In 'Mustn't Grumble', writer and SAT broadcaster Bidisha sets out to identify why complaining is SAT so important to us, and also precisely how we go about it. SAT She visits an international language school to hear how SAT students learning English react to lessons in 'hedging' (the SAT art of introducing a complaint with apology - "I'm terribly SAT sorry but..", "Forgive me for mentioning it but.."); she SAT also meets literary professor Phil Davis to track complaint SAT through the fictional pages of history, former comedian and SAT classicist Natalie Haynes to found out how the Ancients did SAT it, and journalist Lynne Truss to find out why we never SAT complain to a hairdresser. Along the way she also meets a SAT professional complainer, Jasper Griegson, who's sent SAT thousands of letters of complaint over the years, sometimes SAT in verse, sometimes in medieval script, to find out the best SAT methods of complaining. Bidisha also wonders, finally, SAT whether complaining is actually good for us - whether the SAT occasional gains we may achieve are worth so much of our SAT energy and spirit. The programme will make use of the ample SAT archive of complaint, from Juvenal to 'Points of View', SAT Samuel Pepys' diaries to Alf Garnett and Tom Wrigglesworth.

SAT SAT A dynamic new dramatisation by Timberlake Wertenbaker of Leo SAT Tolstoy's epic - from the translation by Richard Pevear and SAT Larissa Volokonsky - follows the fortunes of three Russian SAT aristocratic families during the Napoleonic War.

SAT SAT 22:15 Unreliable Evidence b04xrl8r (Listen) SAT Good Samaritan Law SAT SAT Clive Anderson and guests ask why Britain, unlike many other SAT countries in the world, has no general law which requires SAT people to behave like good Samaritans, punishing those who SAT fail to help others in trouble. SAT SAT Under French law, a person who endangers the life or health SAT of another by failing to assist in some way faces SAT imprisonment of up to five years or a fine of 75,000 euros. SAT In the UK there would be no liability whatsoever. We can SAT walk past a drowning baby with legal impunity. SAT SAT Our common law system in the UK does not generally impose SAT liability for pure omissions - failures to act. There is no SAT general duty of care owed by one person to prevent harm SAT occurring to another. However, a duty of care can arise, for SAT example, once someone attempts to rescue a drowning child if SAT they inadvertently make things worse. SAT SAT So is British law both failing to make people behave as good SAT Samaritans and punishing them if they do? What needs to SAT change? SAT SAT The panel includes former law lord, Lord Hoffmann, and SAT distinguished academic lawyer Andrew Ashworth who have SAT polarised views on the issue. Andrew Ashworth calls for the SAT introduction of a general good Samaritan law, arguing that SAT our current law is untidy and unprincipled. Lord Hoffmann SAT suggests such a law would be unnecessary and inappropriate. SAT SAT With leading barrister Peter Cooke and French law expert SAT Catherine Elliott, the panel examines the arguments for and SAT against a law imposing a duty of rescue.

His family is poor and Samuel grew up in one room, SUN which he shared with his parents and siblings. There was no SUN room to study. When he was ten, he discovered his local SUN community library, stocked with books from Book Aid SUN International. He describes it as the best discovery of his SUN life. Through the library, Samuel met his mentor, who helped SUN him to study. Samuel is now in this third year of study for SUN a degree in Economics at the University of Nairobi. SUN Samuel says: “The library robbed me from the harsh SUN conditions of the slum, and gave me a source of hope.” SUN SUN Bilha’s story SUN SUN Samuel Musembi found the local community library in Mathare SUN slum, Nairobi, when he was ten years old. Now that he is SUN studying for a degree in Economics, Samuel volunteers at the SUN library that transformed his life. Samuel is now a mentor SUN for other children in the library, including Bilha Wangari, SUN who dreams of becoming a doctor. Bilha is 13 years old and SUN has also grown up in the Mathare slum. The area where she SUN lives has no electricity and there is no light by which to SUN study. Bilha has been using the local community library SUN since she was seven. Samuel helps her to study and serves as SUN an example that where you’re born doesn’t have to determine SUN what you can become. SUN Bilha says: “Without education, I have no future…The books SUN will help me achieve my dreams of becoming a doctor. Thanks SUN to the library I am now the best at English in my family and SUN they are proud of me.” SUN SUN 07:57 Weather b04y6v9t (Listen) SUN The latest weather forecast.

