SAT SAT 14:30 Saturday Drama b00y4cvg (Listen) SAT Classic Chandler, The Big Sleep SAT SAT In 1939 Raymond Chandler created a different kind of SAT detective, the fast-talking, trouble seeking Californian SAT private eye Philip Marlowe, for his great novel The Big SAT Sleep. Marlowe's entanglement with the Sternwood family - SAT respectable sister with gambling addiction, younger sister SAT with drink/drug problem and an attendant cast of colourful SAT underworld figures - is enshrined in the iconic film version SAT with Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. Toby Stephens plays SAT Philip Marlowe in a landmark series bringing all Chandler's SAT ground breaking Philip Marlowe novels to Radio 4. SAT SAT Dramatised by Robin Brooks SAT Directed by Claire Grove SAT SAT This series brings all the Philip Marlowe novels to Radio SAT 4's Saturday Play. The Big Sleep 1939, Farewell My Lovely SAT 1940, The High Window 1942, The Lady in the Lake 1943, The SAT Little Sister 1949 and The Long Goodbye 1953, and two lesser SAT known novels, Playback 1958 and Poodle Springs, unfinished SAT at the time of his death in 1959. The series will be aired SAT in Spring and Autumn 2011. SAT SAT Toby Stephens is best known for playing mega-villain Gustav SAT Graves in the James Bond film Die Another Day (2002) and SAT Edward Fairfax Rochester in the BBC television adaptation of SAT Jane Eyre (2006). In autumn 2010 Toby starred as a detective SAT in Vexed, a three-part comedic television series for BBC 2 SAT and Toby made his debut at the National Theatre as George SAT Danton in Danton's Death. SAT SAT Kelly Burke makes her radio debut as cool, sophisticated SAT Vivien Sternwood (the role which made Lauren Bacall famous). SAT SAT Marlowe is a character the R4 audience think they know, but SAT do they? He is a moral man in an amoral world. This is SAT California in the '40's and 50's, as beautiful as a ripe SAT fruit and rotten to the core, reflecting all the tarnished SAT glitter of the American Dream. The police are corrupt. The SAT businessmen are well-heeled racketeers with politicians in SAT their pockets and their daughters have gone to the bad. It SAT is the taxi-drivers, maids and bartenders who restore SAT Marlowe's faith in human nature. They scratch out a living SAT at the bottom of the pile and Marlowe is there with them, in SAT his shabby office with its cracked sign and no air-con, SAT waiting for the next client to walk through the door. SAT SAT Raymond Chandler was born in Chicago, Illinois, on July 23, SAT 1888, but spent most of his boyhood and youth in England, SAT where he attended Dulwich College. In 1919 he returned to SAT the United States, settling in California, where he SAT eventually became director of a number of independent oil SAT companies. The Depression put an end to his business career, SAT and in 1933, at the age of forty-five, he turned to writing, SAT publishing his first stories in Black Mask. By the time he SAT published his first novel, The Big Sleep (1939), featuring SAT the iconic private eye Philip Marlowe, it was clear that he SAT had not only mastered a genre but had set a standard to SAT which others could only aspire. Chandler died in 1959. SAT SAT Stephen Wyatt (dramatist) is a Sony Award Winning SAT Playwright. Recent work for R4 includes dramatising three of SAT the Complete Ripley series including The Talented Mr Ripley SAT for Saturday Afternoon, The Yellow Plush Papers for 11.30am SAT and Tom Jones for Classic Serial.

SAT SAT Even for those that don't know William Burroughs, he's easy SAT to find. He's in the lyrics to Iggy Pop's Lust For Life and SAT on the cover of Sgt. Pepper. The bands Steely Dan and The SAT Soft Machine take their names from his books. He even coined SAT the term "heavy metal". SAT SAT Drug addict, homosexual crusader, gun nut, beat writer, the SAT Godfather of Punk, countercultural icon - Burroughs was many SAT things. Marking the author's centenary, rock legend Iggy Pop SAT presents a unique hour on the quintessential American SAT iconoclast. SAT SAT William Seward Burroughs II was born to an upper SAT middle-class St. Louis family in February 1914. In 1940s New SAT York, with Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, he started the SAT Beat Movement. His addiction to heroin would motivate a SAT turbulent journey that came to a tragic climax in Mexico SAT City, where he shot and killed his wife during a drunken SAT "William Tell" routine. The tragedy threw Burroughs into "a SAT lifelong struggle, in which I have had no choice except to SAT write my way out". SAT SAT Whizzing from Mexico to South America to Tangier to Paris to SAT London, then finally back to the States, Burroughs forged an SAT influential body of work. With Junkie, Queer, Naked Lunch, SAT the "Cut-Up Trilogy", the "Red Night Trilogy", paintings, SAT audio recordings and films, Burroughs became the only name SAT worth checking in the counterculture. SAT SAT Iggy Pop reflects on Burroughs' extraordinary life with SAT close friends and artists that felt his influence. SAT Contributors include James Grauerholz, Will Self, Victor SAT Bockris, Jean-Jacques Lebel, Genesis P-Orridge and John SAT Waters.

