SAT SAT The restless poet swaps the moorland uplands of the north SAT for the coastal fringes of Britain's south west, once again SAT giving readings every night, but this time through Somerset, SAT Devon and Cornwall, taking poetry into distant communities SAT and tourist hot-spots, busking his way from start to finish. SAT SAT From the surreal pleasuredome of Minehead Butlins to a SAT smoke-filled roundhouse on the Penwith Peninsula, then out SAT to the Isles of Scilly and beyond, Armitage tackles this SAT personal Odyssey with all the poetic reflection and personal SAT wit we've come to expect from one of Britain's best loved SAT and most popular writers.

SAT SAT 14:30 Drama b05z6dz1 (Listen) SAT Born in the DDR SAT SAT The Berlin Wall fell in November '89. But the bricks started SAT crumbling long before that - and were given a mighty kick by SAT a Rock'n'Roll band from New Jersey. This is the madcap and SAT improbable true story of how the Stasi licensed a Bruce SAT Springsteen gig in East Berlin, and started something they SAT couldn't stop. SAT SAT In 1987, both Pink Floyd and David Bowie play at the SAT Reichstag, deliberately pointing the speakers towards the SAT East. The result is rioting on the Eastern side - Glasnost SAT has arrived and East German youth wants some. 'Pony' SAT Ponesky, an East German band manager (no easy job) knows SAT something has to be done - the hard line won't work any SAT more, they have to provide their own rock concerts. He is SAT granted a rare luxury: a phone call to the West. And when he SAT speaks to the promoter of Bruce Springsteen's Tunnel of Love SAT Tour, the answer - freakishly, unbelievably, miraculously - SAT is Yes! Who'd've guessed Bruce has always wanted to play SAT East Berlin? Now all he has to do is sell the idea to the SAT Stasi... SAT SAT Jonathan Myerson's entertaining drama follows the SAT rollercoaster tale of how 200,000 East Germans got to sing SAT 'Born In The USA', in front of the Party hierarchy - and how SAT one crazy night in Berlin fired the hearts of a generation.

It's a melody of mystery, of voices of SAT old, of ancient days. It's travelled through land and time, SAT drawing singers and listeners in where ever they maybe. SAT SAT For Will Parsons and Guy Hayward it's a song that has SAT inspired a pilgrimage through a landscape that is embodied SAT in the lyrics. Setting off from Whitby Abbey, they journey SAT to Scarborough on foot, sensing the song as they go, SAT learning to sing it, interpreting it in a new way just as SAT thousands of traditional singers have done throughout time. SAT SAT This too is the landscape of Martin Carthy, the 'father of SAT folk' who has made his home along the Yorkshire coast. It SAT was from this legendary singer that Paul Simon first learnt SAT Scarborough Fair, creating a version that came to represent SAT a generation continuing its journey far and wide, weaving SAT its spell in many different guises, never truly being pinned SAT down. SAT SAT Decades on Harpist Claire Jones recorded a version of her SAT own. Arranged by her husband, the composer Chris Marshall, SAT hers is a very personal journey through unexpected illness SAT to recovery. Whilst for Mike Masheder it is a song that SAT brings memories of his wife Sally, who approached the SAT journey of life with love and equanimity. SAT SAT "It can change or stay the same. And the more it changes, SAT the more it stays the same" - Martin Carthy SAT SAT Produced by Nicola Humphries SAT With expert contribution from Sandra Kerr, musician and SAT lecturer at Newcastle University School of Arts and Culture.

Does it work, what are the risks and what are the SAT reasons for a lack of libido in women and can this pill SAT help? SAT SAT Plans are being made for a mosque to be run by women. The SAT Muslim Women's Council in Bradford have come up with the SAT proposal because they believe Muslim women have been SAT marginalised by UK mosques which are male dominated and SAT don't serve women's needs. SAT SAT In 1906 suffragette and journalist Slyvia Pankhurst made a SAT pilgrimage through the north of England and Scotland to find SAT out about the lives of working women. In a series of SAT features we assess the lives of women in those areas today. SAT SAT Summer is here and with it the wedding season.

With the Hat SAT SAT Ian McKellan takes on the legendary role of Detective SAT Sherlock Holmes in Mr Holmes, alongside a stellar cast SAT including Laura Linney, Frances de La Tour and Roger Allam. SAT A cantakerous 93 year old who has retired to the Sussex SAT countryside with only his housekeeper and her ten year old SAT son for company, Holmes becomes obsessed with his last SAT unsolved case. How will McKellan's elderly Holmes appeal to SAT cinema audiences so familiar with one of British SAT literature's most iconic characters? SAT SAT The Mother...With The Hat by Stephen Adly Guirgis opens at SAT London's National Theatre and tells the story of Jackie, out SAT of jail and staying clean thanks to his sponsor. He might SAT even have found a job. And of course there's Veronica, who SAT he's loved since 8th grade. Nothing could come between them SAT - except a hat. The Mother...With The Hat received six Tony SAT nominations on Broadway - how will it appeal to British SAT audiences? SAT SAT The Household Spirit is the follow up novel from American SAT writer Todd Wodicka. Like his debut "All Shall be Well; And SAT All Shall Be Well:And All Manner Things Shall Be Well," this SAT book uses dark humour to provide insight into the human SAT condition. SAT SAT Another dark comedy in a new HBO tv series "The Brink," that SAT focuses on a geopolitical crisis and its effect on three SAT disparate and desperate men: Walter Larson (Tim Robbins), SAT the U.S. Secretary of State; Alex Talbott (Jack Black), a SAT Foreign Service officer stationed in Islamabad; and Zeke SAT "Z-Pak" Tilson (Pablo Schreiber), a Navy fighter pilot with SAT a side business dealing prescription drugs.

