SAT SAT 00:30 Book of the Week b042bjzl (Listen) SAT The Valley, Episode 5 SAT SAT Abridged from Richard Benson's epic family saga The Valley, SAT the focus of this Book of the Week is on the story of the SAT author's grandmother - Winnie Hollingworth (1909 - 2002) - SAT and her life in the mining villages of the Dearne Valley in SAT South Yorkshire. SAT SAT This remarkable social history draws on years of research, SAT interviews and anecdote which chart generations of carousing SAT and banter, tears and fights all set against the background SAT of a close-knit community where almost everybody worked SAT either in the mines or the mills. SAT SAT Richard Benson's first book, THE FARM which related the SAT story of his own parents and brother and their livelihood in SAT the Yorkshire Wolds was described as ' an extraordinary SAT mixture of hardness and tenderness, wit and slog.. wonderful SAT ' Ronald Blythe author of Akenfield. It went on to be a no.1 SAT bestseller. SAT SAT This new book is a powerful and moving achievement - it SAT follows Winnie from her first romantic encounter: 'her heart SAT beating hard and fast down in her whalebone and elastic' to SAT her final years sitting in the lounge of a long rubber-tiled SAT room with high-backed chairs around the walls.. ' where 'the SAT residents either roost mutely or chat while their eyes SAT search the room for a younger person who might play the SAT piano for them.' SAT SAT Ep 5. Children become adults, and Winnie and Harry grow SAT frail, but there are still surprises in store.

SAT SAT 05:43 Prayer for the Day b041yrk9 (Listen) SAT A short reflection and prayer with Andrea Rea. SAT SAT Script - Saturday 3 May 2014 - Andrea Rea SAT SAT Good morning SAT SAT It is the time of year when many towns and cities hold music SAT festivals, with competitions for solo singing, instrumental SAT music, orchestras, choirs and so on. Recently, I was SAT adjudicating at a festival in a small town in Northern SAT Ireland. Whenever I have to ‘sit in judgement’ as it were, SAT over children who come to play or sing in these, I’m SAT reminded of my days as a music teacher in another town. The SAT festival programme there always had a quote on the front SAT cover by the musician and broadcaster Sir Henry Walford SAT Davies: It read, " SAT At a festival, competitors do not set out to beat each SAT other, they set out to pace each other on the road to SAT perfection SAT ". I used it at the time to instruct my own pupils about the SAT way to look at their own participation in festivals and SAT competitions, and I think about it now, when awarding prizes SAT one musician or another. That very useful quote helped my SAT students to be less nervous when competing onstage at a SAT Festival, and it helps me now to see my role not in terms of SAT making final judgements, but marking progress on that SAT illusive, imaginary road to perfection. The best result, I SAT think, is when a young musician plays from the heart and SAT somehow conveys part of themselves in the music; unique and SAT joyous. I think I’m with the artist Salvador Dali on this- SAT he said "Have no fear of perfection; you’ll never reach it". SAT To that I would add "but you can have a lot of fun trying". SAT And that goes a long way. SAT SAT Lord God of our imperfect world, help us to see perfection SAT in the irregular and chaotic details of our everyday lives, SAT and let our striving be towards grace in both triumph and SAT defeat, in whatever we do.

SAT SAT As a haven for rare plant species, it's been classed as one SAT of the top three botanical sites in England and with SAT peregrine falcons circling overhead and goats roaming the SAT land below, you could be forgiven for thinking you are in SAT the most wild of rural landscapes - but in reality you are SAT just a stone's throw from Bristol's City Centre. SAT SAT Felicity meets with botanist and rock climber Libby Houston, SAT who for over 30 years has explored the craggy edges of the SAT Avon Gorge, identifying and even discovering rare plant SAT species - one of which, 'Houston's White Beam', bears her SAT name. SAT SAT Further along the gorge Felicity joins Ben Scouse as he does SAT his daily check on his six 'hairy conservationists' SAT otherwise known as the six billy goats who have been bought SAT in to graze the land in order to support the cultivation of SAT the rare plants. SAT SAT Looking upwards, author and naturalist Ed Drewitt takes SAT Felicity peregrine spotting and reveals their history with SAT the gorge and their royal connections and finally, Merchant SAT Venturer Francis Greenacre explains how this land - so close SAT to a city - came to be preserved as a wild and wonderful SAT open space.

Sticking out from a hedge in rural Sussex SAT is a brown-paper package containing a painting of 6 apples, SAT Cézanne's famous 'Pommes'. It's been left there by the SAT economist John Maynard Keynes, who's been dropped at the end SAT of the lane leading to his friends, the artists Clive and SAT Vanessa Bell's home, and can only manage to carry his SAT suitcases. SAT SAT Writer and broadcaster Nicholas Wapshott tells the SAT extraordinary and largely unknown story of how Keynes SAT persuaded the British government to take paintings in lieu SAT of France's war debt. So as shells rained down on Paris, SAT Keynes was buying priceless works by Manet, Delacroix, SAT Degas, Gauguin and many more which now hang in the National SAT Gallery and the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge. The National SAT Gallery didn't rate Cézanne so Keynes kept 'Pommes' for SAT himself and later hung it over his bed. SAT SAT Contributors include Nicholas Penny, Director of the SAT National Gallery, Stephen Keynes (the economist's great SAT nephew) and Keynes expert Victoria Chick.

