SAT SAT But take a fresh look at this film, 45 years later, and it's SAT obvious why it blasted its way passed the opposition at the SAT Academy Awards.

SAT Producer: Rabeka Nurmahomed SAT Editor: Jane Thurlow. SAT SAT Labour's Pink Bus SAT Harriet Harman has hit the campaign trail in her pink battle SAT van - amid a storm of ridicule on social media. Labour's SAT deputy leader believes the van will help the party connect SAT with women who did not vote in 2010. But Twitter users have SAT attacked it as "patronising" and "sexist". Ms Harman said SAT she "signed-off" on the "eye-catching" colour scheme for the SAT minibus, which will tour 70 constituencies across the UK in SAT the run up to May's general election. But does the SAT ridiculing simply distract from the real issue – that woman SAT voters especially among the working class are disillusioned SAT with politics? SAT SAT Fay Weldon SAT Novelist, screenwriter and essayist, most notably author of SAT The Life and Loves of a She-Devil and The Cloning of Joanna SAT May, Fay Weldon describes herself as a chronicler of how SAT society has changed, particularly for women. The ever SAT shifting relationship between men and women: marriage, SAT infidelity, divorce, contraception, abortion, motherhood, SAT housework, and thwarted careers, are her enduring themes. SAT Now in her 80’s, she’s collected together twenty-one of her SAT own favourite short stories written throughout her writing SAT career under the title of Mischief, and including a new SAT novella – a science fiction-type ghost story. Jane Garvey SAT speaks to the deliciously mischievous Fay Weldon. SAT SAT Cultural Appropriation SAT Cultural appropriation is the concept of mainstream fashion SAT and music labels taking inspiration from ethnic minority SAT cultures. But when does this become more than just SAT inspiration? When does this become dangerous, offensive or SAT even patronising? And why so often is it women of colour who SAT are objectified more so than men of colour?

SAT SAT Meanwhile, Pierre is convinced that he is on a mission to SAT single-handedly save Russia from Napoleon, while his own SAT feelings towards Natasha could be something more than just SAT those of a concerned 'guardian'. As the war continues to SAT spread across Russia, Prince Bolkonsky and Marya are warned SAT by Andrei that troops could be drawing closer to their home SAT near Smolensk. The news is too much for the old Prince.

SAT SAT 22:15 Moral Maze b051s4rg (Listen) SAT Muslim Leadership SAT SAT When an heir to the throne feels moved to step in to a SAT minefield as potentially explosive as Muslim values you know SAT something is amiss. At the weekend Prince Charles, who has SAT been a self-professed admirer of Islam, gave an interview SAT where he expressed alarm at the extent of the radicalisation SAT of young British Muslims and added "particularly in a SAT country like ours where, you know, the values we hold dear. SAT You'd think that the people who have come here, born here, SAT go to school here would imbibe by those values and SAT outlooks." It must be a difficult time to be a Muslim in SAT Britain. The Rotherham child sex abuse scandal; the number SAT of Muslims in jail in England and Wales has hit an all-time SAT with 1 in 5 of those in top security prisons being Muslim; SAT another murderous video apparently fronted by a British SAT Muslim - there are now said to be more British Muslims SAT fighting for ISIS than for the British Army; the Birmingham SAT Trojan Horse inquiry. It's a grim list which will no doubt SAT appal the majority of Muslims as much as it does anyone SAT else. There are plenty of misleading and malicious SAT interpretations of what's happening. But these issues are so SAT profoundly important to the social cohesion of our society SAT that many people, including Muslims, are now asking is there SAT a crisis of moral leadership in Britain's Muslim community? SAT Each of these stories has its own complex and intricate mix SAT of cause and effect, some of which are unique and some SAT overlapping. Where are the powerful leaders, stepping on to SAT the national stage to address these problems and point to SAT solutions? Islam is a diverse faith, but can it really be SAT just a structural problem? Are the leaders there, but SAT finding their voices are being drowned out by an SAT unrelentingly hostile press? Is there something more SAT fundamental about the nature of faith in the public sphere? SAT Or are the majority paying an unfair price for the SAT distortion of their faith by the radicalised few?

