In keeping with London's hope of "inspiring a SAT generation," Sir Steve Redgrave handed the Olympic torch to SAT the youngsters - with the world watching on. Little is known SAT about them and in this programme Peter joins Katie, Callum, SAT Jordan, Desiree, Cameron, Aidan and Adelle. Since the SAT Olympics some have gone on to achieve in their given sports, SAT even qualifying for the Commonwealth Games and other SAT international meets. For others the period has been spent SAT adjusting to new lives at University and coping with the SAT practical and emotional pressures of living away from home. SAT SAT Scottish sailing star Callum Airlie actually had his 17th SAT birthday on the day of the 2012 opening ceremony. All seven SAT youngsters had been nominated by previous British Olympic SAT medal winners, and Callum had been selected by fellow Scot SAT and sailor Shirley Robertson, a double Olympic gold SAT medallist. SAT The teenager said: "We got a call from Shirley. A double SAT gold medallist phoning my dad was quite a big thing. It set SAT alarm bells ringing, and although she didn't say why I was SAT invited to the opening, she was adamant I should not miss SAT this. SAT SAT "The whole thing was part of what they called 'Save the SAT Surprise'. Only my mum knew. SAT "She couldn't tell Dad, though, and my brothers didn't have SAT a clue. It was a huge secret to keep. In the end, I chose SAT not to phone people. I didn't trust myself not to say SAT anything. SAT SAT "I just sent everybody a text telling them they should SAT definitely watch it and that they probably wouldn't miss SAT me." SAT SAT Mystery had surrounded who would perform the ceremonial SAT event and sports legends including Sir Steve Redgrave, Sir SAT Roger Bannister and Daley Thompson had all been among the SAT favourites for the prestigious role. Athlete Katie Kirk SAT found her legs shaking uncontrollably as she waited for Sir SAT Steve Redgrave to come into the stadium with the torch: "We SAT were all just so excited. I could not wait to get out there SAT - the crowd out there was massive," Katie was nominated by SAT Northern Ireland gold medallist and Olympic ambassador, Dame SAT Mary Peters and feels the experience has motivated others SAT and helped inspire her - so much so that this summer she SAT qualified for the Commonwealth Games.

SAT SAT Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev meet at Gorbachev's SAT request for a one-day, informal chat, at the (some say SAT haunted) Hofdi House near Reykjavik. But in the small brown SAT room where they meet, Gorbachev suddenly blindsides the SAT Americans: out of the blue, he offers 50% cuts in all SAT missiles - and he'll sign today. The White House team is SAT catastrophically unprepared for this - no-one predicted it. SAT SAT But Reagan sees how he can really achieve something.... and SAT within hours they are talking the most colossal cuts in SAT nuclear warheads, aiming to reach zero missiles within ten SAT years. How did this happen? How did it fail? SAT SAT Drawing on both American and Russian transcripts of every SAT word said between the two leaders, Jonathan Myerson's SAT gripping drama explores the pressures on both sides, moment SAT by moment, as the deal grows bigger and bigger, and the SAT drama shifts from measured words at the negotiating table, SAT to the panic, graft and invention of the two diplomatic SAT teams outside the room.

SAT SAT After his release Paul Hill donated hundreds of the letters SAT he sent to his family to the Archive of the Irish in Britain SAT at the London Metropolitan University.

More mammal like than birds; SUN their tiny eyes are of little use, but they have an SUN excellent sense of smell, using their nostrils located SUN unusually for birds near the end of the bill.

SUN SUN Her passion for every day drama was honed at her mother's SUN knee: in the 60's and 70's as Mrs. Wainwright watched SUN Coronation Street, young Sally tuned in too, developing an SUN affinity with the power of the portrayal of language as it SUN is spoken and life as it is lived.

