In each episode she brings together SAT two figures who were making significant SAT radio comedy at the same time, and asks them about their SAT experiences. This is a conversational history that focuses SAT on the people who were there and the atmosphere within the SAT BBC and the wider comedy world that allowed them to make SAT great radio - or not. SAT This second edition features Angus Deayton and Michael SAT Knowles looking at radio comedy in the early 1980s. Angus SAT had been given a writer's contract by the BBC Light SAT Entertainment Radio (as it was then) in 1980, and used the SAT time he was afforded by that to co-create the sketch show SAT Radio Active, in which he wrote and performed. Michael SAT however came to radio from television; having acted in In SAT Ain't Half Hot Mum, he was asked to adapt Dad's Army for SAT radio in the 1970s, which he did to great success, and in SAT 1983 he and Harold Snoad wrote the sitcom It Stick Out Half SAT A Mile, a sort of Dad's Army sequel. Grace asks them about SAT the atmosphere within the Radio Comedy department and within SAT the BBC, and how they might circumvent rules on taste and SAT decency; they share their memories of former Heads of Light SAT Entertainment Radio (as it was then called) Bobby Jaye and SAT Martin Fisher; and they talk about how the alternative SAT comedy movement bypassed radio and went straight to TV - and SAT how it felt to be left behind. SAT The Frequency of Laughter is presented by Grace Dent, a SAT journalist for The Independent, and is a BBC Radio Comedy SAT production. SAT Presenter ... Grace Dent SAT Guest ...

SAT As the war creeps ever closer to home, it devastates and SAT disrupts the life of his family. SAT Struggling to make sense of the conflict, as he and his SAT family try to survive in an impossibly brutal world, Adam SAT paints as a way to record and cope with the horrors he SAT witnesses. SAT His older brothers face the dilemma of whether to take sides SAT - and the consequences of their choices have repercussions SAT for the entire family. But can they make it to safety as the SAT conflict in Aleppo rages all around them? SAT The immediacy and impact of this drama bear witness to the SAT horrors of war, its effect upon the innocent, and the SAT triumph of the human spirit over almost unbearable SAT adversity.

SAT SAT 19:00 Profile b04n23wz (Listen) SAT Rand Paul SAT SAT This week, with Republicans celebrating mid term election SAT victories, Rand Paul - a Tea Party supporting SAT ophthalmologist from Kentucky with only three years' SAT experience in the Senate is fast emerging as one of SAT the frontrunners to try to wrest the US Presidency back from SAT the Democrats in 2016. SAT Rand is part of a political dynasty although hardly from the SAT Republican Party establishment. SAT His father Ron - also a physician turned politician - ran as SAT a Libertarian for the US Presidency twice on a platform SAT championing free markets, small government and a ferocious SAT determination to keep the state out of individuals lives. SAT Rand shares many of his father's ideas but his challenge now SAT is making them palatable to a majority of the Republican SAT party and a majority of people in the country. Many ask if SAT he could pose a serious threat to Hilary Clinton by greatly SAT expanding the Republicans' appeal and reaching out to SAT African Americans and young voters. Some praise Rand Paul SAT for his unconventional yet pragmatic approach - TIME SAT magazine recently called him "the most interesting man in US SAT politics." But some see him as a wolf in sheep's clothing SAT and a dangerous isolationist. SAT In this edition of Mark Coles asks who exactly is Rand Paul SAT - the man who eschews small talk but embraces loud shirts SAT and turtle neck sweaters?

SAT SAT 21:00 Classic Serial b04n2k2f (Listen) SAT The Searchers, Episode 2 SAT SAT By Alan Le May SAT Dramatised for radio by Adrian Bean SAT SAT A new adaptation of the classic western novel, upon which SAT the famous film was based. Episode two. SAT SAT Texas, 1851. It's been three years since the Comanches SAT attacked SAT the Edwards family's settlement on the Texas plains, and SAT kidnapped ten year-old Debbie. Now only Amos Edwards and his SAT nephew Mart remain on the epic search. But Mart is concerned SAT about what Amos might do if he finds Debbie. SAT Alan Le May's 1954 novel is a timeless work of western SAT fiction and a no-holds-barred portrait of the real American SAT frontier. It explores the fear and the hatred that SAT underpinned the lives of both the white settlers and the SAT Native Americans. And what emerges is a violent account of a SAT creeping genocide, as one culture inevitably triumphs over SAT the other. SAT John Ford's 1956 film, based on the novel, starred John SAT Wayne as Ethan Edwards (called Amos in the book and radio SAT adaptation). Ford's version of The Searchers was named the SAT Greatest Western Movie of all time by the American Film SAT Institute in 2008. SAT Radio 4 investigates the story behind the novel with 'In SAT Search of the Real Searchers' at 1.30pm on Sunday 26th SAT October.

