The SAT streets of London in the 1720s presented startling contrasts SAT of wealth and poverty, respectability and debauchery, SAT extravagance and utter destitution. Poverty and disgrace SAT resulted in huge number of babies being abandoned. So SAT shocked was he by this situation, that Thomas Coram, a SAT former shipbuilder began a one-man campaign which led 17 SAT years later to the establishment of a "Hospital for the SAT Maintenance and Education of Exposed and Deserted Young SAT Children" which became known as the Foundling Hospital. SAT Philanthropic acts by artists including Hogarth, SAT Gainsborough, Reynolds and also Handel, not only raised SAT funds for the hospital but transformed it into a fashionable SAT place for art and music, including the first performance of SAT Handel's Messiah. For the 25,000 children who were accepted SAT (until its role changed in 1953), it was a place of SAT 'maintenance and education'. Today, some of the original SAT hospital furniture, artworks and staircases, have been SAT rehoused in what is now the Foundling Museum, which stands SAT on the same site. The Museum also hosts archive documents SAT and tokens; objects like buttons and coins left by the SAT mothers as a unique means of identification should they ever SAT be able to return at a later date when their fortunes had SAT changed and reclaim their children. Using personal accounts SAT from 'Coram's children' Archive on 4 tells the astonishing SAT and moving story of the Foundling Hospital and its legacy. SAT Producer Sarah Blunt.

SAT SAT 21:00 Drama b05vsyz1 (Listen) SAT Rasselas, Prince of Abyssinia SAT SAT An intriguing, contemporary take on Samuel Johnson's classic SAT tale of an African prince in search of happiness. SAT SAT A star cast is led by Ashley Zhangazha as Rasselas, Jeff SAT Rawle as Samuel Johnson and Lucian Msamati - the RSC's first SAT black Iago - as the poet Imlac. Singer and actor Cynthia SAT Erivo makes her BBC radio drama debut as Princess Nekayah. SAT SAT Recorded on location at Dr Johnson's House, 17 Gough Square, SAT in the City of London - the very place where over 260 years SAT ago, Johnson compiled his famous dictionary and then in SAT January 1759, wrote his instant bestseller 'Rasselas' in a SAT week, to pay for his mother's funeral. SAT SAT Acclaimed 18th century philosophy fuels a contemporary SAT desert road trip in this inventive and playful adaptation by SAT Jonathan Holloway. Period and modern collide in a satirical SAT fantasy as Rasselas and his companions follow their quest SAT for happiness and purpose to Cairo, where they encounter SAT Arab Spring revolutionaries. SAT SAT Jonathan Holloway's drama also incorporates a compelling SAT glimpse of Johnson himself - the lonely, 50-year-old SAT celebrity and writer, in debt, in poor health, and missing SAT his young Jamaican manservant, Francis Barber, who had run SAT away to sea. Born a slave, Barber was freed at Johnson's SAT insistence and treated kindly by him. SAT SAT Johnson had struggled through many years of poverty before SAT moving to Gough Square and becoming a highly respected SAT writer. 'Rasselas', his singular, progressive rumination on SAT human happiness, is his only novel and his most popular SAT work.

SAT SAT 22:15 Unreliable Evidence b05w3wkt (Listen) SAT The Law of the Road SAT SAT Clive Anderson and a panel of legal experts discuss how SAT changes to our traffic laws could reduce the numbers of SAT motorists, cyclists and pedestrians killed or injured on the SAT road.? SAT SAT Our road traffic laws effectively offer everyone at the age SAT of 17 the opportunity to take to the wheel of a car - even SAT under the influence of a modest amount of alcohol. Our roads SAT are governed by a complex set of rules and regulations which SAT are often hard to understand - and even harder to enforce. SAT SAT The discussion ranges across raising the legal driving age, SAT lowering speed limits, imposing stricter penalties for SAT drink-driving and other offences, and reversing the burden SAT of proof for the most serious motoring offences. SAT SAT Do the penalties available to magistrates and judges provide SAT sufficient deterrent to breaking the laws of the road? And SAT do the courts make sufficient distinction between motorists SAT who flout the laws - violators - and those who merely make SAT mistakes? Should a motorist who drives carelessly and SAT collides with a pedestrian be punished more severely than SAT one who collides with a tree? SAT SAT Clive's guests are Sally Kyd Cunningham, professor of law at SAT the University of Leicester who specialises in road traffic SAT offences; Julian Hunt, former crown prosecutor and now a SAT barrister who both defends and prosecutes in road traffic SAT cases; Richard Monkhouse, chair of the Magistrates SAT Association with over 18 years' experience as a lay justice; SAT and Simeon Maskrey QC, barrister, Deputy High Court Judge, SAT Recorder of the Crown Court and keen cyclist who admits that SAT he's been known to break the law by jumping red lights in SAT order to escape the attention of thundering lorries.

