SAT SAT James Purefoy plays Arthur Machin and Emily Watson is Mrs SAT Hammond, accompanied on the touchline by an ensemble cast SAT including John Thomson, Julia Davis, Sheridan Smith and SAT Philip Jackson.

SAT SAT Former players talk about his remarkable abilities on the SAT field - as Australia's leading leg spinner of the 50's and SAT 60's, a dogged batsman, and a superb tactician and captain. SAT SAT At the end of his playing career, he turned to journalism SAT and eventually to television presentation and commentary, SAT where he became the undisputed master of understatement. He SAT was once described as the 'Sir David Attenborough of SAT Australia'. SAT SAT We hear his recollections, and his own commentaries, of some SAT of the great moments of international cricket - from the SAT 1960 Tied Test to Botham's Ashes and Edgbaston 2005 - and SAT discuss his love of wine, France and his special role as SAT President of the French Cricket Association. SAT SAT We also touch on his diffidence to those who mimicked his SAT style and delivery - although he did once remark, "Rory SAT Bremner I have no problem with; he is a satirist and a very SAT funny one too".

SAT SAT Music composed by David Tobin, Jeff Meegan and Julian SAT Gallant SAT Produced and directed 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 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 b05xh31j (Listen) SAT The figures for migrants crossing the Mediterranean are SAT startling. The Royal Navy ship HMS Bulwark rescued 1,200 SAT people from their leaky boats this weekend. More than 43,000 SAT people have already made the crossing this year - a 50% SAT increase on the numbers for last year. It's estimated that SAT more than 1,600 people have drowned trying to make the SAT journey. The statistics can't tell the story of the misery SAT and suffering of the individuals seeking a better, safer SAT life. But what are our moral responsibilities here? The SAT imperative to save the life of those in peril on the sea is SAT long established. But does the fact that many of these SAT people are on the point of drowning put them in a different SAT moral category? To put it bluntly, have they jumped the SAT queue? Does choosing to take the risk and paying large sums SAT of money to people traffickers, make them any different from SAT those left behind? And if so how do you make that judgment? SAT Is there a moral difference between an asylum seeker and an SAT economic migrant? Or is that a moral cop-out demanding SAT Solomon like judgment of degrees of suffering? Because of SAT the overwhelming numbers, those rescued at sea will in many SAT cases effectively be allowed to stay in Europe as Italy and SAT Greece are keen to move them on. The Thai, Malaysian and SAT Indonesian governments have all been criticised for refusing SAT to let the Rohingya boat people land and there was an outcry SAT when the international search and rescue effort in the Med SAT was stopped. But does actively seeking out migrant boats SAT create a moral hazard? Is it any fairer to try and destroy SAT the boats before the refugees can take to the sea? Or does SAT stranding them in the very place they're trying flee just SAT mean we can turn a convenient blind eye to their suffering? SAT SAT 23:00 Counterpoint b05xd50b (Listen) SAT Series 29, Heat 1, 2015 SAT SAT (1/13) SAT Paul Gambaccini returns with the first heat in the 2015 SAT series of the wide-ranging music quiz.

SAT SAT Elayne Harrington, aka 'Temper-Mental Miss-Elayneous' is a SAT hip-hop poet and spoken word artist from Dublin; Stephen SAT Sexton a PhD student at the Seamus Heaney Centre for Poetry SAT in Belfast; Paula Cunningham was brought up in Omagh, County SAT Tyrone, and works as a part-time dentist. SAT SAT While Yeats's poem speaks of a desire to build 'a cabin of SAT clay and wattles' on Innisfree, Marie-Louise and our three SAT poets will be sleeping under canvas and cooking on a SAT campfire. As they discover if the reality of this tiny SAT uninhabited island on Lough Gill lives up to the bucolic SAT idyll which Yeats so famously portrayed, they'll ask if SAT 'peace comes dropping slow' in the 'bee loud glade' as they SAT each reflect on how The Lake Isle of Innisfree resonates SAT with them and come up with their own poetic responses to it.