SAT SAT 22:15 Moral Maze b04n6119 (Listen) SAT The moral purpose of tax SAT SAT Jean-Baptiste Colbert, the minister of finances for King SAT Louis XIV of France said "The art of taxation consists in so SAT plucking the goose as to obtain the largest amount of SAT feathers with the least possible SAT amount of hissing". You probably won't be surprised to learn SAT that Colbert's central economic principle was that the SAT wealth and the economy of France should serve the state. SAT When it comes to this equation David Cameron has made it SAT clear that he's firmly on the side of the goose. Our PM SAT wasn't quite as colourful as Colbert when he recently set SAT out his principles on taxation, but he did raise more than SAT just an economic argument. It was, he said, his moral duty, SAT to cut taxes. So this week on the Moral Maze we ask: what is SAT the moral purpose of tax? Is tax a kind of moral mechanism SAT to tackle injustice and inequality on our society? Or is the SAT moral imperative of taxation to create as much wealth as SAT possible in the first place, without which no-one benefits SAT and let individuals decide how they send their cash? Can you SAT just measure the morality of taxation through its SAT utilitarian consequences - the greatest happiness for the SAT greatest numbers? Of course that can be used to justify SAT punishing taxes on the wealthy in the name of SAT redistribution, just as it can to argue that the state SAT should allow as many people as possible the freedom to keep SAT as much of their own money as possible. Or is there some SAT overriding moral virtue in raising and paying tax? When SAT citizens allow the state to take some of their money it is a SAT fundamental part of the democratic contract. If voters were SAT equally willing to support high or low taxes which would be SAT the more moral society? The one with high or low taxes? Is SAT tax an issue of individual freedom versus collective SAT altruism? Moral Maze - Presented by Michael Buerk SAT Panellists: Michael Portillo, Melanie Phillips, Matthew SAT Taylor and Mehdi Hasan. SAT Witnesses: Professor David Myddelton, Canon Dr. Angus SAT Ritchie, Frances Coppola and Danny Kruger. SAT Produced by Phil Pegum.

SAT SAT 23:30 Night Fishing b04n2k2k (Listen) SAT Cumbrian poet Tom Rawling fished for sea trout at night. His SAT poems about fishing were admired by Seamus Heaney and Ted SAT Hughes - but now, Tom is almost totally forgotten. Night SAT fishing is a heightened experience SAT captured in sound and with poems read by Tom, found on a SAT cassette. SAT Tom Rawling was a driven man and his poems have a peculiar SAT intensity, a strange slightly frightening quality that's SAT vivid and almost obsessive. No one else has conveyed so SAT piercingly the drama, the intensity and the sheer SAT strangeness of fishing - above all, of night fishing for sea SAT trout. This programme, with Grevel Lindop and Finlay Wilson, SAT helps us to experience some of that. SAT Rawling was born in Ennerdale in the Lake District in 1916. SAT His family had been farming on the shores of Ennerdale Water SAT for at least three hundred years. He was the son of the SAT village schoolmaster, attended his father's school, and was SAT caned by him every day. Rawling eventually became a teacher SAT himself - of children with special needs. He preferred that SAT because it didn't tie him down to a syllabus. SAT He didn't begin writing poetry until he was sixty years old. SAT Retired, the poems poured out of him. They were about SAT Cumbria - about his family, his childhood memories of SAT Ennerdale, and the hard labour entailed in making a living SAT from the land. Also, they were about fishing. Above all, to SAT fish for sea trout. SAT Produced by Matt Thompson SAT A Rockethouse production for BBC Radio 4.

SUN SUN The Hitch-hiker's Guide to Europe was the book most often SUN stolen from British libraries in the 1970s. Mark Little SUN reads from the young travellers' bible that nestled in every SUN student SUN rucksack forty years ago as they set off to explore Europe SUN on £10 a week. Australian Ken Welsh was the hitcher who SUN inspired thousands to follow "the infinite miles of tarmac SUN and pot-holes which criss-cross the world, the magic ribbon SUN which can lead to a thousand other worlds." SUN With a great deal of humour, some common sense and a spirit SUN of recklessness lost to today's youngsters, Welsh's book SUN covered everything from How To Hitch ("Providing a driver SUN isn't obviously bombed out of his mind, my rule is to take SUN any car that stops which has its bonnet pointed even vaguely SUN in the direction I want to go...") to tips on How To Survive SUN ("If you make the mistake of getting in with a fast driver SUN who won't stop, make sounds which suggest you're about to SUN throw up all over his upholstery...") SUN Re-reading it forty years on it's surprising what a SUN different world it was then for the young traveller. There SUN seemed to be more trust around (hitch-hikers are a rarity SUN nowadays), and no real worries about roughing it far from SUN home without the comfort of a mobile phone and by relying on SUN the black markets, pawn shops or even blood banks when cash SUN machines were simply not an option.

