Grace, to look for the man beneath the SAT austere Victorian veneer. SAT SAT It's been one hundred years since Grace died, but he still SAT looms over the sport of cricket like no other player. He was SAT arguably the most famous man of the late Victorian era, a SAT true celebrity with an appeal that spanned the class system SAT and reached across the British Empire. SAT SAT Charlie Connelly comes across W.G. Grace in the last years SAT of the great batsman's life, as his sporting career ends and SAT his form begins to fade. Faced with great personal SAT tragedies, and distressed by the slaughter of the First SAT World War, Grace emerges as a complex and troubled man, a SAT long way from the stoical buttoned up Victorian that is so SAT often portrayed.

Staring SAT James McAvoy. SAT SAT It's the 1890s and Mr Kurtz, one of the senior agents of an SAT Ivory trading company, has disappeared. SAT Marlow, a skipper, is hired to take a steamship up the Congo SAT River to find him. But the further he and the other company SAT men travel up river, the greater the sense of impending SAT danger, and the more disturbing the rumours that begin to SAT circulate about Kurtz. SAT SAT But truth is more terrifying than any of them imagined. SAT SAT Heart of Darkness is part of Unmade Movies, a season of SAT radio adaptations of unproduced screenplays by the major SAT authors of the 20th century - including Harold Pinter, SAT Arthur Miller, Orson Welles, Alfred Hitchcock and Ernest SAT Lehman. SAT SAT Orson Welles wrote this screenplay in 1939, with the SAT intention of directing and starring as both Marlow and SAT Kurtz. After founding the Mercury Theatre in 1937, his SAT celebrated production of Julius Caesar and his radio SAT adaption of The War of The Worlds established him as a major SAT talent. RKO Pictures then signed a deal with him to produce SAT his first feature film. Welles intended this to be Heart of SAT Darkness but the script proved to be too audacious for them SAT - and his second script, Citizen Kane, was greenlit instead.

SAT SAT The Listening Project is a Radio 4 initiative that offers a SAT snapshot of contemporary Britain in which people across the SAT UK volunteer to have a conversation with someone close to SAT them about a subject they've never discussed intimately SAT before. The conversations are being gathered across the UK SAT by teams of producers from local and national radio stations SAT who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're SAT not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - SAT lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key SAT moment of connection between the participants. Most of the SAT unedited conversations are being archived by the British SAT Library and used to build up a collection of voices SAT capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade SAT of the millennium.

SAT SAT 20:00 Archive on 4 b06k9d2b (Listen) SAT The Future of the BBC: A History SAT SAT In advance of a special Media Show debate on the future of SAT the BBC, Steve Hewlett explores the troubled past behind SAT today's dilemmas - and traces them back to the Corporation's SAT origins in the distant world of the 1920s. SAT SAT He explores how the BBC was forged in the paternalist SAT culture of interwar Britain. And how its first SAT Director-General, the forbidding six-foot-six titan John SAT Reith, carved it into the form it still has today: a public SAT corporation. Reith's new British Broadcasting Corporation SAT was not part of the government, but nor was it a commercial SAT company. It occupied a public space somewhere in between. SAT SAT Reith's model was all very well in an age of deference, when SAT the BBC had the airwaves to itself. It even managed, after SAT initial hostility, to come to terms with competition, in the SAT shape of ITV. SAT SAT But Steve explores how Reith's interwar Leviathan has fared SAT since the 1970s, as it's been buffetted by hurricanes of SAT change: the death of deference, the pressures of high SAT inflation and political strife, and the tech-driven birth of SAT a highly competitive global media market. SAT SAT What does the BBC's past tell us about its capacity to SAT survive and thrive in this brave new world, and how it might SAT need to change?

SAT SAT 21:00 Drama b06j0wfc (Listen) SAT Reading Europe - Poland: Entanglement, Antigone in Warsaw SAT SAT Radio 4 continues its journey across Europe exploring the SAT best contemporary literature. In this hugely successful SAT Polish crime thriller, a long suffering State Prosecutor SAT finds himself trapped in a posst-Communist limbo land of SAT half-truths and secrets. Will he prove himself to be a SAT redoubtable seeker of the truth or will he compromise? A SAT perplexing murder reveals tantalising glimpses of links to SAT the old regime. SAT SAT Part 2: Antigone in Warsaw SAT Szacki struggles with his burgeoning feelings for attractive SAT journalist Monika Grzelka and the increasingly complex SAT background of the murder victim. The final clues fall into SAT place when he stages his own Family Constellation Therapy SAT session with all the suspects. SAT SAT The writer Zygmunt Miloszewski is a leading Polish writer. SAT The Teodor Szacki series is a best seller in Poland. Antonia SAT Lloyd Jones is an award winning translator of Polish fiction SAT and chair of the Translators Association. Dramatised for SAT radio by the writer, critic and journalist, Mark Lawson. SAT SAT About Reading Europe: SAT Europe is central to our lives - we go on holiday to Europe, SAT we do business in Europe, we watch in amazement as the SAT various states try to grapple with migration in Europe. Over SAT the next year or so we will be engaged in the debate as to SAT whether or not we stay in Europe. But how much do we know SAT this continent's countries and, in particular, how much do SAT we know about what they're reading? SAT SAT Over the course of two years, Reading Europe will travel SAT from Calais to Istanbul. Through dramatisations, readings SAT and essays, Reading Europe and Front Row will explore what SAT Europe is writing, publishing and reading - and why.