SUN SUN To celebrate this momentous event in our history, we’ve been SUN celebrating throughout May with processions and SUN re-enactments bringing alive King John’s time especially for SUN the children, who have loved it! But this morning, slightly SUN more seriously, Master of the Temple in London’s law courts, SUN The Rev’d Robin Griffith-Jones will be our preacher. Our SUN worship begins with a hymn which defines a relationship SUN between God and our national life - Judge Eternal Throned In SUN Splendour. SUN HYMN Judge Eternal Throned In Splendour c.2:30 SUN ALISON: SUN [From the castle here in Odiham - built by King John SUN himself - the angry, defensive and bankrupt monarch set out SUN for one of the most fateful weeks in the history of England SUN and of the world. At Runnymede, the king’s men set up the SUN royal pavilions - high, like circus tops – which towered SUN over the mass of baronial tents already pitched on the SUN meadow…although it’s likely that the king withdrew to nearby SUN Windsor Castle each night, feeling unsafe in the midst of SUN recalcitrant barons and their multitude of knights – all SUN armed to the teeth! At the end of five days of tense SUN negotiations, the king – advised by seven Bishops and two SUN Archbishops – reluctantly put his seal to the Great Charter SUN of the Liberties of England.] SUN At least thirteen copies of Magna Carta were made: four are SUN still extant and can be seen exhibited at the British SUN Library - and at Salisbury and Lincoln Cathedrals, where SUN they have been faithfully preserved ever since that summer SUN of 1215. But although we don’t claim Odiham as the SUN birthplace of Magna Carta - we do like to believe that the SUN prayers said by and for King John on the morning he set SUN forth from Odiham to Runnymede, just might have had an SUN influence on that historic event. SUN SUN And so we pray and confess our sins: SUN SUN Eternal God, in whose perfect realm no sword is drawn but SUN the sword of righteousness, and no strength known but the SUN strength of love: so guide and inspire the work of those who SUN seek your kingdom that all your people may find their SUN security in that love which casts out fear and in the SUN fellowship revealed to us in Jesus Christ our Saviour, who SUN is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy SUN Spirit, one God, now and for ever: SUN ALL: Amen SUN SUN THE CONFESSION SUN GWYNNETH MOORE: SUN Jesus saw the city and wept over it, because it did not SUN recognise the time of God’s coming. We confess our part in SUN the self-centredness, blindness and sin of the life of our SUN communities. Lord God, our maker and our redeemer, this is SUN your world and we are your people: come among us and save SUN us. We have wilfully misused your gifts of creation; SUN ALL: Lord be merciful forgive us our sin. SUN SUN We have seen the ill-treatment of others and have not gone SUN to their aid; SUN ALL: Lord be merciful forgive us our sin. SUN SUN We have condoned evil and dishonesty and failed to strive SUN for justice; SUN ALL: Lord be merciful forgive us our sin. SUN SUN We have heard the good news of Christ, but have failed to SUN share it with others; SUN ALL: Lord be merciful forgive us our sin. SUN SUN We have not loved you with all our heart, nor our neighbours SUN as ourselves; SUN ALL: Lord be merciful forgive us our sin. SUN THE ABSOLUTION SUN ALISON: SUN Almighty God, who in Jesus Christ has given us a kingdom SUN that cannot be destroyed, forgive you your sins, open your SUN eyes to God’s truth, strengthen you to do God’s will and SUN give you the joy of his kingdom, through Jesus Christ our SUN Lord. SUN ALL: Amen. SUN SUN ALISON: SUN Magna Carta marked the first step in the establishment of SUN human rights and a fair justice system in this country, SUN something which we all value but which is still denied to SUN many. So as we give thanks for our own freedom and SUN democracy, we think of others who long for Christ’s light to SUN shine through their darkness, bringing peace, truth and SUN hope. SUN HYMN Christ, be our light! c.3:50 SUN SUN READING SUN JOHN WALKER: SUN A reading from Chapter 2 of the New Testament Letter of SUN James. SUN Listen, my beloved brothers and sisters. Has not God chosen SUN the poor in the world to be rich in faith and to be heirs of SUN the kingdom that he has promised to those who love him? But SUN you have dishonoured the poor. Is it not the rich who SUN oppress you? Is it not they who drag you into court? Is it SUN not they who blaspheme the excellent name that was invoked SUN over you? SUN You do well if you really fulfil the royal law according to SUN the scripture, “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.” SUN What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if you say you SUN have faith but do not have works? Can faith save you? If a SUN brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food, and one of SUN you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and eat your SUN fill”, and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is SUN the good of that? So faith by itself, if it has no works is SUN dead. SUN The word of the Lord. SUN ALL: Thanks be to God. SUN SUN ALISON: SUN We’re about to hear an address by The Rev’d Robin SUN Griffith-Jones, Master of the Temple and an authority on SUN Magna Carta – but first, to emphasise the need for Justice SUN at the heart of any well-ordered society, throughout history SUN - the choir sing the ancient words of Psalm 42, set to music SUN by contemporary composer, James MacMillan. SUN CHOIR: Give Me Justice (James MacMillan) c.3:00 SUN SUN Sermon SUN In: “St James writes, “You do well if you……..” SUN Out: “…in 2115, by a generation yet unborn.” SUN SUN Dur: 6’14” (short) [7’43” long version] SUN (hymn next) SUN PRE-REC - ADDRESS SUN ROBIN : SUN St James writes, “You do well if you really fulfil the royal SUN law according to the scripture, “You shall love your SUN neighbour as yourself.” SUN On Monday 15 June 1215 the King John sealed his agreement SUN with the barons – and tomorrow morning, Monday, 800 years SUN later to the day, Her Majesty The Queen and other members of SUN the Royal Family will be at Runnymede. In the name of the SUN nation three people will address Her Majesty and the SUN gathered guests: the Archbishop of