It was a place he had loved in his youth and SAT the place he made his name writing about. SAT SAT Growing up in Bombay, Amit Chaudhuri used to feel a charge SAT of anticipation on visiting Calcutta. For him, it was his SAT first taste of modernism, of a completely contemporary city. SAT SAT "This is what I must have had an intuition of, even as a SAT child. And this is why I feel, even now, that the most SAT revealing places in Calcutta are not the museums or the SAT monuments - there aren't many of those - but the houses and SAT lanes." SAT SAT That Calcutta was one of the great cities of modernity for SAT Amit. He found himself changed by his encounters. SAT SAT "By modern, I don't mean new or developed, but a self SAT renewing way of seeing, of inhabiting space, of apprehending SAT life." SAT SAT A colleague of Amit's told him that he loved the city SAT because "you can feel that something happened here".

SAT SAT 14:30 Dangerous Visions b02v25nw (Listen) SAT The Sleeper SAT SAT A fable for our times. In The Sleeper by Michael Symmons SAT Roberts we see our own society as it is today but with one SAT familiar element removed. This is a Britain in which, SAT decades ago, human beings gradually lost the gift of sleep. SAT SAT The Sleeper is a new verse drama by Michael Symmons Roberts SAT with music by the WNO and youth chorus from Irish composer SAT Stephen Deazley, adapted to create a soundtrack mixing SAT speech, poetry and chorus. SAT SAT Society is strained to breaking point by 24-hour SAT wakefulness. The government has cracked down on subversive SAT images of sleep. People work around the clock. Hotels are SAT for private meetings and illicit sex. Shops never close. SAT SAT Into this paranoid world, a teenage girl emerges, a girl who SAT can sleep. Protected by her friends, she goes on the run SAT from the authorities who are keen to control and study her SAT gift. The group ends up living in a city centre squat, SAT surviving as a group by shoplifting and begging. SAT SAT The group grows increasingly anxious and fractious, with SAT Ellah (the sleeper)'s boyfriend Jamie lapsing into cultish SAT beliefs in the 'old gods', in which lullabies are chanted as SAT prayers, worshipping sleep. Some of the other group members SAT join in these rituals. Keller, the level-headed natural SAT leader of the group, is struggling to keep the peace. SAT SAT Hungry, scared and sick of being pursued, the group receives SAT an offer of help from a wealthy man - known by the nickname SAT Hypnos - who says he will protect them. But what does he SAT want in return? Desperate, and running out of options, they SAT go to him. SAT SAT When they reach the man's hideout they find a spectacular, SAT illegal private 'archive of sleep' - films, paintings, SAT music, books - and an eerie film-set centred on a four SAT poster bed. The price for his protection is a movie. He SAT wants to film the 'sleeper' sleeping. SAT SAT Why? Well, it transpires that he is the son of the last ever SAT sleeper. In fact, as a young child he woke his mother up SAT from that last sleep. He plays the group a film of that SAT fateful event, a home movie taken by his father of his SAT mother's rare and last sleep, ending with Hypnos - as a boy SAT - waking her. After that, no-one slept again. The guilt of SAT waking his mother has never left him, and the only cure is SAT to film this newly discovered sleeper peacefully asleep. SAT SAT With music created from the original WNO Youth commission by SAT the composer Stephen Deazley, and performed by members of SAT the Welsh National Opera Orchestra and Youth Opera SAT SAT Directed in Salford by Susan Roberts SAT SAT Michael Symmons Roberts is an award winning poet and SAT experienced radio writer.

SAT SAT New Orleans pianist Dr John once called Booker "the best SAT black, gay, junkie piano player New Orleans has ever SAT produced", but he remains little remembered outside his home SAT city. SAT SAT Classically trained in piano and a child prodigy, Booker had SAT his first hit record as a teenager, toured with the likes of SAT Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin and played on sessions with SAT Fats Domino and Little Richard. But it was as a solo SAT performer that he really came into his own. SAT SAT When record producer Joe Boyd met Booker at a session in the SAT 1970s he recognised his technical virtuosity and potential SAT to captivate an audience. He asked Booker if he'd like to SAT record an album on his own, without a band. The pianist was SAT cautious, but eventually agreed to record Junco Partner on SAT one condition - he had a candelabra on the piano. The SAT reason, he said, "cos I'm the Black Liberace baby!" SAT SAT Liberace may have been one of his idols, but Booker's styles SAT were wide and varied. He not only mastered but also SAT transformed the New Orleans piano style mixing Chopin, Liszt SAT and Rachmaninoff with jazz, blues, stride, gospel and SAT boogie-woogie. He played like he had four hands and made the SAT piano sound like a whole band. But, gay at a time when SAT homosexuality was a huge taboo and black in a divided SAT America, Booker died alone, aged 43, after a life of drug SAT and alcohol abuse. SAT SAT Featuring interviews with Dr John who was taught by Booker, SAT and New Orleans pianist Allen Toussaint, as well as Booker's SAT manager John Parsons and producer Scott Billington.