But when the writer and stand-up performer AL SUN Kennedy visits, in the course of desperately trying to SUN finish her latest novel, she's all too aware of the great SUN and the good who've undone themselves there, from Jim SUN Belushi to Jim Morrison and Helmut Newton.

SUN SUN 06:05 Something Understood b0520t2c (Listen) SUN Agony and Ecstasy SUN SUN If you're lucky enough to have felt it, a sudden SUN overwhelming sense of well-being can be life-changing. Where SUN do these crucial moments in our lives come from? Are they SUN just chemicals reacting in the brain or could they originate SUN from the divine? SUN SUN John McCarthy reflects on the strange and sudden experience SUN of euphoria. He begins with a deeply puzzling euphoric SUN moment from his own life. Did he feel God or simply the SUN release of endorphins? He revisits the trauma psychiatrist SUN that helped him make sense of the bewildering experience. SUN SUN John reflects on others' euphoric moments and their SUN different sources - like religious ecstasy, brain disorders, SUN drugs, exercise and music. He considers the mystical SUN experiences of saints - Paul the Apostle's awakening on the SUN road to Damascus, and St Teresa of Avila's sudden state of SUN ecstasy consumed by the love of God. SUN SUN Before his epileptic seizures, Fyodor Dostoevsky would SUN experience staggering seconds of bliss, which influenced his SUN writing and religious sentiments. In The Doors of SUN Perception, Aldous Huxley detailed his euphoric experiences SUN taking the hallucinogenic drug mescaline. Beyond the SUN short-cut of mind-altering drugs, long-distance runners have SUN often experienced euphoria after pushing their bodies to the SUN absolute limit. The conclusion to Wagner's Tristan and SUN Isolde climaxes with a musically-induced euphoria for both SUN the audience and the performers. SUN SUN Euphoria takes on many forms, but the feeling is often SUN transformative. Euphoria can seemingly spontaneously enter SUN one's life or can be experienced through the very human SUN effort to transcend ordinary humdrum experience. SUN SUN Producer: Colin McNulty SUN A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN 06:35 The Living World b0520t2f (Listen) SUN The Wood Mice of Wytham SUN SUN In the company of Marc Brouard and Nigel Fisher, Conservator SUN of Wytham Woods, Trai Anfield hears how these small mammals SUN have a vital role to play in the ecology of the woodland. SUN SUN Wytham Woods, is reputedly, the most studied woodland in SUN World. Marc Brouard is the latest in a long line of SUN scientific researchers to undertake field studies on small SUN mammals. In 1943 Charles Elton, known as 'the father of SUN modern ecology', studied wood mice and bank voles and his SUN work was followed up by H.N. Southern who examined the SUN impact of predation by tawny owls on populations of small SUN mammals. Marc aims to understand how the characteristics of SUN individual wood mice and bank voles can affect the survival SUN of each species.

Additionally, React families are given the SUN opportunity to take one week’s respite a year in one of the SUN charity’s nine mobile homes based at seven UK seaside SUN locations.

As the charity’s sole Patron, SUN Sister Frances continues to guide React’s work, and by using SUN her expertise in the field of children’s palliative care, SUN ensures the charity continues to meet the needs of children SUN living with a life-shortening condition.

SUN SUN The Kibble family SUN SUN Meet the Kibble Family: React has worked with the Kibble SUN family for a number of years, providing vital items SUN including specialist seating, sleep systems, clothing and SUN bedding, and a washing machine.