Canterbury; the Master of SUN the Rolls, who is the judge in charge of civil justice in SUN England and Wales; and the Prime Minister. In 1215 the SUN Archbishop of Canterbury, Stephen Langton, was one of the SUN principal mediators between John and the barons; ‘the Master SUN of the Rolls’ is an office first recorded in the 13th SUN century; and the Prime Minister inherits an office that has SUN emerged over recent centuries. It is in itself a token of SUN the continuity of government in this country, that these SUN three will tomorrow address a direct descendent of King SUN John. A token of the strength of our evolving constitution SUN that they will do so in unqualified loyalty to the Sovereign SUN who has served her people from the Throne for over 60 years. SUN And a token of Magna Carta’s own significance, that its most SUN famous words are on the statute book to this day: SUN [39] No free man shall be taken or imprisoned or SUN dispossessed or outlawed or exiled or in any way ruined, nor SUN will we go or send against him, except by the lawful SUN judgment of his peers or by the law of the land. SUN SUN [40] To no one will we sell, to no one will we deny or delay SUN right or justice. SUN SUN Anniversaries have a civic value. They remind us as nations SUN and communities who we are, and can reinforce that identity. SUN All of us in England and throughout the Common Law world who SUN share in the Charter’s legacy can claim a share in its SUN history too, even if our own ancestors – whether 800 years SUN ago or 80 – had no connection with England. Equality before SUN the law, fair trial, constitutional and fiscal restraints SUN upon the executive: all these can be traced in a direct line SUN back to Magna Carta. And all of us who enjoy and value these SUN rights are united in the debt we owe to the generations of SUN politicians and jurists who have secured and sustained and SUN developed those rights. What we owe them, and what we share SUN in consequence with each other all over the world, is little SUN less than civilization itself. SUN What we share is not just Magna Carta, but the checks and SUN balances on power that have since been built on its SUN foundation. On the tortuous and contested journey towards SUN the rights we enjoy today, Magna Carta is now an icon of SUN that journey’s start, not of its destination. [[The SUN Charter’s beneficiaries were the ‘free men’ of England: over SUN half England’s households were probably free by 1215 – the SUN Charter was not an oligarchic coup – but we were a long way SUN from the protection that the law now gives to all those who SUN live here. The rights of noblewomen were extended in the SUN Charter, but remained to our modern ears derisory. The two SUN clauses on the Jews will send a shiver down our spine; the SUN 13th century was not a good century to be Jewish in England, SUN and Magna Carta only deepened their oppression. SUN Even the first of those two great clauses on justice may SUN have been designed simply to give the barons the rights in SUN court before the king himself (who was under the notorious SUN influence of his cronies from France) that the barons’ own SUN tenants enjoyed before the barons. The clause’s importance SUN grew over the centuries. Judgment on barons by baronial SUN equals was now due process subject to Habeas Corpus, the SUN rule that nobody can be held in prison without a charge SUN being formally laid against him or her in court. SUN Should we resent or mock such evolution? Certainly not.]] SUN Those great clauses on justice, in their 17th century sense, SUN have spread round the world in every Common Law constitution SUN and in every Human Rights instrument of the 20th century. SUN They are the bedrock on which, 800 years after Runnymede, SUN much of the world’s freedom is built. SUN SUN And why should the Church, here in Odiham and throughout the SUN country, be celebrating the Charter? As we are hearing SUN throughout this service, Stephen Langton, Archbishop of SUN Canterbury was central to the drafting of Magna Carta and to SUN its sealing. He was applying to the country’s constitution SUN the fundamental principles of kingship that Langton himself SUN had discovered and expounded in Scripture. Two archbishops SUN and seven bishops – and, I am glad to say, my own SUN predecessor as Master of the Temple at the Temple Church! – SUN advised the King to grant the Charter. The Charter imposed SUN baronial control over the King’s sheriffs; to keep the SUN Charter safe from the sheriffs, its copies were entrusted to SUN the Cathedrals. [[From 1225 onwards the Charter’s SUN promulgation was accompanied by the Church’s rituals of SUN excommunication imposed on anyone who broke the Charter’s SUN terms. By 1253, the sentence of this excommunication was SUN read out in parish churches across England, on Sundays and SUN feast-days, accompanied by lighted candles and the ringing SUN of bells.]] In 1279, John Peckham, archbishop of Canterbury, SUN [[ordered his clergy to explain the sentence to their SUN parishioners and]] had copies of Magna Carta fixed to church SUN doors. In the fourteenth century, the Charter was included SUN in a manual for parish priests. It was now part of the SUN clergyman’s job description to know the charter, to SUN publicise and enforce it. Here was faith inspired, at all SUN levels of the Church, to the good works on which depended SUN the peace and well-being of an entire nation. ‘Come, Holy SUN Ghost,’ wrote Stephen Langton. It is no surprise if we in SUN the Church discern the work of the Holy Spirit up and down SUN the country in the preservation and reinforcement of the SUN Charter, all those years ago. SUN SUN The late Sir James Holt, doyen of historians of the Charter, SUN wrote in 1992: SUN The men who were responsible for the Great Charter of 1215 SUN asserted one great principle. In their view the realm was SUN more than a geographic or administrative unit. It was a SUN community. As such, it was capable of possessing rights and SUN liberties which could be asserted against any member of the SUN community, even and especially against the King. SUN SUN It is not the Sovereign now who threatens our rights and SUN liberties; on the contrary, she will tomorrow represent SUN their most powerful protection. We in the Church threaten no SUN excommunication now, wield