SAT SAT Highlights from the Woman's Hour week. SAT Presenters: Jane Garvey and Jenni Murray SAT Editor: Jane Thurlow SAT Producer: Rebecca Myatt. SAT SAT World War One: Changing Women's Lives SAT SAT In a special programme earlier ths week, we looked at how SAT the war shaped the lives of a generation of women. While SAT women in their thousands volunteered for war service and the SAT number of women employed went up by more than a million by SAT 1918, what power did women really achieve outside the home SAT and how lasting was it? Jenni Murray was joined by Baroness SAT Shirley Williams on the war's impact on the generation of SAT her mother, Testament of Youth author Vera Brittain; writer SAT and broadcaster Kate Adie; Joanna Bourke, Professor of SAT History at Birkbeck College; and cultural historian SAT Professor Maggie Andrews. We also heard about the work of SAT doctors Flora Murray and Louisa Garrett Anderson who SAT established and ran the only British army hospital - the SAT Endell Street Military Hospital - staffed entirely by women SAT in 1915, treating wounded soldiers. SAT SAT Fictional couples: Happy Ever After?

Were SAT you one of the many readers Rowling suspected felt the same SAT way? Which fictional couples would survive beyond the last SAT page of a book, and which are doomed to fail? We talked to SAT author Jojo Moyes and to writer and playwright Samantha SAT Ellis. SAT SAT Angel Haze SAT SAT US rapper Angel Haze is an outspoken voice in hip-hop, with SAT her raw personal tales of rape and sexual abuse. She says SAT she rejects labels of race, gender, and sexuality, and often SAT deals with difficult topics in her lyrics, rather than SAT common rap themes of money, drugs, and sex, as she wants to SAT help others by sharing her experiences. Behind all this, she SAT has her own powerful life story to tell - of a tough SAT upbringing, growing up in a ‘religious cult’, being abused SAT as a child, being banned from listening to music, coming out SAT as “pansexual”, and standing out as a fearless female voice SAT in the otherwise male-dominated, often homophobic, world of SAT hip-hop. She was third in last year’s BBC Sound Of 2013 SAT Poll, and now her debut album is just out, after she leaked SAT it online against her record label’s wishes in a rush to let SAT her fans hear her message. She joined Jane Garvey to tell SAT her about her life and her music. SAT SAT SAT SAT Dirty Gold by Angel Haze is out now on Island Republic SAT SAT Women who have lost their partner to drug addiction SAT SAT This week the world of film and theatre has been rocked by SAT news of the death of Philip Seymour Hoffman. Police suspect SAT the actor died of an overdose; he was discovered with a SAT hypodermic syringe in his arm and bags of heroin in his SAT Manhattan apartment. Hoffman lived through a familiar SAT pattern of experimentation, addiction, rehab, abstinence, SAT relapse… He leaves behind three children. Jenni was joined SAT by Elizabeth Burton-Phillips, founder of SAT Drug Fam SAT which is a support group for families of drug addicts, SAT and by Gail, who spent 20 years with a partner who was SAT addicted to heroin. SAT Drug Fam SAT SAT AddAction SAT NHS SAT Frank SAT Adfam SAT SAT Eileen Atkins, Ellen Terry and Shakespeare's Women SAT SAT Dame Eileen Atkins is currently on stage playing Ellen Terry SAT in the new candlelit Sam Wannamaker Playhouse at the Globe.