Our SAT apparently insatiable appetites for smoking, drinking and SAT eating are all in the news this week, but where and how SAT should we draw the line between individual freedom and SAT public health? Is it purely a utilitarian calculation; that SAT the consequences are such a drain on the national purse that SAT we can no longer afford the luxury of letting people do what SAT they want? Or does that just reduce the value of our bodies SAT to the lowest common denominator - the bottom line on a SAT balance sheet? And even if we could afford it, should the SAT common good outweigh individual freedom? Is expecting other SAT people to pay for the consequences of our own behaviour SAT immoral? And what if we could invent a cheap and effective SAT pill to allow us to drink as much as we want without SAT suffering a hangover, or eat what we like without the risk SAT of diabetes? We might herald the scientific advance, but SAT would it make us better humans? Is there something morally, SAT as well as corporally corrupting about defiling our bodies SAT with intoxicants and excess? Or does that sound hopelessly SAT Victorian and censorious in an age that has come to prize SAT self-indulgence and hedonism almost as much human rights? SAT Are policies to control our appetites the worst kind of SAT nanny-statism that punishes the responsible and infantilises SAT the rest or a sensible response to a public health crisis?

SUN SUN 06:05 Something Understood b03vcyww (Listen) SUN A Place Called Home SUN SUN It is the most human of instincts - to make a home. To SUN establish a place of security and comfort that comes to SUN express who we are and how we like to live. There is no one SUN way of doing it and, for most, 'home' can mean many SUN different things - not always associated with an actual SUN place, but often connected to people such as loved ones, SUN family and friends. A sense of home can also be connected to SUN the intangible, built up through our own private memories SUN and our sense of self. SUN SUN Mathematician Paul Erdös claimed 'the world is my home' as SUN he spent more than six decades living out of two old SUN battered suitcases, chasing mathematical problems across the SUN globe. Fellow mathematician, Ron Graham, invited Erdös to SUN stay in his New Jersey home. He shares his recollections of SUN this eccentric house guest for whom home was an entirely SUN fluid concept. SUN SUN Through the poems of Tony Connor, the music of PJ Harvey and SUN The Band, John McCarthy also explores the adolescent desire SUN to break free from the claustrophobia of the childhood home, SUN and we hear personal accounts of clearing out those same SUN childhood homes once our parents have died or moved on. SUN SUN John visits the home of Cecil Balmond - designer, architect SUN and engineer. Sri-Lankan born, when Cecil settled in London SUN in the 70s, he found a wreck of a house and made it into his SUN family's home. SUN SUN Cecil reveals what it was like leaving his childhood home to SUN re-establish a sense of home in a new country and city. And SUN he shares the deeply personal recollection of how his SUN understanding of home was redefined after a visit to his SUN native Sri-Lanka coincided with the devastation of the 2004 SUN Tsunami.

SUN SUN 06:35 The Living World b03vzhnj (Listen) SUN Long-Tailed Tits: The Winter Flock SUN SUN Seeing a flock of black and white striped, powder puff pink SUN flanked long-tailed tits bouncing through the grey and brown SUN winter landscape is a cheering sight. Scruffy and bandit SUN faced they are often heard before they are seen with piping SUN calls to keep the flock together. Charging around in family SUN groups these diminutive birds will spend the coldest winter SUN nights roosting together, lined up along a branch jostling SUN for the best position. These groups, determined by behaviour SUN in the breeding season, are essential to winter survival. SUN Adults that were unable to raise a brood themselves help out SUN other more successful family members as currency to spend SUN the winter as part of the flock. Naturalist John Walters SUN takes Chris Sperring to the southern fringes of Dartmoor to SUN introduce him to one particular family group. SUN Produced by Ellie Sans.

