It was here, in the summer of 2000, that Michael SAT Paterniti listened as Ambrosio Molinos de las Heras spun an SAT odd and compelling tale about a cheese made from an ancient SAT family recipe. Reputed to be among the finest in the world - SAT one bite could conjure long-lost memories. But then, SAT Ambrosio said, things had gone horribly wrong. SAT SAT Paterniti was hooked. Relocating his young family to Guzmán, SAT he was soon sucked into the heart of an unfolding mystery - SAT a blood feud that includes accusations of betrayal and SAT theft, death threats, and a murder plot. As the village SAT began to spill its long-held secrets, Paterniti found SAT himself implicated in the very story he was writing. SAT SAT Michael Paterniti is a journalist and has been nominated SAT eight times for the National Magazine Award. One of his SAT stories was chosen for True Stories: A Century of Literary SAT Non-fiction, joining four other writers as the best examples SAT of literary journalism from the last hundred years.

Christopher Jefferies, her SAT landlord, was entirely innocent of any wrong-doing, but when SAT he was arrested on December 30th, many newspapers took it as SAT a signal to launch a major assault on the retired teacher SAT described in headlines as 'The Nutty Professor', 'The SAT Strange Mr. Jefferies', and 'A Creep who Freaked Out SAT Schoolgirls.' Pages were filled with false accusations about SAT his private life, often from unattributed sources. When he SAT was released without charge three days after his arrest, Mr SAT Jefferies had to be protected by friends and family from the SAT media and the coverage it had already published. He changed SAT his appearance and was unable to return to his home for SAT months. Now, in the first part of a new series of 'A Life SAT Less Ordinary', he examines some of the worst excesses of SAT the coverage, sometimes for the first time, in a bid to SAT describe what it's like to be thrust into the media SAT spotlight in such a dramatic way - as an innocent man SAT publicly vilified across the front pages of the national SAT press. Mr Jefferies talks to Roy Greenslade and David SAT Aaronovitch about how the media got it so badly wrong, SAT leading to successful legal challenges by Mr Jefferies SAT himself and the Attorney General. We hear from one of Mr SAT Jefferies' former pupils, the director Roger Michell, now SAT filming a major drama about the story, as well as family and SAT friends who provided the support which allowed him to get SAT through the worst of the ordeal, and finally emerge as a SAT vocal campaigner for press reform.

SAT SAT 23:30 Provincial Pleasures b03nrrbp (Listen) SAT Born in January 1914, Norman Nicholson lived all bar two of SAT his 73 years in the same small industrial town - most of SAT them in the same house. SAT SAT Millom (Cumbrian dialect for "At the mills") is not the Lake SAT District of Hawkshead or Windermere. It's a place where SAT industry failed and unemployment was disproportionately SAT high. Yet it was here, in isolation from the literary world, SAT that Norman Nicholson became a world-class poet. He wrote SAT about quarrying and iron works, slag banks and granite. He SAT was one of the first to argue that industrial heritage SAT should be valued on a par with our cultural heritage. SAT SAT Championed in his early life by TS Elliot, Ted Hughes and SAT Seamus Heaney, Nicholson chose to focus his energies on a SAT non-literary audience, spending his evenings lecturing at SAT the Workers Educational Association. During the 1970s, his SAT poem Windscale about a nuclear accident became an SAT environmentalists anthem. SAT SAT Eric Robson visits Millom, the town Norman Nicholson SAT dedicated his life to. What do the locals think of the poet SAT who did more than anyone else to reflect the soul of this SAT Cumbrian village? When poets are often restless people, what SAT motivated Nicholson to live his entire life in an apparently SAT depressed provincial town? SAT SAT Contributors include Melvyn Bragg (chairman of the Norman SAT Nicholson Society), poet Paul Kingsnorth, academic David SAT Cooper (Manchester Metropolitan University) and author SAT Kathleen Jones.