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 The rounds vary between Specialist Subjects and General SAT Knowledge, quickfire bell-and-buzzer rounds and the SAT 'Highbrow and 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. SAT SAT The host, Steve Punt, although best known as a satirist on SAT The Now Show also delights in all facets of knowledge, not SAT just in the Humanities (his educational background) but in SAT the sciences as well.

When order is restored two Muslims and a SUN Tamil security guard lie dead. Christians are threatened and SUN intimidated. SUN SUN Charles Haviland, the BBC's South Asia editor and former SUN correspondent in Sri Lanka, explores why a militant, violent SUN strain of Buddhism has emerged in recent years. They claim SUN Buddhism in Sri Lanka is under threat and they need to act SUN to preserve a way of life which is being eroded. He meets SUN victims of the militant monks and hears Buddhist elders SUN condemn the violence as against Buddhist principles, but SUN they have no control over the nationalistic, hardline SUN followers of the Bodu Bala Sena group. SUN SUN Recent elections in Sri Lanka have led to a change in SUN government, and the new Minister for Buddhist Affairs says SUN the law will be applied more rigorously to clamp down on SUN groups agitating religious tensions. But already there is a SUN new flashpoint at a mosque, which the militant monks say is SUN actually an older Buddhist shrine. The government has backed SUN them, and ordered the mosque demolished. Does more religious SUN trouble lie ahead in Sri Lanka? SUN SUN Translations by Ranga Chandrarathne and Indeewara SUN Thilakarathne SUN Produced by Vince Hunt.

Bob SUN Flowerdew, Bunny Guinness and Matthew Wilson answer SUN questions from a local audience. SUN SUN Produced by Darby Dorras SUN Assistant Producer: Hannah Newton SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN Questions and Answers SUN Q – We have a long south-facing drive, partly paved and SUN partly lawn, on a busy road. Could you give suggestions for SUN an edible hedge that would provide a low screen? SUN Bob SUN – Gooseberries. There are 80/100 varieties available. They SUN are not expensive and are relatively easy to look after. SUN Matthew SUN – If you want to go exotic try *Acca sellowiana* or *Feijoa SUN sellowiana*, the Pineapple Guava. SUN Bunny SUN – I would do a mixed hedge – gooseberries, redcurrants, SUN blackcurrants – you can plant them quite close together. And SUN some wild garlic at the base. SUN Q – When can you apply ash from a wood-burning stove on an SUN allotment site, where shouldn’t you apply it, and do you SUN need to let it stand for a while before you apply it? SUN Bob SUN – It is best stored as it absorbs carbon dioxide and water SUN from the air so it becomes slightly less fierce. It is SUN quite high in lime so avoid lime-hating plants like SUN Rhododendrons or Azaleas – other than that almost everything SUN will enjoy it.Things that need it most are old cooking SUN apples and gooseberry bushes. Potatoes, tomatoes and onions SUN also benefit. Don’t do it during the winter because it’ll SUN wash away but any time during the growing season will be SUN fine. You can also add it to your compost if you don’t want SUN to apply it directly. SUN Q – I moved into a house with a very overgrown garden and SUN over the past three years I’ve slowly cut back the foliage SUN to reveal some really lovely, mature bushes – Rhododendron, SUN Mahonia, Hebes and a Quince bush. Because of their size, SUN they lean over and are quite leggy. How can I correct them SUN and make them more attractive? SUN Bunny SUN – Rough bark Rhododendron will respond to a heavy chopping SUN back but watch out for being so brutal with the Hebes. SUN Quince bush – If it’s the small Chaenomeles – you can treat SUN that like a hedge and be quite brutal. Ideally you’ll do SUN this later on in the year. SUN Mahonia SUN – fine to cut back quite brutally. SUN Matthew SUN – after pruning make sure that you give the ground a really SUN good feed with well-rotted organic matter and lots and lots SUN of water. SUN Q – I’ve always wanted to grow coriander but every time I SUN have a go it goes to seed. How can I stop this? SUN Bunny SUN – Depends on time of sowing – sow it in September and pick SUN it over the winter. Also, don’t move it – sow it where you SUN want it. If you sow it into plugs and then move it that SUN checks its growth. SUN Bob SUN – there are varieties that have been developed for the leaf SUN but most varieties have been grown for the seed so that’s SUN why they tend to bolt. There are some hybrid varieties that SUN are good for the leaf such as Cilantro. Be sure to use lots SUN of water. SUN Q – I need some advice on the established asparagus and SUN rhubarb growing in my allotment. The allotment is being SUN refurbished so I need to lift them – can they be grown in SUN pots? They would have to stay in the pots for one growing SUN season, possibly a second. SUN Bob SUN – Rhubarb will not be a problem. I wouldn’t put it in a pot SUN rather one of those plastic trugs. But the asparagus won’t SUN survive. SUN Q – In our area we have a lot of street planting boxes that SUN are in very close proximity to exhaust fumes. Shrubs SUN survive quite well but are there any flowering plants that SUN might like to live in them as well? SUN Matthew SUN – It’s tough! As much as the fumes from the exhaust it’s SUN the heat too which causes a problem. Something that springs SUN to mind would be the Daylily (Hemerocallis) because the SUN flowers only last 36hrs but there is a succession of them so SUN you reduce the risk of them all getting frazzled. SUN Bunny SUN – Lots of Alstroemerias would work – they can flower from SUN April/May right through to the first frost. Canna iridiflora SUN is a hardy one that could survive – flowers from July SUN through to the frosts. Or a beautiful blue Clemitis SUN durandii. SUN Bob SUN – Let Aubrieta hang over the edges. Wall flowers are tough SUN and show well.The easy option is to get a packet of SUN Nasturtium seeds.