no candles or curses against SUN those who breach the Charter’s terms. Lessons drawn from so SUN long ago are more rhetorical than practical. But the SUN Church’s part in the creation, promulgation and enforcement SUN of the Charter offers an inspiration to the Church today. We SUN are still called to build out of our country’s disparate SUN components a single, peaceable and just community, with all SUN the courage and insight of Archbishop Stephen Langton SUN himself. Few of us will ever re-shape our nation or our SUN world. But we too have a duty, informed and animated by our SUN faith, to speak up in our ordinary, daily lives for justice SUN and against oppression, to foster freedom, to treat rich and SUN poor, friend and stranger alike. So will we obey the SUN cardinal rule by which Jesus lived and for which he died, SUN “You shall love your neighbour as yourself.” SUN May we bequeath to our children and grandchildren a polity SUN of freedoms so secure that the Charter on which they are SUN built can be rightly celebrated at its next centenary, in SUN 2115, by a generation yet unborn. SUN SUN HYMN Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of SUN creation! SUN (TO BE CUT IF SIGNIFICANTLY OVER DURATION) SUN ALISON: SUN As we’ve heard, one of the king’s chief advisors at SUN Runnymede was Stephen Langton. He was Archbishop of SUN Canterbury at the time, after having just spent eight years SUN in exile because he was the Pope’s – but not King John’s – SUN choice of Archbishop. During his exile, Langton had come up SUN with ideas of how a nation should be governed justly – all SUN of which involved curbing the power of the King and SUN increasing the rights of the church and laity. These SUN principles – some of them based on Biblical precedent for SUN protection against wicked Kings of Israel in Old Testament SUN times – struck at the very heart of King John’s autocratic, SUN arbitrary, and arrogant behaviour that had seen him almost SUN bankrupt England and so many of his barons turn against SUN him. It was Langton who was a prime mover in persuading the SUN reluctant King to set his seal to this charter of rights, SUN conceding that a just monarch should not be above the Law, SUN but should be subject to the Law. SUN Despite managing to persuade the King, Langton hadn’t been SUN born to the role of politician: he was an academic and a SUN prolific writer of histories, sermons, poetry - and the SUN prayer sequence we’re about to hear: ‘Veni, Sancte SUN Spiritus: Come, Holy Spirit, send forth the heavenly SUN radiance of your light. Come, father of the poor, come, SUN giver of gifts, come, light of the heart. Greatest SUN comforter, sweet guest of the soul, sweet consolation.’ SUN SUN An anthem based on this prayer has been specially SUN commissioned by the citizens of this village in order to SUN celebrate this 800th anniversary of Magna Carta. It’s SUN composed by Malcolm Archer, Director of Chapel music at SUN Winchester College. During this, The Rev’d Peter Dyson will SUN lead us in prayers recorded in the ruins of King John’s SUN Castle here in Odiham. SUN SUN CHOIR: Veni, Sancte Spiritus (Malcolm Archer) c.6:00 SUN PRE-REC (STARTING HALF WAY THROUGH THE ANTHEM…) SUN [Prayers led by Peter Dyson - pre-recorded in the ruins of SUN Odiham Castle] SUN PRAYERS SUN In: “Come, Holy Spirit, grant us in labour ……..” SUN Out: “…In your mercy, hear our prayers, now and always.” SUN SUN Dur: SUN SUN Come, Holy Spirit, grant us in labour, rest, in heat, SUN temperance, in tears, solace. O most blessed light, fill SUN the inmost hearts of your faithful. Amen. SUN SUN O God our creator, whose good earth is entrusted to our care SUN and delight and tenderness, we pray: may those who sow in SUN tears reap with shouts of joy. SUN For all who are in captivity to debt, whose lives are SUN cramped by fear from which there is no turning except SUN through abundant harvest. For all who labour in poverty, who SUN are oppressed by unjust laws, who are silenced for speaking SUN the truth, who long for a harvest of justice. And we pray SUN for those in many parts of the world, who are imprisoned SUN without trial or redress. SUN SUN For all who are in captivity to greed and waste and boredom, SUN whose harvest joy is choked with things they do not need. SUN Turn us again from our captivity and restore our vision that SUN our mouth may be filled with laughter and our tongue with SUN singing. SUN SUN Gracious God, SUN We pray for peace in our communities this day. SUN We commit to you all who work for peace and an end to SUN tensions, SUN For calm in our streets and cities, SUN That people may go about their lives in safety and peace. SUN We commit to you those who work to uphold law and justice. SUN We pray for an end to fear, SUN For comfort and support to those who suffer, especially the SUN sick and the dying. SUN In your mercy, hear our prayers, SUN now and always. SUN [??ALL: Amen??] SUN SUN ALISON: SUN SUN SUN SUN We sum up all our prayers as Jesus Christ himself has taught SUN us: 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, the power and the glory, for ever and SUN ever. Amen. SUN SUN THE BLESSING SUN ALISON: SUN Go forth into the world in peace; be of good courage; hold SUN fast that which is good; render to no one evil for evil; SUN strengthen the fainthearted; support the weak; help the SUN afflicted; honour everyone; love and serve the Lord, SUN rejoicing in the power of the Holy Spirit; and the blessing SUN of God almighty, the Father; the Son, and the Holy Spirit, SUN be among you and remain with you always. SUN ALL: Amen. SUN SUN The words of our final hymn ‘How shall we sing salvation’s SUN song’, were written by Bishop Timothy Dudley-Smith and set SUN to music by a former Bristol Cathedral Chorister, David SUN Manners. Both were inspired to remind us of the Christian SUN duty to uphold those rights, liberties and freedoms that SUN even today form the basis of our Laws and protect two SUN billion people across the English-speaking and Common Law SUN world from tyranny… SUN HYMN How shall we sing salvation’s song c.3:15 SUN ORGAN VOLUNTARY: Prelude in E flat – JS Bach c.1’00” SUN SUN SUN 08:48 A Point of View b05xqg4m (Listen) SUN AL Kennedy: The Worth of Education SUN SUN "A school's core strength is that it's a school" writes AL SUN Kennedy.