How can alpine plants be better incorporated in gardens SUN with diverse planting? SUN SUN A. Shallow troughs, dry-stone walls and living walls can be SUN used to show off alpine plants. SUN SUN Q. What is the best way to look after an Amaryllis plant so SUN that it flowers again the following year? SUN SUN A. Let it dry out in the winter to allow it to go into SUN dormancy. Make sure it's in a cool, brightly lit place. Give SUN it a high-potash feed when the flowers start to die. SUN SUN Q. Why is it that you sometimes see pink Hydrangeas growing SUN alongside blue ones when the colour is down to soil PH? SUN SUN A. This might be due to mortar or chalk beneath the soil SUN creating small patches of soil with different PH levels. SUN SUN Q. Is it possible to micro-propagate ferns using the tissue SUN from the fronds? SUN SUN A. Technically yes, but it's not something that people SUN usually do, perhaps because it's not financially viable. SUN Have a go! SUN SUN Q. What plants would you recommend for a north-facing steep SUN slope with rich soil? SUN SUN A. Hellebores, Camellias, Drimys winteri, Sarcococca SUN (Christmas Box) and autumn-flowering Cyclamen. SUN SUN Q. My Indian Bean tree is getting too big. When can I trim SUN it and by how much? SUN SUN A. You could pollard the tree. Prune it, but not too hard. SUN Reduce the size over the period of two to three years as to SUN keep its shape. Next time, why not plant Paulownia Tomentosa SUN (Foxglove tree)? SUN SUN Q. The Myrtle hedges I put in look like they're dying. SUN Should I take them out? SUN SUN A. This might be due to bad drainage. Lift one of the sickly SUN plants and inspect the roots to check if they are soggy. SUN SUN Q. Which herbs, veg and fruits would the panel recommend for SUN growing in containers? SUN SUN A. Strawberries, salads, Chives, edible flowers, Runner SUN Beans, Sweet Peas, Radishes and Miracle Berries.

MON MON Miranda Krestovnikoff presents the now extinct in the wild MON Hawaiian Crow. It's hard to imagine any crow becoming MON endangered, but only a hundred or so the formerly widespread MON Hawaiian crow survive and all of them in captivity. Also MON known by its Hawaiian name 'Alala' these sooty black brown MON crows produce a chorus of caws and screeches. Early settlers MON in the Hawaiian archipelago reduced their numbers, leaving MON the remaining populations vulnerable to introduced MON predators; feral pigs further reduced the fruit-laden MON understory plants favoured by the crow. The species was last MON seen in the wild in 2002. All may not be lost. A captive MON breeding programme overseen by San Diego Zoo is hoping to MON reintroduce the crows into the wild, so perhaps the Hawaiian MON forests will once again resound with their calls.

MON MON While the military have welcomed UAS as a way of reducing MON costs and casualties, not everyone is convinced.

MON MON 20:30 Analysis b04k9n03 (Listen) MON Peston and the House of Debt MON MON Robert Peston, the BBC's Economics Editor, witnessed at MON first hand every twist and turn of the financial crisis of MON 2007 and 2008. He first exposed the crisis at Northern Rock MON as well as revealing the failure of Lehman Brothers. MON MON This makes him the ideal interviewer to probe the arguments MON and conclusions of "House of Debt", a radical new study of MON the recession and the lessons to be learnt from it. In MON discussion with the book's authors, Atif Mian and Amir Sufi, MON he subjects their arguments to rigorous scrutiny. MON MON The book challenges the conventional wisdom that the banks MON were to blame for the recession in the US and UK by suddenly MON curtailing loans to families and businesses to shore up MON their own positions. MON MON Instead, "House of Debt" argues that economic meltdown MON resulted from the doubling between 2000 and 2007 in total MON American household debt to $14 trillion. Much of this was MON held by borrowers with the poorest credit ratings. When the MON house price bubble burst and incomes also fell, these MON households suddenly stopped spending and plunged the US MON economy into deep recession. MON MON By this argument, the banks weren't the real problem. And MON yet, thanks in large part to their lobbying prowess with MON politicians, they received help which would have been better MON directed at helping indebted households. MON MON If correct, this account of the crisis would require MON governments and central banks fundamentally to reappraise MON how they should tackle future downturns, focusing much more MON on households and much less on bankers. MON MON For many, this may sound highly attractive. But does the new MON analysis pass muster with Robert Peston? MON MON Producer Simon Coates.

TUE TUE From an early age, she ran the family home, looking after TUE her younger siblings while her parents travelled the world.