SUN SUN It's 30 years since they enthralled the world winning gold SUN at the Winter Olympics in Sarajevo. So memorable, it was SUN truly a "where were you when" moment: the answer for most of SUN us seems to have been in front of the television as 24 SUN million people tuned in to watch their purple chiffoned, SUN passionate, pitch-perfect display. SUN SUN Their enduring partnership is the stuff of sporting legend - SUN British, European, World and Olympic champions - their SUN synchronicity on and off the rink is fascinating. Both SUN brought up in Nottingham, both only children, they took to SUN the ice within a couple of years of each other. Jayne grew SUN up to work as an insurance clerk, Chris was a policeman. SUN They always seemed so normal, so nice, so much like the boy SUN and girl next door. What a neat trick - in reality their SUN originality, training regime and relentless pursuit of SUN perfection has seen them push the boundaries of their chosen SUN sport to rank among the world's elite. SUN SUN Part of our fascination with them also stems from the long SUN scrutiny over their personal relationship. Never mind that SUN over the decades they've both married other people and had SUN children, as recently as last year they finally admitted to SUN a brief teenage 'dabble'. SUN SUN They say, "It's an unusual relationship that we have. ... Of SUN course we love each other. You wouldn't be able to do all SUN that we do without love." SUN SUN Producer: Cathy Drysdale.

SUN SUN 13:30 When Cassius Met The Beatles b00r8b1k (Listen) SUN The tale of an unexpected encounter between 20th century SUN legends - a meeting which created a new template for global SUN celebrity. SUN SUN February 1964: The Beatles fly into Miami, sparking SUN Beatlemania as they prepare to perform on The Ed Sullivan SUN Show. SUN SUN Meanwhile in a low-rent Miami gym, the underdog Cassius Clay SUN trains to fight reigning champion Sonny Liston for the world SUN title. The pundits say Clay hasn't a hope. Quite SUN unexpectedly, the paths of these legendary figures cross. SUN SUN British photographer Harry Benson arranges for The Beatles SUN to visit Cassius Clay in the gym. Clay picks up Ringo and SUN swings him around the ring as if he's no heavier than a SUN toddler, as the other band-members lie at his feet. Clay SUN pretends to knock all four Beatles down with a single punch. SUN The resulting images remain in the memory long after this SUN brief encounter. SUN SUN The Beatles triumph on TV. Cassius Clay amazes all the SUN boxing writers by defeating Liston. They suddenly both find SUN themselves on the cusp of a new kind of stardom - they're SUN young, outspoken and able to capture the global imagination. SUN SUN John Wilson reports from Miami on the background to this SUN unique encounter, with the memories of three people who were SUN there at the time: photographer Harry Benson, who was SUN travelling with the Beatles, writer Robert Lipsyte, who was SUN covering the fight for the New York Times as a rookie SUN reporter, and fight doctor Ferdie Pacheco, then working at SUN the gym in Miami. All witnessed the moment when Cassius met SUN The Beatles. John also taps the memories of Paul McCartney. SUN SUN Producer John Goudie.

SUN SUN We send Bob Flowerdew back to the classroom to find out how SUN students are engaging with the delights of horticulture - SUN and James Wong visits Thanet Earth, Kent to ask whether it SUN is possible to grow tomatoes throughout the winter. SUN SUN Produced by Howard Shannon. SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4 SUN SUN This week's questions: SUN SUN Q. The new growth on the Laurel hedge is beautiful. However, SUN after a short while a powder appears on it and the leaves SUN curl up. Could the panel explain what the powder might be? SUN SUN A. It's likely to be powdery mildew. On Laurels it often SUN causes little patches on the leaves to die and drop away SUN making the leaves look moth-eaten. It is common on Laurel SUN due to their dense build, which means there is poor air SUN circulation and the muggy air is ideal for powdery mildew. SUN Powdery mildew infections are worse in dry soil. Try SUN layering mulch around the base of the hedge. SUN SUN Q. Could the panel suggest plants for my small west-facing SUN garden. I would like them to require little maintenance, be SUN scented and attract butterflies and wildlife? SUN SUN A. Buddleia is easy, tough and butterflies love it. Try a SUN Daphne Transatlantica Eternal Fragrance as it flowers from SUN spring all the way through until the end of the summer. SUN Another recommendation is the Ceanothus Puget Blue which is SUN very popular with bees and smells fabulous. SUN SUN Q. Is the freezer a good place to keep seeds? SUN SUN A. Bob prefers a dead fridge, as they are the perfect SUN temperature. He would not recommend putting tender seeds in SUN the freezer but hardy seeds should be fine however there are SUN no obvious benefits from doing so. Pippa would go for a SUN fridge over a freezer - however it is important to note SUN dryness is very important so, if you can, use a separate SUN small fridge. Seeds you know to be poisonous should not be SUN kept in your fridge or freezer. SUN SUN Q. Sheep Sorrel has invaded my lawn. How do I get rid of it SUN without using chemicals and how affective are it's seeds in SUN causing it to proliferate? SUN SUN A. If you do not want to use chemicals then another way to SUN look at the problem isto think how you can make the grass SUN grow better and out-compete the sorrel. Aerate the soil, SUN feeding the grass and make the climate favour the grass over SUN the Sheep Sorrel. SUN SUN Q. I would like to grow a Fuchsia from seed but my attempts SUN have never been very successful. What is the key to getting SUN a new plant to develop? SUN SUN A. Avoid planting the entire fruit; extract the seed first. SUN Try out different methods of extraction such as extracting SUN or macerating them in water. Try planting the seeds both SUN fresh and after being stored for a couple of months to see SUN which method works best. Fuchsia fruit makes great jam! SUN SUN Q. As a non-vegetable eating allotment holder, could the SUN panel recommend anything weird and wonderful to grow in my SUN greenhouse? SUN SUN A. Oriental vegetables would be great fun to grow, for SUN example Mizuna, Pak choi, Garlic and Onions. Try growing SUN peanuts by them in a husk in a pot. Once they begin to grow SUN you will need to move them into a border or an extremely SUN large pot because the flowers push themselves into the SUN ground. Dig them up in the autumn. A final suggestion would SUN be Lemongrass. Look for pieces with a stub on the bottom and SUN place them in a glass of water on a windowsill. Once it has SUN grown roots simply pot it up.