SUN SUN 08:48 A Point of View b051w4f2 (Listen) SUN The Purpose of Satire SUN SUN Will Self finds himself driven to reconsider the nature and SUN purpose of satire in the wake of the murders at Charlie SUN Hebdo in Paris. "The paradox is this: if satire aims at the SUN moral reform of a given society it can only be effective SUN within that particular society; and furthermore only if SUN there's a commonly accepted ethical hierarchy to begin with. SUN A satire that demands of the entire world that it observe SUN the same secularist values as the French state is a form of SUN imperialism like any other.". SUN SUN Credits SUN Presenter: Will Self SUN SUN 08:58 Tweet of the Day b04t0vl3 (Listen) SUN Ostrich SUN SUN Michael Palin presents the avian record breaking ostrich in SUN the Kalahari Desert. Ostriches are ornithological SUN record-breakers. The black and white adult male ostrich is SUN taller and heavier than any other living bird, reaching SUN almost 3 metres in height and weighing a whopping 150 SUN kilograms. Females are smaller but lay the largest eggs of SUN any bird. The ostrich's eye measures 5cm in diameter and is SUN the largest of any land vertebrate. SUN SUN Ostriches live in the wide open landscapes of central, SUN eastern and South-West Africa. As well as being tall and SUN observant, Ostriches also minimise their chances of being SUN predated on, by living in groups and sharing lookout duties, SUN or staying close to sharp-eyed antelope and zebra herds. SUN They can also use their powerful legs to try and outrun a SUN predator, reaching speeds of up to 70 kilometres per hour SUN which makes them the fastest avian runner.

We spend SUN £762million a year and the market's growing with trendy SUN exotic flavours spicing up the choice on offer new gadgets SUN to help make the dish and slimmers replacing juicing with SUN 'souping', it's gaining pace. SUN SUN Tim Hayward is passionate that this dish is more than simply SUN an appetiser and keen to stamp out memories of wishy-washy, SUN tasteless broths. Past horrors had made it a laughing stock SUN with 'Brown Windsor Soup' being the punchline of many jokes SUN in the 50s and symbolic of austerity and low-quality SUN catering. He searches out the roots of this much-mocked SUN comic dish, alongside Turtle and Bombay duck varieties, and SUN seeks to clear its name. SUN SUN Along the way he meets the man who made millions and SUN revolutionised the market with fresh soups which are SUN stealing our hearts from the old tins, gets top tips from SUN the 'Soupsayer' and spins the colour wheel at the pub whose SUN soup is always a mystery but 'never vegetarian'.

SUN SUN 13:30 A Love Supreme: 50 Years On b051s0fp (Listen) SUN Often cited as one of the greatest albums ever made, John SUN Coltrane's A Love Supreme is revered not just by jazz SUN aficionados but music fans the world over. Fifty years after SUN its release, British saxophonist Courtney Pine explores what SUN makes it such a unique and important record. SUN SUN John Coltrane intended A Love Supreme to be a spiritual SUN record - a declaration of his religious beliefs and personal SUN spiritual quest. However the album also had a wider cultural SUN significance. It was released in February 1965, just days SUN after black rights activist Malcolm X was assassinated and SUN weeks before Martin Luther King led the March on Alabama, SUN and for many the sound and feel of the music captures SUN perfectly the sadness, confusion and anger of America's SUN growing black consciousness movement. SUN SUN Courtney visits Gaumont State Theatre in Kilburn, North SUN London, where Coltrane performed on a tour in 1961. He is SUN joined by a trio of leading British jazz saxophonists - Nat SUN Birchall, Finn Peters and Jason Yarde - whose lives have SUN been inspired and shaped by A Love Supreme and the music and SUN spirit of John Coltrane. SUN SUN Our quartet of musicians explore why the album touches so SUN many and continues to do so with each new generation.