SUN SUN Liz Bonnin presents the adelie penguin on a windswept SUN Antarctic shore. A huddle of braying shapes on a windswept SUN shore in Antarctica reveals itself to be a rookery of Adelie SUN Penguins. These medium sized penguins whose white eye-ring SUN gives them an expression of permanent astonishment were SUN discovered in 1840 and named after the land which French SUN explorer Jules Dumont d'-Urville named in honour of his wife SUN Adele. They make a rudimentary nest of pebbles (sometimes SUN pinched from a neighbour) from which their eggs hatch on SUN ice-free shores in December, Antarctica's warmest month, SUN when temperatures reach a sizzling minus two degrees. In SUN March the adult penguins follow the growing pack ice north SUN as it forms, feeding at its edge on a rich diet of krill, SUN small fish and crustaceans. But as climate change raises SUN ocean temperatures, the ice edge forms further south nearer SUN to some of the breeding colonies, reducing the distance SUN penguins have to walk to and from open water. But, if ice SUN fails to form in the north of the penguin's range it can SUN affect their breeding success, and at one research station SUN breeding numbers have dropped by nearly two thirds.

SUN SUN The ruins of Lowther Castle SUN SUN Epitomising the eccentric extravagance of the Yellow Earl SUN Plant labels found in Lowther Castle gardens... made of SUN lead! SUN SUN This week's questions and answers: SUN Q. Could you recommend some plants and trees to allow me to SUN recreate a little piece of the Lake District in my back SUN garden? It is 15m (49ft) long, south-facing and steep. SUN A. You could try Juniper, Foxgloves, Primulas, Primroses, SUN Meconopsis cambric, Speedwell, and Ferns. Use one tree, such SUN as a Hawthorn or a Rowan. This can all be set against a dry SUN stone wall. SUN Q. Why do thick tree roots rise to the surface of lawns and SUN how can they be dealt with? SUN A. Cherry trees are notorious for this. You can cut them out SUN but that isn't good for the health and stability of the SUN tree. You could raise the soil level, but not very much SUN without causing damage. SUN You could make a feature of the roots and add some bulbs in SUN between to create a tapestry effect. Try Narcissus hawera, SUN Narcissus obvallaris, Narcissus lobularis, or Cyclamen. Add SUN a layer of soil and compost on to the roots, let it break SUN down and then plant the bulbs. You could also try later SUN bulbs such as Camassias. SUN Q. The bottom of my garden is very dark and loved by ferns. SUN What could I add for colour? SUN A. There are many varieties of Lamiums to choose from. Try a SUN specialist Fern nursery for an array of different greens and SUN textures. Also add snowdrops. If it is a boggy area, you can SUN add some mounding. Narcissus cyclamineus requires damp SUN conditions and will dry out otherwise. Smilacina racemosa SUN thrives in wet soil and produces plumes of white flowers. SUN Lysimachia clethroides has grey-green leaves and elegant SUN white flowers like a shepherds crook. You could try white SUN Astilbe, variegated Hostas, Cyclamen hederifolium, or white SUN Foxgloves. SUN Q. My pretty Amelanchier tree has an orange fungus on the SUN trunk, running up from the base. What is causing it? SUN A. It sounds like Coral Spot. It usually gets a hold when SUN the plant has already been damaged. Cut out anything that is SUN dying and any covered wood. But if it is on the trunk you SUN might be better to get rid of the whole tree, as the fungus SUN will spread around the garden. Check that something else SUN hasn't caused the initial damage before you attempt to plant SUN on the same spot. SUN Q. My Laburnum tree has developed some ugly, twisted SUN branches and some very long, straight branches. What could SUN be causing this? SUN A. It could be fascination that causes a twisted and ribbed SUN appearance on the stem. It is rarely caused by infection but SUN by a late frost or insect damage. Occasionally weed killer SUN could cause it. Laburnum does have a tendency to throw out SUN water shoots. More water shoots could be a consequence of SUN pruning. SUN SUN 14:45 The Listening Project b04y9rj2 (Listen) SUN Fi Glover introduces teenagers campaigning on the issue of SUN anorexia, and fathers and daughters dealing with the loss of SUN a family member and the loss of a career, in the Omnibus SUN edition of the series that proves it's surprising what you SUN 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.