SUN Registered Charity No 1100394 SUN To Give: SUN - Freephone 0800 404 8144 SUN - Freepost BBC Radio 4 Appeal, mark the back of the envelope SUN ' Epilepsy Research UK'. SUN SUN The Charity SUN SUN Epilepsy Research UK is the only national charity SUN exclusively dedicated to funding research into the SUN diagnosis, treatment, SUN prevention and possible cure of epilepsy. SUN It has already allocated more than £4.5 million to SUN research, largely SUN made possible through voluntary donations. SUN But research into the condition is under-funded: there is SUN still a long SUN way to go in managing, preventing and curing this SUN debilitating condition. For more information on the charity SUN and the SUN research that we fund, please visit SUN http://www.epilepsyresearch.org.uk/ SUN SUN The Condition SUN SUN Approximately 1 in 100 people in the UK is diagnosed with SUN epilepsy; it is one of our most common neurological SUN conditions. Epilepsy can affect anyone, at any age, and SUN for most there is no obvious cause. It SUN can take many different forms, from the terrifying ‘tonic SUN clonic seizures', SUN characterised by a loss of consciousness and violent SUN dramatic convulsions, to SUN ‘absence seizures’, which are momentary blank spells. An SUN epilepsy diagnosis increases significantly SUN with age and although medication can control the seizures SUN in some cases, for SUN many it means that a normal life is simply impossible. SUN SUN The Research SUN SUN New drugs have been discovered, state-of-the-art brain SUN scanning techniques are helping to identify how seizures SUN spread throughout the SUN brain, and epilepsy surgery is now safer as advances in SUN technology mean only SUN affected brain tissue is removed. However there is still SUN much to do to build on SUN the advances of the past 20 years. SUN SUN Joan SUN SUN Joan comes from a family of seven siblings, three of whom SUN have epilepsy. Joan herself was SUN diagnosed with the condition at the age of 11. SUN Early medication did not control her seizures and severely SUN affected her SUN memory. However, Joan's seizures are now SUN controlled and she refuses to let her epilepsy get in the SUN way of living her SUN life to the full. SUN SUN Rachel SUN SUN Twelve year old Rachel Christian was first diagnosed with SUN epilepsy at the age of three after exhibiting severe SUN recurrent seizures. Following a ground-breaking operation SUN in 2010 SUN when a piece of tissue the size of a 20 pence piece was SUN removed from her brain, SUN she has shown no signs of a seizure. The transformation SUN from a subdued and lethargic SUN child has been dramatic and instant. SUN SUN 07:57 Weather b04nqph8 (Listen) SUN The latest weather forecast.

Former army chaplain, SUN the Reverend Andrew Martlew, meets the British forces there SUN as they prepare to leave and attends a service for the SUN re-internment of the remains of fifteen British soldiers 100 SUN years after they were killed in action in Flanders.

SUN SUN Music details: SUN SUN Guide me O thou great redeemer – Male voice choir – CD SUN I vow to thee my country – recorded on location SUN Benedictus from The Armed Man, Karl Jenkins – CD SUN Oh Valiant hearts - CD SUN SUN Sermon: SUN SUN The Reverend Dr David Coulter Chaplain General of the SUN British Army SUN Psalm 121 SUN SUN Verse 2: My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and SUN earth. SUN SUN On 13 July 1917 Father Willie Doyle a Jesuit Priest and Army SUN Chaplain wrote in his diary: “The soft chimes of the angelus SUN bell mark the fall of evening. Another day is gone….Nearer SUN still than yesterday to that solemn moment of our lives, its SUN end; nearer still to heaven with its joys unknown, untasted; SUN nearer still to Him for whom we labour now and strive to SUN serve. How many days are left? Too few alas, for all we have SUN to do, but not so few that we cannot heap them high with SUN noble deeds and victories bravely won.” A month later Father SUN Doyle was killed in the battle for Ypres. He had been in the SUN front line from early morning cheering and consoling his SUN men and attending to the wounded. Mid afternoon word came SUN that an officer of the Dublin Fusiliers had been wounded and SUN was lying in an exposed position. Father Doyle at once SUN decided to go and get him to safety but as he went forward, SUN he was killed by shell fire. SUN SUN The First World War was unlike previous wars due to its vast SUN scale, the new technology employed and the unimaginable SUN number of casualties. It was also unique in that it changed SUN the way in which the nation remembers our war dead. Father SUN Doyle’s name is on the memorial to the missing at Tyne Cot SUN Cemetery in Belgium which is the largest Commonwealth war SUN cemetery in the world in terms of burials – containing the SUN graves of almost 12,000 men. A high proportion over 8,300 of SUN these are marked: ‘A Soldier of the Great War. Known Unto SUN God.” SUN SUN In 1922 King George V said: “I have many times asked myself SUN whether there can be more potent advocates of peace upon SUN earth through the years to come than this massed multitude SUN of silent witnesses to the desolation of war.” SUN SUN War is costly and Afghanistan cost the lives of 453 young SUN service men and women. Remembrance comes with a price. But SUN wherever sailors, soldiers and air force personnel go their SUN chaplains go with them. SUN SUN Remembrance Sunday – the two minute silence, wreaths, SUN memorials, services have been so woven into the fabric of SUN our nation that it’s hard to imagine, especially for younger SUN listeners, a time when it wasn’t there. It’s hard to think SUN of another national event that was created so consciously SUN and that has been so enduring and that has so fundamentally SUN changed how we thing about such things. It is a powerful SUN reminder that in every generation the call will go out and SUN the young will respond and they too will stand as one. SUN On the centenary of the First World War, young and old will SUN stand with pride in silent tribute, to honour the bravery SUN and selflessness of all those past and present who gave SUN their lives in the service of humanity and in the eternal SUN quest for peace. SUN SUN AMEN SUN SUN 08:48 A Point of View b04n695k (Listen) SUN Capitalism and the Myth of Social Evolution SUN SUN John Gray reflects on why the advance of capitalism is not - SUN as is widely believed - inevitable. He argues that social SUN evolution is often unpredictable and that the "seemingly SUN unstoppable advance of market SUN forces" could well be halted by political decisions and the SUN "random flux of human events".