SAT SAT 19:15 Saturday Review b042cq8r (Listen) SAT Comics at the British Library; Sunny Afternoon; the Kinks SAT musical; Edward St Aubyn's latest novel; Tom Hollander as SAT Dylan Thomas SAT SAT The exhibition Comics Unmasked: Art and Anarchy in The UK at SAT The British Library looks back at nearly 2 centuries of SAT comic book art in this country. Looking at and reflecting SAT the social mores of their time, they provide an insight into SAT the society that created them. What insight will our SAT reviewers gain? SAT SAT Edward St Aubyn's newest novel tells the story of the jury SAT judging the Elysian Prize for Literature. If you've not SAT heard of it, that's because it doesnt exist. The book SAT includes extracts from novels nominated for the award, but SAT does this satire skewer or flatter the world of literary SAT prizes? SAT SAT Sunny Afternoon is a musical based around the songs and SAT career of The Kinks - a hugely influential group of the 60s SAT and 70s. The world of juke box musicals - trying to SAT shoe-horn a pop performer's catalogue into a slight SAT narrative - has proved a popular and easy device in the SAT past, with mixed success. How can this musical play at SAT London's Hampstead Theatre successfully get around the SAT potential pitfalls? SAT SAT Blue Ruin is an award-winning independent US film; a SAT gruesome revenge story following a normally placid modest SAT man who seeks retribution on the killer of his parents. But SAT it all spirals rapidly out of control. SAT SAT In the centenary year of Welsh poet's Dylan Thomas birth, A SAT Poet in New York is part of BBC Wales' coverage to mark the SAT occasion. It's a distinctly unflattering portrayal of SAT Thomas' last few days, drunk and fatally ill in an SAT unfamiliar city. But does it capture his genius?

Until his death in 2013, he was also a SAT contradiction. As a young man he stood up for the underdog, SAT and challenged local council slum clearance plans in the St SAT Annes district of his adopted home, Nottingham. And he was SAT always a significant campaigner for gay rights in the UK. SAT But in 1979 he voted for Margaret Thatcher, regretting it SAT afterwards. He was eccentric and - for some - difficult to SAT work with. But he remained popular in the street, and on the SAT public transport he always used. It often seemed his SAT broadcasting work might dry up, but he kept re-inventing SAT himself. Never having cared about money, he went bankrupt SAT after his partner died in the late 1990s, then lost his SAT house, but made award-winning TV documentaries about his SAT predicament. When his career finally imploded in 2010, after SAT making false admissions of "mercy" killing on television, SAT people far and wide wondered: why? While this programme SAT cannot claim to know the real answer, it identifies the SAT inner conflicts and flaws that made Ray Gosling's talent - SAT his voice - so original in the first place. SAT SAT In this programme, writer and publisher of Ray's work, Mark SAT Hodkinson, talks to people who knew Ray Gosling best, SAT including his sister Juliet, his friends in Nottingham, SAT London and Manchester, and people who worked with him, in SAT the BBC and ITV. We hear about his bohemian and rackety SAT life, starting as a teddy boy in the 1950s and a habitue of SAT Soho in the 60s - and his relationships with, among others, SAT Brian Epstein, T.S. Eliot, Joe Orton, Beryl Bainbridge, SAT Francis Bacon and Colin MacInnes. And we rediscover Ray's SAT voice in the words he spoke and wrote, from his earliest SAT published work in books like Sum Total to the broadcast work SAT in which he found the extraordinary in "ordinary" people and SAT places, in programmes he made for BBC radio including Who SAT Owns Britain, Gosling In The High Street, and Semi Detached SAT From Reality, and television, including Two Town Mad, On SAT Site, Bankrupt and Ray Gosling: OAP.

SAT SAT Coming this week from Aberystwyth University, "The 3rd SAT Degree" is a funny, lively and dynamic quiz show aimed at SAT cultivating the next generation of Radio 4 listeners whilst SAT delighting the current ones. SAT SAT The Specialist Subjects in this episode are Welsh Literature SAT & Folklore, Information Management and Art History and the SAT questions involve alien visitations, a mechanical lifesize SAT doll, a perfect circle, a shark, some scorpions and Swedish SAT massage. SAT SAT The show is recorded on location at a different University SAT each week, and it pits three Undergraduates against three of SAT their Professors in a genuinely original and fresh take on SAT an academic quiz. Being a Radio 4 programme, it of course SAT meets the most stringent standards of academic rigour - but SAT with lots of facts and jokes thrown in for good measure. SAT SAT Together with host Steve Punt, the show tours the (sometimes SAT posh, sometimes murky, but always welcoming!) Union SAT buildings, cafés and lecture halls of six universities SAT across the UK. SAT SAT The rounds vary between Specialist Subjects and General SAT Knowledge, quickfire bell-and-buzzer rounds and the SAT 'Highbrow & Lowbrow' round cunningly devised to test not SAT only the students' knowledge of current affairs, history, SAT languages and science, but also their Professors' awareness SAT of television, film, and One Direction... In addition, the SAT Head-to-Head rounds, in which students take on their SAT Professors in their own subjects, were particularly lively, SAT and offered plenty of scope for mild embarrassment on both SAT sides... SAT SAT The resulting show is funny, fresh, and not a little bit SAT surprising, with a truly varied range of scores, friendly SAT rivalry, and moments where students wished they had more SAT than just glanced at that reading list... SAT SAT In this series, the universities are Bristol, Kent, SAT Bedfordshire, Birmingham, Nottingham & Aberystwyth.