If MON she could afford it, she could go down the official and MON regulated route to a fertility clinic and get pregnant using MON donor sperm. But that could cost thousands of pounds. So MON instead, she's gone online and entered the world of MON unregulated sperm donation. MON MON Jolyon Jenkins investigates this shadowy world. It's illegal MON to sell sperm, but some men are making a living doing so. MON Others offer free sperm in return for "natural MON insemination", i.e. sex. Some women report that men who MON start by appearing to offer free sperm, gradually exert MON pressure on them to have sex. MON MON But what of those who want neither money nor sex in return MON for their sperm? Jolyon discovers the world of the "super MON donor" - men who compete to inseminate as many women as MON possible, in an acknowledged bid to spread their genes as MON widely as they can. Their activity can border on the MON obsessive."It is a bit like stamp collecting really," says MON one. "I devote three hours per day to it, through travelling MON to donate or arranging my spreadsheets or doing my photo MON albums of the children". MON MON The risks to women and their children are obvious - sexually MON transmitted infection, hereditary conditions unwittingly MON passed on, and accidental incest between half-siblings. If MON women could afford to use the official channels, they would MON be much safer. Instead, they are being driven into the hands MON of sexual adventurers, serial liars, and hobby eugenicists.

Will MON Smallbone find true love or, perhaps inevitably, make a MON complete hash of it? MON MON In 1885, God (Geoff McGivern) nodded off. In 2015, he awoke MON to discover that his idiot servant, the angel Smallbone, had MON accidentally handed out God's plans for the next millennium MON when he was only meant to hand out plans for the next MON century. A thousand years of leisurely human progression has MON been crammed into the last 130. No wonder we're all so MON stressed. We weren't even meant to have pocket calculators MON until 2550. MON MON Not only that, but God's blueprints should have run out in MON the mid-eighties - but we kept going. Humans are now MON inventing things God never even dreamed of - mobile phones, MON wireless internet and Made in Chelsea. MON MON Smallbone is cast down to Earth in human form by God, tasked MON with the dauntingly vague mission of 'reversing the last MON thirteen decades of human progression'. The problem is that MON Smallbone is the world's biggest fan - he loves modern MON technology and his new human body, and he becomes distracted MON by everything that he's meant to destroy.

MON Yet his personality was mercurial; bouts of hyper-activity MON were interspersed with black days of depression. While he MON had a loving marriage, he spent long periods apart from his MON wife and children, some of whom caused him deep anxiety and MON distress. MON MON To mark the fiftieth anniversary of his death, celebrated MON historian Sir David Cannadine, author of In Churchill's MON Shadow, examines the life and career of Winston Churchill by MON looking at ten different themes that are less well known, MON but which are crucial to a fuller understanding of one of MON the most extraordinary individuals ever to occupy No. 10 MON Downing Street. MON MON The first programme explores how Winston Churchill was a MON committed bricklayer, and he even joined the bricklayers' MON union. But this didn't mean he had anything in common with MON the working man. He was surrounded by a retinue of servants, MON he never even set foot in a shop and he famously got stuck MON on the Circle Line the only time he used the tube.