Her disappointment in Francis Arabin SUN has increased, as he seems to be more interested in the SUN tantalising Madeline Neroni. Unknown to Eleanor, Madeline is SUN encouraging her brother, Bertie, to pursue Eleanor too. And SUN on top of all this, there are still two unanswered SUN questions: who will be Warden of Hiram's Hospital and who SUN will replace the old Dean if he dies? SUN SUN The Barchester Chronicles is Anthony Trollope's much-loved SUN series of witty, gently satirical stories of provincial life SUN set within the fictional cathedral town of Barchester and SUN the surrounding county of Barsetshire. With a focus on the SUN lives, loves and tribulations of the local clergy and rural SUN gentry, the canvas is broad and colourful, with a wonderful SUN set of iconic characters whose lives we become intimately SUN involved in as they grow up, grow old and fall in or out of SUN love and friendship across the years.

SUN SUN Founded by the Arabian scholar Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab, SUN this form of Salafi Islam sought to purify the religion by SUN returning to its original principles. Ibn Abd al-Wahab was SUN part of a broader Muslim reform movement which promoted a SUN return to the texts of the Quran and Hadith and, SUN controversially, questioned the teachings of Islamic SUN scholars of the day, who formed part of a chain of knowledge SUN stretching back centuries. SUN SUN What is said to be a very literal translation of Islam is SUN now an inspiration for modern-day Muslim hardliners, who SUN view a binary world of believers and non-believers, strict SUN social rules and adherence to Sharia law - but how close is SUN this to the teachings of Ibn Abd al-Wahhab? SUN SUN CONTRIBUTORS SUN SUN Shaykh Dr Usama Hasan, The Quilliam Foundation SUN SUN Abu Khadeejah, Salafi scholar SUN SUN Prof Natana DeLong-Bas, Boston College, Massachusetts SUN SUN Prof Madawi Al-Rasheed, The London School of Economics and SUN Political Science SUN SUN Shaykh Ruzwan Mohammed, Sunni theologian SUN SUN PRODUCER: RICHARD FENTON-SMITH.

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 She explores with those who use the cloak of anonymity - MON including whistleblowers, authors and medical practitioners MON - the benefits which concealing your identity can confer.

Some birds MON travel even further to the Arctic Circle, and so on the MON summer solstice, Chris takes a 3 hour ferry journey from the MON mainland to the island of Grimsey which lies on the Arctic MON Circle to record some of these remarkable migrants. MON Scientists are becoming increasingly concerned about the MON number of breeding colonies which have failed in Iceland in MON the past decade and Chris hears about the reasons why and MON what steps need to be taken to help the situation. Often MON called Sea Swallows because of their overall shape long tail MON feathers, Arctic terns are very protective of their eggs and MON young and aggressive as Chris discovers when he tries to MON record in their colony. He also comes across Arctic terns MON inland at Lake Myvatn, the 'Lake of Flies' "and its very MON aptly named. I had to wear a head net in June as tens of MON thousands of flies swarmed around me the moment I set foot MON outdoors" . After recording the haunting songs of red MON throated divers, long tailed ducks and black-tailed godwits, MON Chris watches Arctic terns swooping down to pick off flies MON along the road which the adults can feed on. The programme MON also reveals how with the latest technology scientists have MON gained a fascinating insight into the exact migration routes MON of these birds; "We discovered new stopover areas, we MON discovered a new southern route but overall the sheer scale MON of this migration was what was most impressive to us " says MON Iain Stenhouse, one the scientists working on this project.