They are SAT the darlings, the stories, the ornaments, the gems we are SAT told to cut. SAT SAT Producers, script writers, authors, editors have all had the SAT rule thrown at them. These scenes may be fantastically SAT written, funny, evocative - but they don't belong. They SAT obscure the plot, blind us from the truth. SAT SAT It's a rule of writing passed around like an illegal SAT cigarette. You must murder your darlings. Kill Your SAT Darlings. With contributions from Larry King, PJ O'Rourke, SAT Kurt Cobain, journalists Jon Savage and Cal Fussman - what SAT if you could bring those darlings back to life? SAT SAT The saying Murder your Darlings has been attributed to SAT Fitzgerald, Nabokov, Stephen King and Hemingway. But the SAT real author comes from Cornwall. Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch. SAT Better known under the pseudonym Q, he is the forgotten SAT figure of 20th century literature. SAT SAT In 1914 he delivered a series of twelve lectures on writing SAT at Cambridge University, and one in particular on style: SAT SAT 'Whenever you feel an impulse to perpetrate a piece of SAT exceptionally fine writing, obey it - wholeheartedly - and SAT delete it before sending your manuscript to press. Murder SAT your darlings.' SAT SAT But who was Q? SAT SAT How do you tell a story? What is it that takes prominence - SAT the character or the plot? Producers ask themselves whether SAT to retain the idiosyncrasies of how people talk - the pauses SAT and silences - or whether to cut them out because they need SAT to lose three minutes? It's often the smallest details that SAT help us see these characters. SAT SAT Producer: Barney Rowntree SAT A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 4. SAT SAT 21:00 The Barchester Chronicles b05xwdmb (Listen) SAT Anthony Trollope's The Last Chronicle of Barset, Dogged SAT SAT by Anthony Trollope SAT dramatised by Nick Warburton SAT SAT Part 3: Dogged SAT SAT Johnny traverses Europe trying to save Mr Crawley, who has a SAT revelation in the rain. Meanwhile, Archdeacon Grantly is SAT having trouble with his temper. SAT SAT Music composed by David Tobin, Jeff Meegan and Julian SAT Gallant SAT Directed and Produced by Marion Nancarrow SAT SAT This is the final book in Anthony Trollope's Barchester SAT Chronicles and many of the characters from both "The Small SAT House at Allington" and "Framley Parsonage" return to finish SAT his story of Barsetshire life set between 1855 and 1867. SAT These 4 episodes focus in part on the story of the proud but SAT impoverished vicar of Hogglestock, Josiah Crawley and the SAT accusation that he has stolen and cashed a cheque. The whole SAT of Barset has an opinion about Crawley's guilt or innocence, SAT but no-one is more affected by it than Archdeacon Grantly's SAT son, Henry, who has fallen in love with Crawley's daughter, SAT Grace. Meanwhile, Johnny Eames has returned to try for the SAT hand of Lily Dale, who is still devastated by the betrayal SAT of her amoral fiance, Adolphus Crosbie. Happily, Mrs Baxter SAT returns to tell the tale and give her inimitable opinion on SAT events. SAT SAT Maggie Steed plays Mrs Baxter and is joined by Adam Kotz, SAT Tim Pigott-Smith, Samuel Barnett and Scarlett Alice Johnson. SAT SAT The Barchester Chronicles is Anthony Trollope's much-loved SAT series of witty, gently satirical stories of provincial life SAT set within the fictional cathedral town of Barchester and SAT the surrounding county of Barsetshire. With a focus on the SAT lives, loves and tribulations of the local clergy and rural SAT gentry, the canvas is broad and colourful, with a wonderful SAT set of iconic characters whose lives we become intimately SAT involved in as they grow up, grow old and fall in or out of SAT love and friendship across the years.

SAT SAT 22:15 Moral Maze b05y0ql1 (Listen) SAT Victim Culture SAT SAT The philosopher Bertrand Russell identified the seductive SAT lure of victimhood nearly 80 years ago in his essay "The SAT Superior Virtue of the Oppressed". Rachel Dolezal is the SAT latest example of today's powerful incentive for individuals SAT to present themselves as victims. She posed as an SAT African-American and victim of racism; even became the SAT president of the Washington branch of The National SAT Association for the Advancement of Coloured People. Rather SAT inconveniently it turned out she's 100% white. Perhaps we SAT shouldn't be too hard on her. You could argue that she's a SAT genuine victim of not just modern culture, but government SAT policy on both sides of the Atlantic. A study by a British SAT criminologist claims recognised victim groups that receive SAT legal protection now make up 73% of the population. Groups SAT that have been politically and legally recognised as victims SAT are often keen to use their power, especially via social SAT media, to silence those who offend or upset them as Nobel SAT Prize winning scientist Sir Tim Hunt discovered to his cost. SAT Irony is no defence against a Twitter storm over sexism. SAT He's just the latest victim to stumble unwittingly in to a SAT minefield of emotional, racial, sexual, and psychological SAT grievance. Recognising and protecting victims is clearly a SAT moral good. Would anyone really argue that our society was a SAT better place when casual racism and sexism were the norm? SAT But is the growing list of victims and offence and harms SAT doing lasting harm to our liberal culture? Not making us SAT more civilised, but fuelling division and resentment, making SAT it harder to identify and help true victims? Or are these SAT the same kind of arguments that we've heard throughout SAT history as the powerful try to crush the weak? Trigger SAT alert! The morality of victimhood, the Moral Maze.

Julie is quoted as SUN saying: 'A wonderful treatment has been written and my SUN brilliant team and I are moving forward with great SUN excitement and (Julie's favourite word) passion.' SUN SUN As far as her erstwhile friend, the actual author of the SUN book, is concerned 'The train had left the station and SUN nobody had bothered to mention it to me!' The gradual SUN realisation that they really aren't 'sisters under the SUN skin', is movingly told.

SUN SUN "Inebriate of air am I, SUN And debauchee of dew, SUN Reeling, through endless summer days, SUN From inns of molten blue." SUN SUN The longest day of the year has been marked, especially in SUN Northern climes, with bonfires, games and songs. Many of SUN these rituals have faded over time but the sense of SUN exhilaration of light and air and richness of the natural SUN world still resonates. In literature this time of year is SUN often an associated with magic and love: think of SUN Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. There's a sense of SUN possibility and optimism that might extend us beyond the SUN mundane and, in the poem from which the title of this SUN programme is taken, Emily Dickinson describes it as a kind SUN of spiritual intoxication.

This one is shown next to the tip of a pin for SUN scale. SUN SUN Parasitoid Wasp SUN Parasitoid wasps are staggeringly diverse and often very SUN beautiful, but they're typically very small and completely SUN overlooked by most people. The entomologist AA Girault SUN captured the beauty and mystery of these insects with the SUN following: "Some gem-like or marvellous inhabitants of the SUN woodlands heretofore unknown and by most never seen nor SUN dreamt of." SUN SUN Featherwing Beetle SUN Featherwing beetles are among the smallest beetles. The SUN individual in this photograph is a mere 0.5mm long. On their SUN large, feather-like wings they can take to the air with SUN ease.