David Aaronovitch MON investigates the mysterious birth of this modern myth - and MON introduces a unique new BBC experiment, conducted in MON collaboration with The Infinite Monkey Cage, to try it out. MON MON Subliminal advertising was first tried out on the public in MON a cinema in New Jersey in 1956 - but no information about MON this was formally released for over a year. MON MON And when the man behind the experiment finally went public, MON the mystery just deepened. James Vicary, a well-known MON 'motivational researcher', claimed amazing results for his MON new technique - but refused to reveal details, pleading a MON patent application. MON MON He thought people would be pleased as his method would mean MON fewer ad breaks - but instead, he faced an explosion of MON panic and outrage. Subliminal advertising was damned as "a MON technique for a Goebbels". MON MON And then a cinema trade paper, Motion Picture Daily, MON actually investigated the story - and it turned out that the MON manager of the cinema said the experiment hadn't really had MON any impact on sales... MON MON In this programme, David Aaronovitch clears away much of the MON myth and misinformation surrounding Vicary and his strange MON experiment - and explores what science has to tell us about MON subliminal influence. MON MON He talks to Professor Wolfgang Stroebe of the University of MON Utrecht in Holland, who explains how, in strict lab MON conditions, he has repeatedly made subliminal advertising MON work. MON MON But can his laboratory findings be transferred to a public MON venue? MON MON To test this, David presents a unique new BBC experiment, MON developed and run by producer Phil Tinline under the MON guidance of Professor Stroebe. MON MON In our test, almost 100 volunteers from the Infinite Monkey MON Cage audience are divided into a test group and a control MON group. Each group is shown the same three-minute clip - but MON only one contains subliminal flashes of the name of a drink MON brand. MON MON Then the volunteers are offered a choice of two drinks - the MON drink brand, and a mineral water. But will the test group MON pick the subliminally advertised brand significantly more MON often than the control group? MON MON To find out, listeners will need to stay with Radio 4. The MON results will be announced during the edition of the Infinite MON Monkey Cage that follows straight on from this programme... MON MON With: Professor Charles Acland, Kelly Crandall, Professor MON Timothy Moore, Professor Wolfgang Stroebe MON MON PRODUCER: PHIL TINLINE MON MON NOTE: Prof Stroebe's research shows that subliminal messages MON are ineffective if the participants know about them. MON Participants in our experiment confirmed in writing that MON they understood and accepted that we could not divulge the MON full nature of this experiment, or what we were testing, MON until afterwards. MON MON 16:30 The Infinite Monkey Cage b04yfsst (Listen) MON Series 11, Deception MON MON Brian Cox and Robin Ince are joined on stage by author and MON journalist David Aaronovitch, psychologist Professor Richard MON Wiseman and neuroscientist Professor Sophie Scott as they MON tackle the science of deception. They'll be asking why we MON seem to be so good at telling lies, but not very good at MON spotting them, and why being good liars could be the secret MON to our success as a social animal. They will also be MON carrying out their own act of deception on the monkey cage MON audience. They reveal the results of an experiment to test MON the idea of subliminal advertising, carried out by David MON Aaronovitch for the Radio 4 documentary, "Can You Spot the MON Hidden Message" . Will they manage to secretly persuade a MON section of the theatre audience to pick one type of soft MON drink over another by secretly flashing the name of a MON certain brand on a screen?

But one recent study shows that 50% of MON wildlife has disappeared in the last 40 years. As human MON population grows and pressure on resources increases many MON feel there needs to be a bold plan to ensure we can share MON the planet with other forms of life so that they and us can MON continue. One proposition is called Half Earth - make half MON of the earth just for nature. The vision is for a meandering MON network of nature corridors that open out into huge parks MON set aside for wildlife.

Nina Land, a West End actress, faces a dilemma. MON She's not supposed to be at the hotel in the first place, MON and certainly not with a married man - the celebrated MON portrait artist, Stephen Wyley - but once it becomes MON apparent that she may have seen the face of the man dubbed MON 'the Tie-Pin Killer' she realises that another woman's life MON could be at stake. MON MON Jimmy Erskine is the raffish doyen of theatre critics who MON fears that his star is fading. Age and drink are catching up MON with him and, in his late-night escapades with young men, he MON walks a tightrope that may snap at any moment. He has MON depended for years on his loyal and longsuffering secretary MON Tom, who has a secret of his own to protect. Tom's chance MON encounter with Madeleine Farewell, a lonely young woman MON haunted by premonitions of catastrophe, closes the circle - MON it was Madeleine who narrowly escaped the killer's MON stranglehold that afternoon and now she walks the streets in MON terror of him finding her again. MON MON Curtain Call is a poignant comedy of manners, and a tragedy MON of mistaken intentions. From the glittering murk of Soho's MON demi-monde to the grease paint and ghost-lights of MON theatreland, the story plunges on through smoky clubrooms, MON street corners where thuggish Blackshirts linger and tawdry MON rooming houses.