In 1964, he predicted the possible existence TUE of a new kind of boson but, at the time, there was little TUE interest in his boson. And in the years that followed, Peter TUE Higgs says, he was 'looking in the wrong place for the TUE application'. TUE TUE Three years later, the Higgs mechanism was shown to be TUE central to the new Standard Model of TUE Physics, which brings together three of the four fundamental TUE forces of nature and has dominated physics ever since. Higgs TUE met one of the key architects of the Standard Model several TUE times, but they failed to realise they were working on the TUE same thing. He particularly regrets one night at physics TUE summer camp when he decided to go to bed early. The others TUE meantime stayed up all night working up The Standard Model. TUE TUE The seventies was an exciting time for particle physics but TUE Higgs says he 'struggled to keep up'. TUE His PhD was in a different field and he says he 'lacked TUE technical competency'. He says work pressure contributed to TUE the breakdown of his marriage and that perhaps he suffered a TUE personality change in the mid-sixties when he realised his TUE research might be on to something good and started working TUE harder. TUE TUE Four decades and several billion pounds on, scientists at TUE the Large Hadron Collider at CERN confirmed that the Higgs TUE boson had indeed been found and Peter Higgs shot to fame. TUE TUE This ephemeral speck of elusive energy is now so well-known TUE it's featured in car adverts and countless jokes. There's TUE even song by Nick Cave called the Higgs Boson Blues. But TUE Higgs has always called it the 'scalar boson' and remains TUE embarrassed that it is named after only him. TUE TUE Three different research groups, working independently, TUE published very similar papers in 1964 describing what's now TUE known as the Higgs mechanism. And Higgs remains surprised TUE that another British physicist, Tom Kibble from Imperial TUE College, London didn't share the 2013 Nobel Prize for TUE Physics along with him and Belgian physicist, Francois TUE Englert. TUE TUE "[Kibble] wrote a longer paper which was really very TUE important in generalising the sort of thing I had written in TUE '64 ", says Higgs. TUE TUE Peter Higgs found physics boring, as it was taught at TUE school. He was going to be an engineer, like his father, but TUE was clumsy in the lab and, he says, became a theoretical TUE physicist 'by default'. TUE TUE When the 2013 Nobel Prize winners were announced, many TUE assumed Higgs was blissfully unaware that he might win or TUE just not that interested. In fact, he left the house quite TUE deliberately that morning fully expecting the Nobel TUE Committee to call. TUE TUE These days, he's constantly stopped in the street and asked TUE for autographs and photographs which, he says, is 'nice but TUE a bit of a nuisance'. TUE TUE Producer: Anna Buckley.

TUE After calving, the whales migrate north from these lower TUE latitudes to their high latitude, summer feeding grounds. TUE In June, wildlife sound recordist Chris Watson travelled to TUE Husavik on the north coast of Iceland where he joined a TUE whale watching trip to look for Humpback whales on their TUE feeding grounds - and perhaps even see some of the same TUE animals which he had recorded on their breeding grounds TUE earlier in the year. TUE For many years scientists thought that male humpbacks whales TUE only sing on their breeding grounds but in Iceland, Marianne TUE Rasmussen and her PhD student have recorded whales singing TUE on their feeding grounds in winter during the past four TUE years. This has also been observed elsewhere, and one theory TUE is that these are young immature whales singing. The songs TUE of Humpback whales are quite astonishing; "gorgeous peals of TUE sound, sounded like everything that a cello can do .. and TUE organised as though it were part of a song" says Katy Payne TUE who studied the evolving nature of these songs. The whales TUE in any single population sing the same song, but the songs TUE gradually evolve and change over time, for reasons which are TUE not fully understood. There is still much debate as to why TUE males sing; one theory is that it's to stimulate the females TUE into oestrous. At Silver Bank, Chris found himself TUE surrounded by whales hanging vertically, head down, TUE motionless in the shallow waters created by a coral TUE platform. When he lowered a pair of hydrophones (underwater TUE microphones) beneath the boat, the clear waters were filled TUE with the beautiful, haunting songs of Humpback whales. TUE Producer Sarah Blunt.