The dead SUN included Protestants, Catholics and a Mormon. The blast wave SUN was so powerful that the bodies of several victims were SUN never found. SUN SUN The bombing was "a barbaric act intended to wreck Ireland's SUN aspirations for peace and reconciliation," said President SUN Clinton who came to walk amongst the wreckage. Only four SUN months earlier Northern Ireland's main political parties had SUN signed up to the Good Friday agreement, power sharing was on SUN its way and the Provisional IRA was on ceasefire.

The murder rate is among the highest SUN in the world. The economic inequality is visible wherever SUN you go. Behind the happy cultural imagery there lies a much SUN darker Brazil, the result of an extremely dark colonial SUN history when this land was little more than a giant farm SUN worked by slaves. SUN SUN In The Invention of Brazil, Misha Glenny traces the gaps SUN between the image and reality, beginning with the arrival of SUN the Portuguese in 1500. More slaves were transported to SUN Brazil than anywhere else, more than the United States, more SUN than anywhere. SUN SUN "There were many Africans who served as interpreters," Joao SUN Reis explains, "who could tell the slaves: 'You are not SUN going to be eaten by those whites'. And that was the African SUN fear - that they were being brought to an unknown world by SUN whites where they would be eaten." SUN SUN Misha Glenny and producer Miles Warde travel from the favela SUN of Rocinha in Rio de Janeiro up the coast to Salvador, the SUN first capital of Brazil, and then back to Sao Paulo, SUN economic powerhouse of the south.

Answering local gardeners' questions are SUN Chris Beardshaw, Pippa Greenwood and Anne Swithinbank. SUN SUN Produced by Howard Shannon SUN Assistant producer: Darby Dorras. SUN A Somethin' Else Production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN Q. What can I do to give my paved front garden the 'wow' SUN factor? SUN A. If you have any areas of soil, you could plant something SUN woody like a Caryopteris. You could plant a Pieris in a SUN container. You could also plant a Sparmannia or a Purple Yam SUN (a kind of Diasporia) or Pennesetum grasses. SUN SUN Q. Does the panel think that I could cut my box hedges SUN (Buxus Sempervirens) down to about 4 to 6 inches (10-15 cm) SUN from 15 inches (38cm)? SUN A. The Box will come back from very hard pruning, but Box SUN can suffer from box blight. When pruning you must ensure SUN that the foliage is thoroughly wet and the tools used are SUN all clean and sterile. Prune when the plant is actively SUN growing, and it's a good idea to prune one side of the hedge SUN per season to give the plant a better chance of surviving SUN the trim. SUN SUN 3) Q. I have tried growing Acanthas and have good leaf SUN growth, but no flower growth. Could the panel suggest the SUN best growing conditions for this plant? SUN A. If you grow the plant in a smaller container or a smaller SUN area, this will help encourage flower growth. Ensure the SUN plant is kept moist (but with good drainage) and is exposed SUN to lots of sunshine. You could also use high-pot-ash feed to SUN encourage growth and try growing the plant in calcium rich SUN soil. SUN SUN 4) Q. Is the growth of Mistletoe on an elderly Medlar Tree SUN (Mespilus Germanica) harming the growth of the tree? If so, SUN what is the best method of getting rid of it? SUN A. The Mistletoe won't cause too much damage so long as the SUN growth is proportional to the tree. If you harvest the SUN Mistletoe in the proportions that you harvest the fruits of SUN the Medlar tree, a balance will be achieved. SUN SUN 5) Q. Will planting more fruit trees in a fruit cage keep SUN the weeds away? SUN A. Yes, you could plant some Cherries, Golden Gages, Plums, SUN Rhubarb, Red Gooseberries (Whinham's Industry is a good SUN variety). You could also have a go at growing Japanese Wine SUN Berry. SUN SUN 6) Q. What does the future hold for a 40ft (12m) high Larch SUN tree, the top 30ft (9m) of which looks dead? SUN A. The dying wood is fabulous for wildlife, so you can let SUN it decay naturally. SUN Be careful of the wood falling, this could be dangerous. If SUN you do wish to prune down to the healthy growth, this will SUN not harm the tree. It might be worth investigating what SUN caused the upper part of the tree to die, this could be a SUN case of phytopthora. SUN SUN 7) Q. Would it cause damage to prune the main stems of a SUN 25-year-old climbing rose in order to encourage growth SUN further down the plant? SUN A. Pruning would be necessary to encourage growth further SUN down the plant. You must prune gradually (a third of the SUN stems each season) and train the fresh growth to create a SUN fan structure. Don't be afraid to be ruthless with the stems SUN you chose to prune. SUN SUN 14:45 The Listening Project b042csf2 (Listen) SUN Fi Glover hears from Devon, Wales and Suffolk about memories SUN of being crowned Queen of the May, calling time on the SUN insidious creep of social media, and nostalgia for pen on SUN paper, all in the Sunday Omnibus of the series that proves SUN it's surprising what you hear when you listen. SUN SUN The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a SUN snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the SUN UK volunteer to have a conversation with someone close to SUN them about a subject they've never discussed intimately SUN before. The conversations are being gathered across the UK SUN by teams of producers from local and national radio stations SUN who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're SUN not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - SUN lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key SUN moment of connection between the participants.