SUN SUN Chris Beardshaw and members of the local horticultural SUN society visit nearby Chatsworth in search of the winter SUN crown jewels. SUN SUN Produced by Howard Shannon SUN Assistant Producer: Hannah Newton SUN SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN This week's questions and answers: SUN Q. Why are my parsnips multi-rooted? SUN SUN A. Anne - This can often be caused by stony or clay soil. SUN SUN Bob – If you add fertiliser or compost, the roots will SUN search for it in different directions. You shouldn’t mix SUN anything into the soil before you grow. You could plant them SUN in an old onion bed, scarify the surface and top off with a SUN bit of sterile compost. SUN SUN SUN Q. Why are the bluebells on our local roundabout failing? SUN They are growing beneath a recently planted oak tree. SUN SUN A. Anne – Colonies of bluebells in woodland grow amongst an SUN established system of roots and leaf litter. In the SUN summertime they are protected from too much water by the SUN canopy and thirsty tree roots. Your area of bluebells will SUN not have these advantages. SUN SUN SUN Q. Daffodils – To deadhead or not to deadhead? SUN SUN A. Chris – It largely depends on the type of daffodil. If SUN you are growing large hybrid varieties there is no harm in SUN deadheading. They often don’t produce any viable seed or the SUN seed doesn’t come true because of the hybrid nature of the SUN bulb. If you are growing species, such as Narcissus SUN pseudonarcissus or Narcissus bulbocodium, then don’t SUN deadhead. Plants are weakened by the production of seed but SUN you will get a naturalisation. With each seed produced the SUN plant sends a hormonal message to make sure that it doesn’t SUN over commit. SUN SUN SUN Q. I am trying to raise Magnolia from seed. Have the panel SUN tried this and have they any tips to increase the SUN germination rate? SUN SUN A. Soulangeana germinates very easily and the seed has often SUN germinated before it hits the ground. Magnolias need a SUN period of chill. Put them in damp sand in a refrigerator for SUN at least a month. Then add them to seed compost and add to a SUN propagator in a cool glasshouse. They layer very easily. SUN SUN Anne – Be patient, as many of them can take several years SUN and will germinate in the second or third spring. SUN SUN Bob – Use ericaceous compost diluted with leaf mould and SUN sand. Magnolias don’t like lime. SUN SUN SUN Winter Garden planting suggestions: SUN SUN -Hellebores, Pulmonaria, Acer griseum, Hamamelis, Cyclamens, SUN Polyanthus, Primulas. SUN SUN 14:45 The Listening Project b04c9xcn (Listen) SUN For 40 years Iby kept secret the fact that she'd been held SUN in Auschwitz - she didn't even tell her husband. She finally SUN told someone 30 years ago and one of the conversations SUN introduced by Fi Glover is with that friend; the other is SUN with her granddaughter. Since Iby finally revealed her SUN secret, she has gone on to tell her story to more than SUN 20,000 people, most of them school children, in her SUN determination that the horrors of the Holocaust should never SUN be repeated. And, in a departure for The Listening Project, SUN Iby reads the powerful poem she wrote in her pursuit of this SUN aim. 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.

Radical is a word pertaining to roots – SUN Latin *radix*, a root. We differ at root, the headmistress SUN and I, upon the question whether we are employed to educate SUN the minds of girls or to intrude upon them. We have had this SUN argument before, but Miss Mackay is not, I may say, an SUN outstanding logician. A logician is one skilled in logic. SUN Logic is the art of reasoning. What is logic, Rose?’ '‘To do SUN with reasoning, ma’am,’ said Rose, who later, while still in SUN her teens, was to provoke Miss Brodie’s amazement and then SUN her awe and finally her abounding enthusiasm for the role SUN which Rose then appeared to be enacting: that of a great SUN lover, magnificently elevated above the ordinary run of SUN lovers, above the moral laws, Venus incarnate, something set SUN apart. In fact, Rose was not at the time in question engaged SUN in the love affair which Miss Brodie thought she was, but it SUN seemed so, and Rose was famous for sex.

SUN SUN Also, the BBC's Director General Tony Hall has weighed into SUN the ongoing debate about changes to The Archers. Jeremy Howe SUN gives his reaction to the DG's intervention. SUN SUN And is the BBC's news output little more than a barrage of SUN bleak and dismal events? Is there space - or even a need - SUN for more good news stories?