SUN SUN Chris Packham presents the red-breasted goose in Siberia. SUN Red-breasted geese are colourful birds with art-deco SUN markings of brick-red, black and white. Despite their dainty SUN and somewhat exotic appearance, these are hardy birds which SUN breed in the remotest areas of arctic Siberia. They often SUN set up home near the eyries of birds of prey, especially SUN peregrine falcons. But there's method in the madness; These SUN wildfowl nest on the ground where their eggs and chicks are SUN vulnerable to predators such as Arctic foxes. But the ever SUN vigilant peregrine falcons detecting a predator, will defend SUN their eyries by calling and dive-bombing any intruders, and SUN this also doubles as a warning system for the geese. In SUN winter red-breasted geese migrate south where most of them SUN graze on seeds and grasses at a few traditional sites in SUN eastern Europe around the Black Sea.

This year a SUN particular focus of the thoughts of many at the ceremony SUN will be the centenary of the start of World War I as well as SUN the 70th anniversary of the D Day landings; this year SUN veterans of D Day will march past the cenotaph as an entity SUN for the last time.

SUN SUN 11:45 Singing with the Nightingales b044m17b (Listen) SUN Late in the evening on 19th May, 1924, the BBC made its SUN first live wildlife outside broadcast, from the cellist SUN Beatrice Harrison's garden. A nightingale joined in, singing SUN as she played. Listeners were so SUN entranced by this duet that the cello and nightingale SUN concerts were broadcast annually, eagerly awaited by SUN listeners around the globe. SUN To celebrate the 90th anniversary of this remarkable musical SUN event, the folk musician Sam Lee finds, somewhere in SUN southern England, "some melodious plot/ Of beechen green, SUN and shadows numberless", as Keats puts it in his 'Ode to a SUN Nightingale', and himself sings "of summer with full SUN throated ease". Sam, with the cellist Francesca Ter-Berg, SUN violinist Flora Curzon and viola player Laurel Pardue, sings SUN songs that feature nightingales, such as 'The Tan Yard SUN Side', to the nightingales as they sing in the thickets. SUN Sam considers our relationship with this amazing songster, SUN which itself appears in so many songs and poems, and we SUN hear, too, Beatrice's reminiscence of that first nightingale SUN broadcast, 90 years ago.

Bob Flowerdew, Christine Walkden and Matthew Wilson SUN take questions from local gardeners. Bob and Katie Rushworth SUN visit a jungle garden which is SUN thriving despite the chilly climate. SUN Produced by Howard Shannon SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4 SUN This week's questions and answers: SUN Q. I sowed my Leeks in June this year. Now they look like SUN Spring Onions. Should I leave them to grow or throw them SUN into a stir-fry now? SUN A. Bob says that next year, sow them earlier - April at the SUN latest. They will grow through the winter, but they have a SUN high chance of bolting. If this happens, cut the flower head SUN off then a bulb will develop which you can leave for a SUN couple of weeks before digging up and putting to one side. SUN You can replant those bulbs at the end of August and have SUN better sized Leeks by Christmas. Go for 'Musselburgh' seeds SUN as they are reliable. SUN Eric advises you to give up! SUN Bunny says you should plant them at least nine inches apart. SUN Transplant them now and you'll have a good chance of decent SUN sized leeks soon. SUN Q. Can the panel recommend some plants that we could grow in SUN containers in a shaded paved area? The area gets sun in the SUN late afternoon. We want a good view, something that reminds SUN us of the courtyards of Seville. SUN A. This is ambitious. Go for containers with a structure of SUN climbers such as Trachelospermum Jasminoides - 'Star SUN Jasmine'. Sow annuals for colour. Try Virginian Stock, SUN Californian Poppies, Wallflowers and Night-scented stock. SUN Plumbago 'crystal waters', Pelegonium 'Lord Beaufort' or SUN 'Cézanne' would also work well as long as you can keep them SUN frost-free over the winter. SUN Q. I make home brewed beer for Christmas. This year's brew SUN had lots of Barley and Hops in it. I've heard that Hops can SUN be used on the allotment to repel the slugs, can I use the SUN brewed Barley in the garden, or will it start to SUN re-germinate? SUN A. Use the grain in the compost, it will be good for the SUN soil. SUN Q. How can I improve the soil in a massive raised bed? It's SUN topsoil and there is a dressing of compost but it's very SUN hard to dig. It's a metre high, a metre wide and two metres SUN deep. SUN A. It's a myth that the deeper the topsoil the better. You SUN need lots of sub soil too. The excessive amount of topsoil SUN you have used has now turned bad. So dig out 400mm of the SUN existing soil and then incorporate lots of organic matter SUN and put some more topsoil above that and feed from above. SUN Or, put the compost on top and let the worms do the work. SUN Bob says put lime on first, and then a few weeks later, put SUN on manure. Bunny recommends using green waste. SUN Q. Does the panel have any advice on how to save some large SUN shrubs that I will have to move as part of a drastic garden SUN makeover? A contorted Hazel, a Buddleia 'dark night', a huge SUN Fuchsia 'Hawkshead' and a large 'mop-head' Hydrangea are SUN among the shrubs. I've read that root pruning in advance can SUN help. SUN A. Matthew says yes, do the root pruning now with a sharp SUN spade. Prune back when the plant has been moved. Take SUN cuttings from the shrubs as a backup. Bunny says that if you SUN have a digger at hand, use that to dig up the shrubs. SUN Bob thinks you should buy new plants. SUN Q. What are the panel's views on using wood chip in the SUN compost? SUN A. Bob says mix the chippings with urine, compost and lime SUN so that it breaks down. Don't add too much to the compost SUN heap but use it for paths. Bunny and Matt say you must be SUN careful because it can really affect the PH of the soil. SUN Q. Any tips on growing Physalis alkekengi 'Chinese Lantern' SUN plants? SUN A. Plant them in the spring as they have all summer to get SUN their roots down. Choose the plants that look very healthy. SUN They will skeletonise by late winter. You can grow it with SUN Passiflora, 'Passion Flower' as the two look great together. SUN Grow both against the wall to maximise the.