TUE TUE 05:58 Tweet of the Day b04t0sc8 (Listen) TUE Kakapo TUE TUE Michael Palin presents the New Zealand Kakapo, high on the TUE ferny slopes of its island fortress off the coast of New TUE Zealand. Kakapos are flightless and the heaviest parrots in TUE the world. They're also called owl-parrots from their TUE nocturnal habits and open owlish expressions. Like owls TUE their plumage is richly mottled although no owl shares their TUE beautiful moss-green tones. TUE TUE Kakapos also have a curious mating strategy. The males TUE gather at traditional "leks" or display areas to attract TUE mates. At the top of a wooded ridge, the male digs one or TUE more a bowl- like depressions in the ground which function TUE as an amplifier. He then takes a deep breath, swells his TUE throat-pouch like a balloon then releases the air with a TUE soft booming call which can carry up to five kilometres. TUE TUE This sound can now only be heard on a handful of offshore TUE islands. The kakapo story is tragically familiar. Flightless TUE and ground-nesting, it was helpless in the face of settlers TUE who logged its forests and introduced cats and rats which TUE slaughtered the birds. Between 1987 and 1992 the last TUE surviving kakapos were relocated to predator-free islands. TUE Now following intensive care and a national conservation TUE strategy, there are about 130 kakapos in the wild.

The four guests from different TUE areas of expertise from archaeology to conservation science TUE to oceanography choose one thing that tells a big story. TUE Monty Don explores how each object shows how our view of TUE nature has changed since our time as hunter gatherers. Over TUE the thousands of years we have lived on earth we have become TUE increasingly divorced from the nitty gritty of the natural TUE world. Where are we heading and what do we need to do to TUE enable all of life to share this one planet? As population TUE increases and stress on resources gets more intense there TUE has never been a more important time to assess our impact on TUE planet earth. TUE TUE Dr Regan Early TUE Dr Regan Early TUE researches and lectures in conservation biology at the TUE University of Exeter.

TUE TUE 11:30 The True Story of Abner Jay b04yftl1 (Listen) TUE Laura Barton pieces together the true story of Abner Jay, a TUE most unusual musical talent. TUE TUE Abner Jay was an itinerant musician - a modern-day minstrel. TUE He was a one-man band, a songster, a storehouse of history TUE and an off-colour raconteur; he was a direct line to a TUE different era. TUE TUE He said that his instruments were centuries old, passed down TUE through his family. That his father and grandfather had been TUE slaves. He claimed to have fathered 16 children, that daily TUE doses of water from the Suwannee River kept him young and TUE that he was 25 years younger than you think. TUE TUE But you never know what to believe with Abner Jay. TUE TUE What is certainly true is that he travelled the Southern TUE states of the US with a converted mobile home which he TUE opened out into a makeshift stage. And he was possibly the TUE last performer of the 'bones' - a musical tradition that TUE involved playing rhythms on cow and chicken bones dried in TUE the sun. TUE TUE The writer Laura Barton talks to those who knew him and TUE those who love his music in an effort to dig beneath the TUE myth and misdirection and reveal the true story of Abner TUE Jay.

TUE TUE 12:04 A History of Ideas b04yftl3 (Listen) TUE Simon Schaffer on Humans, Apes and Carl Linnaeus TUE TUE Simon Schaffer is interested in the human species in general TUE and one member of it in particular. Carl Linnaeus was a TUE Swedish botanist and zoologist who set out the basic TUE structure of how we name and understand life on earth. In TUE doing so he broached the thorny question of where humans TUE should sit among the species of the earth. A hundred years TUE before Darwin he correctly placed us among the apes. Simon TUE examines that relationship to see the things that mark our TUE similarities and our differences. Simon comes face to face TUE with 'Jock', an adult Gorilla at Bristol Zoo and talks to TUE Prof. Robert Foley about human evolution. He also sees how TUE Linnaeus' ideas were used to support racial science. After TUE all if humans were more like apes perhaps some humans were TUE more like apes than others.