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. Most of the SUN unedited conversations are being archived by the British SUN Library and used to build up a collection of voices SUN capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade SUN of the millennium.

SUN These 4 episodes focus in part on the story of the proud but SUN impoverished vicar of Hogglestock, Josiah Crawley and the SUN accusation that he has stolen and cashed a cheque. The whole SUN of Barset has an opinion about Crawley's guilt or innocence, SUN but no-one is more affected by it than Archdeacon Grantly's SUN son, Henry, who has fallen in love with Crawley's daughter, SUN Grace. Meanwhile, Johnny Eames has returned to try for the SUN hand of Lily Dale, who is still devastated by the betrayal SUN of her amoral fiance, Adolphus Crosbie.

SUN SUN Maggie Steed stars as Mrs Baxter and is joined by Adam Kotz, SUN Tim Pigott-Smith, Samuel Barnett and Scarlett Alice Johnson. SUN SUN The Barchester Chronicles is Anthony Trollope's much-loved SUN series of witty, gently satirical stories of provincial life SUN set within the fictional cathedral town of Barchester and SUN the surrounding county of Barsetshire. With a focus on the SUN lives, loves and tribulations of the local clergy and rural SUN gentry, the canvas is broad and colourful, with a wonderful SUN set of iconic characters whose lives we become intimately SUN involved in as they grow up, grow old and fall in or out of SUN love and friendship across the years.

SUN SUN Lesley examines three case studies - the huge redevelopment SUN schemes at Earl's Court and on the Greenwich Peninsula, as SUN well as a development in rural Suffolk. She asks whether SUN developers are being allowed to duck their obligations to SUN provide affordable homes as a condition of planning SUN permission.

SUN SUN And what of the commuted sum - where developers pay a fee in SUN lieu of providing affordable housing? How is that working?

SUN SUN In the first of two programmes, Aaronovitch will examine the SUN role played by unproven psychoanalytic theories which, from SUN the 1980s, spread from the world of therapists in Canada and SUN the USA to social work, medicine and then to law enforcement SUN in Britain. SUN SUN From the NSPCC to academia it was believed that children SUN were being sexually abused in group Satanic rituals, which SUN involved murder and animal sacrifice. The programme will SUN explore how these bizarre ideas took hold, how they were SUN related to mistaken psychotherapeutic practices, and how SUN they resonate still.

In the UK, they're almost confined as MON breeding birds to the Scottish Highlands. They don't tend to MON fly away when approached which led our ancestors to believe MON that they are stupid. "Dotterel" derives from the same MON source as "dotard" and this tameness meant that the birds MON were easy prey for Victorian collectors.

Akbar seems to have managed to combine a MON ruthless early career with a startling religious tolerance MON in later life. His empire covered a huge swathe of the MON Indian subcontinent, from the Bay of Bengal in the east to MON the Arabian Sea, and southwards to the Deccan. Akbar showed MON no mercy in his pursuit of power and secured his gains with MON an iron fist. The defenders of a fort in Rajasthan chose MON mass suicide rather than surrender and Akbar went on to MON slaughter, some say, more than 20,000 inhabitants. And yet MON he seems to have grasped the diversity of beliefs and of MON culture across the land he ruled and propagated his own MON syncretic system of religious faith known as Din-I-Lahi. His MON stance has made him a pet for modern secularists but MON Professor Khilnani says we should be cautious. "However MON complex his motivations might have been, his commitment to MON pluralism yielded clear-cut instrumental advantages: it MON allowed him to expand his empire and maintain dominion over MON so many subjects."