But their Chief Executive, SUN Christine Knipe is an Elton John fan and after years of SUN discussions with his promoters, she's finally persuaded them SUN to get Elton to come and play their show field in south SUN Cumbria. So that's Sir Elton John, one of the world's SUN best-selling musicians playing the Westmorland Agricultural SUN Showground, a breezy field which is usually grazed buy a SUN flock of herdwick sheep. SUN SUN The catering's being done by local farmers, some of whom SUN have had their food hygiene and marketing training delivered SUN by the Society. And the funds raised should help secure the SUN future of the Westmorland Show, founded in 1799, and help SUN safeguard the crucial role the society plays in equipping SUN farmers for the 21st century.

SUN Organising in the region of 4,500 performances annually SUN throughout the UK, each session is presented by a small SUN group of professional musicians. Our beneficiaries include SUN people with physical and learning disabilities, hospital and SUN hospice patients, special school pupils, mental health SUN service users and care home residents. SUN SUN A shared experience SUN SUN Our performances offer a shared experience where people SUN receiving care can socialise and interact amongst SUN themselves, with staff, volunteers, relatives and the SUN musicians, breaking down social and cultural barriers and SUN the routine of long-term care. The music provides a talking SUN point and a way of everyone connecting in what can often be SUN an isolated environment. SUN SUN The benefits of live music SUN Research shows that live music in healthcare settings can SUN have a number of beneficial effects including reducing SUN stress, anxiety and depression, lowered blood pressure, SUN improved respiration and reduced heart rate. It can also SUN reduce perception of pain, leading to a reduction of SUN medication required. SUN SUN Tailor-made performances SUN SUN The people who benefit from our work vary greatly, but they SUN have all been isolated by an illness or disability. Each SUN performance is specially tailored to meet the needs of the SUN audience, no matter what their age, disability or cultural SUN background.

This great national boarding school was founded as a SUN charitable educational institution 'for the orphans of army SUN officers' by Queen Victoria and Prince Albert in memory of SUN the great Duke. This morning pupils and staff gather to SUN celebrate the spirit of Waterloo and the heritage it has SUN given them. Director of Music, Sean Farrell. Producer, SUN Philip Billson.