SUN SUN Years ago Jon Broderick, who fishes for salmon in Alaska, SUN visited the famous gathering of cowboy poets in Elko, SUN Nevada. Jon knew, not least from listening to radio traffic SUN between boats on the fishing grounds, that fishermen and SUN women, too, celebrated their way of life, complained about SUN their lot, and sent each other up in verse, song and SUN stories. So, with his friend Jay Speakman he organised the SUN first Fisher Poets Gathering, in Astoria, at the mouth of SUN the Columbia River in Oregon. SUN SUN That was 17 years ago; now for a weekend every February SUN (when the fishing is quiet) fisher poets come from all over SUN America - Florida, Maine, Chesapeake Bay, Alaska. These SUN tough characters, who all know someone who has drowned, SUN stand up and, unembarrassed, completely naturally, read SUN their poems. Hundreds listen: there are sessions in bars and SUN readings all over town. There are workshops, exhibitions, SUN and the community radio station broadcasts proceedings, SUN live. SUN SUN This year, for the first time, a poet came from beyond the SUN United States. Katrina Porteous lives in the Northumbrian SUN fishing village of Beadnell. For years she has worked with, SUN recorded and written about fishing people there. SUN SUN She hears astonishing work: from Dave Densmore, on his boat SUN Cold Stream; from Moe Bowstern, an extraordinarily prolific SUN writer about the lives of fisher women; from Richard King SUN who fishes in Alaska, and farms in Hawaii. She meets, too, SUN Lloyd Montgomery, an Aleut fisher poet. And wherever they SUN are from, Katrina discovers, fisher poets share concerns SUN over sustainability - of fish stocks, their communities, SUN their way of life. SUN SUN 17:00 The Party of No b041xdgt (Listen) SUN When the Democrats and Barack Obama won the US Presidency in SUN 2008 - relatively comfortably - many in the Republican Party SUN were genuinely shocked and they retreated to lick their SUN painful wounds. A new political movement emerged, the Tea SUN Party, which re-invigorated the defeated, demoralized SUN Republicans, the GOP. The Tea Party dedicated itself to SUN complete opposition both to Obama's presidency and to anyone SUN they felt were compromising with the president. SUN Long-standing Republican politicians were removed and many SUN of those who remained shifted to the right, adopting Tea SUN Party rhetoric. Republican opposition, encouraged by the Tea SUN Party, destroyed many of President Obama's hopes in the last SUN six years. In 2013, US federal lawmaking was brought to SUN gridlock, shutdown, and impotence. Now, though, there's a SUN growing sense that the Tea Party is a threat to the GOP's SUN future - that it is weird and backward looking. SUN "Establishment" Republicans are fighting back.

Starring Reece Shearsmith, Julian SUN Rhind-Tutt, Alison Steadman and Katy Wix. SUN SUN On the one hand, Ben is on the trip of a lifetime. On the SUN other, he's trapped in a vast icy landscape with a dodgy SUN internet connection and a dictaphone. Loneliness is SUN something of a problem. So, Ben shares his thoughts with us SUN in the form of an audio 'log'. SUN SUN His fellow scientist Graham should alleviate this sense of SUN isolation, but the tragi-comic fact is, they are nerdy SUN blokes, so they stumble through yet another mumbled SUN exchange. Not to mention the new arrival Jane, who Ben is SUN even more awkward around, for reasons that aren't entirely SUN clear to him. SUN SUN Apart from his research studying the Albatross on the SUN Island, Ben attempts to continue normal life with an SUN earnestness and enthusiasm which is ultimately very SUN endearing. We eavesdrop as he chats awkwardly with Graham or SUN Jane, phones his mother or talks to himself, as he often SUN does.

Sharp new SUN comedy from Frank Skinner returns for a second series. SUN Starring Frank Skinner and Katherine Parkinson. SUN SUN The first series of Don't Start met with instant critical SUN and audience acclaim: "That he can deliver such a heavy SUN premise for a series with such a lightness of touch is SUN testament to his skills as a writer and, given that the SUN protagonists are both bookworms, he's also permitted to use SUN a flourish of fine words that would be lost in his stand-up SUN routines". Jane Anderson, Radio Times. SUN SUN "Writing and starring in the four-parter Don't Start (Radio SUN 4) Frank Skinner gives full rein to his sharp but splenetic SUN comedy. He and his co-star Katherine Parkinson play a SUN bickering couple exchanging acerbic ripostes in a cruelly SUN precise dissection of a relationship". Daily Mail SUN SUN ... "a lesson in relationship ping-pong" - Miranda Sawyer, SUN The Observer. SUN Series 2 follows hard on its heels. Well observed, clever SUN and funny, Don't Start is a scripted comedy with a SUN deceptively simple premise - an argument. Each week, our SUN couple fall out over another apparently trivial flashpoint - SUN the Krankies, toenail trimming and semantics. Each week, the SUN stakes mount as Neil and Kim battle with words. But these SUN are no ordinary arguments. The two outdo each other with SUN increasingly absurd images, unexpected literary references SUN (the Old Testament, Jack Spratt and the first Mrs Rochester, SUN to name a few) and razor sharp analysis of their beloved's SUN weaknesses. Underneath the cutting wit, however, there is an SUN unmistakable tenderness". SUN SUN Frank says: SUN "Having established in the first series that Neil and Kim SUN are a childless academic couple who during their numerous SUN arguments, luxuriate in their own and each other's learning SUN and wit, I've tried in the second series to dig a little SUN deeper into their relationship. Love and affection SUN occasionally splutter into view, like a Higgs boson in a big SUN tunnel-thing, but can such emotions ever prevail in a SUN relationship where the couple prefers to wear their brains, SUN rather than their hearts, on their sleeves? Is that too much SUN offal imagery? SUN SUN Episode 1: The Notebook SUN Frank's apparently innocent discovery of an old notebook SUN strangely rekindles Kim's former enthusiasm for Frisbee SUN throwing.