Three chords played in a set TUE sequence over twelve bars. TUE The twelve bar is an American invention. It was originally TUE taken up by rural blues musicians. The first commercial TUE example was W.C. Handy's 'St Louis Blues'. Then it became TUE the staple of the New Orleans jazz repertoire, the big TUE bands, Chicago blues . And in the fifties, just about every TUE other pop song was written around the twelve bar chord TUE sequence. TUE TUE It is also the common ground for musicians who want to get TUE to know each other. You might not know the same songs, but TUE you know a twelve bar, and you jam. It's a musical level TUE playing field. TUE You might not know it but a lot of very familiar songs are TUE twelve bars. Here are twelve: TUE TUE Hound Dog TUE Mustang Sally TUE Can't Buy Me Love TUE Subterranean Homesick Blues TUE Green Onions TUE Making Your Mind Up TUE Folsom Prison Blues TUE Mercy (Duffy) TUE Stormy Monday TUE Money TUE In The Mood TUE Sweet Home Chicago TUE TUE Nick Barraclough has played a few twelve bars in his time.

TUE Ada Colau made the headlines when she called a banker a TUE 'criminal' at a parliamentary hearing into Spain's mortgage TUE crisis. According to Spanish media she is "the best-known TUE representative of popular indignation" in the country. After TUE the hearing, her Twitter following shot up from 8,000 to TUE 100,000. The group she founded, known as the PAH or Platform TUE for People Affected by Mortgages, has blocked hundreds of TUE evictions of families unable to keep up with their mortgage TUE payments. Supporters are encouraged to embarrass government TUE officials by haranguing them outside their own homes. Ada TUE was driven to set up the organisation and challenge Spain's TUE draconian mortgage laws after a number of indebted TUE homeowners committed suicide. But the governing party has TUE accused the PAH of extremism and was outraged when it got a TUE prize last year from the European Parliament. A few months TUE later the government drafted strict new laws against TUE unauthorized protests. Ada Colau is not deterred. "Either we TUE disobey," she wrote on her Twitter account, "or we accept TUE slavery." Lucy travels to Barcelona to meet Ada and some of TUE the distressed homeowners she has helped. They also visit a TUE bank, which was invaded by members of PAH and is now home to TUE families evicted from their former homes. TUE Producer: Mark Savage.

TUE TUE Director Orson Welles was asked to write his life story in TUE his later years. He declined but was convinced by his friend TUE Henry Jaglom to discuss his life over a weekly lunch at TUE their favourite Hollywood restaurant, Ma Maison. The TUE hundreds of tapes, recorded from 1983 to 1985, reveal TUE extraordinary, frank, conversations between Welles and the TUE independent director Jaglom. TUE TUE The tapes gathered dust in a shoebox in the corner of TUE Jaglom's production office for over thirty years - until TUE now, but this programme provides an opportunity to hear the TUE amazing material they contain for the first time. TUE TUE Welles talks intimately, disclosing personal secrets and TUE reflecting on the people of the time. At times the tapes TUE display the great film maker as a world champion grudge TUE keeper, rather different from the amiable character who TUE appeared in interviews when he was alive. As we hear, he TUE hated the way Charlton Heston always called Touch of Evil TUE (directed by Welles) a 'minor film'. Welles also found the TUE work of fellow directors, Woody Allen, Charlie Chaplin and TUE Alfred Hitchcock, difficult to embrace. But, as we hear, he TUE had some unexpected enthusiasms. TUE TUE Presenter Christopher Frayling reveals the great director TUE free to be irreverent and Welles is sometimes cynical and TUE romantic, sentimental but never boring, and often wickedly TUE entertaining. The programmes also feature the thoughts of TUE fellow diner Henry Jaglom, film author Peter Biskind, as TUE well as actor and Welles scholar Simon Callow.

He will check out gay websites for WED 'the right guy for the right guy', with hilarious - and WED almost disastrous - consequences.

WED WED In the penultimate episode Sam will propose to Ed, and many WED of the emotional issues round gay marriage and commitment WED will be explored. WED WED At the same time commitment-phobe Peter, now sharing (and WED sparring!) with ex-wife Kate has to confront the possibility WED that he may still have feelings for her.

WED WED The series follows Elizabeth, a Community Psychiatric Nurse WED in her forties, into the homes of her patients (or Service WED Users in today's jargon). It recounts their humorous, sad WED and often bewildering daily interactions with the nurse, WED whose job is to assess their progress, dispense their WED medication and offer comfort and support. WED WED Compassionate and caring, Elizabeth is aware that she cannot WED cure her patients, only help them manage their various WED conditions. She visits the following characters throughout WED the series: WED WED Lorrie and Maurice: Lorrie, in her fifties, is of Caribbean WED descent and has schizophrenia. Lorrie's life is made WED tolerable by her unshakeable faith in Jesus, and Maurice, WED who has a crush on her and wants to do all he can to help. WED So much so that he ends up getting on everyone's nerves. WED WED Billy: Billy feels safer in jail than outside, a state of WED affairs the nurse is trying to rectify. She is hampered by WED the ubiquitous presence of Billy's mate, Tony. WED WED Graham: in his forties, is morbidly obese due to an eating WED disorder. Matters aren't helped by his mum 'treating' him to WED sugary and fatty snacks at all times. WED WED Ray: is bipolar and a rock and roll survivor from the WED Sixties. It is not clear how much of his 'fame' is simply a WED product of his imagination. WED WED Phyllis: in her seventies, has Alzheimer's. She is sweet, WED charming and exasperating.