SUN SUN 13:30 Scoring Father Brown b01pp56k (Listen) SUN Scoring Father Brown is a unique exploration of the world of SUN writing music for film and television. Debbie Wiseman takes SUN us on her own individual journey as a composer, through the SUN processes and stages she took, when scoring music for this SUN television series. Based on the stories by G. K. Chesterton, SUN Father Brown is a charismatic sleuth, concerned with the SUN redemption of the soul. Music is required to underpin these SUN episodes, such as heightening emotions or joining scenes SUN together, but it is essential that from the very outset, for SUN the music to capture the individual world of Father Brown. SUN SUN Music is an integral part of many multimedia projects, from SUN stage, to film. It has the ability to work alongside the SUN visual narrative, enhancing emotions, evoking locations, and SUN can even provide the listener with otherwise unknown SUN information about a character. Debbie Wiseman, in writing SUN music for the Father Brown series, takes us through many SUN stages from going on location and meeting the cast, SUN including Mark Williams who starred as Mr Weasley in the SUN Harry Potter films, to decisions she has to make about where SUN to place music within the series, and why. SUN SUN Throughout the programme, Professor Eric Clarke from the SUN Faculty of Music at the University of Oxford, will be giving SUN us his views on the power of music to enhance a narrative, SUN and its often subconscious impact upon the listener. The SUN Father Brown production team also share their ideas about SUN the series, and their requirements for the music.

SUN Assistant Producer: Darby Dorras. SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN This week's questions: SUN SUN Q. What should I do to encourage my rose Zéphirine Drouhin SUN to climb? It has been in the same limestone position for SUN three years now but has not grown beyond 2-3ft (91cm). SUN SUN A. This is one of the most disease-riddled breeds you could SUN choose to grow. They are prone to mildew, black spot, rust SUN etc. Roses like a heavy soil with a lot of organic matter SUN and a lot of sunshine. I would take it out, improve the soil SUN and then replant it. Think about adding clay and some decent SUN topsoil. SUN If you wish to replace it, choose something a little more SUN vigorous that will have enough energy to battle the hard SUN conditions. SUN SUN Q. Could the panel suggest an ornamental tree for a SUN northwest-facing slope? It must not exceed10ft (3m). SUN SUN A. Caragana Arborescens is a member of the pea family and SUN has lots of small leaves and yellow flowers. It will grow in SUN poor soil conditions and will reach about 8ft (2.4m) at the SUN most. Sorbus Fruticosa is a beautiful, shrubby Sorbus SUN growing to about 5ft. It has mountain ash-like flowers which SUN are followed by lovely white berries until March. A variety SUN of Crab Apple called Malus Sargentii has lots of white SUN blossom followed by small, bright red crabs. It has a SUN graceful shape and will form a very broad head. SUN SUN Q. I have been asked to propagate a Colutea Arborescens. SUN What would be the best method? SUN SUN A. Take seeds from the inflated seedpods. Sow them as soon SUN as possible in some grit and place them at the base of a SUN north-facing wall. SUN SUN Q. Could the panel recommend some easy to grow vegetables SUN that will feed my family rather than the local roe deer? We SUN are already growing courgettes and onions. SUN SUN A. Try Jerusalem Artichoke as I don't think the deer would SUN take to them. Think carefully about where you plant them and SUN perhaps add a barrier so that they don't spread. Try adding SUN something to deter the deer. They will be frightened off by SUN a human scent, so leave an old pair of boots or scatter some SUN human hair. SUN SUN Q. Box blight has swept through Bradford on Avon. Could the SUN panel suggest some alternative plants that will create the SUN same effect? SUN SUN A. Ilex Crenata is a small leaved Japanese holly and Hetzii SUN is a low growing cultivar. Green globe provides a very good SUN look-alike. Loniceranitida is not particularly glamorous but SUN is tough and small leaved. If you have alkaline conditions SUN you could try Rosemary, Teucrium Chamaedrys or Lavender. SUN Sarcococcas could also work well. SUN SUN Q. Could the panel suggest planting that would attract SUN insects for bats to feed on? SUN SUN A. Try scented plants such as the wide range of Vibernum. SUN Nicotiana would work well, especially at nighttime. The more SUN fragrance you can add, the more diversity you will find. SUN Avoid double headed flowers and F1 hybrids because they SUN won't produce as much nectar. Also try Umbellifers or Ivy. SUN Grassland would be excellent because damp conditions attract SUN the gnats and grass is a good food source for moth larvae. SUN Also try light coloured flowers because moths are more SUN likely to be attracted to pale colours at night. SUN SUN Image: (c) RHS Images The Royal Horticultural Society.

Ruth Harkness took the SUN panda to the USA and kept it in her New York flat, before SUN selling it to a Chicago zoo. It was the first time the SUN animal had been seen outside China and panda-mania ensued. SUN It was named 'Su-Lin' and celebrities such as Shirley Temple SUN and Al Capone flocked to see it.