SAT SAT SAT Ellen Terry with Dame Eileen Atkins SAT SAT Breast Cancer and Women over 70 SAT SAT As part of their Be Clear On Cancer Campaign, Public Health SAT England have just launched a drive to raise awareness SAT amongst older women about the increased risk they face of SAT getting SAT breast cancer SAT Around 13 500 women over 70 are diagnosed with the disease SAT every year. Jane Garvey was joined by Dr Maureen Baker, SAT Chair of the Royal College of General Practitioners, and by SAT Baroness Dyleth Morgan, Chief Executive of the Breast Cancer SAT Campaign, to talk about why women of this age are more SAT likely to delay going to their GP. SAT SAT Sheryl Crow SAT Singer-songwriter Sheryl Crow has enjoyed huge success SAT across her 20 year music career, with hits like All I Wanna SAT Do, and If It Makes You Happy, and winning nine Grammy’s SAT along the way. However she’s also had to deal with SAT unexpected challenges life has thrown at her - her ill-fated SAT romance with Lance Armstrong, and breast cancer and brain SAT tumour diagnoses - and has happily gone on to adopt two SAT young boys as a single mother. She’s made a new home in SAT Nashville with her sons, near where she once grew up, and SAT has now made an album of country music, which she’s perhaps SAT aptly titled Feels Like Home. Sheryl Crow joined Jenni SAT Murray to talk about her recent life, how it has inspired SAT her new album, and to play her track Easy, live in the SAT Woman’s Hour studio. SAT Sheryl Crow’s new album is Feels Like Home.

SAT Now the cathedral town of Barchester is changing again, with SAT the arrival of a new Bishop, his wife and Chaplain from SAT London throwing all Barchester into disarray. And Eleanor SAT Bold is to meet them all and discover a potential rival in SAT the beautiful but lame Madeline Neroni. SAT SAT Music composed by David Tobin, Jeff Meegan and Julian SAT Gallant SAT SAT Directed by Marion Nancarrow SAT SAT Barchester Towers is the sequel to The Warden. Starting 4 SAT years later, it follows Mr Harding, his daughter Eleanor and SAT his son-in-law, Archdeacon Grantly. Mr Harding thinks he's SAT found a sort of peace, having accepted that he's lost the SAT Wardenship of Hiram's Hospital. But there's been a shocking SAT occurrence between the two books which has had a profound SAT effect on his younger daughter, Eleanor. And now the world SAT of Barchester is to be rocked again, with the arrival of SAT newcomers who threaten the sleepy tranquillity of the SAT cathedral town. SAT SAT The Barchester Chronicles is Anthony Trollope's much-loved SAT series of witty, gently satirical stories of provincial life SAT set within the fictional cathedral town of Barchester and SAT the surrounding county of Barsetshire.

SAT SAT 22:15 Moral Maze b03sztyj (Listen) SAT Sochi SAT SAT On Friday hundreds of millions of people around the world SAT will tune in to watch the opening of the Sochi Winter SAT Olympics in the Russia. International games like these are SAT as much about being a showcase for the host nation as they SAT are about sport. And the Russians are determined to impress. SAT At a reported 51 billion dollars, these are the costliest SAT Olympics - summer or winter - ever staged. But the spotlight SAT has also fallen on Russia's laws on homosexuality. This week SAT more than 50 current and former Olympians have called on the SAT Russian authorities to repeal recently introduced anti-gay SAT laws that forbid "gay propaganda" aimed at under-18s and SAT that are said to have led to a wave of homophobic attacks. SAT The athletes have also been joined by a coalition of 40 SAT international human rights organisations which have SAT criticised the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and SAT multinational sponsors for not doing more to force the SAT Russian president Vladimir Putin's administration to scale SAT back the legislation. The Russian refusal to move on the SAT issue has led to calls for a boycott of the games. Should we SAT use sporting events to make a principled stance on issues SAT such as this? Or are they just an empty gesture designed SAT more to parade moral superiority than in any expectation of SAT changing the law in Russia? If the sporting boycott of SAT apartheid South Africa was effective why not apply the SAT principle more widely, or are we as viewers too addicted to SAT the spectacle and athletes too addicted to their own glory? SAT When it comes to boycotts and the Winter Olympics where do SAT we draw the line between moral principle and cultural SAT relativism?

