposed the SUN crisis at Northern Rock as well as revealing the failure of SUN Lehman Brothers. This makes him the ideal interviewer to SUN probe the arguments and conclusions of "The House of Debt", SUN a radical new study of the recession and the lessons to be SUN learnt from it. In discussion with the book's authors, Atif SUN Mian and Amir Sufi, he subjects their arguments to rigorous SUN scrutiny. SUN They challenge the conventional wisdom that the banks were SUN to blame for the recession in the US and UK. They argue that SUN the real villain was the doubling between 2000 and 2007 in SUN total American household debt to $14 trillion. Much of this SUN was owed by borrowers with the poorest credit ratings. When SUN the house price bubble burst and incomes also fell, these SUN households suddenly stopped spending and plunged the US SUN economy into deep recession. SUN By this argument, the banks weren't the real problem. And SUN yet, thanks in large part to their lobbying power, they SUN received help which would have been better directed at SUN helping indebted households. If correct, this means SUN governments and central banks should fundamentally SUN reappraise how they tackle future downturns, focusing much SUN more on households and much less on bankers. For many, this SUN may sound highly attractive. But does the new analysis pass SUN muster with Robert Peston? SUN Producer Simon Coates.

MON MON Proponents say that devolving more power to cities, enabling MON them MON to take decisions about taxes and spending, could be the key MON to their growth.

MON She meets the civic leaders in Manchester to hear about MON their innovative 'earnback' scheme for investing in new MON infrastructure.

TUE TUE Miranda Krestovnikoff presents the common hawk cuckoo from TUE the Bengal region. The repetitive call of the common TUE hawk-cuckoo, otherwise known as the brain-fever bird, is one TUE of the typical sounds of rural India and on into the TUE foothills of the Himalayas.

TUE This week Mark looks at "Success". Everyone wants to be TUE successful, just as everyone wants to be loved, or have a TUE big flashy car. But how do we actually measure success? Is TUE it measured by how many things we have, how many swimming TUE certificates are on our walls, whether or not we are Lionel TUE Richie? Some people appear to be doing well in the world but TUE are miserable. Other people don't have money, a good job or TUE anything - but are happy. Is that, in fact, the true TUE definition of success - to find contentment with whatever TUE life brings you? TUE Mark, Tim and Tom draw on modern definitions of success, and TUE decide which ones are worthwhile. They look at successful TUE people and those who have made a dog's dinner of life, to TUE draw what conclusions they can.

WED When India joined the War on August 4th 1914, the powerful WED native princes and politicians of all sides pledged their WED support. Colonial administrators and local chieftains toured WED villages to recruit from the so-called "martial races", WED particularly from the Punjab. Financial incentives were WED promised and medals were issued to successful recruiters. WED Singers and poets were hired to entice anyone of fighting WED age. WED Santanu travels to India to meet the grandsons and great WED grandsons of soldiers who fought on the western front, WED Mesopotamia and elsewhere. One speaks with immense pride of WED his family's help to the Empire in its hour of need; another WED tells of his sadness at the thought of young men who had WED only ever handled a sickle, being used as cannon fodder, WED thousands of miles from home. WED In 1917 when the pool of available manpower was drying up, WED the British stepped up the recruiting drive. Santanu hears WED tales of coercion, including allegations of water supplies WED being diverted and even of the kidnapping of wives of men of WED fighting age. WED Of all the colonies in the British, French and German WED empires, the Indian subcontinent contributed the highest WED number of men. This is the story of how they were recruited WED to travel across the Kalopani, the "dark waters", to take WED part in the world's first industrial war.

Unlike skylarks which are THU rural birds, crested larks often nest in dry open places on THU the edge of built-up areas.

THU THU Nancy was THU an 18th century superstar, who sang personally for Marie THU Antoinette as well as Napoleon and Josephine, and whose life THU was as dramatic as the times she lived through. THU Nancy was musically talented from childhood and in 1778, THU aged 14, she was accompanied to Italy, where her reputation THU soon spread. Four years later, she was one of a company of THU performers recruited to work for Emperor Joseph II's court THU in Vienna. THU Exploring Nancy's relationship with Mozart, Catherine meets THU the distinguished conductor, Jane Glover CBE, Director of THU Opera at the Royal Academy, Music Director of Chicago's THU Music of the Baroque, and author of the book Mozart's Women: THU His Family, His Friends, His Music. Jane is convinced there THU is no foundation in the rumours that the two were ever THU lovers, but she is certain they were very close, and that THU Nancy had important creative input into the development of THU Susanna, in the Marriage of Figaro. THU But Nancy's personal life was a disaster - her mother forced THU her into an arranged marriage to a British actor, John THU Fisher, who beat her, and only the personal intervention of THU the Emperor rescued the situation. THU Ian Page, founder, conductor and artistic director of the THU company Classical Opera, accompanies Catherine in a THU rendition of the concert aria Ch'io mi accordi di te? (You THU ask that I forget you?), written by Mozart for Nancy to THU perform the evening before she left Vienna to return to THU London, in 1787. Nancy never went back to Vienna.

THU THU It is 1947 and there is THU a gloomy and desolate feel to the small Gloucestershire THU village where young Jack Leach's boy lives. It is a village THU almost entirely populated by women and children; the men THU have yet to return from the war - and many will never THU return. THU To this village comes a group of travelling nuns, who may or THU may not be from a religious community, but who set up a THU homestead in a deserted farmhouse. Then comes the man - back THU from the war - who is badly injured, but is nursed back to THU health by the women in the farmhouse. He is befriended in THU particular by Mireille, one of the women, and by the young THU boy, for whom he professes to have a secret. What this THU secret is, and why the man wishes to fly, is revealed as the THU play progresses. The boy then witnesses a scene that will THU live with him forever. THU This epic story about faith, forbidden love, and the THU intoxicating power of the imagination has one foot in the THU poverty of post-war rural Britain, a place of bitter THU disillusionment that reflects part of our society today, and THU another in the world of the beauty where the inconceivable THU may just possibly happen.

THU THU 1/6: This first edition of the THU brand-new series sees John create an innovative teaching THU aid; eavesdrop on two guards who really should be paying THU more attention; and, well, since you ask him for a tale of THU honour satisfied, he does have one such sketch. THU The first series of John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme was THU described as "sparklingly clever" by The Daily Telegraph and THU "one of the most consistently funny sketch shows for quite THU some time" by The Guardian. The second series won Best Radio THU Comedy at both the Chortle and Comedy.co.uk awards, and was THU nominated for a Radio Academy award. The third series THU actually won a Radio Academy award.