SUN SUN A new series in which poets adapt their own poems into short SUN stories. 'A Potion' springs from Jacob Polley's poem 'The SUN Remedy', from his 2003 collection 'The Brink'. SUN SUN Jacob Polley is the author of three books of poetry, 'The SUN Brink', 'Little Gods' and, most recently, 'The Havocs', as SUN well as a novel, 'Talk of the Town'. SUN SUN Written by Jacob Polley SUN Read by Bryan Dick SUN Produced by Mair Bosworth. SUN SUN About the Author SUN SUN Jacob Polley is the author of three books of poetry, *The SUN Brink*, *Little Gods* and, most recently, *The Havocs*, as SUN well as a novel, *Talk of the Town*. SUN On Adapting Poem into Prose SUN SUN "I thought it was an intriguing idea to write a story based SUN on a poem. I think of most poems as little stages, so to SUN write ‘A Potion’, I had to discover what might be going on SUN offstage, outside ‘The Remedy’, which was the poem I chose SUN to adapt. Is adapt the right word? Maybe not, as what SUN happens in ‘A Potion’ isn’t what happens in ‘The Remedy’, SUN and I’d now rather think about the poem and the story as two SUN completely different pieces of work, despite the things – SUN like nettles – they share. I never write with a plan, so I SUN only felt the story come to life when I found Gracey and SUN Robert, and the story is theirs." SUN SUN The Poem SUN The Remedy SUN SUN Sprigs of unspoken nettle SUN SUN nipped from their new green stems SUN SUN at midnight, the moon engrossed, SUN SUN the sky blue as a brandy-flame. SUN SUN Boiled, mashed with oats SUN SUN and boiled again - SUN SUN the goose-grey first light firing the curtains SUN SUN and the lamps beginning to wilt. SUN SUN Taken upstairs to the sick man, SUN SUN who's lain so long undiagnosed SUN SUN his kicked-off leather boots SUN SUN lie broken like moulds, SUN SUN and put to his lips: the strength to name SUN SUN his affliction, spoon by awkward spoon.