SUN SUN In the next in our series looking at where authors write, SUN the internationally bestselling Victoria Hislop takes us SUN deep into the bowels of The London Library. SUN SUN When 35 year old playwright Samantha Ellis, a Cathy Earnshaw SUN fan, was "wuthering" on the Yorkshire moors, and arguing SUN with her best friend the comparative merits of wild, SUN romantic Cathy over more independent and principled Jane SUN Eyre, she had an epiphany. Had she got it wrong? Perhaps it SUN was Jane, rather than Cathy who provided the more impressive SUN role model?

But Tim discovers the picture is much more SUN complicated than that.

SUN SUN Are there really two million millionaire pensioners in the SUN UK? The Intergenerational Foundation says two million over SUN 60-year-olds are living in "millionaire households" and, it SUN argues, don't need their pensions protected by the SUN government. Tim looks into the numbers. SUN SUN Estimates of the death count in Iraq since the start of the SUN war in 2003 range from 100,000 to one million. Tim explores SUN why such a range exists and what methods are used to count SUN those killed during war. And he discovers why the death SUN count hasn't stopped Iraq's population growing by almost a SUN third in that time. He speaks to Glen Rangwala from SUN Cambridge University and Patrick Gerland from the UN's SUN demographics team. SUN SUN And after last week's abject apology from mathematician and SUN comedian, Matt Parker, he is back to apologise for that SUN apology.

SUN SUN We explore the controversy surrounding what makes a film SUN British, as the BAFTA nominations are announced. Eyebrows SUN were raised about the space adventure Gravity made by an SUN American studio with an American cast, making it into the SUN Best British Film shortlist while 12 Years A Slave, with a SUN British director and leading actors, failed to classify as SUN British. Ben Roberts head of the BFI Film Fund explains the SUN mysterious world of what makes a film British and the SUN sinister-sounding criteria of the Cultural Test. SUN SUN We join the director Ken Loach in the cutting room in SUN London's Soho as he and his editor Jonathan Morris and SUN assistant Paul Clegg put together his latest film Jimmy's SUN Hall, set in 1930s Ireland and due for release this year. SUN This film is expected to be one of the last to be physically SUN cut on film as the industry moves almost entirely into SUN digital systems. Ken outlines why he feels there's a certain SUN rhythm and camaraderie to this traditional way of editing. SUN SUN Screenwriter Frank Cottrell Boyce discusses The Railway Man, SUN starring Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth. Based on the memoir SUN of Eric Lomax, it tells the tale of a man who survived SUN building the railway in Burma as a prisoner of war during SUN the Second World War and years later, sets out to find his SUN torturer. Lomax didn't live to see the film released and SUN Cottrell Boyce explains why this project is very close to SUN his heart.

MON We've been taught that passwords are the answer - as long as MON they are elaborate enough. MON MON Your password must not follow any predictable pattern.

MON Your password must not be something you would use as a MON password just to get past a password reset check. MON Your password must be impossible to remember.

MON MON On the eve of a major exhibition of his work at London's MON National Portrait Gallery, Bailey reveals in the first MON programme how he got started and how the portraiture that MON shot him to fame makes fashion photography more potent. "I MON thought the best way to sell the frock is through the girl. MON If the girl doesn't work, the picture doesn't work," he MON says. MON MON As he lights Tim's own photographic portrait and selects the MON backgrounds for the shoot lead to a discussion of the MON importance of advertising in photography which Bailey has MON been involved with for over fifty years. MON MON In the central London studio which houses his archive of MON images, Bailey also reveals to Tim how he made his name with MON photographs of such stars as Marianne Faithfull and most MON notably for "Vogue" for which he still works 45 years after MON his first commission. MON MON "I could do all those fashion pictures in "Vogue" over the MON phone," he tells Tim. "What lens to put on, what light to MON use - but it wouldn't be interesting.

MON MON And Tim talks to Marianne Faithfull herself about the two MON striking images of her which Bailey shot - in youth and in MON later years - and how she regards them now.

The MON eighteen-year-old narrator of Colin MacInnes' cult classic MON is determined to declare his independence from earlier MON generations, as he roams the city with his camera and a MON sharp eye for the stylish and the subversive.

This MON left mankind distinguished from animals by the way in which MON we inhabit the realm of language, our use and understanding MON of grammar representing a key attribute of being human. But MON this, too, is having to be reassessed, not least because of MON the accomplished way in which, for example, the famous MON bonobo chimp Kanzi communicates with his human keepers. MON MON Michael Rosen speaks to Dr Catherine Crockford of the Max MON Planck Institute in Leipzig - who studies chimp MON communication in Uganda's forests - and psycholinguist MON Martin Edwardes to assess whether the utterances of chimps MON constitute words, and whether their combination of them MON represents syntax and grammar. Michael also meets the actor MON Peter Elliott, whose career has been spent playing the parts MON of chimps in films.