MON MON By one measure, the modern British state is roughly 7,000 MON times bigger than the Tudor state. How and why did that MON happen?

MON MON The evolution of the state may be driven less by party MON politics than party politicians might like us to think. MON Although the state's size and functions are a natural MON subject of fierce political argument, the impetus for the MON biggest changes has often come from another source - such as MON war, economic growth, and the power that arises from MON knowledge.

MON MON The refusal of the US grand juries to indict police officers MON involved in the deaths of unarmed black men led to protests MON in 170 cities. National Guard troops were ordered to MON Ferguson, Missouri, "Die-ins" were staged in several cities MON and thousands took to the streets in New York. MON MON The protests have been referred to as a "new Civil Rights MON Movement", with the name of Malcolm X, and some of his MON quotes, used on placards and in chants. Many protestors MON demanded the angry, stronger response reminiscent of his MON philosophy. MON MON On the 50th anniversary of Malcolm X's assassination, it MON seems that the Civil Rights leader's legacy is being revived MON by a new generation - perhaps becoming even more relevant MON than that of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. MON MON With the events surrounding the recent killings of unarmed MON black men as backdrop, this programme explores the newly MON framed race problem in the States. MON MON British-born writer Gary Younge considers Malcolm X's life MON and how he would assess Ferguson. MON MON Rapper-turned-activist Tef Poe describes his experience of MON the protests in his hometown of St. Louis. Several of his MON songs invoking the name of Malcolm X have become protest MON anthems. MON MON Black Arts Movement poet Sonia Sanchez remembers her MON encounters with Malcolm X in the 1960s. MON MON Professor of History Peniel Joseph examines the current MON generation's relationship with Civil Rights. MON MON These powerful voices are played against archive of recent MON American protests and the speeches of Malcolm X, who in some MON ways may be considered to be talking about today as much as MON the 1960s.

Politicians worry MON that not enough people from less-privileged backgrounds get MON the opportunity to move up in life. But are we prepared to MON accept that others lose out - and move in the opposite MON direction? Jo Fidgen explores the implications of downward MON social mobility. MON Producer: Charlotte McDonald. MON MON 21:00 Finding Your Voice b051s0fm (Listen) MON Comedy performer and broadcaster Helen Keen, explores a rare MON condition that she herself once suffered from, known as MON selective mutism or SM. An anxiety disorder that develops in MON childhood, those affected by SM can usually speak fluently MON in some situations, notably at home, but remain silent MON elsewhere - such as in school, with extended family members, MON or even parents. Their inability to speak is so severe that MON it's been likened to a phobia of speaking, and is often MON accompanied by the physical symptoms of extreme anxiety. MON Selective mutism can be mistaken for shyness or worse, a MON deliberate refusal to talk. But in reality, these children MON are desperate to speak, to share their thoughts and ideas, MON to make friends and to fulfil the expectations of their MON teachers and parents, in taking an active part in class MON activities. Yet somehow the words remain "trapped" inside as MON the anxiety, frustration and fear, builds. MON MON Though relatively rare, increasing awareness and official MON recognition of selective mutism in the psychiatric MON literature has seen an increase in diagnoses. Today, it's MON estimated to affect about 1 in 150 children in the UK - MON roughly equivalent to the number of children who are MON affected by classic autism. The causes of selective mutism MON are poorly understood but a genetic component is likely as MON are environmental influences. What's clear is that without MON early intervention, SM can take hold and persist well into MON adulthood and in rare cases can develop into more acute MON mental health problems. As Helen knows only too well, it can MON be a lonely place to grow up in as the quiet child is so MON often, 'the forgotten child'. It wasn't until Helen was in MON her early twenties that she managed to break the silence.