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 White's imagining of Arthur's childhood in The Sword in The SUN Stone, his use of myth to deliver a powerful anti-war SUN message and the humanity of his depiction of doomed love SUN marks this cycle of novels as one of the defining works of SUN 20th century fantasy fiction.

SUN SUN In the past ten years, there have been a string of SUN organizational failures - from BP to the banks, from the SUN Catholic Church to Rotherham. In each instance, hundreds, SUN even thousands of people could see what was going on but SUN acted as though they were blind. Silence ensured the SUN problems continued and allowed them to grow. SUN The conditions that create the phenomenon called "wilful SUN blindness" are pervasive across institutions, both public SUN and private. Wherever there have been cases of SUN organisational failure you typically find individuals who SUN are over-stretched, distracted and exhausted. They cannot SUN see because they cannot think. SUN Businesswoman and writer Margaret Heffernan argues that the SUN solution is a "just culture"; which means organizations that SUN encourage people to speak up early and often when things go SUN adrift, without fear of being silenced.

MON MON Chris Packham presents the vegetarian tree finch on the MON Galapagos Islands. These streaky sparrow-like birds found on MON the Galapagos Islands may look rather plain, but belong to MON the evolutionary elite, having attracted the attention of MON Charles Darwin on his visit there in 1835. Darwin noticed MON that the fourteen or so species of finches, which he MON concluded were derived from a common ancestor on this MON isolate archipelago, had evolved bills adapted to the type MON of food available. The Vegetarian finch has a bill rather MON like a parrot's, with thick curved mandibles and a biting MON tip which also allows it to manipulate seeds, similar to a MON parrot or budgie. Vegetarian finches are especially fond of MON the sugar-rich twigs of certain shrubs and are use the MON biting tip of their bills to strip off the bark to reach the MON softer sweeter tissues beneath: a niche that other finches MON on Galapagos haven't exploited yet.

His MON mother Margaret Evison, a clinical psychologist, began MON writing her book as she fought to come MON to terms with his death. 'In the beginning it was MON therapeutic.

MON An adventurous, bright and charismatic soul, Mark Evison was MON a natural fit for the army, and his mother acknowledges her MON son's eagerness to join the Welsh Guards. But his death MON raised questions that she feels have never been properly MON answered. MON Posted to Nad-e-Ali, one of the most dangerous places on MON Earth, Mark Evison's own diary - sent to his mother after MON his death - talks of the inadequate medical equipment. There MON had been reported issues with the men's Bowman radios, and MON it was in seeking a better radio signal that Mark Evison MON exposed himself to the sniper. Then there was, without MON apparent reason, a crucial wait of 39 minutes until the MON rescue helicopter was authorised to pick up her son. MON In this radio adaptation, words adapted from interviews with MON soldiers from Lt Evison's platoon and interwoven with MON Margaret's story. MON "Death Of A Soldier: A Mother's Story" is more than a MON mediation on grief. It's a scrutiny of 21st century warfare. MON Original music and sound design by Lucinda Mason Brown.