SUN SUN Three songwriters turn their hand to short story writing for SUN the first time for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN Suranne Jones reads Barb Jungr's heartbreaking story set on SUN the Shetland Islands which takes its title from one of SUN Barb's songs, 'Sunset to Break Your Heart'. SUN Singer-songwriter Barb Jungr has been described as "the best SUN thing to come out of Rochdale since Gracie Fields". She SUN draws on her Czech and German heritage to blend European SUN style with her English roots. Billy Bragg described Jungr as SUN our greatest living interpreter of Dylan songs, and Jeremy SUN Irons chose a Barb Jungr song as one of his Desert Island SUN Discs. SUN SUN Hattie Morahan reads Eliza Carthy's unusual and playful SUN fairy tale, 'The Announcer's Daughter'. Eliza has been SUN nominated for the Mercury Prize twice and grew up immersed SUN in the world of traditional music - her parents are folk SUN legends Martin Carthy and Norma Waterson. She approaches the SUN tradition in new and innovative ways creating utterly SUN contemporary work. SUN SUN You Are Wolf - the artist also known as Kerry Andrew - is a SUN singer, songwriter and composer who specialises in SUN experimental vocal music and uses a loop machine to layer SUN her astonishing voice. For her debut short story she SUN interweaves song and story, singing traditional inspired SUN counterpoints to her story 'One Swallow'.

Their actions are responsible for ripples of fear MON and panic spreading through homes as thousands of youngsters MON prepare for the test that will help seal their academic MON fate. Peter examines the thinking behind the tests and meets MON parents, teachers and pupils as they prepare for them. MON MON For pupils like ten year old Mattie there's a lot resting on MON what goes into the new paper. He started having tutoring a MON few weeks ago and has his heart set on a grammar school MON place in in his home county of Buckinghamshire. To help him MON his Mum has started getting up at 6.30am to serve him MON hot-cross buns and a cup of tea as he works through the MON papers from his tutor. He does an hour before going to MON school and then a couple more hours in the evening. MON MON "I take the test next September and it makes me feel a bit MON nerve racked but I am doing lots of extra homework - in the MON mornings and the afternoon. After school I sometimes go to MON tutoring for an hour and a half or I do my school homework. MON My Mum tries to push me - she says for me to be more MON confident because at the moment my teachers are saying I MON think about the negatives too much and worry too much about MON passing and whether I am good enough." MON MON Mattie is being tutored at Flying Start, in Chesham, in MON Buckinghamshire, where Managing Director, Sian Goodspeed, MON has encountered much apprehension amongst parents about the MON new exam: "but what we're finding is that there is a MON definite benefit for pupils as tutoring for the 11 plus is MON now much more geared to the work they're actually doing in MON school. It makes any extra preparation they're doing far MON more relevant to their studies in general." MON MON Peter meets Val, a mother who was particularly creative when MON it came to preparing her son, Amar, for the new style test. MON She helped him adapt the lyrics of a Katy Perry song to make MON it motivational as they travelled to and from tutoring: MON "When everyone started talking about the new system and it MON being a fairer system and tutor proof, I just laughed. Some MON parents started with the tutors in Year Three - if everyone MON else is tutoring then you need to tutor your child. If MON everyone decided that no one would tutor then it would be a MON fairer system but given everyone else is doing it then we MON have no choice." MON MON For Professor Rob Coe, the Director of the Centre for MON Evaluation and Monitoring at Durham University, the impetus MON for change comes in part from grammar school heads MON themselves. They have repeatedly asked academics to make the MON test fairer because of concerns that some academically able MON youngsters fail the 11 plus and others pass but struggle to MON keep up: their success largely due to tutoring and not MON innate ability. MON MON "There are some principles that we have tried to follow to MON make the test more resistant to the kind of coaching that MON you can pay for - one is making the test less predictable MON and formulaic. What we are trying to do is minimise the MON benefit from lots of practise - one of the ways we do that MON is to make the test unexpected: we have to keep people MON guessing a bit about what's in the content. MON MON "But the test can only do so much in terms of redressing the MON social balance with who gets into grammar school and that is MON beyond our control. We can only do what we can do with MON people who actually take the test. MON MON "We want to broaden the social mix and to make things as MON fair as possible. What is wrong with tutoring is that you MON end up with a group that is not as socially mixed as it MON should be. If coaching brings a big benefit then that's MON harmful to the system as a whole: you get more rich children MON and fewer poor children getting into grammar school. And it MON amplifies the inadequacy that some parents feel who can't MON afford this tutoring.". MON MON 11:30 Secrets and Lattes b042j8y9 (Listen) MON A Paler Shade of White MON MON Episode 5.