TUE TUE In these two editions of One to One, John talks to people TUE who can give him greater insight into the condition and to TUE discover how we can all become more accepting of it and TUE those who are affected by it. TUE In this first programme, John talks to Simon Baron-Cohen, a TUE professor at Cambridge University in psychology and TUE psychiatry, and also the director of the University's Autism TUE Research Centre. Over more than thirty years, his work has TUE made a huge contribution to an increasingly nuanced, TUE sophisticated understanding of autism, and helped a lot of TUE people, including John.

TUE Geoff Watts explores the science behind this remarkable TUE phenomenon and its worrying implications. TUE TUE Acknowledged for decades, the placebo effect only became the TUE subject of serious scientific study in the last ten years. TUE Not only can sham treatments improve clinical outcomes, TUE sometimes as powerfully as pharmacological interventions, TUE but the method of giving the treatment can itself determine TUE a placebo's success. Perception is everything. But if a TUE placebo can reduce symptoms and enhance treatment then TUE presumably the opposite is true. Welcome to the nocebo TUE effect. TUE TUE Nocebo, meaning "I shall harm", is the wicked sibling of TUE placebo, meaning "I shall please". First remarked on in the TUE medical literature in 1961, it took nearly 40 years for hard TUE evidence to emerge when, on a hunch, an Italian TUE physiologist, Fabrizio Benedetti, conducted a cunning TUE experiment. He injected subjects with two substances that he TUE told them would induce pain. Neither actually would but one TUE substance (unbeknownst to the patients) did in fact have the TUE ability to inhibit anxiety. If there was a specific TUE neurological pathway in the brain that was creating the TUE nocebo effect, could the anti-anxiolytic block it? The TUE answer was emphatically yes and provided the clearest TUE evidence yet that a patient's mere perception of what they TUE expect to happen could induce real, detrimental physical and TUE mental symptoms - in this case anxiety and pain. TUE TUE Other researchers have attempted to explore the phenomenon TUE further. Studies in Germany and the Netherlands showed that TUE nocebo could be induced merely by relaying verbal or visual TUE information to the subjects. In the US, Parkinson's patients TUE told that their brain pacemakers (for deep brain TUE stimulation) were to be turned off experienced dramatically TUE more negative symptoms even though the pacemakers were left TUE switched on. Patients in a trial looking at lactose TUE intolerance were falsely told they were given lactose when TUE in fact they were given glucose and true to form, nearly TUE half complained of stomach pains. TUE TUE In some sense this seems obvious - one can induce fear and TUE anxiety by telling scary stories. But the consequences of TUE nocebo go beyond mere medical curiosity. A few years ago the TUE effect hit the headlines when tens of thousands of people TUE were seemingly affected by it in New Zealand, spurred on by TUE alarmist media reporting about the negative side effects of TUE a 'new' drug. Except it wasn't new at all - it simply had a TUE branding re-launch. The pharmaceutical compounds were TUE unchanged. Nevertheless, this lead to a 2000-fold increase TUE in negative side-effect reporting. So what had caused this? TUE We did - the media. News reports began incorrectly TUE attributing side effects such as joint pain and depression TUE to this so-called new drug. The effect snow-balled. Areas of TUE the country with the highest number of media scare stories TUE saw the highest number of complaints about the drug's side TUE effects. It's not that patients were making it up - as far TUE as they were concerned their symptoms were real but they TUE were not related to the pharmacological effects of the drug TUE but to nocebo. Their health had been hijacked by their TUE expectation. TUE TUE Nocebo is not only more powerful than placebo but it is TUE likely to be more widespread and its implications are far TUE more serious as it not only interferes with the existing TUE treatments but it hinders the development of new drugs. And TUE as clinicians and researchers become more aware of the TUE consequences of nocebo, many reach the same uncomfortable TUE conclusion - that patients are being given too much TUE information about the risks of treatment - be it surgery or TUE drugs - creating anxiety and fear which leads to physical TUE distress. Doctors are caught between a rock and a hard place TUE - First do no harm is the bedrock of medicine. As is TUE informed consent. But what do you do when informed consent TUE leads to harm? And can you even begin to control for what TUE patients can discover for themselves on the internet or TUE through the media? TUE TUE Producer: Rami Tzabar. TUE TUE 11:30 Tales From the Stave b052j0v0 (Listen) TUE Series 11, Mozart's Requiem TUE TUE The manuscript of Mozart's Requiem Mass may have had a TUE starring role in the film Amadeus but in this opening TUE programme of a new series of Tales from the Stave, Frances TUE Fyfield and her guests reveal the equally extraordinary true TUE stories behind the composer's final, unfinished, TUE composition. TUE TUE The film played fast and loose with the role of Salieri in TUE the decline and death of the composer. In fact his role is TUE relatively minor. But the score - or rather the scores, for TUE Mozart's wife Constanza over-saw work on two separate TUE volumes - tells of contributions, additions, edits and TUE completions by at least two composers and probably more. And TUE yet through these layers of development, a masterpiece of TUE dramatic composition still manages to emerge. TUE TUE Frances is joined by the music scholar Nigel Simeone, the TUE Viennese conductor Manfred Huss and Jette Engelke, a member TUE of the Wiener Singakademie choir. They help to unpick what TUE is and what isn't in Mozart's own hand and why they believe TUE the completed work is so close to a structure conceived by TUE the composer. TUE TUE The team is indebted to the host at the Austrian National TUE Library, Dr Thomas Leibnitz, who allows few to see this TUE extraordinarily valuable manuscript. "It is" he points out TUE laconically "quite simply the most valuable piece in our TUE entire collection". TUE TUE Producer: Tom Alban.