As Simon Garfield writer of On MON the Map: Why the world looks the way it does , explains we MON should think of maps like the biography of a famous person; MON highly subjective and usually with some sort of angle. MON We hear this authorship at work when we join Bob Egan of MON PopSpotsNYC; he maps out where famous album cover photos MON were taken in his native New York and puts them online for MON us all to visit. We join him on the hunt through Google maps MON and on the streets as tracks down his latest quarry. Bob is MON adding his own layer of information to the digital mapping MON of our world for Dr Mark Graham of the Oxford Internet MON Institute this is happening all around us.

Now it is coming back throughout Europe , either MON naturally or by being introduced, as MON here in the UK. Wherever they settle they transform the MON landscape by building dams and channels and create a MON landscape of pools and watercourses that hold back flood MON water, pollution and silt from entering the main rivers. In MON these times of severe weather events and flooding beavers MON are doing for free what landscape engineers would do at MON great cost. Viewing nature in terms of the services it MON provides, or evaluating nature in financial terms, is a MON growing movement in conservation. Nature can be seen on MON balance sheets and hopefully respected for all that it gives MON us for free. But there is concern that monetising nature MON leaves it open to the ruthless world of finance and trading MON and diverts attention away from the real aims of MON conservation. Monty Don grabs this thorny issue and chairs a MON debate between the writer and conservationist Tony Juniper MON and the economist Clive Spash.

MON Not only does he play exclusive versions of some of these MON songs, in a frank and no-punches-pulled interview, Rufus MON also reveals what part drugs, sex, near-death experiences MON and extended arguments with his father played in the making MON of this remarkable album MON "Frankly, Wainwright could be singing lists of names out of MON the phone book and it would still be more exciting and MON inventive than 99% of the other albums out there" MON THIS SESSION WAS ALSO FILMED AND A VERSION OF THIS PROGRAMME MON WILL BE AVAILABLE ON THE RED BUTTON AND BBC IPLAYER MON Producer: Paul Kobrak.

TUE TUE Chris Packham presents the roaring southern cassowary of TUE Australia's Queensland. The territorial roaring calls of the TUE world's second heaviest bird, the cassowary are odd enough, TUE but it still won't prepare you for your first sighting of TUE these extraordinary birds. Reaching a height of over 1.5 TUE metres, they have thick legs armed with ferocious claws, TUE blue - skinned faces and scarlet dangling neck- wattles. TUE These are striking enough but it is the large horn, or TUE casque, looking like a blunt shark's fin on the bird's head TUE that really stands out. It's earned this giant its common TUE name - cassowary comes from the Papuan for "horned head". TUE Such a primitive looking creature seems out of place in the TUE modern world and although the southern cassowary occurs TUE widely in New Guinea, it's still hunted for food there. TUE Cassowaries can kill dogs and injure people with their stout TUE claws, but the bird usually comes off worst in TUE confrontations.

As whale numbers recover from TUE hunting and the number of ships that ply the oceans TUE increases this is a growing problem. TUE What can be done? Monty Don explores this little known TUE threat to whales, a threat that is found in all oceans all TUE over the world and effects most species of whale. It seems TUE that the welcome news that whale numbers are slowly rising TUE is being countered by concern over ship strikes, most of TUE which are fatal. A simple solution is to slow the speed of TUE ships down to around 10 knots, but this has financial TUE implications for the shipping industry, so a balance has to TUE be struck. Technology could help, but it is expensive, not TUE reliable in choppy seas and in the case of sonar could fill TUE the ocean with more noise. How can we share the oceans with TUE giants and still move 90% of traded goods by boat?

TUE That is the land of lost content, TUE I see it shining TUE plain, TUE The happy highways where I went TUE And cannot come again." TUE So wrote the poet AE Housman lamenting the loss of his TUE brother in the Boer war in his epic poem A Shropshire Lad. TUE It harks back to a simple idyllic rural way of life that is TUE forever changed at the end of the nineteenth century as TUE hundreds of country boys go off to fight and never return. TUE George Butterworth adapted his words to music in 1913 just TUE before the outbreak of the Great War.

This influential philosophical TUE distinction was made in the 20th century by Isaiah Berlin TUE but it's rooted in the ideas of the TUE hugely influential Greek Philosopher Plato. TUE Negative freedom involves getting things out of your way - TUE be it the state, the police or your parents. Positive TUE freedom is the ability to take command of your own self and TUE make decisions that are in your own interest. TUE Berlin used the metaphor of doors: Negative freedom concerns TUE the number of doors open to you. Positive Freedom is about TUE how you choose between them. TUE Angie talks to conservative MP and ex-banker Jessie Norman TUE and to environmental activist and ex-Jain monk Satish Kumar TUE to see how these two ideas of freedom can co-exist.