SUN SUN 06:35 The Living World b03tr7hk (Listen) SUN Lepidopteran Winter SUN SUN Each year Britain's butterflies and moths attempt to make it SUN through the cold, dark and often wet winter months. Some SUN species will spend the winter as eggs, others as SUN caterpillars or pupae but some get a head start on the SUN spring flowers by spending the winter as adults. Being at SUN their largest and most conspicuous in a time of hunger for SUN many insectivorous predators, is a risky strategy for SUN butterflies. Richard Fox of butterfly conservation explains SUN how Lepidoptera pass the winter months and takes presenter SUN Chris Sperring to a winter hideaway for a group of adult SUN peacock butterflies, which have some surprising strategies SUN to keep predators at bay. SUN SUN Produced by Ellie Sans. SUN SUN Richard Fox SUN SUN Richard Fox is an ecologist who studied at Oxford University SUN and University College London and has worked in nature SUN conservation for over 20 years. For the past 15 years, he SUN has led Butterfly Conservation’s work on biological SUN recording, running the national recording schemes for SUN butterflies and larger moths, as well as other initiatives SUN such as the Big Butterfly Count, which involve tens of SUN thousands of citizen scientists. The information gathered SUN through these schemes provides the foundation for SUN conservation action in many forms and at many scales; from SUN nature reserve designation, habitat management and informing SUN planning decisions through to targeting national policies, SUN assessing long-term species’ trends and developing Red SUN Lists. SUN Richard is passionate about citizen science and SUN communicating the results of recording and research to wider SUN audiences. He has published 30 scientific research papers SUN with collaborators around the world and over 200 other SUN publications including two books.

Among SUN her innovations a pioneering support scheme for vulnerable SUN victims and establishing the National Crimes Sex Unit for SUN Scotland - the first of its kind in Europe. SUN SUN Her predisposition to seeing things from the victim's point SUN of view might have something to do with her own experience - SUN in 1984 she was badly injured in a rail disaster that killed SUN 13 others - including the two men sitting opposite her.

A few months SUN after he was last released, he was seen on a bench outside a SUN prison gate, head in hands, desperate to return. Within SUN weeks he was back inside. SUN SUN In prison he thrives. He fills his time with purposeful SUN activity, gaining respect among fellow inmates and staff. SUN Outside, without the protective regime, he falls into old SUN habits. SUN SUN Seymour has been locked up every year for the past decade, SUN for sentences related to his crack cocaine habit. In prison, SUN he gets clean and commits to change; out of prison, usually SUN after a period of success, his addiction gets the better of SUN him. SUN SUN Once back on crack, it's only a matter of time. Although SUN "gutted" when he ends up back inside, he usually SUN acknowledges a sense of relief. SUN SUN As his current sentence ends, Seymour shares his thoughts SUN and experiences - through his final days in prison, then out SUN on to the streets. Will he leave crime behind? What support SUN will be available? Can he convince his family to trust him? SUN SUN BBC Radio 4 has been recording Seymour's progress since SUN Summer 2012 and Let Me In provides rare, first-hand SUN testimony from a man full of hope, but also fear, as he SUN struggles to define his place in the world.

Answering questions from Hercules SUN Hall are Matt Biggs, Christine Walkden and Matthew Wilson. SUN SUN Produced by Victoria Shepherd. SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4 SUN SUN This week's questions and answers: SUN SUN Q. Our holly trees do not produce berries. Why would this SUN be? SUN SUN A. You may have males or only females in the area. It is SUN unlikely to be climatic conditions causing the problem. Look SUN at the flowers to work out whether they have anthers or SUN stigmas. Alternatively, take a sample of your holly to an SUN expert. You could go for J. C. van Tol because it is a SUN self-pollinator. SUN SUN Q. Dierama or Angels Fishing Rod can often start to look SUN tatty. Is it ok to cut it back like other perennials? SUN SUN A. Dierama has strap-like foliage and long, thin stalks SUN which erupt with dancing pink and purple bells. Wait until SUN the spring to take off any remnants. They don't like a lot SUN of disturbance especially when the ground is damp. Generally SUN leave tidying up until February. It is much better for the SUN balance of your garden and the wildlife to leave things. SUN SUN Q. What is the best method for applying seaweed? Bury it at SUN the bottom of the rose beds, lay it down as fresh mulch, or SUN add it to the compost? SUN SUN A. Allow the rain to wash the salt off and put it onto the SUN compost. It is a wonderful soil conditioner. It can look SUN aesthetically odd if used fresh on the beds and will attract SUN lots of flies. You can also steep it in water and use it as SUN lawn feed. You will get an instant greening but make sure SUN you really water it down as too strong a dose can cause SUN damage. SUN SUN Q. Could the panel suggest a quick fix for a sad and SUN brown-looking bed which is often hit by southwesterly gales? SUN SUN A. You need to introduce evergreen foliage and colour that SUN will last throughout the season. Try Hellebores, Cyclamen or SUN Bergenia Ciliata. At the back end try Schizostylis. Nerines SUN would be ok if you planted them planted deep enough, about SUN 6-9 inches (15-22cm), so that they establish themselves and SUN the wind won't rot them. This depth is contrary to the usual SUN advice, but it will protect them from being knocked over by SUN the wind. Euonymus Silver Queen will provide structure and SUN can be clipped into variegated spheres. Mediterranean SUN planting will cope well in these conditions. Stipa Gigantean SUN or the silver oat grass will grow to about 1.8 m tall and SUN will look wonderful in the breeze. Beneath this you could SUN use Artemisia Arborescens for its silver foliage. Ozothamnus SUN is very fast growing or Ozothamnus Rosmarinifolius has SUN foliage like a Rosemary. One variety you could try would be SUN Silver Jubilee. SUN SUN Q. Why do I have problems planting snowdrops? SUN SUN A. It appears that you may not be planting them deep enough. SUN The lack of depth combined with sandy soil suggests that SUN they are drying out. Planting them at the end of the summer SUN means that they won't have enough moisture. Try planting SUN them in February or March. They also like a lot of organic SUN material, so improve the soil and give them plenty of water. SUN SUN 14:45 Witness b03tr7j4 (Listen) SUN The Battle of the Carmens SUN SUN At the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, an East German, SUN Katarina Witt, and an American, Debi Thomas, were vying for SUN Gold in the ice dance competition.