SUN SUN Opening Announcement from BBC Radio 4 SUN BBC Radio 4, Time now for Sunday Worship which comes live SUN from Wellington College in Berkshire and celebrates the SUN 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo last Thursday. SUN The preacher is the College’s Senior Chaplain Father Tim SUN Novis. The service is led by students of the college, and SUN is introduced by Phoebe Parvin. SUN PHOEBE PARVIN SUN Good morning. ‘Fortune Favours the Brave’. That’s our school SUN motto here at Wellington College, and also the family motto SUN of the Field Marshall Queen Victoria referred to as, 'the SUN greatest man this country has ever produced.' Arthur SUN Wellesley, the Duke of Wellington. This College upholds the SUN values of the Iron Duke, and chief among those is courage, SUN as reflected in that school motto. Wellington College was SUN founded as a living memorial to the victor at Waterloo, SUN SUN Alexander Bridges: SUN One outstanding example of bravery from the Battle of SUN Waterloo came from Lord Uxbridge, who later became 1st SUN Marquess of Anglesey. One of the last cannon shots fired on SUN 18 June 1815 hit his right leg, leading to its amputation SUN above the knee. As the story goes, he was close to the Duke SUN of Wellington when he was hit, and is reputed to have said, SUN "By God, sir, I've lost my leg!", to which Wellington SUN replied "By God, sir, so you have!" SUN SUN PHOEBE PARVIN SUN [Almost 37,000 soldiers fought in the British Army during SUN the Waterloo Campaign, and for the first time every soldier, SUN regardless of rank or role, was awarded a campaign medal. SUN This service asks, how is it that we are to do our duty in SUN this 21st century? And of course, it's never about simply SUN earning a campaign medal, it's about making the world a SUN better place for our having been in it, and to the honour SUN and glory of God who loves Creation. So] today our special SUN commemorative service here is Wellington College Chapel will SUN reflect upon these qualities of bravery and courage in their SUN many facets, spiritually, and in civic society, as well as SUN celebrating the bravery of those who continue to defend our SUN values of freedom and democracy. As reflected in our opening SUN hymn, we do not labour alone, but it is God who accompanies SUN and galvanises us on the way. SUN SUN Hymn: God is our strength and refuge SUN SUN READER: SUN EdmundWheatley, a British officer in The King’s German SUN Legion, is at La Haye Sainte. I felt the ardour of the fight SUN increase very much within me, from the uncommon fury of the SUN engagement . . . I fired a slain soldier’s musket until my SUN shoulder was nearly jellied and my mouth was begrimed with SUN gunpowder to such a degree that I champed the gritty SUN composition unknowingly. Nothing could equal the splendour SUN and terror of the scene. . . .The clashing of swords, the SUN clattering of musketry, the hissing of balls, and shouts and SUN clamours produced a sound, jarring and confounding the SUN senses, as if hell and the Devil were in evil contention. SUN Charge met charge and all was pell-mell. The rays of the sun SUN glittered on . . . the two opposing bodies closed in fearful SUN combat SUN SUN Amy Martin: SUN Recently, Jane Wellesley, a direct descendent of the Duke of SUN Wellington, gave a vivid description of her ancestor at the SUN battle: 'On the day, his presence on the battleground was SUN electrifying, as he galloped from one scene of action to SUN another, giving orders, rallying and reassuring his men. In SUN life, as on the battlefield, he rarely let go of the reins.’ SUN SUN PHOEBE PARVIN SUN The collect of the Foundation of Wellington College is led SUN by Sir Anthony Seldon the Master of Wellington College: SUN SUN Anthony Seldon/Flora Macangus : Collect of the Foundation SUN Let us pray: SUN We give Thee humble and hearty thanks, O most merciful SUN Father, for the memory and good example of ARTHUR, DUKE OF SUN WELLINGTON, and for all our Governors and Benefactors, by SUN whose benefit this whole College is brought up to godliness SUN and good learning; and we beseech Thee to give us grace to SUN use Thy blessings to the glory of Thy holy Name, that we may SUN answer the good intent of our religious Founders, and become SUN profitable members of the Church and Commonwealth, and at SUN last be partakers of the immortal glory of the Resurrection; SUN through our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. SUN ALL: Amen SUN SUN PHOEBE PARVIN SUN Our second hymn – O praise ye the Lord, sets verses from SUN Psalms 148 and 150, but first as our Saviour Christ taught SUN us we are bold to say: SUN SUN ALL: OUR Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. SUN Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, On earth as it is in SUN heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our SUN trespasses, As we forgive those who trespass against us. And SUN lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For SUN thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever SUN and ever. Amen. SUN SUN Hymn – O praise ye the Lord: (Laudate Dominum) SUN SUN Voice 1: Alexis Sakellaris SUN A reading from Ecclesiasticus Chapter 44: SUN SUN 1 Let us now praise famous men, and our fathers that begat SUN us. SUN 2 The Lord hath wrought great glory by them through his SUN great power from the beginning. SUN SUN Voice 2: Amy Martin SUN 3 Such as did bear rule in their kingdoms, men renowned for SUN their power, SUN SUN Voice 1: Alexis Sakellaris SUN giving counsel by their understanding, SUN SUN Voice 2: Amy Martin SUN and declaring prophecies: SUN SUN Voice 1: Alexis Sakellaris SUN 6 Rich men furnished with ability, living peaceably in their SUN habitations: SUN SUN Voice 2: Amy Martin SUN 7 All these were honoured in their generations, and were the SUN glory of their times. SUN SUN Voice 1: Alexis Sakellaris SUN 8 There be of them, that have left a name behind them, that SUN their praises might be reported. SUN SUN Voice 2: Amy Martin SUN 9 And some there be, which have no memorial; who are SUN perished, as though they had never been; and are become as SUN though they had never been born; and their children after SUN them.] SUN SUN Voice 1: Alexis Sakellaris SUN 10 But these were merciful men, whose righteousness hath not SUN been forgotten. SUN SUN Voice 2: Amy Martin SUN 11 With their seed shall continually remain a good SUN inheritance, and their children are within the covenant.] SUN SUN Voice 1: Alexis Sakellaris SUN 14 Their bodies are buried in peace; but their name liveth SUN for evermore. SUN SUN Voice 2: Amy Martin SUN 15 The people will tell of their wisdom, and the SUN congregation will shew forth their praise. SUN SUN Voice 1 and Voice 2: SUN Thanks be to God. SUN SUN PHOEBE PARVIN SUN The choir sings an extract from Handel’s oratorio: Israel in SUN Egypt. As was the custom, at Arthur Wellesley’s funeral in SUN St Paul’s Cathedral the words from Ecclesiasticus were SUN adapted to honour the great Duke: His body is buried in SUN peace. SUN SUN SUN Choir: His body is buried in peace (Handel) (first half) SUN SUN Katherine Grigg: SUN A reading from the Gospel according to Mark Chapter 4 SUN beginning at verse 26 (30): SUN Jesus said, [‘The kingdom of God is as if someone would SUN scatter seed on the ground, and would sleep and rise night SUN and day, and the seed would sprout and grow, he does not SUN know how. The earth produces of itself, first the stalk, SUN then the head, then the full grain in the head. But when the SUN grain is ripe, at once he goes in with his sickle, because SUN the harvest has come.’ SUN He also said,] ‘With what can we compare the kingdom of SUN God, or what parable will we use for it? It is like a SUN mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the SUN smallest of all the seeds on earth; yet when it is sown it SUN grows up and becomes the greatest of all shrubs, and puts SUN forth large branches, so that the birds of the air can make SUN nests in its shade.’ SUN SUN 33Thanks be to God. SUN Choir and congregation: Jubilate (Stanford in B flat) SUN SUN Sermon: Part A : SUN Father Novis SUN From the cowardice that fears truth, from the laziness SUN content with half-truth, and from the arrogance that SUN believes it knows all truth, O God of truth, deliver us. SUN Amen. SUN SUN As you do during the half-term breaks, you take the family SUN to the cinema and subject yourself to your teenage sons’ SUN choice of a film. Little did I know that in seeing the SUN recently released Disney show ‘Tomorrow Land’ all of my SUN earlier preparations for this sermon to you today would SUN chime so well with the movie’s moral message. Starring SUN George Cluney and Hugh Laurie, it really is worth a watch if SUN you are at all concerned about the future of this planet, if SUN you feel some degree of sadness over the kind of world to be SUN inherited by our grandchildren, and if, theologically, you SUN see all of this as a kind of anthropic letting down of our SUN end of the bargain with a God of abundance and boundless SUN generosity who creates us in his image – concerns deeply SUN expressed no doubt in Pope Francis’s Encyclical on the SUN Environment published just this week. SUN SUN Not to spoil the film for you, it is worth every ounce of SUN our effort now to change what could be a dire environmental SUN future, according to the film. [Whatever we think about that SUN proposition, in every area of life, we resign ourselves to SUN the worst possible outcome if we simply take the easy way SUN out and embrace apathy, giving up all hope and saying to SUN each other that any attempts at change are futile.] SUN But if we look to the lessons found in our two scripture SUN passages this morning, we can remind ourselves that indeed, SUN just as is said in the school motto of Wellington College: SUN ‘Virtutis Fortuna Comes’ – Fortune favours the Brave. It’s SUN not by embracing apathy that we can do great things, but by SUN being brave enough to shout down the voices telling us that SUN all is futile – so don’t even bother. SUN Katie Dennison: SUN A story is told of a business conference where the keynote SUN speaker rose and began his talk in the Convention Centre. SUN ‘The problem with our world today’, he began, ‘is apathy’. SUN A voice from the back was heard to utter, impetuously, ‘Who SUN cares?’ SUN Father Novis: SUN But we have to care. As students, parents, grand-parents, SUN as fellow travellers spinning through space and time on this SUN fragile planet earth, our island-home, we have to care, or SUN we throw back into the face of an astronomically generous SUN Creator-God, this creative gift we share with Him called our SUN now and our future. As Pope Francis tweeted recently ‘There SUN is no room for the globalization of indifference.’ SUN SUN Next year, 2016 is the 100th Anniversary of the Battle of SUN the Somme – that mindless and possibly pointless SUN conflagration in which such a stunningly large number of SUN young men of all backgrounds, including Old Wellingtonians SUN lost their lives. In their memory the Lutyen’s Memorial SUN stands in this Chapel, with the inscription at the base seen SUN on every such monument, as prescribed by the Commonwealth SUN War Graves Commission. They are Rudyard Kipling’s choice of SUN words – his son Jack was a pupil here - taken from our SUN reading from Ecclesiasticus today, ‘Their name liveth SUN forevermore.’ SUN SUN So, indeed, as we also heard read from the Book of SUN Ecclesiasticus, ‘Let us now praise famous men, and our SUN fathers that begat us.’ Our ancestors who gave their today SUN for our tomorrow took to heart both our own and another SUN version, really, of the Wellington College motto: (‘Fortune SUN favours the brave'). That's the motto of the British Special SUN Air Service (the SAS) ‘Who dares wins’. Current Old SUN Wellingtonian connections are official secrets but it is SUN known that Richard Williams (a boarder here from 1980-84) SUN was later a Commanding Officer and awarded the Military SUN Cross whilst leading his Squadron on offensive operations in SUN Afghanistan in 2001. SUN SUN Fortune favours the brave. Who dares wins. SUN Jesus' parable of the Mustard Seed teaches us that whatever SUN brave deed to which we commit ourselves in faith, it is the SUN Holy Spirit who will enliven our endeavours and ensure a SUN successful outcome. This glorious worship space was SUN consecrated as 'the Chapel of the Holy Spirit,' and our SUN anthem this morning has been specially commissioned in SUN celebration of its 150th anniversary – ‘Come, O creator SUN Spirit, by Alan Bullard. SUN Music: Come, O creator Spirit (Alan Bullard) SUN SUN Sermon: Part B SUN READER: SUN Bivouacked in front of Waterloo, Private Charles O’Neil of SUN the 28th (North Gloucester) Regiment is in a reflective SUN mood: “I was just endeavouring to compose myself to sleep, SUN when my comrade spoke to me,saying that it was deeply SUN impressed on his mind that he should not survive the morrow; SUN and that he wished to make an arrangement with me, that if SUN he should die and I should survive, I should inform his SUN friends of the circumstances of his death, and that he would SUN do the same for me . . . We then exchanged the last letters SUN we had received from home, so that each should have the SUN address of the other’s parents. I endeavoured to conceal my SUN own feelings, and cheer his, by reminding him that it was SUN far better to die on the field of glory than from fear . . . SUN Perhaps I may as well mention here, that we had not been in SUN the action twenty-five minutes when he was shot down by my SUN side.” SUN SUN Father Novis: SUN The concealment of feelings – the absolute terror on the eve SUN of any battle. How do we ourselves respond to this call to SUN courage – to the challenge of the Wellington motto? Perhaps SUN we feel we would be unable to show courage? Perhaps we feel SUN we would be utter cowards in the face of odds stacked SUN against us? Our new testament reading reminds us that “the SUN Kingdom of God is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon SUN the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth; yet SUN when it is sown it grows up and becomes the greatest of all SUN shrubs, and puts forth large branches, so that the birds of SUN the air can make nests in its shade”. So it is too with SUN courage. We can only start with the little we have, and SUN follow our consciences, serving others as best we can. SUN SUN Sometimes the showing of real courage almost just happens, SUN seemingly despite ourselves. What of a young 17 year old SUN Afghan girl, the same age as many of you studying here at SUN this college, who in 2012 in the face of Taliban who SUN attempted to kill her, spoke out for girls’ education. SUN Probably she couldn’t help herself! But she showed great SUN courage in the consequences. Malala Yousafzai, is the SUN youngest ever winner of the Nobel Peace Prize. Indeed, as SUN celebratory posters in her honour say: ‘One child, one SUN teacher, one book, one pen, can change the world.’ SUN SUN We could also take inspiration from an old Wellingtonian SUN Mukesh Kapila CBE. [Professor of Global Health and SUN Humanitarian Affairs at the University of Manchester, SUN Special Representative of the Aegis Trust for the prevention SUN of crimes against humanity, and Chair of Minority Rights SUN Group International, Professor Kapila has initiated several SUN NGOs of international significance]. In 2013, he received SUN the “I Witness” award for his work on human rights. SUN SUN As head of the United Nations in Sudan he was witness to SUN the humanitarian crisis in Darfur and witnessed the shocking SUN depths of evil plumbed by those who designed and SUN orchestrated ‘the final solution’ there. Here’s a snatch of SUN his personal story, an account he gave to the Holocaust SUN Memorial Day Trust: SUN SUN Recording to be played into chapel SUN IN: We knew from day one (0’13” in) SUN OUT: those who stick the knife in or pull the trigger. SUN DUR: 1’14” SUN SUN Father Novis: SUN Yet no one in the diplomatic world seemed to want to know, SUN and it was only through engaging with the international SUN media that these mass killings were brought to the attention SUN of the world. Kapila’s story reminds us of the courage of SUN someone who risks all for a truly righteous end. SUN SUN As Theodore Roosevelt said: Some men are born great, others SUN have greatness thrust upon them. The same is true of SUN Courage. SUN And so as we mark this important anniversary of the Battle SUN of Waterloo both for our nation and for this great public SUN school of Wellington College today, let there be an SUN underlying and undoubtable sounding bass note of hope that SUN we need not be condemned to a grim future, that all our SUN brave little acts of greatness, alone or combined, are not SUN futile, and instead may we remember today the Ancient Greek SUN proverb: ‘a society grows when old men plant trees in whose SUN shade they know they will never sit.’ SUN SUN We end with some wise words of Alfred Lord Tennyson from his SUN Ode On The Death Of The great Duke . SUN SUN Alexis Sakellaris: SUN Yea, let all good things await SUN Him who cares not to be great, SUN But as he saves or serves the state. SUN Not once or twice in our rough island-story, SUN The path of duty was the way to glory: SUN He that walks it, only thirsting SUN For the right, and learns to deaden SUN Love of self, before his journey closes, SUN He shall find the stubborn thistle bursting SUN Into glossy purples, which outredden SUN All voluptuous garden-roses. SUN Not once or twice in our fair island-story, SUN The path of duty was the way to glory: SUN HANDEL: But his name liveth evermore (0’45”) SUN SUN Alexander Bridges: SUN Let us pray for peace in the world: SUN For statesmen and rulers, SUN That they may have wisdom to know and courage to do what is SUN right. SUN For all who work to improve international relationships, SUN That they may find the true way to reconcile people of SUN different race and creed… SUN And for men and women the world over, SUN That they may have justice and freedom, and live in security SUN and peace… SUN SUN [SHORT PAUSE] SUN SUN Lord in your mercy SUN ALL: Hear our prayer SUN SUN Most gracious God and Father, SUN In whose will is our peace: SUN Turn our hearts and the hearts of all to yourself, SUN That by the power of your Spirit SUN The peace which is founded on righteousness SUN May be established throughout the whole world; SUN Through Jesus Christ our Lord. SUN ALL: Amen. SUN Let us pray for all who suffer as a result of war: SUN For the injured and others left with health conditions or SUN impairments, SUN For the mentally distressed, SUN And for those whose faith in God and man has been weakened SUN or destroyed… SUN For the homeless and refugees, SUN For those who are hungry, SUN And for all who have lost their livelihood and security… SUN For those who mourn their dead, SUN Those who have lost partner, children or parents, SUN And especially those who lack the comfort and hope of faith SUN to sustain them in their grief.