MON MON Coming this week from the University of Surrey, The 3rd MON Degree is a funny, lively and dynamic quiz show aimed at MON cultivating the next generation of Radio 4 listeners while MON delighting the current ones. MON MON The Specialist Subjects in this episode are Politics, MON Business and Physics and the questions range from Black MON Friday and the Gang Of Four to Ghandi and George Michael - MON and the show boasts not one, but two jokes about Quantum MON Mechanics. 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 The rounds vary between Specialist Subjects and General MON Knowledge, quick-fire bell-and-buzzer rounds and the MON 'Highbrow and 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. MON MON The host, Steve Punt, although best known as a satirist on MON The Now Show also delights in all facets of knowledge, not MON just in the Humanities (his educational background) but in MON the sciences as well. He has made a number of documentaries MON for Radio 4, including The Poet Unwound - The History Of The MON Spleen, as well as a half-hour comedy for Radio 4's Big Bang MON Day set in the Large Hadron Collider, called The Genuine MON Particle.

The partnership with David has MON continued to the present day taking them travelling and MON filming around the world. His new series 'From Venice to MON Istanbul' will air later this year. MON MON Rick talks about why their dynamic works well but also how a MON shared love of wine can also cause a few spats while MON filming.

Based on casts made from moulds of the MON artist's body, the sculptures are made out of cast iron and MON stand staring at the horizon over 3 kilometres of shore, MON stretching almost 1 km out to sea. MON MON The installation, called Another Place, was never meant to MON be permanent and there was opposition to it - from MON conservationists, yachtsmen and those who considered the MON naked form to be pornographic. But the locals came to love MON them and fought to keep them and, nearly a decade on, the MON figures are still there. MON MON Unusually for a piece of art, Another Place is a favourite MON on the travel site Trip Advisor, with over six hundred MON reviews rating it an average of five stars. This is an MON artwork that speaks to people. Visitors dress the figures in MON hats and scarves. People leave flowers beside them. MON MON Sara Parker meets Antony Gormley in his Kings Cross studio MON and discovers how the project was conceived out of both an MON artistic vision and an attempt at economic regeneration.

MON MON In the second of two programmes, Aaronovitch re-examines the MON role played by unproven psychoanalytic theories which, from MON the 1980s, spread from the world of therapists in Canada and MON the USA to social work, medicine and then to law enforcement MON in Britain. MON MON The programme explores the parallels between the belief in MON ritual abuse with some of the claims being made today about MON VIP paedophile rings and group murder. MON MON Some of the mistakes of the past - such as the false MON accusations made against parents in the Orkneys and Rochdale MON of satanic abuse - have been acknowledged. But, Aaronovitch MON argues, without a profound understanding of how and why such MON moral panics arise we are unlikely to avoid similar mistakes MON in the future. And when such mistakes recur we risk an MON over-reaction and a return to a culture of denial.

MON Dr Adam Rutherford investigates what modern gene sequencing MON can (and can't) tell us with scientific certainty and MON separates the hype and hyperbole from the often complex MON picture presented by modern gene sequencing MON At "the world's biggest family history show": Who Do You MON Think You Are? at the NEC in Birmingham, he talks to the MON super sleuths tracking down their ancestors and he hears the MON moving story of Helen and Julia, mother and daughter. Julia MON spent 20 years fulfilling a promise made when she was just MON ten years old... to find the identity of her mother's birth MON parents. Through DNA she found her mother's American GI MON father and discovered her four half siblings, despite the MON fact every single piece of information in the adoption file MON was wrong! MON But when it comes to our deeper history, we have millions, MON even billions of ancestors, and from a mitochondrial DNA or MON Y chromosome DNA test, being told you're descended from the MON Romans, the Vikings, the Celts, or that you're a direct MON descendant of Charlemagne or Genghis Khan is both true, and MON meaningless.