WED WED The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a WED snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the WED UK volunteer to have a conversation with someone close to WED them about a subject they've never discussed intimately WED before.

Every conversation - they're WED not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - WED lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key WED moment of connection between the participants. Most of the WED unedited conversations are being archived by the British WED Library and used to build up a collection of voices WED capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade WED of the millennium.

Working WED class black Americans have moved from the Deep South to work WED in the car factories of Detroit and what has emerged from WED them is a new kind of soul music - upbeat, rhythmic and WED aspirational. British car factory workers have also found WED that the music's mood and rhythm speaks for them and WED Northern Soul has become an exclusive music and dance scene WED with its own code and culture, focussing on Friday WED all-nighters. WED WED Mark, a 17-year-old, middle class lad, gets his first job - WED in a car factory in Wolverhampton. Super cool factory worker WED Jerry introduces him to Northern Soul and Mark is hooked. He WED wants to be a part of it - the music, clothes, and WED all-nighters. Winning Jerry's friendship, he asks to go to WED Wigan Casino, voted the best club in the world - but Jerry WED questions Mark's authenticity and is undecided whether to WED take him. WED WED Thirty-five years later and Mark, now a married father and a WED journalist living in London, interviews Jerry about the end WED of the Northern Soul scene.

THU THU 11:30 Writing a New South Africa b052ln5f (Listen) THU Johannesburg, City of Recent Arrivals THU THU Writing a new South Africa THU THU A picture of South Africa now, as seen by a new generation THU of writers and poets. THU THU In a three part series, street poet 'Afurakan' Thabiso THU Mohare explores the major cities of Johannesburg and Cape THU Town, talking to 'Born Frees', writers of the freedom THU generation - those born under apartheid but whose adult THU years have been spent in a new democracy, and gaining THU insights from an older generation who only began to publish THU their work in the new democratic era. THU THU Thabiso looks at South Africa two decades after the fall of THU apartheid, through the themes writers are choosing to engage THU with in their work. These authors, poets and playwrights are THU exploring the past and present, from apartheid's legacy to THU political corruption, the chaos of the inner city; some are THU exorcising ghosts, and some tackling current issues, or THU looking to an imagined future. There is plenty to write THU about after the end of the struggle. THU THU Thabiso talks to new voices who are just making their names, THU and those who are already established, addressing the THU problems they face, causes for optimism, and the way THU conditions and opportunities have changed for writers in the THU past two decades. He looks at what they feel to be their THU literary heritage, and who they take inspiration from in a THU culture still feeling the inequalities of the educational THU legacy of apartheid. Literacy issues for some and the lack THU of a culture of reading more widely mean that the market for THU books is small, and the road to the arts truly blossoming THU into normalcy in South Africa after the end of apartheid has THU been uneven and complex. Other outlets for storytelling too THU - poetry and spoken word events, plugging into older THU traditions - are supporting the flowering of a diversity of THU voices as hoped for when the political landscape changed so THU radically in 1994, with writers of all ethnicities pitching THU in to the fray. Radio 4 explores the range of voices now THU