MON MON Coming this week from the University of Nottingham, "The 3rd MON Degree" is a funny, lively and dynamic quiz show aimed at MON cultivating the next generation of Radio 4 listeners whilst MON delighting the current ones. MON MON The Specialist Subjects in this episode are British History, MON Management Studies and Philosophy and the questions range MON from the International Monetary Fund., Kierkegaard and MON Wagner to the Fat Slags and Goofy MON MON The show is recorded on location at a different University MON each week, and it pits three Undergraduates against three of MON their Professors in a genuinely original and fresh take on MON an academic quiz. Being a Radio 4 programme, it of course MON meets the most stringent standards of academic rigour - but MON with lots of facts and jokes thrown in for good measure. MON MON Together with host Steve Punt, the show tours the (sometimes MON posh, sometimes murky, but always welcoming!) Union MON buildings, cafés and lecture halls of six universities MON across the UK. MON MON The rounds vary between Specialist Subjects and General MON Knowledge, quickfire bell-and-buzzer rounds and the MON 'Highbrow & Lowbrow' round cunningly devised to test not MON only the students' knowledge of current affairs, history, MON languages and science, but also their Professors' awareness MON of television, film, and One Direction... In addition, the MON Head-to-Head rounds, in which students take on their MON Professors in their own subjects, were particularly lively, MON and offered plenty of scope for mild embarrassment on both MON sides... MON MON The resulting show is funny, fresh, and not a little bit MON surprising, with a truly varied range of scores, friendly MON rivalry, and moments where students wished they had more MON than just glanced at that reading list... MON MON In this series, the universities are Bristol, Kent, MON Bedfordshire, Birmingham, Nottingham & Aberystwyth.

MON MON The Missing Migrant Project works on identifying the MON deceased, piecing together clues found in the personal MON effects collected alongside the decomposed bodies found in MON the desert. MON MON In this programme, the BBC's Mexico correspondent Will Grant MON travels to Tucson, Arizona to meet project co-founder Robin MON Reineke to learn of the challenges facing her office in the MON small southwestern city of Tucson - which has the MON third-highest number of unidentified bodies in the United MON States, after New York and Los Angeles. MON MON Migrant rights groups say the vast expansion of the US MON Border Patrol has exacerbated the problem because the MON heightened policing of the border along traditional urban MON crossing points has forced clandestine border crossers out MON into the wilds of the desert. MON MON Such tough border protection is popular among many American MON voters, especially in conservative border states like MON Arizona and Texas - but some locals have shown sympathy, MON heading out into the desert to leave water, food and MON blankets in the hope of saving the lives of desperate MON migrants. MON MON In Mexico, Crossing Continents also meets the relatives of MON those who have died in the desert, revealing their MON motivations to move north - motivations which they share MON with many men, women and children from across Latin America, MON who are still willing to risk their lives embarking on this MON increasingly dangerous and potentially deadly trip.

MON MON 21:00 Intelligence: Born Smart, Born Equal, Born Different MON b041xbxc (Listen) MON Born Smart MON MON To say one's child might be brighter than the norm is MON obnoxious. To suggest it's genetic, just adds insult to MON injury. To publish scientific findings confirming that the MON reason some children do better than others at school is due MON to differences in their DNA, is controversial. Share these MON findings with Michael Gove's education advisor and, it MON seems, you're asking for trouble. When, at the end of last MON year, scientists did just that, there was a furore: what if MON it leads to streaming at birth, gross inequality, eugenic MON dystopia? MON MON Adam Rutherford charts the rise, fall and rise of scientific MON interest in this area over the last hundred years, picking MON his way through an inordinate amount of historical and MON political baggage to find out why we find it so difficult to MON have a sensible discussion about the genetics of MON intelligence. MON MON At best, he might be told to check his privilege. At worst, MON he'll be a Nazi sympathizer. But for all Adam's liberal MON views, and perhaps because of them, he is determined to MON tackle this elephant in the classroom. MON MON By pretending there are no differences between us, we risk MON other prejudices. Watching children work really hard and MON fail to achieve much academically is painful. At the lower MON end of the intellectual spectrum, there's broad acceptance MON that you don't shout at a child with special needs: "Could MON do better!". But in the middle of a middle class world MON hell-bent on creating little miracles, the notion that there MON are losers as well as winners in the genetic lottery, is not MON welcome. MON Is a deep-seated and morally-upright desire for social MON justice a good reason to avoid a whole area of scientific MON inquiry? Let alone a rather less morally-upright desire for MON there to be no barriers, genetic or otherwise, to the genius MON of one's own children? MON MON Scientists who studied the genetic basis of intelligence in MON the 70s and 80s describe how they were howled down by MON colleagues, accused of being Nazis, and victims of a MON scientific witch-hunt. The main focus of scientific interest MON was on things that could be changed: the environment at home MON or at school, our ability to nurture, not our nature. The MON social not the biological sciences. MON MON Today, there's a renewed interest in our genetic MON inheritance: how it links us to our ancestors or an MON increased risk of cancer. And a tentative resurgence of MON interest in the genetics of intelligence. MON MON One great fear is that the winners in this genetic lottery MON will become ever more advantaged and obnoxious. Not fears MON that were shared by Darwin's half-cousin, Francis Galton, MON who coined the term eugenics. In 1869, he published MON Hereditary Genius, the first scientific study of the MON inheritance of intelligence. Himself a child genius, he MON wondered if his prodigious talent was inherited from his MON very clever ancestors. MON MON Worried by the poor quality of recruits for the Boer War, MON Galton fantasised about a world in which children were MON subjected to countless physical and mental tests. Those who MON were deemed fit were given permission to reproduce, while MON the unfit were sent to labour camps. Not surprising then MON that we are a bit anxious about the science of human MON genetics that he founded. MON MON Today, worried that our children are falling behind in the MON global league tables on academic performance, perhaps we MON have our own fears about degeneration? Meantime, there's a MON renewed interest in standards and measuring in schools and MON in the genetic basis of intelligence. MON MON Producer: Anna Buckley.