His comments entertained many and SUN became the most-watched political interview of 2013. But SUN between the lines, Brand was also giving voice to the SUN populist resurgence of a serious but controversial idea: SUN anarchism. SUN SUN The new "anarcho-populism" is the 21st century activist's SUN politics of choice. In evidence in recent student protests, SUN the Occupy movement, in political encampments in parks and SUN squares around the world, it combines age-old anarchist SUN thought with a modern knack for inclusive, consumerist SUN politics. SUN SUN Brand's interview was just one especially prominent example. SUN The thinkers behind the movement say it points the way SUN forward.

Radio 4's Peter MON White has been tracking the progress of those who did secure MON work and speaking to some of those who did not: did this MON prove to be a lucky break or a lucky near-miss and what kind MON of or career, if any, is available in UK's growing network MON of coffee chains? MON MON The Costa story was seen as highlighting the effect of MON recession in the East Midlands, an area with 178,000 out of MON work and high streets badly hit by the collapse of chains MON like Comet, Clinton Cards and Jessops. Among those who tried MON - and failed - to secure the coveted barista jobs were MON accountants and managers with many years of experience. MON Times have definitely changed, says area manager, Sham MON Ramparia: once these kinds of jobs were seen as easy to walk MON in and out of but he is looking for skill, experience, MON personality and "a real passion for coffee." MON MON Peter follows Sham as he sifts through application forms, MON highlighting those peppered with errors, spelling mistakes MON and inaccuracies. He believes schools could do far more to MON prepare youngsters for the reality of job hunting and even MON degree students sometimes fail to grasp of what potential MON employers might be looking for. As well as many who fall at MON the early stages, there are some who get as far as being MON offered jobs on a trial basis but who opt out of the trail - MON sometimes after less than an hour or so! MON MON As the eight settle into their new roles Sham thinks he has MON spotted management potential in a couple of them - two 26 MON year olds, Steve Tomlinson and Heather Davies, who says she MON has so much passion for coffee "it's unbelievable" Other MON couples shine out for perhaps less welcome reasons: two MON workers, Chelsea and Johno, are in love and plan to spend MON their first wage checks on a first holiday together abroad. MON Before long Chelsea is abandoning her plans for University MON in favour of staying put in the Nottingham suburb of MON Mapperley, an idea which surprises Sham: "I have said to her MON she should go to University, get her degree and if she wants MON to she can always come back." MON MON For Steve the Costa job and the chance of being fast-tracked MON for a management post comes after two years spent on MON benefits, a time when he sent out hundreds of unsuccessful MON job applications. He left school at 16, a decision he MON bitterly regrets and lost his job as manager of a milkshake MON bar when the business collapsed. It was, he says, a very MON difficult and demoralising search for work: "I got very low MON through it. That's why I can't really believe that I got MON this job, but I think my passion for coffee just shone MON through. Everyone who knows me has seen a great change in me MON - there are things I now look forward to and plans i have MON for the future. This is my life and it's finally taking MON shape." MON MON But behind the success stories there are still many who are MON still struggling and others who have yet to properly find MON their feet. Nineteen year old Christina Delfina was happy to MON get the Costa work but had her heart set on a job in the MON airport. When she left Costa to finally give that a go, she MON found that it didn't work out. Now she is back at the MON Mapperley Costa branch and reviewing her options. Gone is MON the blessed glow of those opening days and instead she MON struggles with what lies ahead: "I've never been lucky - MON perhaps because I don't expect much...I'm not sure now what MON I'll do or where I'll go, it's so difficult thinking of MON plans for your life.".