We're looking at the street value SUN of drugs: when police claim that they've confiscated SUN hundreds of millions of pounds worth of narcotics, where do SUN those numbers come from? And how has the dark internet SUN changed drug prices? SUN We'll also be looking at claims that those of us who aren't SUN binging on drugs are binging on biscuits instead. Apparently SUN much of the UK and almost the entire population of Ireland SUN is going to be obese before long. But how have such alarming SUN forecasts fared in the past? SUN We're often told that we consume so much that we need one SUN and a half planets - and not just to provide room for all SUN those obese people. What does that number even mean, and is SUN it helpful? SUN And Richard Thaler, the co-author of "Nudge", joins us to SUN talk about the psychology of risk.

MON MON 20:30 Analysis b05xxc08 (Listen) MON Making Invisibles Visible MON MON The UK is the world's second largest exporter of services - MON and has been for some time. The surplus generated by these MON "invisibles" - everything from banking to public relations MON to whizzy new phone apps - helps balance the country's MON stubbornly high deficit in "visibles" or things. MON MON Yet politicians talk continually about the need to rebalance MON the economy away from services. Linda Yueh finds this MON puzzling. As with other advanced economies, services MON comprise a very large proportion of our output - around MON three-quarters of the economy - and yet we spend a great MON deal of time worrying about a far smaller and long declining MON part of it: manufacturing. MON MON It is understandable to want to reduce our deficit in goods, MON says Linda. But while we try to do that, she argues, we MON should also try to understand more about the reasons for our MON success in services - and how to maintain and augment it. In MON this edition of "Analysis", she finds out why it is MON difficult to make invisibles visible and why it is important MON for our future growth and wealth that we do. MON MON Along the way, she discovers how innovation in services is MON distinctive, why services firms invest heavily in their MON staff and why the popular enthusiasm for bashing bankers is MON misguided. We have to start loving the people we hate, Linda MON argues. And by making the invisible sector more visible, she MON says, we can make that process easier and more credible.