being heard and the picture they present. THU THU In programme 1 Thabiso talks to Johannesburg-based writers THU and poets. He takes a walk through the bustling University THU district of Braamfontein with Ivan Vladislavic, who has THU documented the changing city in his novels and non-fiction THU work 'Portrait with Keys', and they talk about Staffrider THU magazine, which provided an outlet for new voices from a THU range of communities during the darkest years of apartheid. THU He explores writing about Hillbrow, the troubled inner city THU district, by Ivan, Phaswane Mpe's 'Welcome to our Hillbrow', THU and Lauren Beukes in 'Zoo City'. He talks to his mentor THU Khosi Xaba and to the prominent poet Lebo Mashile, whose was THU published in 2005, and some younger spoken word poets who THU have been inspired by her.

We hear from domestic THU servants, who come to the UK on visas "tied" to their THU employers - meaning their right to be here is solely at the THU behest of their employers. The "tied" system was abolished THU in 1998 but has been re-introduced in an effort to close an THU immigration loophole. As it stands campaigners say it's a THU charter for cruelty and abuse. Protection is even less for THU similarly employed domestic workers who come here to clean, THU cook and childmind for diplomats. Even when their working THU conditions are deemed unacceptable by an employment tribunal THU - the employer need only cite "diplomatic immunity" to THU defeat their claim. One worker tells us that the long, THU unpaid hours she worked, were, in effect defended by our own THU Foreign and Commonwealth Office, as being within the scope THU of "diplomatic immunity." THU THU Finally we hear how a "transit visa" is being used to bring THU in recruits to the fishing industry who (they are told) , THU have no right to set foot on dry land. instead the workers THU spend weeks at a time out at sea, sleeping in cramped THU conditions. As a final insult, they can find they haven't THU been paid by the Filipion agent who fixed the job for them. THU THU Face the Facts asks why the new legislation has failed to THU address the dismal lives of these hidden but perfectly legal THU slaves who've been tricked and trapped into a life of THU exploitation.

In this first programme she's THU invited to take part in the 20th annual walk up to the top THU of the Stiperstones in Shropshire with a group of men who THU came together to bond as fathers. Quentin Shaw started the THU tradition when his sons were at primary school as a way of THU encouraging the men to get to know each other. THU The group has grown from the original five fathers to about THU fifty men, from teenagers to some in their seventies: THU fathers, colleagues, friends, sons, friends of sons.

FRI FRI He looks at what governments through the centuries have FRI spent, borrowed, taxed, regulated and built; and he FRI considers how we came to organise a national life that FRI reaches into every corner of private life, from the delivery FRI of pensions and healthcare to the surveillance of emails or FRI rules about the temperature of a hot cup of tea. FRI FRI By one measure, the modern British state is roughly 7,000 FRI times bigger than the Tudor state. How and why did that FRI happen? FRI FRI The story of the state unfolds through muddy fields, FRI smugglers coves and a Victorian village lock-up. Numbers FRI become sound as we hear the dramatic scale of change that FRI has occurred over the centuries. FRI FRI The evolution of the state may be driven less by party FRI politics than party politicians might like us to think. FRI Although the state's size and functions are a natural FRI subject of fierce political argument, the impetus for the FRI biggest changes has often come from another source - such as FRI war, economic growth, and the power that arises from FRI knowledge.

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