TUE TUE 09:00 The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock b05wxzxv (Listen) TUE TS Eliot was only 22 years old when he wrote The Love Song TUE of J. Alfred Prufrock - yet many people read the speaker as TUE a middle-aged man contemplating ageing and mortality. This TUE is one of the extraordinary features of the poem that first TUE drew Alan Yentob to it as a teenager. To mark the centenary TUE of its publication, Alan meets others who have found meaning TUE in the poem - from the psychologist Adam Phillips to the TUE singer Emmy the Great. And we hear readings by Jeremy Irons, TUE Ben Whishaw and the poet himself. TUE TUE One of the poem's most conspicuous themes is indecision, and TUE we hear about Eliot's youthful deliberations over the kind TUE of life he should pursue. In the aftermath of its TUE publication, Eliot referred to The Love Song of J. Alfred TUE Prufrock as his 'swan's song' to poetry - an indication that TUE he anticipated he might not continue to be a poet in his TUE later life. TUE TUE Some people find the poem speaks to the trials of TUE adolescence; some detect in it a darkness and morbidity that TUE is disturbing. Poets Simon Armitage and Kayo Chingonyi both TUE read the poem at school and give us their interpretations. TUE The programme also includes literary critics Professors TUE Sarah Churchwell and Hannah Sullivan. TUE TUE The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is perhaps most TUE memorable for its imagery. Some of its most quotable lines TUE are those which paint pictures in the mind of 'sawdust TUE restaurants', 'yellow smoke', 'coffee spoons' and 'white TUE flannel trousers'. With this in mind, the artist Mat TUE Collishaw has been commissioned to make a short film in TUE response to the poem. You can hear him interviewed about it TUE in the programme and his film will be available on BBC Arts TUE Online from the date of the broadcast.

It is a curious tale of humanity in search of TUE itself. TUE TUE Peering into the eyes of a primate we see a reflection of TUE ourselves and that has been an enduring fascination through TUE time. It was thought in the 18th Century that the only TUE reason chimps didn't talk in front of people was because TUE they were afraid we would enslave them. TUE TUE From King Kong to the PG Tea chimps, we have exploited their TUE similarity to ourselves to create fear and humour. They are TUE so similar yet so different, so close to our behaviour yet TUE they shock and appal us with their distinctly animal like TUE traits. TUE TUE In Victorian times gorillas were often presented in museums TUE in a ferocious pose charging towards the observer, a pose TUE more reflecting the fact it was being shot at and defending TUE itself rather than a true likeness of the reality of ape TUE life. Today however they are seen as dignified vegetarians TUE of the forest, huge yet gentle, demanding our hushed TUE respect. TUE TUE Documentaries on primates are always amongst the most TUE popular as we pick apart their lives for yet ever more TUE detailed clues about how we are alike yet still worlds TUE apart.

TUE TUE Malik Ambar's story challenges some of our familiar TUE perceptions of slavery. He was part of a tradition of TUE military slavery which created elite warriors, educated and TUE nurtured by their masters and treated almost like sons. Once TUE freed, his power base grew. He took on the mighty Mughal TUE Empire of the north using sophisticated guerrilla tactics TUE and an ability to harass his enemy under cover of darkness. TUE TUE Emperor Jahangir became obsessed with the Ethiopian, calling TUE him "the ill-starred Ambar" and "Ambar of dark fate". A TUE painting commissioned by Jahangir shows the Ethiopian's TUE severed head on a spear and the Emperor firing arrows into TUE it. However, as Prof. Khilnani reveals, all is not what it TUE seems in that image. TUE TUE Sunil Khilnani contrasts the rise to power of a black TUE African in 16th century India with contemporary Indian TUE attitudes towards people of African descent - a racism even TUE shared by Mahatma Gandhi during his South African years.

WED WED 11:00 Shadow of the Sun King b05wyhns (Listen) WED Episode 1 WED WED As we approach the 300th anniversary of the death of Louis WED XIV, Professor Julian Swann assesses the Sun King's life and WED achievements - and also examines his key role in unwittingly WED spurring Britain to become a global super-power. WED WED In the first of two programmes, Swann travels to Paris to WED visit many of the sites that can claim to be haunted by WED Louis XIV's legacy - from Versailles and the Louvre to the WED Palais Royal and Les Invalides. WED WED Louis has often been portrayed as a kind of totalitarian WED dictator within France and a triumphant warlord abroad. WED Swann argues that he was neither. As King, he was dependent WED on negotiating power-sharing with France's nobles - the WED splendour of Versailles was a political honey-trap, designed WED to entice the nobility rather than intimidate them. The WED glorious, glamorous picture we have of Louis was largely the WED result of frighteningly modern PR on the part of his WED right-hand man, Jean-Baptiste Colbert. WED WED Abroad, the Sun King's obsessive military adventurism all WED but bankrupted the country, leaving Louis deeply regretful WED on his deathbed. His persecution of France's Huguenot WED Protestants was an appalling own goal, alienating other WED European powers and seriously harming the French economy. WED WED However, Louis remains one of the most significant monarchs WED in European history, not least as he embedded a sense of WED France's greatness into the national consciousness. WED WED It's intriguing to reflect then that the Sun King's birth WED was the result of a very rare liaison between his parents, WED that France was in utter chaos when he was a child - and WED that his coronation was a fiasco.