TUE Yet his personality was mercurial; bouts of hyper-activity TUE were interspersed with black days of depression. While he TUE had a loving marriage, he spent long periods apart from his TUE wife and children, some of whom caused him deep anxiety and TUE distress. TUE TUE To mark the fiftieth anniversary of his death, celebrated TUE historian Sir David Cannadine, author of In Churchill's TUE Shadow, examines the life and career of Winston Churchill by TUE looking at ten different themes that are less well known, TUE but which are crucial to a fuller understanding of one of TUE the most extraordinary individuals ever to occupy No. 10 TUE Downing Street. TUE TUE Winston Churchill is known to have drunk copious quantities TUE of alcohol. But was he an alcoholic? He developed a taste TUE for Havana cigars while visiting Cuba, but did he actually TUE smoke all those cigars? Churchill was so keen on his food TUE that, during the Second World War, the constraints of TUE rationing were unknown to him. In the second programme of TUE 'Churchill's Other Lives', Sir David Cannadine enjoys TUE Winston Churchill's prodigious appetite for food, drink and TUE cigars.

Nina Land, a West End actress, faces a dilemma. TUE She's not supposed to be at the hotel in the first place, TUE and certainly not with a married man - the celebrated TUE portrait artist, Stephen Wyley - but once it becomes TUE apparent that she may have seen the face of the man dubbed TUE 'the Tie-Pin Killer' she realises that another woman's life TUE could be at stake. TUE TUE Jimmy Erskine is the raffish doyen of theatre critics who TUE fears that his star is fading. Age and drink are catching up TUE with him and, in his late-night escapades with young men, he TUE walks a tightrope that may snap at any moment. He has TUE depended for years on his loyal and longsuffering secretary TUE Tom, who has a secret of his own to protect. Tom's chance TUE encounter with Madeleine Farewell, a lonely young woman TUE haunted by premonitions of catastrophe, closes the circle - TUE it was Madeleine who narrowly escaped the killer's TUE stranglehold that afternoon and now she walks the streets in TUE terror of him finding her again. TUE TUE Curtain Call is a poignant comedy of manners, and a tragedy TUE of mistaken intentions. From the glittering murk of Soho's TUE demi-monde to the grease paint and ghost-lights of TUE theatreland, the story plunges on through smoky clubrooms, TUE street corners where thuggish Blackshirts linger and tawdry TUE rooming houses.

WED WED To mark the fiftieth anniversary of his death, celebrated WED historian Sir David Cannadine, author of In Churchill's WED Shadow, examines the life and career of Winston Churchill by WED looking at ten different themes that are less well known, WED but which are crucial to a fuller understanding of one of WED the most extraordinary individuals ever to occupy No. 10 WED Downing Street. WED WED As a young man, Winston Churchill discovered his love for WED words and decided to make a living out of them, initially as WED a war correspondent.

WED WED A draft consultative Bill of Rights and Responsibilities is WED expected to published soon, setting out more detail on the WED Government proposals, which are likely to include amendment WED of the "right to family life" contained in Article 8 of the WED ECHR. The Government wants to ensure "a foreign national who WED takes the life of another person will not be able to use a WED defence based on Article 8 to prevent the state deporting WED them after they have served their sentence". But might any WED tampering with human rights law potentially weaken its WED general effectiveness? WED WED Andrea Coomber, Director of the civil rights group Justice, WED warns that the Bill of Rights would be "a patchwork of WED national rules which would mean no standard at all" with WED human rights subject to the "whims of national interest".

WED WED With growing mainstream discussion prompted by high-profile WED transgender people like boxing promoter Frank Maloney, WED WikiLeaks source Chelsea Manning and model Andrej Pejic, WED gender dysphoria is fast becoming more visible. Indeed there WED has been a steady rise in the numbers of referrals to Gender WED Identity Clinics across the country and patient numbers at WED Charing Cross have doubled in the last five years. WED WED This series follows a group of transgender patients pursuing WED treatment for gender dysphoria in order to 'become WED themselves'. In the first programme we meet Freddie, WED Mitchell and Blade, who were raised female and are seeking WED treatment as trans men. The second programme centres on WED trans women Bethany, Emma and Tanya, who are making the WED opposite journey. WED WED We also hear from the psychiatrists, endocrinologists and WED surgeons as they meet and assess the patients on a WED day-to-day basis. Their treatment decisions have the WED potential to transform the lives of their patients, but WED these irrevocable changes are not made lightly.