MON MON We find it impossible to speak about sharks without using MON emotive language: seas are "infested," sharks "menace" they MON "cruise around looking for a victim, they "invade" our MON swimming beaches etc. Crooks are "loan sharks." MON MON In Hawaiian culture they are often seen as protectors or MON brave fighters in battle. MON MON We have a difficult relationship with sharks. We have traded MON their teeth and eaten their fins, so much so that millions MON are now killed annually for this delicacy for the MON aristocracy. Damien Hurst has tried to capture the fear of MON the shark in his famous tank, allowing the viewer to stand MON next to an open mouth without being in danger. We will MON always be challenged by this supreme predator, if we allow MON it to survive in the wild.

Delicate, colourful yet TUE exquisitely fragile we have painted and eulogised the TUE butterfly from time immemorial. TUE TUE A "butterfly mind" skips from subject to subject... they are TUE modern metaphors for the trivial and light-hearted. Yet we TUE forget that at times some butterflies have been used as TUE menacing creatures. TUE TUE Their eye-spots, used to deter predators, were interpreted TUE as eyes watching you from hedgerow and meadow to make sure TUE no lewd behaviour happened in the fields. The deep, blood TUE red colour of the red admiral was seen as a sign of Christ's TUE crucifixion and therefore a symbol of suffering a death. TUE TUE The butterfly metamorphoses between body forms, reminding us TUE that our earthly body will one day be transformed. TUE TUE Butterflies have also been the subject of overwhelming TUE passion. Intense, obsessive collectors have chased them over TUE every continent, even shooting them from the skies with guns TUE and then trembling with overwhelming excitement as they put TUE a blackened, torn creature into their displays. They are TUE souls of the dead flying to heaven or an inspiration for TUE fashion designers, or a symbol of death. Few creatures have TUE had so much laid on their delicate shoulders. TUE TUE Today, butterflies are symbols of freedom and harmony with TUE nature, the poster insects for a utopia where people and TUE nature are at one. TUE TUE 11:30 Minimal Impact b05xxhw6 (Listen) TUE Jesus' Blood and Fluffy Clouds TUE TUE The story of the musical aesthetic and the ubiquitous TUE technique of minimalism. TUE TUE Fifty years since the emergence of a challenging new 'art TUE school' attitude to musical composition emerged in the TUE United States - in the work of Terry Riley, Steve Reich and TUE others - various techniques associated with 'minimalism' TUE have been absorbed into every aspect of modern musical life, TUE from the pop industry and dance scene, to film scores and TUE religious music, as well as contemporary concert music. TUE TUE In this second episode, British composers trace how the TUE minimalist aesthetic has informed music as diverse as John TUE Tavener's Song for Athene and The Orb's Little Fluffy TUE Clouds. Contributors include Gavin Bryars, composer of the TUE iconic Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet, film and dance TUE composer Jocelyn Pook, Indian percussion player and composer TUE Talvin Singh, Alex Paterson of The Orb and the most minimal TUE of English composers Laurence Crane.

TUE He wanted to know everything about his growing empire and, TUE despite the revolution, crowned himself as Emperor to rule TUE over it. TUE TUE Historian Andrew Roberts challenges this bald account of TUE events. He presents Napoleon as a ruler who rescued France TUE from its post-revolutionary chaos, whose sense of order and TUE efficiency was welcomed by his countrymen. TUE TUE Roberts also argues that Napoleon was not interested in TUE interfering in the lives of his subjects and that he broke TUE with tradition by rewarding people of merit and talent - TUE regardless of their class.

FRI FRI Wildlife Sound Recordist, Chris Watson, presents the FRI Goldcrest. Goldcrests are, by a whisker, our smallest bird - FRI roughly nine centimetres long and the weight of a ten pence FRI coin. They migrate in October and November from Continental FRI Europe and some people used to believe that because they FRI arrived around the same time as wintering woodcock they'd FRI travelled on the waders' backs and the tiny goldcrest became FRI known as the 'woodcock pilot'.