TUE TUE There are contributions from musicians who have been members TUE of the Academy for many years, including Tristan Fry and TUE Kenneth Sillito; pianist Murray Perahia, who is the TUE Academy's Principal Guest Conductor; and violinist Joshua TUE Bell, who became Music Director in 2011. Record producer TUE Andrew Keener gives some insights into working with one of TUE the most recorded conductors in history, and Dame Janet TUE Baker describes one of her distinguished recordings with Sir TUE Neville, made under very difficult circumstances. TUE TUE The music includes some of his best-loved recordings, like TUE Vivaldi's Four Seasons and the award-winning soundtrack for TUE Amadeus, as well as rare finds from the BBC archive: a TUE broadcast by his first chamber group, formed during student TUE days, and a "stereophonic test transmission" which may well TUE be the Academy's earliest surviving recording.

Writer Maria TUE Margaronis travels through the Greek Cypriot south and the TUE Turkish Cypriot north to understand how this tiny country TUE torn in two and why has it proved so difficult to stitch it TUE back together. TUE TUE In the 1950s, under British colonial rule, members of the TUE Greek Cypriot majority launched the violent EOKA campaign TUE for Enosis, or union with Greece. Turkish Cypriots, under TUE threat and enlisted for help by the British, mounted a TUE counter-offensive for partition. Britain withdrew in 1960, TUE leaving an independent state unloved by its citizens. By TUE 1963 violence had broken out again; the capital was TUE partitioned and Turkish Cypriots withdrew into separate TUE enclaves. In 1974, the military dictatorship in power in TUE Athens overthrew the Cyprus government to declare Enosis; TUE Turkey invaded and took over a third of the island. Some TUE 200,000 Cypriots became refugees in their own land; there TUE are still missing people from both communities. Since then, TUE repeated attempts at a settlement have failed. The Greek TUE Cypriot Republic of Cyprus is an EU member; the Turkish TUE Republic of Cyprus is unrecognised by any country but TUE Turkey. The two are separated by a UN-controlled buffer TUE zone, and until 2003, there was no crossing and no direct TUE communication between them. TUE TUE Fifty years ago Cypriots lived together as neighbours; now TUE they have separate histories and no common language. And TUE yet, there are plenty of contacts, friendships, even TUE marriages between them; the divided island has been at peace TUE for 40 years. Maria talks to inter-communal couples, to TUE soldiers who once shot each other and are now fast friends, TUE and to pragmatists on both sides about what it is to live TUE this surreal paradox. She visits the frozen spaces of the UN TUE buffer zone like Nicosia Airport where time has stood still TUE in 1974, and encounters the frozen spaces of history and TUE memory, where shards of grief still linger: a school TUE commemoration of the EOKA struggle, a Greek Cypriot refugee TUE settlement, the exhumation of a Turkish Cypriot mass grave. TUE What does it take for people to leave the past behind? Why TUE might they cling onto it? And, in a world that's changed TUE completely since 1974, can the inhabitants of this TUE strategically located island ever really hope to determine TUE their own future?

The opportunities WED are legion: karaoke, writing in to magazines, the WED competition for best kept caravan park and a local poetry WED slam WED WED Producer: Frank Stirling WED A Unique production for BBC Radio 4 WED WED Written by Elvis MacGonagall, with Richard Smith, Helen WED Braunholtz-Smith and Frank Stirling. WED WED Stand-up poet, armchair revolutionary, comedian and WED broadcaster Elvis McGonagall (aka poet and performer Richard WED Smith) is determined to do something about his bitter, WED dyspeptic and bloody minded view of contemporary life. There WED are good things out there, if he could only be bothered to WED find them. From his home in the Graceland Park near Dundee, WED the Scottish punk poet goes in search of the brighter side WED of life. With the help of his dog,Trouble, his friend, Susan WED Morrison, and his own private narrator, Clarke Peters, Elvis WED does his very best to accentuate the positive - he really WED does. Recorded almost entirely on location, in a caravan on WED a truly glamorous industrial estate somewhere in Scotland. WED WED As Elvis, poet Richard Smith is the 2006 World Poetry Slam WED Champion, the compere of the notorious Blue Suede Sporran WED Club and appears regularly on BBC Radio 4 ("Saturday Live", WED the "Today Programme", "Arthur Smith's Balham Bash", "Last WED Word", "Off The Page" and others as well as writing and WED presenting the popular arts features "Doggerel Bard" on the WED art of satiric poetry and "Beacons and Blue Remembered WED Hills" on the extraordinary resonance of A.E.

'I, Regress' sees WED Matt Berry (The IT Crowd, Garth Marenghi's Dark Place, Snuff WED Box) playing a corrupt and bizarre hypnotherapist taking WED unsuspecting clients on twisted, misleading journeys through WED their subconscious. WED WED Each episode sees the doctor dealing with a different client WED who has come to him for a different problem (quitting WED smoking, fear of water, etc). As the patient is put under WED hypnosis, we 'enter' their mind, and all the various WED situations the hypnotherapist takes them through are played WED out for us to hear. The result is a dream- (or nightmare-) WED like trip through the patient's mind, as funny as it is WED disturbing. WED WED Episode 1: Karen House-Water (Katherine Parkinson) visits Dr WED Berry to treat her fear of water, and finds that the cure WED can sometimes be worse than the disease - via mermaids, the WED titanic, and talking dolphins.