SUN ALL: Amen SUN SUN Father Novis: SUN May your journey through the universal questions of life SUN bring you to a new moment of awareness. May it be an SUN enlightening one. May you find embedded in the past, like SUN all those students of life before you, the answers you are SUN seeking now. May they awaken that in you which is deeper SUN than fact, truer than fiction, and full of faith. And the SUN blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy SUN Spirit be with you always. SUN Amen.

SUN SUN My mum used to make this every summer – in really big SUN batches – and it would keep us going for ages. It’s really a SUN lemon cordial which you dilute, and is much nicer than SUN anything similar you could buy. It’s also unbelievably SUN economical. Citric acid is available in chemists. SUN SUN Fills 3 x 1 litre (1 ¾ pint) bottles SUN SUN 2 organic oranges SUN SUN 12 unwaxed lemons SUN SUN 1.3kg (3lb) granulated sugar SUN SUN 55g (2oz) citric acid SUN SUN 1) Finely grate the zest of the oranges and lemons and put SUN into a bowl with the sugar. Add 1.7 litres (3 pints) of SUN boiling water and leave overnight. SUN SUN 2) The next day, squeeze the juice from the citrus fruits SUN and add that with the citric acid. Mix well. Strain and pour SUN into sterilized bottles. Use it like squash, adding water SUN (still or sparkling) to taste. It will keep for two months; SUN refrigerate once opened. SUN SUN Raspberry Liqueur SUN SUN From Diana Henry’s ‘Salt Sugar Smoke’, published by Mitchell SUN Beazley. SUN SUN Raspberry Liqueur is the liqueur I use the most. It is very SUN satisfying – and easy – to make your own. I think brandy is SUN better than gin, but use what you have (or can afford). You SUN can make crème de mures (with blackberries) and crème SUN de cassis (with blackcurrants) in the same way.

SUN SUN 14:00 Gardeners' Question Time b05y178n (Listen) SUN Whitby SUN SUN Peter Gibbs and the panel are in Whitby, North Yorkshire. SUN Christine Walkden, Bob Flowerdew, and Matt Biggs answer SUN audience questions. SUN SUN Produced by Howard Shannon SUN Assistant Producer: Hannah Newton SUN A Somethin' Else Production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN Questions and Answers SUN Q - What plants would the panel recommend to stabilise cliff SUN erosion at my new house? SUN Bob – SUN Brambles will mesh together and hold things in place. Any SUN climbers would work and protect the ground from the weather. SUN Pampas grass has a very strong root system. SUN Christine – SUN Pachysandra terminalis has a good thick evergreen leaf with SUN yellow flowers. Some of the Thymus or Alexanders would work. SUN Think about suckering shrubs such as Alders, Cornus, Salix. SUN They will naturally produce thickets and bind the soil SUN together. SUN Matt – SUN Brooms are very tough such as the Cytisus lena with its SUN pretty red and yellow flowers. SUN Q - I have some very colourful Rhododendrons in my garden. SUN They are getting very leggy and have long woody branches SUN with a bud at the end. How can I prune them? SUN Christine – SUN some Rhododendrons can be pruned and some can’t. To find SUN out, push your hand along the bark about a foot (30cm) from SUN the soil. If you feel bud initials that are like small SUN grains of rice then you can prune it. If you don’t feel SUN them, you will kill the plant by pruning back. SUN Q - How many trusses of fruit would you recommend for SUN tomatoes growing in pots? SUN Matt – Go up to about six trusses. Be careful with watering. SUN Fewer trusses are easier to maintain. SUN Bob – SUN I would reduce the number of tomatoes on each truss. For the SUN larger varieties I reduce the number to one. SUN Q. My apple tree produces a lot of apples but they are very SUN small and bitter. Can I thin it to produce a better crop? SUN Bob – SUN Thinning is one of the most important jobs with fruits. SUN Naturally there is a June drop. At the beginning of July SUN give the tree a really good shake and thin further by SUN removing several apples from the clumps. Remove one of any SUN pairs that will touch when full size. SUN Q - How can I keep my perennials going year on year in SUN containers? SUN Christine – SUN Often the compost deteriorates over time. Top dress and SUN remove as much of the top layer as you can. Add liquid feed SUN and water regularly. Make sure the pot can drain properly. SUN Matt – SUN For herbaceous perennials make sure you lift and divide. You SUN can make some fantastic displays with the late summer SUN flowering plants such as Heleniums, Echiums and grasses. You SUN can add some tender plants such as Osteospermum around the SUN edges. SUN Bob – SUN Herbs do not require too much feeding. SUN Q - Which plants do you think have gone out of fashion and SUN what will be the next big thing? SUN Christine – Chrysanthemums, Gladioli, Dahlia varieties, SUN Astas and many old fashioned cut flowers have gone out of SUN fashion. There is a considerable revival of the Foxgloves SUN and the new tall varieties of Heuchera. SUN Matt – SUN Carnations and Alpines are not as popular as they were. SUN SUN 14:45 The Listening Project b05zg99w (Listen) SUN Fi Glover introduces conversations between friends brought SUN together by a passion for performance and for wild swimming, SUN and a father and daughter remembering a courageous woman, in SUN the Omnibus edition of the series that proves it's SUN surprising what you hear when you listen. SUN SUN The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a SUN snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the SUN UK volunteer to have a conversation with someone close to SUN them about a subject they've never discussed intimately SUN before. The conversations are being gathered across the UK SUN by teams of producers from local and national radio stations SUN who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're SUN not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - SUN lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key SUN moment of connection between the participants. 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 SUN Other parts played by members of the series cast SUN SUN Music composed by David Tobin, Jeff Meegan and Julian SUN Gallant. SUN SUN Directed and Produced by Marion Nancarrow SUN SUN This is the final book in Anthony Trollope's Barchester SUN Chronicles and many of the characters from both "The Small SUN House at Allington" and "Framley Parsonage" return to finish SUN his story of Barsetshire life set between 1855 and 1867. 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. Happily, Mrs Baxter SUN returns to tell the tale and give her inimitable opinion on SUN events. SUN Maggie Steed plays Mrs Baxter and is joined by Adam Kotz, SUN Tim Pigott-Smith, Samuel Barnett and Scarlett Alice Johnson. 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 Can legislation across the world be used to either encourage SUN or discourage parenthood? And what's the cost of feeling you SUN have to want the same things as everybody else? Kate and the SUN audience draw up a list of pros and cons of having children, SUN and work out whether the average cost of raising a child SUN could be better spent making our lives more fun and SUN meaningful in other ways. SUN SUN Next week Kate looks at "The Big White Wedding" - is it SUN every little girl's dream to be walked down the aisle SUN feeling like a Disney princess, looking like she's been SUN swallowed by taffeta?