WED WED Dara was the eldest - and favourite - son of Emperor Shah WED Jahan. He became known in the Mughal court as Baba Dara - a WED Mughal Daddy's Boy - and spent his princely allowance WED pursuing his passion for religious ideas and translating WED scriptures. In doing so he opened a door to Indian religion WED and philosophy for later Western scholars. WED WED Dara believed that all religions converged to a single WED monotheistic truth, like rivers meeting together in the WED ocean. This was enough for his brother to label him an WED apostate and to wage a war of succession for the Mughal WED throne. Sunil Khilnani is in Delhi where, after his capture, WED Dara Shikoh's public humiliation and execution were played WED out. He considers how different the course of Indian history WED might have been if Dara had been victorious and Aurangzeb WED had been the one paraded through the city dressed in rags.

WED WED 21:00 The Mother of the Sea b04g7rd5 (Listen) WED Every year in Uto, a remote town at the Southern tip of WED Japan, a festival is held to celebrate a woman known locally WED as the Mother of the Sea. She's not a figure from folklore, WED or an ancient goddess, but a British scientist, who never WED even visited Japan. WED WED She was Kathleen Drew, and her work studying the lifecycle WED of edible seaweed on the North Wales coastline in the 1940s WED revolutionised the Japanese production of nori - that dried WED edible seaweed you find wrapped around sushi in high-end WED restaurants and convenience stores around the world. WED WED Her discovery, picked up by chance 6000 miles away from her WED lab in Manchester, enabled nori farmers in Japan to turn WED this nutrient rich food stuff from a gambler's harvest to a WED reliable large scale crop. WED WED Now they gather each year on 14th April at the Drew WED Monument, inscribed with Kathleen's image, to give thanks to WED her with Shinto prayers, offerings and specially composed WED songs. Looking out over the nori fields of the Ariake sea WED they ask Kathleen, who died not long after publishing her WED ground breaking study, to watch over them and increase their WED yields. WED WED Quentin Cooper has been fascinated by Kathleen's remarkable WED story since he heard about it by chance several years ago. WED He travels to Uto to celebrate the Drew Festival with the WED fishermen there and to hear why a scientist all but WED forgotten in her home country means so much to them.

WED WED After the sudden loss of his wife, Michael Turner moves to WED London and develops a close friendship with the Nelsons, who WED live next door - Josh, Samantha and their two young WED daughters Lucy and Rachel. The family seem to represent WED everything Michael fears he may now never have: intimacy, WED children, stability and a family home.

WED WED I Saw a Man, the new novel by Owen Sheers, is a compelling WED story of the desire for truth, the burden of secrets and WED steps toward redemption. It explores the impact we can have WED on each other's lives, even in today's increasingly WED depersonalised, globalised world. WED WED Owen Sheers is a poet, author and playwright.

THU THU 11:30 Notes From a Northern Irish Childhood b05wyq5y (Listen) THU Amidst the violence and bloody conflict of the early 1970s, THU youth orchestras sprang up across Northern Ireland. THU THU Aged 7, Marie-Louise Muir took a bus to orchestra practice THU every Saturday morning, carrying her cello across a THU landscape marred by bomb blasts, riots and civil unrest. THU While the violence raged, she met children from other THU religious backgrounds for the first time. She formed THU friendships - and a love of music - that would endure long THU after the sound of gunfire had faded. THU THU But life moved on for Marie-Louise. Her cello was set aside THU in her attic where it languished for 25 years. Even her own THU children never heard her play. THU THU Now Marie-Louise dusts down her cello and allows it to THU reverberate with memories of a troubled but life-changing THU period. THU THU She joins young musicians on stage for a grand concert in THU her home town of Londonderry, a city once gripped by some of THU the worst violence of the Troubles. In between lessons with THU her cello teacher David, struggling to play John Williams' THU classics, Marie-Louise meets old friends and tutors to THU discover the true impact of music on their lives. In Omagh, THU she revisits the school assembly hall where they used to THU practice with Mary Scully, now one of the world's top double THU bass players. Paul Cassidy, of the world famous Brodsky THU Quartet, recalls carrying his violin through riots in Derry THU and the impact of hearing Grieg's piano concerto for the THU very first time. John, Frank and Gordon came from different THU religious backgrounds but found a shared love of music amid THU hormones and sneaky cigarettes on the bus to orchestra THU practice. THU THU For Marie-Louise Muir, this is a personal and emotionally THU charged journey, taking her back to a time when her cello, THU the orchestra and music provided protection, friendship and THU hope.