The transgenic revolution in agricultural production THU turned Argentina into one of the world's largest producers THU and exporters of genetically modified soybean and corn. But THU it isn't GM per se that's caused unease and provoked THU protests - it's the agrochemicals that have accompanied the THU boom. THU THU Linda Pressly investigates allegations by some experts that THU the use of herbicides like glyphosate, and other THU agrochemicals, have engendered a health crisis, especially THU across Argentina's vast soybean belt. She visits the THU province of Chaco where it's claimed the numbers of children THU born with disabilities has increased exponentially, and THU meets a doctor who believes agrochemical use is causing more THU cancer in the local population. THU THU The anxiety about health in Argentina has sparked political THU resistance to the GM industry. In Cordoba, bloody clashes THU between police and protesters have been a regular occurrence THU at a building site on the edge of the city - the location THU where Monsanto, a multinational company, planned to THU construct a GM seed corn plant. THU THU In Crossing Continents, we hear from families, farmers, THU doctors, protesters and representatives of the bio-tech THU industry as they position themselves on GM's important new THU front line.

On the FRI German side of the border, the term "raven-mother" has long FRI been used to stigmatise mothers who work. On the French FRI side, women risk being perceived as "mother-hens" if they FRI stay at home to look after their children. FRI FRI Change, however is in the air. FRI FRI In Germany, demographic angst is forcing policy-makers to FRI embrace new initiatives designed to make it easier for women FRI to combine a family with a career. Suddenly, the country's FRI raven-mothers have found themselves a whole host of FRI high-placed allies who are looking to France's state-funded FRI childcare system for inspiration. FRI FRI Meanwhile, babies are causing a flap on the other side of FRI the border too - but for very different reasons. There, FRI French feminist thinker Elisabeth Badinter has issued a FRI warning that France's inclement economic climate is leading FRI a new generation of women to reject the uncertainty of the FRI workplace for the security of the home.

Chandler was not only recognised FRI as a fine novelist and had also received an Academy Award FRI nomination for his original screenplay, The Blue Dahlia. The FRI omens were good but their collaboration turned out to be a FRI disaster. FRI FRI Directed by Claire Grove.

FRI FRI 15:45 State of the Nation b042lp90 (Listen) FRI A Glass of Cold Water FRI FRI In the last in a series of stories looking at the lives of FRI those living on the economic margins of society, a young FRI labourer tries to find solace and work in austerity-struck FRI rural Wales. FRI FRI Cynan Jones was one of Granta Magazine's '20 Best Novelists FRI under the Age of 40' last year. His new novel is 'The Dig'. FRI FRI Producer: Justine Willett FRI Reader: tbc FRI Writer: Cynan Jones. FRI FRI Some background to A Glass of Cold Water: five questions FRI with Cynan Jones FRI Why did you respond to FRI the brief in the way you did? What inspired you? FRI FRI I didn’t want to write FRI about something overtly ‘economic’. I wanted to keep the FRI story very much about FRI people. FRI FRI It’s easier, perhaps, to FRI recognise the more blatant results of austerity. But I FRI wanted to write about FRI the subtle effects of downturn. How a person can be FRI manipulated into taking on FRI too much because they feel grateful they have work; how FRI dropping levels of FRI business (at a builders’ yard in this case) slumps into a FRI culture of apathy in FRI the staff; the way that once you start to slide it’s very FRI difficult to stop. FRI That can happen to a person, it can happen to a business, FRI it can happen to an FRI economy. FRI FRI FRI How, if at all, did you FRI research your story? FRI FRI A few years ago I worked FRI on a building site like the one in the story. I chose the FRI setting because it FRI works at face level, but also offers strong allegories. FRI FRI The characters are FRI mixtures of people I see all the time here. FRI FRI FRI What personal experience FRI have you or people you know had of the recession? FRI FRI Once something enters FRI the air, everybody breaths it. FRI FRI The economic challenges FRI of living in an area like this are perhaps not as direct FRI and visible as FRI problems in industrial and urban areas but they are FRI arguably as endemic. FRI FRI The employment rate here FRI is very low. ‘First house’ prices are amongst the highest FRI in the country. Work FRI is incredibly seasonal. For many businesses, the year’s FRI income has to be made FRI in a few months. A huge number have gone under recently. FRI FRI FRI Who are your favourite historical writers on this theme? Do FRI you think it gets enough attention from contemporary FRI writers? FRI FRI Steinbeck. He keeps his FRI focus on people. The economics plays out in the background FRI and we see the FRI effect of that much larger thing on individuals and FRI families at a fundamental FRI level. FRI FRI As for contemporary FRI attention, I think some types of writer try to address the FRI currently relevant, FRI but I don’t think it’s necessarily the duty of writers to FRI consciously do FRI that. FRI FRI FRI Your character Lyn seems to be on the edge of a breakdown. FRI During a time of austerity, do you feel people who really FRI shouldn’t be working FRI are finding themselves forced into desperate situations? FRI FRI There’s a great deal of support on many levels in this FRI country. FRI But no degree of support can replace a person’s sense of FRI worth. If a person FRI bases their sense of worth on their ability to work, not FRI having work can be FRI very destructive. A person built like that will try to do a FRI job whether they’re FRI properly fit for it or not. Lyn is one of those people.