The surplus generated by these SUN "invisibles" - everything from banking to public relations SUN to whizzy new phone apps - helps balance the country's SUN stubbornly high deficit in "visibles" or things. SUN SUN Yet politicians talk continually about the need to rebalance SUN the economy away from services. Linda Yueh finds this SUN puzzling. As with other advanced economies, services SUN comprise a very large proportion of our output - around SUN three-quarters of the economy - and yet we spend a great SUN deal of time worrying about a far smaller and long declining SUN part of it: manufacturing. SUN SUN It is understandable to want to reduce our deficit in goods, SUN says Linda. But while we try to do that, she argues, we SUN should also try to understand more about the reasons for our SUN success in services - and how to maintain and augment it. In SUN this edition of "Analysis", she finds out why it is SUN difficult to make invisibles visible and why it is important SUN for our future growth and wealth that we do. SUN SUN Along the way, she discovers how innovation in services is SUN distinctive, why services firms invest heavily in their SUN staff and why the popular enthusiasm for bashing bankers is SUN misguided. We have to start loving the people we hate, Linda SUN argues. And by making the invisible sector more visible, she SUN says, we can make that process easier and more credible.

MON MON So On and So Forth is a sketch group with a very clear, MON slightly nihilistic perspective on the world - everything is MON funny if you look at it the wrong way. MON MON In 2011 they headed to the Edinburgh Fringe where they MON performed several shows a day, picked up rave reviews and MON developed webbed feet. With a growing reputation in the live MON arena they started filming sketches whenever possible hoping MON to revel in the untold riches of YouTube. Later that year MON they won the Cofilmic award for Best Sketch, and one of MON their online sketches featured on Comedy Central's hit US MON show Tosh.0 as Video of the Week which helped to ratchet up MON just shy of a quarter of a million hits on their YouTube MON page. MON MON Later in 2012 they were commissioned by BBC Worldwide to MON produce yet more sparkly new web sketches.

The Imperial War MON Museums' holdings include a major oral history resource of MON remarkable recordings made in the 1980s and early 1990s with MON the remaining survivors of the conflict. The interviews were MON done not for immediate use or broadcast, but because it was MON felt that this diminishing resource that could never be MON replenished, would be of unique value in the future. Among MON the BBC's extensive collection of archive featuring first MON hand recollections of the conflict a century ago, are the MON interviews recorded for the 1964 TV series 'The Great War', MON which vividly bring to life the human experience of those MON fighting and living through the war. Speakers recall in MON great detail as though it were yesterday the conditions of MON the trenches, the brutality of the battlefield, the MON experience of seeing their first casualty and hearing their MON first shell, their daily and nightly routines, and their MON psychological state in the face of so much trauma. In a MON unique partnership between the Imperial War Museums and the MON BBC, the two sound archive collections featuring survivors MON of the war are brought together for the first time in this MON Radio 4 series. 'Voices of the First World War', a MON fifty-part series which began in Autumn 2014, broadcasts MON many of these recordings for the first time, and will run in MON short seasons throughout the commemorative period. MON MON Presented by Dan Snow, the first five programmes to be MON broadcast this year look at the events of 1915, including MON veterans' memories of the Battle of Neuve Chapelle, the MON first use of Chlorine Gas at Ypres, the experiences of a new MON draft of Territorials at the 2nd Battle of Ypres, and the MON expansion of the war to the Eastern Front: those who were MON involved in the Gallipoli campaign recall the landings from MON April 1915 onwards and then the terrible conditions for MON soldiers on the peninsular until their evacuation in January MON 1916. MON MON The first programme looks at the differing experiences of MON soldiers on the Western Front in 1915, from those who were MON in such a quiet sector they could almost forget they were at MON war, to those who were already becoming hardened to the MON brutality of war, including the recollections of veterans MON who took part in one of the bloodiest battles of the war, MON the Battle of Neuve Chapelle.

MON MON Fermor is arguably the most influential travel writer of the MON 20th Century. At the age of eighteen he took off, with MON notebook in hand, on a walk across Europe. During the Second MON World War he fought in Greece and Crete, and is still MON remembered in the country today for his daring exploits with MON the resistance. His most celebrated action came in 1944 when MON he led a commando operation to abduct the German General MON Heinrich Kreipe. MON MON In the early 1960s he moved to Greece, to the Southern MON Peloponnese. He built a house in the village of Kardamyli in MON the Mani. It was here that he wrote much of his most MON celebrated work and where he remained until his death in MON June 2011. MON MON John Humphrys visits Fermor's village to explore the MON influence that Greece had upon his life and work, and also MON to consider the impact that he had on the village and the MON people he lived alongside. John visits Fermor's former home, MON now in the care of the Benaki Museum in Athens, and MON discusses the plans for its future. He meets those in the MON village who met Leigh Fermor when he first arrived in the MON 1960s - a man in his nineties recalls how they "danced on MON the tables into the night" - and he hears tales of MON influential guests, great writers like Bruce Chatwin and MON John Betjeman, even a King and Queen.