TUE TUE She speaks to Aunts from America, India, Australia, TUE Egypt and South Africa, and reflects on the universal and TUE contrasting problems that occur in their particular society. TUE These Aunts, many of whom have dramatic personal lives TUE themselves, offer advice in newspaper columns, on radio TUE phone-ins and on-line. TUE Irma draws on her ample experience to offer a useful TUE perspective on their approach to problem solving. Together TUE they discuss the problems specific to their communities and TUE listeners hear examples of some of the letters they receive TUE and the advice given. TUE Programme 2: Bachi Kakaria, India. TUE Irma talks Bachi Kakaria, who writes her advice column TUE Giving Gyan in two Indian newspapers, the Mumbai Mirror and TUE the Bangalore Mirror. TUE Giving Gyan translates roughly as 'laying it on the line', TUE and Bachi certainly does that. This is a very different TUE style of agony aunting to the one we're used to. She is TUE level headed and empathetic but doesn't wrap her advice in TUE any sentiment, as her strap line intimates: 'There are agony TUE aunts and then there's Bachi, she'll sort you out'. TUE Her qualifications, she says, are none - other than a close TUE observation of life, personal and professional. Her post bag TUE reflects the concerns particularly of young people who, TUE after years of Indian socialism, have been plunged into TUE consumerism. On the one hand there is liberalism and, on the TUE other, conservatism - so there is confusion and conflict in TUE the minds of India's young.

TUE TUE This week he explores events in the year 1485 - a famous TUE turning point in British history, TUE with the death of a King and the birth of the Tudor dynasty. TUE On 22 August 1485, the Battle of Bosworth Field was fought TUE between the armies of King Richard III of England and rival TUE claimant to the throne, Henry Tudor, Earl of Richmond. TUE Richard died in battle and Henry Tudor became King Henry TUE VII. TUE Spin the globe to the West and in Mesoamerica at this time, TUE it is said that more than 80,000 prisoners were sacrificed TUE at the behest of Aztec ruler Ahuitzotl over four days. But TUE to what extent is this story of mass ritual killing, TUE circulated by the Spanish conquistadors, borne out by recent TUE archaeological excavations at the site? TUE And in Russia, in 1485, Ivan the Great accepted the title TUE Grand Prince of All Russia. Sometimes referred to as the TUE "gatherer of the Russian lands", he tripled the territory of TUE his state, and became one of the longest-reigning Russian TUE rulers - but to what extent did he become a model for his TUE successors? TUE In 1485 in Spain, the Inquisition was under way. Jews, then TUE Muslims and Protestants were put through the Inquisitional TUE Court and condemned to torture, imprisonment, exile and TUE death - events which have left a legacy in modern Spain. TUE Meanwhile, in Italy Leonardo da Vinci turned his mind to TUE flight, and designed a multitude of mechanical devices, TUE including parachutes, and drew detailed plans for a TUE human-powered flying machine.

BBC News correspondent Jonathan Amos will WED cover the event for a special edition of WED Radio 4's 'Frontiers' programme. WED In August, the Rosetta spacecraft was the first to go into WED orbit around a comet; its images of the extraordinarily WED rugged landscape of this 4 kilometre space mountain of ice WED and space dust have already left everyone awestruck. WED Previous missions have been fleeting fly-bys. WED If all goes well on the 12th, the orbiting mothercraft will WED release a small robotic probe, named Philae, to fall and WED land on the cometary surface. If the lander makes it safely, WED it will be the first to sample and analyse directly the WED make-up of a comet, and photograph a comet's landscape from WED an explorer's eyeview. WED The 'ifs' are big though. After several hours' descent under WED the comet's miniscule gravitational pull, the probe might WED just bounce off the surface or crunch into a boulder or WED cliff. Only after putting Rosetta into orbit around Comet WED C-G did the mission's scientists discover the treacherous WED nature of the terrain to which they are sending their probe. WED The lander is calculated to make contact with the comet at WED human walking speed but if its anchoring harpoons and the WED drills in its feet don't work, Philae will be lost in space. WED Jonathan Amos will be presenting 'Frontiers' from mission WED control at the European Space Operations Centre in Germany WED on the day of the landing. By the time the programme goes to WED air, we should know whether the probe made it. WED The probe's deployment is not the final stage of the Rosetta WED mission. The mothercraft will accompany Comet C-G for the WED next year as both approach the Sun and then turn back out WED into deep space. Rosetta will be making measurements all the WED way as the comet's icy nucleus heats up and produces its WED great tail of gas and dust. Flying Rosetta as the comet WED becomes florid will also be a tricky business. WED Comets are widely believed to be made of material unchanged WED since the planets came into existence, 4.5 billion years WED ago. They represent the original stuff of which planets were WED built. The Rosetta orbiter's and lander's findings may well WED tell us whether comets brought water and life's chemical WED ingredients to get life started on Earth. Jonathan talks to WED mission scientists and other comet experts about why they WED want to study comets in such detail and what Rosetta should WED tell us about comets in their own right as the most WED spectacular and most enigmatic objects in the solar system.

THU THU Chris Packham presents the Plumbeous antbird in a Bolivian THU rainforest. When army ants go on the march in the Bolivian THU rainforest, they attract a huge retinue of followers; often THU heard but rarely seen. These include Antbirds. The Plumbeous THU Antbird is a lead-coloured bird; the males have a patch of THU blue skin around their eyes, whilst the females are bright THU russet below. Like other antbirds they are supreme skulkers, THU hiding under curtains of dense foliage and only betraying THU themselves by their calls and song, a particularly fluty THU call. But you'd think that with a name like antbirds, their THU diet is easily diagnosed, but surprisingly antbirds rarely THU eat ants. Instead, most species shadow the columns of army THU ants which often change nest-sites or raid other ant THU colonies. As the ants march across the forest floor, they THU flush insects and other invertebrates which are quickly THU snapped by the attendant antbirds.