SAT SAT 22:15 Moral Maze b06j5bjl (Listen) SAT Turning a Blind Eye and the Law SAT SAT If you're the kind of person who likes to smoke a joint and SAT chat on your mobile while out for a relaxing Sunday SAT afternoon drive it seems you're in luck. According to SAT figures released this week it seems that the police are SAT increasingly turning a blind eye to these offences and when SAT it comes to enforcing the new law banning smoking in cars SAT where there are children, the police have said it's not SAT their job. If the purpose of the law is to protect public SAT health and safety, and to set moral boundaries, can it ever SAT be morally acceptable to ignore law breaking? Should the law SAT be about defining what is right and wrong, good and bad in SAT all circumstances? Or is it acceptable for a law to be a SAT moral symbol of disapproval, with no real threat of SAT enforcement? And if the police don't have a moral duty to SAT enforce the law, what about us as citizens? From this week SAT landlords will be breaking the law if they don't check their SAT tenants have a right to live in the UK and teachers now have SAT a legal duty to tackle extremism. In both cases it's no SAT longer enough to define a good upright citizen as one who SAT doesn't break the law; it's now about having a legal duty to SAT enforce it too. The Moral Maze and the letter of the SAT law.Combative, provocative and engaging debate chaired by SAT Michael Buerk, with Giles Fraser, Michael Portillo, Claire SAT Fox and Melanie Phillips.

SUN SUN 00:30 Feminine Mystiques b037jn8q (Listen) SUN Mink SUN SUN By Marina Warner SUN Read by Emma Fielding SUN SUN Fifty years since the first publication of Betty Friedan's SUN seminal feminist work The Feminine Mystique, Radio 4 has SUN commissioned three leading writers to celebrate her SUN influence in new short stories exploring the contemporary SUN feminist landscape. SUN SUN Emma Fielding reads the first story in this series, by award SUN winning writer and mythographer Marina Warner. Just as some SUN of Angela Carter's short stories from The Bloody Chamber SUN were first published in high fashion magazine Vogue, and SUN Carter's retelling of fable and myth turned on the original SUN meaning of 'glamour' as a spell, Marina Warner explores SUN feminine mystique through a housewife in the 1950s who SUN weaves hope and freedom into her longing for a mink coat. SUN SUN Marina Warner has written novels, short stories and SUN non-fiction centering around women and the imagery and SUN iconography they conjure for more than thirty years. SUN SUN The other writers in the series are British-Sierra Leonean SUN novelist Aminatta Forna, winner of the Commonwealth Writers SUN Prize and judge of the Man Booker International Prize, with SUN a surreal and wryly humourous contemporary story read by SUN Doon MacKichan, and Sarah Hall, one of Granta's Best Young SUN British Novelists 2013, who brings us a story set in a SUN dystopian near future, read by Francesca Dymond.

SUN SUN They begin their exploration by considering where our desire SUN for wealth and status comes from, and whether it was ever SUN thus. But the discussion broadens to explore our discontent SUN with other aspects of life, such as sufficiency of time, SUN work, space, looks, faith and love. SUN SUN They end with Bach's beautiful Cantata Ich habe genug. This SUN translates: It is enough or I am content. The piece is about SUN the very elderly man Simeon at last seeing the baby Jesus SUN when he was brought to the temple. He says: SUN SUN It is enough. SUN I have held the Saviour, the hope of all peoples, SUN In the warm embrace of my arms. SUN It is enough.

It was SUN the musicians and clergy of the Chapel Royal who accompanied SUN King Henry the Fifth to the battlefield. Later immortalised SUN by Shakespeare, Olivier and Branagh, the English knights and SUN longbowmen were King Henry V's 'Band of Brothers' who fought SUN 'upon St Crispin's Day': 25th October, 1415. Though the SUN English are believed to have been outnumbered by as many as SUN 6 to 1, Henry won the day, the French king's daughter, and SUN their son's right to be heir to the throne of France.