She's the director of TUE the Prison Reform Trust, a charity 'working to create a TUE just, humane and effective penal system.' In her early 20s TUE she fostered children, and went on to work in a school at TUE the adolescent-unit of a psychiatric hospital.

In Britain it was TUE otter hunt records that first led to the realisation that TUE otter numbers were in steep decline in the late 1950's, a TUE result of chemical leachate into watercourses from adjoining TUE farmland. So how much influence can a local community have TUE in protecting a species for the benefit of the wider TUE community? In this programme Monty Don explores this TUE question through a field report looking at the decline in TUE Napoleon wrasse around the coral reefs of Palau after TUE commercial fishing arrived from other parts of Micronesia in TUE the 1980's. Local fishermen noticed the wrasse were TUE disappearing and brought about their own initiatives to TUE protect the species. This episode also explores the level of TUE success these local initiatives can have in a wider context. TUE TUE Producer Andrew Dawes.

But their formation of the group Muzsikas to TUE collect, preserve and perform the traditional music of TUE Hungary and Romania wasn't simply an exercise in nostalgic TUE musical heritage. It was a political act, as much to do with TUE national (even racial) identity and an alignment with TUE pre-Communist culture as it was with a love for 'gipsy' TUE rhythms and Balkan folk melodies . TUE TUE We trace the story of Muzsikas back to the source from which TUE Bartok similarly drank and examine the wide-reaching impact TUE and legacy of this musical revolution.

TUE TUE "Disparities between the North and the South in terms of TUE wealth and living standards seem to go back at least to TUE medieval times. A tendency to caricature and "other" the TUE North also goes back centuries. Last year, a peer caused TUE uproar in the House of Lords when he suggested that fracking TUE - forcing open rocks so as to extract oil and gas - should TUE be avoided in "sensitive" environments such as Sussex, and TUE implemented instead in "desolate areas" like the English TUE North-East. There are ample precedents for this kind of TUE metropolitan mental distancing. Told that his army regiment TUE was transferring from Brighton on the south coast, to TUE Manchester, the London-born Regency dandy known as Beau TUE Brummell protested only half-jokingly that he had not TUE reckoned on having to serve abroad."

WED WED As every high street slowly morphs into a replica of the WED next, Mark Steel's in Town celebrates the parochial, the WED local and the unusual. From Corby's rivalry with Kettering WED to the word you can't say in Portland, the show has taken in WED the idiosyncrasies of towns up and down the country, from WED Kirkwall to Penzance, from Holyhead to Bungay. WED WED This edition comes from Derry/Londonderry in County WED Londonderry, Northern Ireland, where the problems start with WED deciding which name to actually use.

How should our kids learn WED about money and how much should we tell them about our WED finances? WED WED With Christmas over, many children will have money they were WED given burning a hole in their pockets. Should we let them WED spend it on whatever they like or should we impose parental WED controls? What are the best ways to teach children about the WED value of money? WED WED Bringing Up Britain takes a look at money matters by WED investigating how the subjects of money and finance are WED being taught at home and in school. Mariella and her guests WED explore which are the most useful lessons for youngsters and WED how perceptions of money change as children grow. WED WED We also investigate what parents tell youngsters about their WED own money situations. Whether we're challenged by austerity WED or seeing the green shoots of recovery, most parents will WED have found themselves pre-occupied by money matters in WED recent years. How much of that should we pass on to our WED children? WED WED Mariella and her guests also discuss how we can talk to WED youngsters about changing financial circumstances - if a WED parent loses their job and money becomes tight for instance.

WED WED We all worry about the end of the world, as economists and WED environmentalists speak in apocalyptic terms everyday. iGOD WED says that trying to predict the end of the world is as WED pointless as moisturising an elephant's elbow. WED WED In each episode, an unnamed, all-seeing narrator (David Soul WED - Starsky and Hutch) shows us that it is stupid to be WED worrying, as he looks back at some of the most entertaining WED apocalypses on parallel Earths. Each week our case study is WED a normal bloke called Ian (Simon Day) who manages to WED accidentally initiate the apocalypse of a different parallel WED world through a seemingly harmless single act (telling a WED lie, being lazy, cooking some lambshanks). A succession of WED comic vignettes ensue that escalate to the end of a parallel WED world.