Nina Land, a West End actress, faces a dilemma. WED She's not supposed to be at the hotel in the first place, WED and certainly not with a married man - the celebrated WED portrait artist, Stephen Wyley - but once it becomes WED apparent that she may have seen the face of the man dubbed WED 'the Tie-Pin Killer' she realises that another woman's life WED could be at stake. WED WED Jimmy Erskine is the raffish doyen of theatre critics who WED fears that his star is fading. Age and drink are catching up WED with him and, in his late-night escapades with young men, he WED walks a tightrope that may snap at any moment. He has WED depended for years on his loyal and longsuffering secretary WED Tom, who has a secret of his own to protect. Tom's chance WED encounter with Madeleine Farewell, a lonely young woman WED haunted by premonitions of catastrophe, closes the circle - WED it was Madeleine who narrowly escaped the killer's WED stranglehold that afternoon and now she walks the streets in WED terror of him finding her again. WED WED Curtain Call is a poignant comedy of manners, and a tragedy WED of mistaken intentions. From the glittering murk of Soho's WED demi-monde to the grease paint and ghost-lights of WED theatreland, the story plunges on through smoky clubrooms, WED street corners where thuggish Blackshirts linger and tawdry WED rooming houses.

WED WED Writer Pete Jackson is a recovering alcoholic and has spent WED time with Alcoholics Anonymous.

THU Yet his personality was mercurial; bouts of hyper-activity THU were interspersed with black days of depression. While he THU had a loving marriage, he spent long periods apart from his THU wife and children, some of whom caused him deep anxiety and THU distress. THU THU To mark the fiftieth anniversary of his death, celebrated THU historian Sir David Cannadine, author of In Churchill's THU Shadow, examines the life and career of Winston Churchill by THU looking at ten different themes that are less well known, THU but which are crucial to a fuller understanding of one of THU the most extraordinary individuals ever to occupy No. 10 THU Downing Street. THU THU Winston Churchill had an unhappy childhood. His father was THU distant, drunken and cold. His mother was a spendthrift who THU had numerous affairs. So how was he able to rise above his THU difficult upbringing and become the success he did? Sir THU David Cannadine looks at Winston Churchill's family life, THU exploring the legacy left by Churchill's childhood when he THU himself became a father.

FRI FRI Tucked discreetly around the side of the small parish church FRI of St Martin's, Churchill's understated grave contrasts FRI utterly with the pomp and ceremony of the State Funeral at FRI St Paul's Cathedral and procession through the capital held FRI in his honour on the 30th of January 1965, six days after FRI he'd died at the age of ninety. FRI FRI Following the same journey taken by Churchill's coffin from FRI London to this small village six miles north west of Oxford, FRI William meets members of St Martin's Parish, Bladon FRI residents, and the visitors who continue to make their own FRI 'pilgrimage' to the graveside to pay their respects. FRI FRI Along the way, he asks why Churchill chose Bladon, what FRI impact this decision has had on the village, and the nature FRI of commemoration as we mark 50 years since the passing of FRI the Prime Minister still considered by many to be our FRI Greatest Briton. FRI FRI Producer: Stan Ferguson. FRI FRI 11:30 Mark Steel's in Town b03s76dh (Listen) FRI Series 5, Southall FRI FRI Mark Steel returns to Radio 4 for a fifth series of the FRI award winning show that travels around the country, FRI researching the history, heritage and culture of six towns FRI that have nothing in common but their uniqueness, and does a FRI bespoke evening of comedy in each one. FRI FRI As every high street slowly morphs into a replica of the FRI next, Mark Steel's in Town celebrates the parochial, the FRI local and the unusual. From Corby's rivalry with Kettering FRI to the word you can't say in Portland, the show has taken in FRI the idiosyncrasies of towns up and down the country, from FRI Kirkwall to Penzance, from Holyhead to Bungay. FRI FRI This edition comes from Southall in Middlesex, which is also FRI known as "little India" due to the large Asian community FRI there. Mark tried the local food - Jalebi, Paan, Pakora - FRI that can seem alien to someone who grew up in 1960s Kent. FRI The twin landmarks of Heathrow Airport and the Sikh temple FRI dominate the area, with the latter proving more popular as FRI Mark also discusses football, astrology and bank openings.