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

THU THU 11:30 August Shines b04kf8q1 (Listen) THU Lenny Henry travels to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to tell the THU story of August Wilson, contemporary America's greatest THU black playwright. THU THU When Lenny Henry last year won the London Critics' Circle THU award for his best-actor performance as Troy Maxson in THU August Wilson's 'Fences', many admitted they knew little THU about this great black playwright, whose work brought the THU lives of working-class Pittsburgh African Americans to THU Broadway and across the United States. THU THU Although at his untimely death in 2005, Wilson had been THU living for many years on the west coast in Seattle, his THU plays and his soul had long remained in the east, in the THU venerable old steel town of Pittsburgh where he was born and THU grew up. This summer Lenny Henry travelled to the city of THU three rivers and many bridges, now slowly recovering from THU post-industrial gloom, to visit the old, multiracial Hill THU District, where August Wilson lived as a child, and whose THU geography and characters run through his plays like the THU Allegheny River through the city. THU THU In a sequence of ten plays, known as the 'Pittsburgh Cycle', THU Wilson charts the stories of black Americans across ten THU decades of the twentieth century. Vibrant, real, yet filled THU with the original African rhythms and spirit that the THU playwright believed should underpin and shape his works, THU these plays are a magisterial account of the African THU American twentieth century. THU THU At the now semi-derelict childhood home, Lenny Henry meets THU surviving members of Wilson's family, and encounters those THU who knew and loved him, like Sala Udin, who helped Wilson in THU the 1970s set up a powerful black theatre group to tell the THU stories of the Hill's residents.

THU THU Her letters, introduced by biographer Georgina Ferry, reveal THU an intimate portrait of a strikingly modern woman, juggling THU pioneering research in x-ray crystallography with bringing THU up four children, while her husband Thomas spent most of his THU time in Africa. THU THU From an early age, she ran the family home, looking after THU her younger siblings while her parents travelled the world. THU As a young woman, she enjoyed archaeology and painstakingly THU completed intricate paintings of ancient mosaics. Her THU distant and loving mother repeatedly warned her not to work THU too hard. THU THU Dorothy was passionately committed to resolving the enigma THU of chemical structures, as was her lover, the Communist THU physicist, J.D. Bernal. She tackled hugely complex molecules THU that were biologically useful, penicillin, vitamin B12 and THU insulin. THU THU Somerville College, Oxford invented maternity leave for her: THU a benefit she accepted with some reluctance. Later in life, THU she wrote to one of her most famous students, Margaret THU Thatcher urging her to introduce a total ban on chemical THU weapons. THU THU An active campaigner for peace, she made strong contacts THU with Chinese and Russian scientists, travelling to these THU countries during the Cold War.

THU THU 1605. Fearing further terrorist activity following the THU gunpowder plot, King James transports his court to the THU Scottish Highlands, complete with The King's Men, his THU favoured theatre company. This includes middle-aged, THU careworn, neurotic and pox-troubled playwright William THU Shaxberd (although he prefers being called 'Shakespeare'). THU When the Royal wagons get bogged down on the moors and a THU seemingly supernatural attempt is made on the life of the THU paranoid, superstitious James, a local woman, Shona, is THU accused of witchcraft. Shaxberd owes Shona a debt and THU shaking off his customary deference to authority he employs THU all his ingenuity and gift for theatre to help her escape THU the gallows. But who was the real attacker? And does the THU innocent Shona have some genuine magic up her sleeve? THU THU The play takes its prompt from historical facts: James's THU obsession with witchcraft and the political paranoia THU post-Gunpowder Plot; Shakespeare's being sometimes credited THU as 'Shaxberd' (might it have been his actual name?), his THU awkward position at court as a Catholic glove-maker's son, THU his rewriting of Scottish history in 'Macbeth' to flatter THU King James (Banquo's descendant); as well as the probably THU apocryphal story that The King's Men may have toured THU Scotland prior to the writing of 'Macbeth'.

THU THU Written by Nathan Caton and James Kettle THU Producer: Katie Tyrrell THU THU Can't Tell Nathan Caton Nothing is a series about young, THU up-and-coming comedian Nathan Caton, who after becoming the THU first in his family to graduate from University, opted not THU to use his architecture degree but instead to try his hand THU at being a full-time stand-up comedian, much to his family's THU horror and disgust. They desperately want him to get a THU 'proper job.' THU THU Each episode illustrates the criticism, interference and THU rollercoaster ride that Nathan endures from his disapproving THU family as he tries to prove himself. THU THU The series is a mix of Nathan's stand-up intercut with THU scenes from his family life. THU THU Janet a.k.a. Mum is probably the kindest and most lenient of THU the disappointed family members. At the end of the day she THU just wants the best for her son. However, she'd also love to THU brag and show her son off to her friends, but with Nathan THU only telling jokes for a living that's kind of hard to do. THU THU Martin a.k.a. Dad works in the construction industry and was THU looking forward to his son getting a degree so the two of THU them could work together in the same field. But now Nathan THU has blown that dream out of the window. Martin is clumsy and THU hard-headed and leaves running the house to his wife (she THU wouldn't allow it to be any other way). THU THU Shirley a.k.a. Grandma cannot believe Nathan turned down THU architecture for comedy. She can't believe she left the THU paradise in the West Indies and came to the freezing United THU Kingdom for a better life so that years later her grandson THU could 'tell jokes!' How can her grandson go on stage and use THU foul language and filthy material... it's not the good THU Christian way! THU THU So with all this going on in the household what will Nathan THU do? Will he persevere and follow his dreams? Or will he give THU in to his family's interference? Or will he finally leave THU home?!