Once frequently dismissed MON as peripheral, even irrelevant, in May 2010 Britain's third MON party was suddenly propelled into the centre of power. At MON its helm: a man with only five years' experience as an MP MON who became Deputy Prime Minister in the first peacetime MON coalition for 80 years. MON MON In this series Steve Richards talks to Nick Clegg himself MON and other senior LibDem figures about their rollercoaster MON ride in government, and assesses the party's prospects for MON the future. MON MON Through in-depth interviews with insiders, we trace the key MON moments in this dramatic story: MON MON The meteoric rise of Clegg himself, who went from MEP to DPM MON in little more than a decade. The abrupt transition from MON "Cleggmania" to becoming one of the most pilloried figures MON in public life. MON MON The highs and lows of the UK's first experiment with MON coalition in modern political history. The heady first days, MON tuition fees debacle, AV referendum campaign, health MON reforms, election results, Lords reform row, and the MON increasingly bitter, fractious relationship between the MON coalition partners. MON MON We explore Nick Clegg's leadership through turbulent times, MON assessing his political beliefs. How was a left-leaning MON party able to partner up with Conservatives with such MON apparent ease? What was the cost? And, with a hung MON parliament still very much in prospect in 2015, we show how MON Nick Clegg's politics and character could matter hugely to MON the future of British politics. MON MON Producer: Leala Padmanabhan. MON MON 20:30 Analysis b03trqh1 (Listen) MON What is Wahhabism? MON MON Since the 9/11 attacks on New York and Washington DC, the MON ultra-conservative Wahhabi branch of Islam has often been MON cited by critics and commentators as the ideology of Islamic MON extremists around the world today. But can 21st Century MON terrorism really be blamed on the teachings of this 18th MON Century sect? MON MON In this edition of Analysis, Edward Stourton asks what is - MON and what isn't - Wahhabism? He explores the foundation of MON this fundamentalist form of Islam, the evolution of its MON interpretation in Saudi Arabia, and asks what power and MON influence it has across the globe. MON MON Founded by the Arabian scholar Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, MON this form of Salafi Islam sought to purify the religion by MON returning to its original principles. Ibn Abd al-Wahhab was MON part of a broader Muslim reform movement which promoted a MON return to the texts of the Quran and Hadith and, MON controversially, questioned the teachings of Islamic MON scholars of the day, who formed part of a chain of knowledge MON stretching back centuries. MON MON What is said to be a very literal translation of Islam is MON now an inspiration for modern-day Muslim hardliners, who MON view a binary world of believers and non-believers, strict MON social rules and adherence to Sharia law - but how close is MON this to the teachings of Ibn Abd al-Wahhab?

When it comes to dynamic MON landscapes, there's perhaps nowhere in the world more MON exciting than Iceland; with its vast groaning glaciers, MON spouting geysers, thundering glacial waterfalls, hissing MON thermal vents and erupting volcanoes - and it's the sounds MON of this landscape which Chris is keen to capture. Iceland is MON situated on a geological rift, the Mid-Atlantic ridge MON between the Eurasian plate and the North American plate. The MON plates are moving apart at a rate of 2cm a year. "Iceland is MON at least twice the size it was 10million years ago and is MON still growing" geophysicist Magnús Tumi Guðmundsson tells MON Chris. Then, just over 50 years ago when another island, MON Surtsey, erupted off the south west coast of Iceland. The MON eruption lasted for 3 years, and the creation of a new MON island offered scientists a unique opportunity to study the MON process of island colonisation. "The landing was amazing I MON can't describe the feeling, it's impossible" recalls Erling MON Olafsson, one of the first scientists to land on Surtsey MON "only three colours grey, brown and blue". In 2003 Chris was MON given permission to visit Surtsey "I remember the sounds of MON a newly established gull colony and seawash on a beach of MON jet black lava". The colony of Lesser Black-backed gulls MON have played a key role in facilitating the colonisation of MON the island by other species. "I can understand now, how a MON seemingly hostile volcanic island can give rise to new life" MON says Chris, and back on Iceland he is astonished by the MON density of birds on a hillside; snipe, whimbrel, redwing, MON golden plover and redshank "At first, it's not apparent when MON you just look round, but what you really need to do is just MON listen".