WED WED Director Orson Welles was asked to write his life story in WED his later years. He declined but was convinced by his friend WED Henry Jaglom to discuss his life over a weekly lunch at WED their favourite Hollywood restaurant, Ma Maison. The WED hundreds of tapes, recorded from 1983 to 1985, reveal WED extraordinary, frank, conversations between Welles and the WED independent director Jaglom. WED WED The tapes gathered dust in a shoebox in the corner of WED Jaglom's production office for over thirty years - until WED now, but this programme provides an opportunity to hear the WED amazing material they contain for the first time. WED WED Welles talks intimately, disclosing personal secrets and WED reflecting on the people of the time. At times the tapes WED display the great film maker as a world champion grudge WED keeper, rather different from the amiable character who WED appeared in interviews when he was alive. As we hear, he WED hated the way Charlton Heston always called Touch of Evil WED (directed by Welles) a 'minor film'. Welles also found the WED work of fellow directors, Woody Allen, Charlie Chaplin and WED Alfred Hitchcock, difficult to embrace. But, as we hear, he WED had some unexpected enthusiasms. WED WED Presenter Christopher Frayling reveals the great director WED free to be irreverent and Welles is sometimes cynical and WED romantic, sentimental but never boring, and often wickedly WED entertaining. The programmes also feature the thoughts of WED fellow diner Henry Jaglom, film author Peter Biskind, as WED well as actor and Welles scholar Simon Callow.

THU THU The store in MacDougal St became a focal point for the THU American folk music scene of the time. Bob Dylan writes in THU his memoirs about spending time at the Center, which he THU referred to as "The citadel of Americana Folk Music - like THU an ancient chapel". Dylan met Dave Van Ronk in the store, THU and Izzy Young produced Dylan's first concert at Carnegie THU Chapter Hall in 1961. Dylan wrote a song about the store and THU Young called "Talking Folklore Center". THU THU After developing an interest in Swedish folk music at a THU festival, Young closed his New York store and in 1973 he THU moved to Stockholm where he opened the Folklore Centrum, THU where he still works seven days a week. THU THU Making a rare return to New York, 40 years since he first THU left, Izzy joins Seth on the steps of 110 MacDougal St in THU Greenwich Village - the site of his original Folklore Center THU - to reminisce about the evocative days in the late 50s and THU early 60s when, as Bob Dylan recalls, "Folk music glittered THU like a mound of gold". THU THU Wandering up MacDougal Street to Washington Square Park, THU Izzy describes the events of April 1961, when 'Folkies' THU staged what would later be referred to as 'the first protest THU action of the 60s'. When city officials tried to ban folk THU musicians from performing in the square, Izzy was the main THU organiser of a protest that resulted in clashes with local THU police. The protestors eventually won their legal battle THU with the city and music has been permitted in the square THU ever since. THU THU Producer: Des Shaw THU A Ten Alps production for BBC Radio 4.

THU Christian Troadec is the gruff Breton mayor who has struck a THU blow for independence from a revenue-hungry French state. THU Carhaix, his town of 15,000 people, has been called ground THU zero in the revolt of the red caps - named after Breton THU bonnets rouges who led a protest in the 17th century. In THU those days the revolt was against the levies imposed by THU Louis XIV, the Sun King, to finance his war against the THU Dutch. Nearly 340 years later, people in Brittany have THU donned their bonnets rouges once more to fight taxes THU imposed, not by a king, but by President Francois Hollande THU and his socialist government. They joke it is the new THU 'guerre de Hollande' and the red caps include farmers, THU fishermen, traders, shopkeepers and workers. The last straw THU for many was the hated "ecotax" on lorries. Trucking is THU essential for the transport of agricultural products in this THU agricultural region. The government hopes it has bought off THU dissent with a new Chinese-owned dairy factory but Troadec THU says the bonnet rouges will not be so easily placated. Lucy THU Ash visits the mayor in his stronghold to hear about his THU next move - a congress in March designed to air Brittany's THU many grievances with Paris. THU Producer: Mark Savage.