But her THU ambitions have taken a hit and the princess of Uzbekistan's THU star is falling. Described as a 'robber baron' in cables THU from the US embassy. her business dealings are getting her THU into trouble. Natalia travels to Sweden to find Karimova THU connected to a bribery case which is linked with a money THU laundering investigation in Switzerland and France. THU Karimova's rivals for power are taking advantage. Her TV THU stations were shut down and her charity has been subject to THU a tax investigation.

There is, though, another story to THU heroin. In this programme, Professor Andrew Hussey sets out THU to explore the extent to which it's possible to say that the THU drug has a particular effect on the creative output of those THU who have been heavily involved in using heroin, and before THU it, opium. He argues that while heroin won't make somebody THU creative who wouldn't otherwise have been, its impact on an THU individual's perception of time and space can be seen to THU modify the work of addicts and former addicts. He'll talk THU with, among others, author Will Self and Christiane F., THU whose book about her own heroin use in Berlin became a cult THU classic in the 1970s and 1980s, and hear from pianist James THU Young about the way heroin's influence can be witnessed THU across the works of such disparate figures as Berlioz, Bill THU Evans and Nico. The programme in no way seeks to glamorise THU heroin use, it simply addresses the question of how artists THU who've used the drug have been influenced as a result.

THU THU 9: Scotland THU THU "This union was from the outset a compromise, a stand-off THU even. Scots lost their ancient parliament at Edinburgh, THU receiving instead (limited) representation in the THU Westminster Parliament. The cross of St Andrew, the saltire, THU was blazoned on flags and banners alongside the cross of St THU George; and, on paper, England, Wales and Scotland were all THU subsumed into "one united Kingdom by the name of Great THU Britain", with a single legislature in London, the same THU Protestant ruler, similar fiscal arrangements, and one THU system of free trade. THU THU But Scotland retained its own systems of Roman law and local THU government, its own parish schools and excellent THU universities and its own forms of Protestantism and THU Presbyterian church government..."

THU THU This week we hear about his travels in Gelbetia, a country THU run by doctors. THU THU Produced by Steven Canny THU THU Brian Gulliver's Travels is a new satirical adventure story THU from Bill Dare. The series has attracted an excellent cast THU led by Neil Pearson and award winning star of the RSC's THU current season, Mariah Gale. Cast includes fantastic actors THU Tamsin Greig, John Standing, Paul Bhattacharjee, Christopher THU Douglas, Catherine Shepherd, Vicky Pepperdine, Phil THU Cornwell, Antonia Campbell Hughes, Jo Bobin and Katherine THU Jakeways. THU THU For years Bill Dare wanted to create a satire about THU different worlds exploring Kipling's idea that we travel, THU 'not just to explore civilizations, but to better understand THU our own'. But science fiction and space ships never THU interested him, so he put the idea on ice. Then Brian THU Gulliver arrived and meant that our hero could be lost in a THU fictional world without the need for any sci-fi. THU THU Satirical targets over the series: the medical profession THU and its need to pathologize everything; the effect of THU marriage on children; spirituality and pseudo-science; THU compensation culture; sexism; the affect of our obsession THU with fame. THU THU Gulliver's Travels is the only book Bill Dare read at THU university. His father, Peter Jones, narrated a similarly THU peripatetic radio series: The Hitchhiker's Guide to the THU Galaxy.

As she FRI travels south Cerys hears many different definitions and FRI descriptions of the A470: a road to nowhere; the road Wales FRI deserves; a highway of loss; the Welsh M1. FRI FRI She discovers the crossroads of Wales in Rhayader, a town FRI populated by rebels and red kites, she hears stories of the FRI A470 from historians, poets, bikers and musicians and she FRI finds herself serving customers in a roadside snack bar. FRI FRI The A470 - and her journey - comes to an end in the FRI re-vitalised Cardiff Bay, once known as Tiger Bay and now FRI home to the Senedd, the seat of Welsh government. Here she FRI meets Hassan Panero, a young poet from Cardiff's Somali FRI community who gives Cerys his own definition of Welshness. FRI FRI Producer: Jeremy Grange.

FRI FRI Episode 10: Ireland FRI FRI "To be sure, for much of history, these two islands have FRI seemed set too close for comfort. Parts of Scotland and the FRI north of Ireland are only twelve miles apart by sea: and FRI Irish peoples are known to have invaded the Scottish FRI Highlands and Islands from at least the 6th century AD. FRI Anglo-Norman invasions of Ireland began in the 12th century, FRI with Scottish settlers arriving a century later. But it was FRI the Reformation of the 16th century that over-determined FRI relations between the two islands..." FRI FRI Producer: Simon Elmes.