It's not to do with FRI what we are but about how we treat each other. Taking the FRI work of the philosopher Wittgenstein he argues that to be FRI human is to be considered worthy of certain kinds of respect FRI and moral compassion. For Giles, human is a moral category FRI and it is an instruction to treat each other well. FRI FRI 12:15 You and Yours b04yjvbw (Listen) FRI Consumer news.

FRI FRI 13:45 Churchill's Other Lives b0505wjd (Listen) FRI Education FRI FRI Winston Churchill was revered by millions as the saviour of FRI Britain in the Second World War, but he wasn't just a great FRI war leader - he wrote millions of words of journalism, he FRI painted, he built brick walls, he owned racehorses, he FRI gambled in Monte Carlo casinos and even wrote screenplays. FRI Yet his personality was mercurial; bouts of hyper-activity FRI were interspersed with black days of depression. While he FRI had a loving marriage, he spent long periods apart from his FRI wife and children, some of whom caused him deep anxiety and FRI distress. FRI FRI To mark the fiftieth anniversary of his death, celebrated FRI historian Sir David Cannadine, author of In Churchill's FRI Shadow, examines the life and career of Winston Churchill by FRI looking at ten different themes that are less well known, FRI but which are crucial to a fuller understanding of one of FRI the most extraordinary individuals ever to occupy No. 10 FRI Downing Street. FRI FRI He may have been one of the most visionary and impressive FRI people who lived, but Churchill had a difficult time at FRI school and a limited education. Today, Sir David Cannadine FRI explores how Churchill's school days were rebellious and FRI underachieving and how, after leaving Harrow, he applied FRI three times to Sandhurst before passing the entrance exam. FRI Being denied the benefit of an Oxbridge education left FRI Churchill with complicated feelings of regret so, while FRI serving as a young officer in India, he resolved to educate FRI himself. The autodidact who never went to University later FRI became the Chancellor of Bristol University and even had a FRI Cambridge College named after him.

This FRI second series runs from 1961 to 1970. FRI FRI Spanning six decades, the saga plots the course of one FRI family against the back-drop of a revolution in crime as the FRI underworld extends its influence to the very heart of the FRI establishment, in an uncomfortable relationship of shared FRI values. FRI FRI At the start of the 1960s, Joey Oldman acquires crafty FRI Arnold Goodman as his solicitor, and buys shares in the FRI civil engineering firm owned by the corrupt Minister of FRI Transport, Ernest Marples. FRI FRI Prospering with the help of venal bankers, and growing more FRI devious, he and his wife Cath join Macmillan's Conservative FRI Party. They strive without success to keep their son Brian FRI free of the influence of Jack Braden (Cath's nephew) as he FRI takes their 'firm' from running illicit clubs, where they FRI entertain politicians and judges, to armed robbery. All the FRI while, Jack and Brian struggle to keep free of the police FRI and further entanglements with the law, the Kray twins and FRI the Richardsons.

Nina Land, a West End actress, faces a dilemma. FRI She's not supposed to be at the hotel in the first place, FRI and certainly not with a married man - the celebrated FRI portrait artist, Stephen Wyley - but once it becomes FRI apparent that she may have seen the face of the man dubbed FRI 'the Tie-Pin Killer' she realises that another woman's life FRI could be at stake. FRI FRI Jimmy Erskine is the raffish doyen of theatre critics who FRI fears that his star is fading. Age and drink are catching up FRI with him and, in his late-night escapades with young men, he FRI walks a tightrope that may snap at any moment. He has FRI depended for years on his loyal and longsuffering secretary FRI Tom, who has a secret of his own to protect. Tom's chance FRI encounter with Madeleine Farewell, a lonely young woman FRI haunted by premonitions of catastrophe, closes the circle - FRI it was Madeleine who narrowly escaped the killer's FRI stranglehold that afternoon and now she walks the streets in FRI terror of him finding her again. FRI FRI Curtain Call is a poignant comedy of manners, and a tragedy FRI of mistaken intentions. From the glittering murk of Soho's FRI demi-monde to the grease paint and ghost-lights of FRI theatreland, the story plunges on through smoky clubrooms, FRI street corners where thuggish Blackshirts linger and tawdry FRI rooming houses.