She visits art historian Dr Matt Lodder who is THU writing what will be the first art history text on THU tattooing. She meets Alex Binnie, proprietor of Into You THU Tattoo - one of the first tattoo parlours in the UK to THU openly fuse fine art and tattooing. THU The writer Shelley Jackson caught public attention worldwide THU when she launched her Skin project in 2003. Skin was to be a THU short story which would exist as over two thousand words THU individually tattooed on volunteers. These participants THU would become the words in Shelley's story. As the project THU celebrates its 10th anniversary, Mary Anne talks to Shelley THU about the inspiration behind Skin and she meets one of THU Shelley's words - the novelist and short story connoisseur THU Nicholas Royle. THU Mary Anne discusses how fine art is influencing and being THU influenced by tattooing with Sion Smith, editor of Skin THU Deep, the UK's best-selling Tattoo Magazine and Trent THU Aitken-Smith editor of Tattoo Master. She talks to one of THU the new generation of tattoo artists, Amanda Wachob, who THU sees skin as the ultimate canvas.

THU Programme 5: Youssra el-Sharkawy, Egypt. THU Youssra el-Sharkawy had an advice column in The Egyptian THU Gazette, an English speaking newspaper. Agony Aunts are THU usually older than the people who write to them, but Youssra THU is young - only 27 years old. Her career as an agony aunt THU began when she joined an all-women theatre troupe and became THU drawn into helping her fellow actors with their problems. THU Her correspondents tend to be young and idealistic and THU Youssra deals with their concerns with a rational and mature THU approach.

FRI FRI 05:58 Tweet of the Day b04mlpll (Listen) FRI Bell Miner FRI FRI Tweet of the Day is the voice of birds and our relationship FRI with them, from around the world. FRI FRI Chris Packham presents the bell miner of eastern Australia. FRI The sound of a tiny hammer striking a musical anvil in a FRI grove of gum trees signifies that bell miners are in search FRI of sugar. More often heard than seen the bell miner is a FRI smallish olive-green bird with a short yellow bill, with a FRI small orange patch behind the eye. It belongs to a large FRI family of birds known as honeyeaters because many have a FRI sweet tooth and use their long bills to probe flowers for FRI nectar. But the bell miner gets its sugar hit in other ways. FRI Roving in sociable flocks, bell miners scour eucalyptus FRI leaves for tiny bugs called psyllids who produce a FRI protective waxy dome. Bell miners feed on these sweet FRI tasting shelters. Some scientists suggest that Bell Miners FRI actively farm these insects by avoiding over-exploiting of FRI the psyllid colonies, allowing the insects numbers to FRI recover before the birds' next visit. So dependent are they FRI on these psyllids bugs that Bell Miners numbers can often FRI fluctuate in association with any boom-and-bust changes in FRI psyllid population.

FRI FRI The Fleet Air Arm's most decorated pilot, his life reads FRI like a handbook in beating the odds. FRI Landing on a flight deck is acknowledged as one of the most FRI difficult things a pilot can do. Eric Brown has held the FRI world record for the most flight deck landings - 2,407 - for FRI over 65 years. He was one of only two men on his ship, HMS FRI Audacity, to survive a German U-boat bombing. FRI In a long and remarkable life he has witnessed first-hand FRI momentous events in world history, from the Berlin Olympics FRI in 1936 to the liberation of the Belsen concentration camp. FRI Flying, he believes, is in his blood. He originally climbed FRI into the open cockpit of a Gloster Gauntlet as a child to FRI sit on his father's knee. Thirty years later he would pilot FRI Britain's first ever supersonic flight. FRI He says: "It's an exhilarating world to live in. There's FRI always that aura of risk - you come to value life in a FRI slightly different way." FRI Producer: Paula McGinley.

Rebecca Lloyd Evans heads into the Jamaican FRI community in Birmingham to discover FRI their moving stories. FRI These are the women whose men live the inner city life, FRI usually caught up in crime, chaos and gang-culture. On the FRI one hand, there's glamour - fast cars, nice presents and the FRI respect that comes from being on the arm of someone everyone FRI knows in the gang world. But Rebecca learns there is also a FRI lot of pain. She hears candid accounts from those women FRI who's men have been sent to jail, those who had to flee FRI their lives in the Caribbean and start from scratch in FRI Birmingham because of crimes their men committed, and those FRI who lost their man forever to a bullet. FRI And what about having families? Rebecca listens to the FRI poignant tales of when women had to hide their pregnancies FRI and even give birth alone. She learns that 2.4 kids with one FRI Mum and Dad is certainly not the norm in this culture, where FRI it is standard for men to have multiple children with a FRI number of different baby mothers. She hears about the drama FRI this causes between the women and the complications of FRI children with brothers and sisters they may not even know FRI about.