TUE TUE 09:00 The Great War of Words b03srqz9 (Listen) TUE Episode 2 TUE TUE The arguments over who began the Great War have raged since TUE the first shots were fired. Michael Portillo examines a TUE fierce battle for meaning with high stakes. TUE TUE All governments needed to convince their public that they TUE had not begun this war of the world. Historians were TUE immediately pressed into the national cause. Documents of TUE state became weapons of propaganda but it was the coming of TUE peace that transformed the issue of responsibility into the TUE burning question of war guilt. TUE TUE Article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles assigned TUE responsibility for the war to Germany and its allies TUE essentially as way of making the case for reparations but TUE the defeated people of the new German Weimar Republic saw TUE the clause as a terrible judgement and bitterly resented it TUE and the issue of reparations . TUE TUE Defeat and horrific loss fostered powerful myths that would TUE later become central to Hitler's appeal. Even before the war TUE ended the myth of the 'stab in the back' was born in TUE Germany. The idea that the war had not been lost on the TUE battlefield but by betrayal at home. This & the inability to TUE consider the role their nation had played in the outbreak TUE and prosecution of the war would become corrosive TUE narratives. TUE TUE In the interwar years the German government and its TUE historians devoted themselves to finding a way to revise TUE history and undermine the Treaty of Versailles. A race to TUE release documents and control the truth began. Across Europe TUE and America others began to question these issues of TUE responsibility. A new understanding of the causes of the war TUE grew- no one had been to blame. TUE TUE Then, in the 1960's, the work of German historian Fritz TUE Fischer blew any consensus apart. And now, a century on, can TUE historians agree and should the issue of responsibility for TUE the war have any residual power? TUE TUE Producer: Mark Burman.

Some birds TUE travel even further to the Arctic Circle, and so on the TUE summer solstice, Chris takes a 3 hour ferry journey from the TUE mainland to the island of Grimsey which lies on the Arctic TUE Circle to record some of these remarkable migrants. TUE Scientists are becoming increasingly concerned about the TUE number of breeding colonies which have failed in Iceland in TUE the past decade and Chris hears about the reasons why and TUE what steps need to be taken to help the situation. Often TUE called Sea Swallows because of their overall shape long tail TUE feathers, Arctic terns are very protective of their eggs and TUE young and aggressive as Chris discovers when he tries to TUE record in their colony. He also comes across Arctic terns TUE inland at Lake Myvatn, the 'Lake of Flies' "and its very TUE aptly named. I had to wear a head net in June as tens of TUE thousands of flies swarmed around me the moment I set foot TUE outdoors" . After recording the haunting songs of red TUE throated divers, long tailed ducks and black-tailed godwits, TUE Chris watches Arctic terns swooping down to pick off flies TUE along the road which the adults can feed on. The programme TUE also reveals how with the latest technology scientists have TUE gained a fascinating insight into the exact migration routes TUE of these birds; "We discovered new stopover areas, we TUE discovered a new southern route but overall the sheer scale TUE of this migration was what was most impressive to us " says TUE Iain Stenhouse, one the scientists working on this project. TUE "These birds are not just Olympic athletes they are spatial TUE geniuses as well". TUE Producer Sarah Blunt. TUE TUE 11:30 I've Played in Every Toilet b03trs7b (Listen) TUE John Harris visits some of Britain's surviving small music TUE venues and asks what will happen if they disappear TUE altogether. TUE TUE All over the UK, small music venues are threatened with TUE closure, or have already gone out of business. Many of them TUE have hosted gigs by truly legendary names and were once TUE securely built into the so-called 'toilet circuit', which TUE allowed promising musicians to take their first tentative TUE steps on the national stage. Without them, we may not have TUE heard from Coldplay, Oasis, Blur - or such contemporary TUE talents as The Vaccines and Mumford and Sons. But crushed by TUE powerful landlords and the rising expectation that music - TUE whether live or recorded - should be free, these places are TUE struggling as never before. TUE TUE John's journey takes in The Forum in Tunbridge Wells, once TUE an actual public toilet, which has survived over the last TUE twenty years because the volunteers that run it haven't TUE profited from the business. He also travels to Hull to visit TUE the Adelphi Club, a semi-detached house on one of the city's TUE residential streets which has hosted bands such as Pulp, TUE Green Day and Radiohead. Manager Paul Jackson says things TUE have been tougher than ever for the venue, but he's TUE determined to carry on. TUE TUE Finally John visits Newport, once home to the legendary TJ's TUE where Kurt Cobain famously proposed to Courtney Love. TUE Speaking to the daughter of the former owner John Sicolo and TUE Nicky Wire from Manic Street Preachers, he finds out what TUE happens when a town loses its beloved venue. TUE TUE He also speaks to DJ Steve Lamacq and journalist Kate TUE Mossman to consider how - without these venues run on a mix TUE of hope and blind faith - we will discover the next TUE generation of musicians.