FRI She's also in charge of Project Adam, the plan to conceive FRI and give birth to the first colony-born baby.

The result is a series of vivid snapshots of a FRI mysterious, vanished world. FRI FRI Fleming wrote, 'On November 2nd, armed with a sheaf of FRI visas...one suitcase...and my typewriter, I left humdrum FRI London for the thrilling cities of the world. All my life I FRI have been interested in adventure and abroad. I have enjoyed FRI the frisson of leaving the wide, well-lit streets and FRI venturing up back alleys in search of the hidden, authentic FRI pulse of towns.

FRI FRI Our Book at Bedtime will be read by a stellar cast of five FRI actors over three weeks. We open with Hannah Arterton as FRI Holly Sykes, 15 years old in 1980s Gravesend. Then Luke FRI Treadaway is Cambridge student Hugo Lamb, likeable, good FRI looking, and extremely dangerous. Joe Armstrong is Ed FRI Brubeck, a foreign correspondent in the current decade, FRI struggling to overcome the gaps between his life at home and FRI the loss he experiences daily at work. Robert Glenister is FRI Crispin Hershey, once the wild child of British letters, a FRI novelist now past his best-selling peak. And Laurel Lefkow FRI is Dr Marinus, a psychiatrist from the seventh century who FRI meets Holly Sykes in a near-future America. FRI FRI Abridged by Robin Brooks FRI Produced by Allegra McIlroy.

FRI FRI His methods may be unconventional but this time Steve is hot FRI on the trail of two gun makers, William Cantelo and Hirum FRI Maxim, and the story begins in Southampton. FRI FRI Late in the 19th century strange noises could be heard from FRI a cellar beneath a pub near the Southampton docks. It was FRI rumoured that gun maker William Cantelo was inventing a FRI rapid firing gun, capable of destroying the enemy and FRI certain to make its inventor very rich. FRI FRI Eventually William Cantelo emerged from his cellar with the FRI news that his invention was complete and that he was going FRI to take a much needed holiday, which he did, taking his new FRI invention with him. But that was the last his family saw of FRI him, "he simply vanished into the void." FRI FRI Eventually his two sons began a search to find out what had FRI happened to their father. When they saw a picture of the FRI American inventor Hirum Maxim in a national paper with his FRI new invention, a rapid firing machine gun, they were FRI shocked; he was the spitting image of their own father FRI William Cantelo. The sons both tried in vain to talk to FRI Maxim, on one occasion at Victoria station as Maxim was FRI catching a train, but to no avail. They were convinced that FRI this Maxim was their father and that gun was the same gun FRI that Cantelo had invented but they were never able to prove FRI it. FRI FRI Maxim died a very rich man having made millions from the FRI invention which slaughtered millions in the Great War. FRI Cantelo's last movements were traced to America, how and FRI where he died is a mystery. FRI Clearly this story throws up more questions than answers: FRI What happened to William Cantelo? Was Cantelo impersonating FRI Maxim, if so why? Did Maxim steal Cantelo's invention and FRI pay Cantelo to go away? Did one man murder the other, if so FRI who murdered who?

Fi Glover introduces another conversation in the FRI series that proves it's surprising what you hear when you FRI listen. FRI FRI The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a FRI snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the FRI UK volunteer to have a conversation with someone close to FRI them about a subject they've never discussed intimately FRI before. The conversations are being gathered across the UK FRI by teams of producers from local and national radio stations FRI who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're FRI not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - FRI lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key FRI moment of connection between the participants. Most of the FRI unedited conversations are being archived by the British FRI Library and used to build up a collection of voices FRI capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade FRI of the millennium.