Delicate, colourful yet MON exquisitely fragile we have painted and eulogised the MON butterfly from time immemorial. MON MON A "butterfly mind" skips from subject to subject... they are MON modern metaphors for the trivial and light-hearted. Yet we MON forget that at times some butterflies have been used as MON menacing creatures. MON MON Their eye-spots, used to deter predators, were interpreted MON as eyes watching you from hedgerow and meadow to make sure MON no lewd behaviour happened in the fields. The deep, blood MON red colour of the red admiral was seen as a sign of Christ's MON crucifixion and therefore a symbol of suffering a death. MON MON The butterfly metamorphoses between body forms, reminding us MON that our earthly body will one day be transformed. MON MON Butterflies have also been the subject of overwhelming MON passion. Intense, obsessive collectors have chased them over MON every continent, even shooting them from the skies with guns MON and then trembling with overwhelming excitement as they put MON a blackened, torn creature into their displays. They are MON souls of the dead flying to heaven or an inspiration for MON fashion designers, or a symbol of death. Few creatures have MON had so much laid on their delicate shoulders. MON MON Today, butterflies are symbols of freedom and harmony with MON nature, the poster insects for a utopia where people and MON nature are at one. MON MON Dr Blanca Huertas MON Dr Blanca Huertas MON is Senior Curator for the non-UK butterfly collection at the MON Natural History Museum MON overseeing around 35,000 drawers filled with some 4.5 MON million specimens.

Is it the monster literature portrays lurking TUE in the deep of the ocean or a timid misunderstood creature? TUE TUE Tennyson evokes the deep, slumbering Kraken as a monster TUE slumbering in the cold, dark depths of the ocean. Twenty TUE Thousand Leagues brings that monster into focus as it tries TUE to drag a ship underwater and devour the terrified crew. TUE Where did these stories come from? TUE TUE The Odyssey was the first known piece of literature to TUE suggest a tentacle beast of the sea and it has never left TUE our imagination. Yet when a giant squid was filmed by TUE Japanese scientists, and then one was fished out of the TUE ocean near the Falklands, we now see that giant squid are TUE extraordinary, rather beautiful creatures. TUE TUE Far from being a terrifying monster they peck delicately at TUE their food and are afraid of loud noises. For a monster they TUE are remarkably timid. With recent discoveries and increasing TUE knowledge have we vanquished the monster from the deep? Or TUE will our need for monsters mean we create another, even TUE stranger beast? Or perhaps now that our sea faring days TUE exploring the unknown oceans are over will our monsters come TUE from outer space, the last frontier? TUE TUE Will we always need a monster to scare us?

TUE TUE Its latest report says resources are being devoted to TUE migrants' care but not towards screening and collecting TUE basic information such as their nationality - which means TUE many are quickly moving on to countries like the UK. TUE According to the report, 'this puts the EU internal security TUE at risk'. TUE TUE There are also fears terrorists belonging to the so-called TUE Islamic State could secrete themselves among the migrants. TUE TUE So how easy is it for people to avoid security checks as TUE they journey across the EU?

WED WED Jennifer Bute was a highly successful GP in her late 50s WED when she realised she was forgetting things. At first, she WED attributed it to getting older. But when she forgot where WED her surgery was, and didn't recognise her colleagues, she WED resigned and moved into a care village. Now in her late 60s WED and widowed, she is an active campaigner for people with WED dementia, with her own website WED (www.gloriousopportunity.org), and much in demand as a WED conference speaker. WED WED She talks eloquently and inspirationally about the living WED effects of the condition - the hallucinations, time WED travelling and forgetting decades of her life, the journeys WED she can no longer take alone, the meltdowns, and the day she WED stood and watched as her shopping melted on the stove. WED WED She reflects on how her 30-year career as a doctor gave her WED the knowledge to recognise the illness before anyone else - WED it took five years and three neurologists for her to be WED officially diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. WED WED Now, her mission is to educate people about dementia, a WED condition that affects 700,000 people in the UK alone and, WED by association, their family and friends. WED WED Jennifer explains what it means to her to live with dementia WED and the impact on herself and her family of three grown-up WED children and seven grandchildren.

Kennedy THU was shot in Dallas the very thought takes me directly to an THU over furnished front room in a Dublin student lodging over THU 50 years, but all still as lucid as ever. THU Maybe this is why I have never had any problem with the fact THU that 30 years elapsed before our written records of Jesus THU appeared - Jesus, a man years younger than any of those THU mentioned, and who died an extremely public and violent THU death – THU Here are accounts originating in those closest to him, whose THU souls and consciousness had been so seared by all that they THU had seen that awful day. THU No wonder then that so many of their memories should focus THU ONLY on that last week in Jerusalem - in one case a third of THU the whole Gospel THU No wonder that we find in it, a certain ring of truth THU causing our imaginations to take us to an upper room a THU sombre garden or to a hillside we look up in wonder at a THU lonely taunted figure on a cross. THU Lord for those indelible memories of your Son, in life and THU death, we give you thanks. THU Amen.

THU THU 11:30 Cutting Up the Cut-Up b05zl52m (Listen) THU The writer Ken Hollings examines how an artistic device THU called the 'cut-up' has been employed by artists and THU satirists to create new meanings from pre-existing recorded THU words. THU THU Today's digital age has allowed multi-media satirists like THU Cassetteboy to mock politicians and TV celebrities online by THU re-editing - or cutting up - their broadcast words. But the THU roots of this technique go back to the early days of the THU avant-garde. The intention has always been to amuse, to THU surprise, and to question. THU THU The founder of the Dadaist movement, the poet Tristan Tzara, THU proposed in 1920 that a poem could be created simply by THU pulling random words cut from a newspaper out of a hat. And THU it was this idea of the random juxtaposition of text, of THU creating new meanings from pre-existing material, that so THU appealed to the painter Brion Gysin in the late 1950s when THU he and his friend, the American writer William S Burroughs, THU began applying the technique not just to text but to other THU media too - including words recorded on tape. THU THU From that point on, the recorded spoken word cut-up acquired THU a voice of its own, with less random, more deliberate, THU planned forms starting to emerge. THU THU Radio 4's 'On the Hour' used the cut-up to satirise the THU culture of broadcast news. The producer of that series, THU Armando Iannucci, is just one of a number of artists who THU talk to Ken Hollings about the evolution and impact of the THU technique. THU THU Other contributors include Cassetteboy, Kevin Foakes (aka DJ THU Food), artist Vicki Bennett and Coldcut's Matt Black.

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. You can learn more about The Listening FRI Project by visiting bbc.co.uk/listeningproject FRI FRI Producer: Marya Burgess. FRI