THU THU Shivaji is the presiding spirit of the state of Maharashtra THU and its capital, Mumbai. The city's airport and main railway THU station are named after him and there are plans for a statue THU of Shivaji, twice the size of the Statue of Liberty, to be THU built out to sea from the city.

He thought it might be possible to cross THU 40 miles of the Moors from near Osmotherley to Ravenscar in THU 24 hours, crossing only one or two roads. A club was formed THU following the first successful crossing, and with a blackly THU humorous nod to the pain and suffering endured by walkers, a THU tradition grew of reciting an ancient song known as the THU Lyke-Wake Dirge which tells of the soul's journey from earth THU to purgatory. The route was named after this dirge. Clare is THU joined by veterans and newcomers to the walk, who are known THU - depending on the number of crossings they've made - as THU Dirgers, Witches, Doctors of Dolefulness, Masters of Misery THU or, the most senior of all, Past Masters or Mistresses.

FRI Today is the day designated by the United Nations as World FRI Environment Day. The theme of the day this year is “Seven FRI billion dreams. One planet. Consume with care” . The UN FRI reminds us that the well-being of humanity is intimately FRI bound up with the well-being of our planet and the FRI responsible management of the planet’s natural resources. FRI In his homily at his inaugural Mass in March 2013 Pope FRI Francis, said that it was part of our human vocation to be FRI protectors – protectors of people but also protectors of FRI all creation, respecting each of God’s creatures and FRI respecting the environment in which we live. Pope Francis FRI is shortly to produce his second encyclical which also has FRI the care of the environment as its theme. This is not FRI co-incidence. Whatever one’s stance on climate change and FRI global warming, it cannot be contentious to say that we FRI should take care of our planet which, by and large, takes FRI such good care of us. This is not always the case, as FRI recent earthquakes and volcanoes have reminded us, but FRI overall we have very good cause to be grateful to our FRI planet. Most of us take seriously our responsibility to be FRI grateful to those who are good to us. We remember to say FRI thank you and to treat them with respect and affection. FRI Today reminds us that our planet deserves no less. Perhaps FRI it is a good day to be attentive to some aspect of creation FRI that we normally take for granted – to really look at a FRI beautiful tree or plant or flower or really listen to a bird FRI singing its heart out – and to say a heartfelt thank you to FRI its – and our – Creator. FRI Creator God, we thank you for your creation, which you have FRI entrusted to our care. May we keep faith with that trust. FRI Amen.

FRI FRI In Beijing and Guangzhou, Clive explores why China ranks FRI only 82nd in the world and has only qualified for one World FRI Cup, despite the huge popularity of football among fans. FRI FRI Football in China has been plagued by years of corruption FRI scandals, match fixing and bribery, and over 50 football FRI officials were imprisoned in a crackdown in 2012. Clive FRI speaks to a former Chinese player who found himself involved FRI in the scandal, discussing how it has affected the game. FRI FRI Does football really matter when the country is becoming so FRI successful economically? The country's President Xi Jinping FRI thinks it does. A football fan himself, he's issued a major FRI reform to try and turn the game around and put China on a FRI course to win the World Cup. He's even invited stars such as FRI David Beckham to become an ambassador for the game. FRI FRI Clive visits clubs, matches, and the largest football FRI academy in the world, built by a multi-billion dollar FRI property tycoon, to find out whether efforts to improve the FRI national game are paying off. FRI FRI The European leagues are also keen to get in on the Chinese FRI game by training coaches. In the second programme, Clive FRI considers what impact China's desire for football success FRI has had on its relationship with the rest of the footballing FRI world.

FRI FRI 13:45 Incarnations: India in 50 Lives b05wz0kt (Listen) FRI Nainsukh: Owner Transfixed by Goose FRI FRI Prof. Sunil Khilnani profiles Nainsukh, the 18th century FRI artist whose intimate and engaging portraits of a prince's FRI life created a new vision for Indian art. FRI FRI In his paintings of his patron, Balwant Singh, Nainsukh FRI departed from the rigid formality of traditional Indian FRI painting. Instead he showed the prince in his most unguarded FRI moments: having his beard trimmed by a barber, being FRI mimicked by a performer, huddled ill and depressed under a FRI bulky quilt, and writing a letter bare-chested in his tent. FRI "It's an almost modern, instagram-esque familiarity" says FRI Sunil Khilnani. FRI FRI The artist Howard Hodgkin, an appreciator and collector of FRI Nainsukh's work, describes Nainsukh as "the first great FRI modern artist of India". In his favourite painting, Balwant FRI Singh and his pet goose stare at each other, both bird and FRI prince transfixed. FRI FRI Prof. Khilnani tells the story of two men: one a painter FRI with a unique talent to express humanity and individuality, FRI warmth and humour; the other a prince who unreservedly, FRI unselfconsciously gave himself to the artist as subject.