THU THU This week he travels to Erosia which has a very different THU view of sexual politics. THU THU Written by Bill Dare 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.

Is it possible to intervene to make communities FRI stronger? FRI FRI Giles visits the RSA project in Bristol, Social Mirror. Its FRI aim is to combat a growing plague of loneliness, especially FRI amongst older people. Gaia Marcus, who runs the project, FRI believes that a lack of social connectedness can impact FRI heavily on mental health, well-being and life prospects.

He FRI stayed there for the rest of his career, holding many FRI positions including Director of Entertainment. FRI FRI Eckersley's memoirs, The BBC and All That, published in the FRI 1940s, include beautifully drawn descriptions of the first FRI month in the now iconic Broadcasting House, after the BBC FRI moved there in 1932 from Savoy Hill. He often smuggled in FRI small groups of friends for unofficial tours of the hidden FRI areas of the BBC, including drama studios, sound effects FRI stores and the boiler room in the basement - his favourite. FRI FRI He had a wonderfully unstuffy and rebellious nature - FRI surprisingly appropriate for a BBC that was regarded by the FRI Establishment of the time as an unruly upstart. He relished FRI tales of being banned from broadcasting live football FRI commentaries, so paying a string of eye-witnesses to leave FRI the ground at regular intervals and give descriptions of the FRI action they had just seen. He was part of the Pronunciation FRI Committee when George Bernard Shaw and poet laureate Robert FRI Bridges almost came to blows over the how to say "acoustic", FRI and found himself in a discussion about jazz with Queen Mary FRI during which, he learned from an appalled friend afterwards, FRI he had persisted in calling her "My Dear".

Spall is joined by FRI Zoe Tapper (whose recent TV credits include lead roles in FRI Survivors, Desperate Romantics and Affinity) and Geoffrey FRI Streatfeild (who recently starred as Hal in the RSC's FRI History Cycle). Poliakoff and Spall previously collaborated FRI brilliantly on the ground-breaking TV dramas Shooting the FRI Past and Perfect Strangers. FRI FRI The play tells the story of the rise and fall of Bill Galpin FRI (Spall), a flamboyant entrepreneur who pools his fortune FRI into backing risky inventions which are concerned with FRI safeguarding the environment, while at the same time having FRI a very tempestuous but poignant relationship with his two FRI children Roxanna and Danny (Tapper and Streatfeild). FRI FRI Beginning in the heady days of the late 1960s, Playing With FRI Trains deals with the fact that Britain invents so much, yet FRI manufactures so little. Galpin makes a fortune from a FRI brilliant development in gramophone technology, and then FRI turns himself into a self-appointed patron and champion of FRI inventors and innovators everywhere, clashing with the FRI establishment through the libel courts, speeches to captains FRI of industry, Civil Service offices and even TV shows. FRI FRI Parallel to his relationship with industry is his even more FRI tempestuous relationship with his children. Roxanna - whom FRI he expects to become a great engineer - drops out of FRI Cambridge and becomes an art student in an attempt to escape FRI her father's grip. Danny, meanwhile, turns into the very FRI thing his father despises - a financial expert, but in so FRI doing recognises the shortcomings of his father's FRI enterprises. FRI FRI Playing With Trains is a moving family drama set over two FRI decades, charting a "love affair" between father and FRI daughter. It's Poliakoff at his very best, telling an FRI intensely private story within a sweeping public drama. FRI FRI Playing With Trains was originally staged at the RSC in FRI 1989. FRI FRI The cast is completed by Helen Longworth (Frances), Joseph FRI Kloska (Mick), Nigel Hastings (Vernon Boyce), Michael Fenton FRI Stevens (Gant) and Bruce Alexander (QC). It was produced and FRI directed for BBC Radio Drama Birmingham by Peter Leslie FRI Wild. FRI FRI Producer/Director Peter Leslie Wild.