THU THU In March of 2006 Clare Balding went rambling with Rosie THU Barrett and her two children, Rachael and Rob. They took her THU on their local walk around the Avon Estuary in south Devon. THU It had always been part of their lives, as a route for THU venting teenage tantrums or simply as a ramble to the pub, THU but after Rosie's other son, Hugh, died of cancer at the age THU of 19 the walk took on a deeper significance. The family, THU and a hundred others, planted trees in Hugh's memory on a THU nearby hillside and a new section of the walk was created THU through dense woodland. THU THU For this programme Clare revisits Rachael and Rosie and THU follows the same route. Rob can't make it this time, but in THU his place is Jonno, Rosie's husband.

But this is the former site of one of England's FRI most infamous lunatic asylums, the Middlesex County Pauper FRI Lunatic Asylum at Colney Hatch. At its peak, this asylum FRI housed nearly 3,000 patients - including, in the late 1980s, FRI Barbara Taylor herself. FRI FRI Writing about The Last Asylum, Booker prize winner and FRI memoirist, Hilary Mantel said, ''We believe our response to FRI mental illness is more enlightened, kinder and effective FRI than that of the Victorians who built the asylums. Can we be FRI sure? Barbara Taylor challenges complacency, exposes shallow FRI thinking, and points out the flaws and dangers of treatment FRI on the cheap. It is a wise, considered and timely book'. FRI FRI Darian Leader has described it as 'Superb, Riveting, FRI insightful and relentlessly honest'. FRI FRI Episode 5: FRI Gradually perspective returns, 'something inside me shifts'.

FRI FRI The United Kingdom, 2014. In the year Scotland decides FRI whether it should stay or it should go, the concept of the FRI Welsh leaving the UK and going it alone seems both distant - FRI and to some people, not least in Wales itself - almost FRI laughable. England and Wales, Wales and England, the odd FRI couple, conjoined and bickering together forever - much to FRI the disgruntlement of many in both nations. FRI FRI But what if Welsh independence wasn't a ridiculous idea? How FRI would an independent Wales go about its business if - like FRI the likes of say, Latvia, Montenegro or Slovenia - the Welsh FRI were to make the leap into independence? FRI FRI If he's perfectly honest, Gareth's never really thought FRI about it. He's certainly no freedom-fighting, rabble-rousing FRI modern-day Owain Glyndwr (plus, he's a quarter Maltese, and FRI to be perfectly honest, the weather's better there). FRI FRI But with every comic and his dog making gags about Scotland FRI 'staying together for the sake of the Welsh' - and Radio 4 FRI having plopped a small-but-significant sum of money onto his FRI filthy desk - he's been doing a bit of, well, *research*. FRI FRI Gareth's been out and about speaking to economists, FRI historians, sociologists, military men and the Proud Welsh FRI Public (TM) to find out what we'd need to do - good, bad and FRI ugly - to make Wales into a nation state - and whether it's FRI a good idea... FRI FRI As he makes a depressingly regular trip on a cheapo coach FRI from London to Cardiff, Gareth recounts to us what he's FRI discovered: a manifesto of how Wales might secede - a FRI realistic yet sometimes painful plan for the economy, the FRI military, sport, culture, even the royal family.

FRI Tetiana Chronvol, a Ukrainian opposition journalist, was FRI brutally attacked after her car was forced off the side of FRI the road on Christmas Day. The beating took place just hours FRI after the publication of an article she wrote on the assets FRI of top government officials. Chornovol believes she was FRI targeted for exposing government corruption and for writing FRI about two of the lavish residences she claims belong to FRI President Viktor Yanukovych. She had played a leading role FRI in the ongoing pro-EU protests in Maidan Square, climbing on FRI trucks and urging crowds to occupy the city council building FRI in Kiev. Her critics claim she is more an activist with ties FRI to nationalist parties than an objective observer of the FRI Ukrainian political scene. Lucy Ash talks to her while she FRI recovers from her injuries and finds out what she is FRI planning to do next. FRI Producer: Mark Savage.

FRI FRI When Rhys's elderly Uncle Bryn has a heart attack while FRI listening to the shipping forecast, it seems like another FRI routine death at Ivyday Nursing Home. But when Rhys and Gwen FRI go to collect the old man's effects, Gwen's suspicions are FRI roused by another elderly resident. The conversation is cut FRI short, though, by a fire alarm, one of many consequences of FRI the mysterious power cuts that are sweeping the nation. Gwen FRI has a hunch that something is wrong and her search leads her FRI to Miss Carew, a suspiciously fit and strong octogenarian FRI who, despite having supposedly terminal heart disease, has FRI left Ivyday and gone back to work at the Computer firm she FRI used to run. Miss Carew has been offered a deal by Fitzroy, FRI a wandering alien with an aversion to electricity who is FRI looking for a home. It's a deal that Miss Carew can't FRI refuse.