FRI FRI 14:00 The Archers b05wyq6n (Listen) FRI [Repeat of broadcast at 19:00 on Thursday] FRI FRI 14:15 Drama b05wz0kw (Listen) FRI The Man Who Wore Sanitary Pads FRI FRI Mr Muruga is a builder from Tamil Nadu who wants to send a FRI rather curious love letter to his wife: a low cost sanitary FRI pad. But when his desire to help his countrywomen turns to FRI obsession, his community and even his family turn their FRI backs on him. Can he achieve his taboo-breaking mission? A FRI compelling, real-life story of a great man, told with humour FRI and admiration by Jon Sen. FRI FRI Other voices.....the BBC Tamil Service FRI Cultural and language consultants.....Sangeetha Rajan, FRI Sivaramakrishnan Parameswaran, Jagadheesan Leklapoodi FRI FRI Directed by Sarah Bradshaw FRI FRI Notes FRI FRI Jon Sen began his professional career as a documentary FRI editor, making his break into drama as writer/director of FRI the award-winning comedy short The Love Doctor (BBC FRI Films/BBC2). He has subsequently worked for all the major FRI terrestrial channels, directing high-profile shows such as FRI the British Asian drama Second Generation (Channel 4), FRI Frances Tuesday (ITV), Stan (BBC2/BBC4). He has also FRI directed serial drama including 55 degrees North and FRI Waterloo Road (BBC1). FRI FRI His first play for Radio 4 was 4.4.68 about the FRI assassination of Martin Luther King - a part of the Sony FRI award winning 1968 season. He has also written The Prospect, FRI The Phone, an adaptation of Hardy's Two on a Tower and FRI Vanunu - A Time To Be Heard. His TV writing credits include FRI Touching Infinity a biopic about of the mathematical genius FRI Ramanujan and series drama including Casualty, Holby and FRI Waterloo Road (BBC1). FRI FRI Sarah Bradshaw (Director) on the real life, ‘rags to pads’ FRI rom-com FRI FRI When I first heard the extraordinary story of ‘Sanitary Pad FRI Man’ Arunachalam Muraganatham, my gob could not have been FRI more smacked. Was this true story simply too ‘out there’ FRI for a sensitive Radio 4 audience, perhaps eating a late FRI lunch? But of all the subjects for drama, it demanded radio FRI as its medium: our audience can ‘see’ as much or as little FRI as they wish. FRI FRI In 1997, Mr Muruga learned that the rural women of India FRI were falling sick and sometimes dying because they couldn’t FRI afford sanitary pads. He discovered that they were using FRI not only rags, but also leaves, earth and gravel. So, as a FRI romantic gesture to his beloved wife Shanti, he broke every FRI taboo possible: he not only invented a low cost sanitary FRI pad, but the sensational, portable, low cost machines to FRI print them. FRI FRI When the local women were too shocked to test his prototype FRI pad, he created his own strap-on uterus* and* *did it FRI himself.* FRI FRI However, you can’t go around wearing a football bladder full FRI of goat’s blood without attracting some attention. Muruga’s FRI mother, his wife, friends and community thought he was FRI possessed by evil spirits or a vampire. He had put his life FRI at risk. FRI FRI In Jon Sen’s touching dramatisation we find not only a man FRI of great vision changing the world, but the humour with FRI which he did it. FRI FRI But Muruga’s story doesn’t stay in India. His achievements FRI have inspired Cornish resident Amy Peake to create the NGO, FRI *Loving Humanity UK*. She is soon to take Muruga’s machines FRI to the Syrian refugee camps in Jordan, in partnership with FRI the UN. There, they will not only be making sanitary pads FRI for Syrian mothers, but incontinence pads for their FRI traumatised children. FRI FRI What started as the most unlikely love letter, is now FRI global, women’s rights story.

FRI FRI In the first story, Namaste, Deepti Kapoor considers the FRI Western tourists who have long headed to Goa for a dose of FRI healing spirituality - and an Indian woman tries to find a FRI solution to her own troubles by offering the visitors what FRI they seek.