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

In emergency situations it can FRI be easily overloaded with information or be unable to FRI override social rules of hierarchy and deference. This can FRI have disastrous consequences, particularly in scenarios like FRI aeroplane failures or surgical emergencies. On June 1st 2009 FRI all passengers were killed when Air France flight 447 fell FRI out of the sky. Transcripts of the pilots' conversations FRI reveal the tragic truth that the crash was caused by FRI deference, lack of cooperation and the captain not taking FRI control of a near disastrous situation. Claudia Hammond FRI investigates how years of research in aviation psychology FRI have made events like that a rarity and have given rise to FRI huge improvements in understanding human behaviour and how FRI mistakes are made so deathly disasters can be prevented. The FRI world of aviation has embraced so called 'just culture' FRI where reporting errors and near misses are encouraged to FRI prevent a similar mistake turning into a disaster in the FRI future. But what has medicine learned from aviation FRI psychology and how close is it to a similar just culture? FRI Surgical check lists have been introduced to try and prevent FRI errors like operating on the wrong limb and making sure FRI teams communicate with one another. But how effective are FRI they and could surgery learn more form aviation about the FRI psychology of safety? FRI FRI 11:30 Gloomsbury b05y16mx (Listen) FRI Series 3, Women in Love and Men in Disgrace FRI FRI Ginny Fox has planned a trip with Vera Sackcloth-Vest to see FRI her sister, Nesta Bell, at Charlatan House in Sussex, so FRI that Nesta can paint Vera's portrait. FRI FRI Lionel disapproves of the Bohemian lifestyle of Nesta and FRI her husband Cliff and goes off to spend the weekend with FRI Henry at Sizzlinghurst. Cliff is a rogue who spends half of FRI his time away from the house living with his lover, Mrs FRI Hutchinson. Nesta only tolerates Cliff's dalliance because FRI there's another man living at Charlatan with whom she's FRI really in love - Duncan Grunt. Unfortunately for Nesta, FRI Duncan only has eyes for his homosexual lover, who also FRI lives in the house, and whose name is Flopsy. And to top it FRI all, Nesta's two children run up and down the garden without FRI any clothes on. FRI FRI When Ginny and Vera turn up at Charlatan House, Nesta makes FRI an improper suggestion when she asks if she can paint Vera FRI in the nude. Vera is shocked and wants to leave. Unable to FRI share Vera with her sister, Ginny storms out too, and she FRI and Vera return to Sizzlinghurst, where their mood is not FRI lightened by the discovery of Henry and Lionel wrestling FRI naked in front of the library fire as research for DH FRI Lollipop's new book.

Exiled to St Helena, FRI where it was hoped by the British that he would be FRI forgotten, he in fact remained - and remains - a figure of FRI fascination. FRI FRI For Europeans, he is still the author of civil reforms that FRI underpin laws today. In France, his schools, architecture FRI and infrastructure are a constant reminder of his rule. FRI FRI Opinion is of course divided. Those on the right in France FRI tend to admire Napoleon as a strong Enlightenment leader; FRI those on the left stress his warlike and tyrannical side.

Within thirty seconds FRI any pretence was always unnecessary. A hideous ecstasy of FRI fear and vindictiveness, a desire to kill, to torture, to FRI smash faces in with a sledgehammer, seemed to flow through FRI the whole group of people like an electric current, turning FRI one even against one's will into a grimacing, screaming FRI lunatic" George Orwell, 1984 FRI FRI It isn't just the rich and famous who get super-injunctions. FRI A small number of people in Britain, mostly on legal aid, FRI have much more to lose from tabloid exposure than an FRI expensive divorce. FRI FRI This drama imagines what it is like to be the most hated FRI woman in Britain - fearing the mob and the forces that will FRI lead them to you. Two Minutes Hate explores the fault line FRI between the public interest and the interest of the public. FRI FRI The protagonist is a young woman whose partner murdered a FRI child. She didn't believe he could do such a thing, which is FRI why she gave him an alibi. FRI FRI She is of course inspired by the real life Maxine Carr, FRI girlfriend of Ian Huntley, the Soham murderer. As one FRI broadsheet observed: "It is - and will remain - Carr's FRI particular bad luck to have come to public attention at FRI roughly the same time as Myra Hindley died: there was a FRI gaping Hindley-shaped hole in the tabloids Two Minutes' hate FRI slot, and they have simply used her to plug it".