The service is led by the SUN Sub-Dean the Revd. Canon Paul Wright and begins with the SUN anthem Holy is the True Light by William Harris. SUN SUN SUN SUN Introit - Holy is the true light - Harris SUN SUN WELCOME – CANON PAUL WRIGHT SUN SUN "Welcome to this service of Choral Mattins from the Chapel SUN Royal at St James's Palace. We are gathered here today on SUN this St Crispin's Day to commemorate the 600th Anniversary SUN of the Battle of Agincourt – one of the great moments in the SUN Nation's story. The Chapel Royal participated in the SUN campaign and battle of Agincourt and in our service today we SUN remember those Priests, Gentlemen, Children and Vestry-men SUN who travelled to France with King Henry 5th, and we pray for SUN our most gracious sovereign Lady, Queen Elizabeth, and for SUN the peace of the world" SUN SUN We begin with the hymn Sing my Tongue the Glorious Battle to SUN plainchant tune which would have been known at the time of SUN the Battle of Agincourt. SUN SUN HYMN Sing my tongue the glorious battle NEH 78 SUN Matins is a service of morning prayer that stems from an SUN ancient monastic tradition and is still celebrated today in SUN churches around the world. The Anglican form we hear today SUN consists of a number of Psalms, canticles, scripture, SUN responses and prayers. SUN SUN Much of our music today comes from musicians associated with SUN the Chapel Royal. Our responses are by Thomas Tomkins. He SUN was possibly a chorister at the Chapel Royal and in 1621 he SUN became a Gentleman Ordinary of the Chapel Royal and organist SUN under his friend and senior organist, Orlando Gibbons. SUN SUN RESPONSES SUN SUN Priest. O Lord, open thou our lips. SUN Answer. And our mouth shall shew forth thy praise. SUN Priest. O God, make speed to save us. SUN Answer. O Lord, make haste to help us. SUN SUN Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy SUN Ghost; SUN Answer. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall SUN be, world without end. Amen. SUN Priest. Praise ye the Lord. SUN Answer. The Lord's Name be praised. SUN SUN SPEECH SUN SUN "The choir sing Psalm 115, Non nobis Domine' – the Psalm SUN which was sung at the Battle of Agincourt by the Chapel SUN Royal" SUN SUN NOT unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto thy Name give the SUN praise; * for thy loving mercy, and for thy truth’s sake. SUN 2 Wherefore shall the heathen say, * Where is now their SUN God? SUN 3 As for our God, he is in heaven: * he hath done SUN whatsoever pleased him. SUN 4 Their idols are silver and gold, * even the work of SUN men’s hands. SUN 5 They have mouths, and speak not; * eyes have they, and SUN see not. SUN 6 They have ears, and hear not; * noses have they, and SUN smell not. SUN 7 They have hands, and handle not; feet have they, and SUN walk not; * neither speak they through their throat. SUN 8 They that make them are like unto them; * and so are SUN all such as put their trust in them. SUN 9 But thou, house of Israel, trust thou in the LORD; * SUN he is their helper and defender. SUN 10 Ye house of Aaron, put your trust in the LORD; * he SUN is their helper and defender. SUN 11 Ye that fear the LORD, put your trust in the LORD; * SUN he is their helper and defender. SUN 12 The LORD hath been mindful of us, and he shall bless SUN us; * even he shall bless the house of Israel, he shall SUN bless the house of Aaron. SUN 13 He shall bless them that fear the LORD, * both small SUN and great. SUN 14 The LORD shall increase you more and more, * you and SUN your children. SUN 15 Ye are the blessed of the LORD, * who made heaven and SUN earth. SUN 16 All the whole heavens are the LORD’S; * the earth SUN hath he given to the children of men. SUN 17 The dead praise not thee, O LORD, * neither all they SUN that go down into silence. SUN 18 But we will praise the LORD, * from this time forth SUN for evermore. Praise the LORD. SUN READING SUN SUN Here begins the 32nd verse of the 11 Chapter of the Epistle SUN to the Hebrews SUN SUN And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to SUN tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of SUN Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets: SUN who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, SUN obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched SUN the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of SUN weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to SUN flight the armies of the aliens. Women received their dead SUN raised to life again: and others were tortured, not SUN accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better SUN resurrection: and others had trial of cruel mockings and SUN scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment: they SUN were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were SUN slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and SUN goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented; (of whom SUN the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in SUN mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. And these SUN all, having obtained a good report through faith, received SUN not the promise: God having provided some better thing for SUN us, that they without us should not be made perfect. SUN Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a SUN cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the SUN sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with SUN patience the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus SUN the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that SUN was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, SUN and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. SUN SUN One of the elements of Choral Matins is the Te Deum – a SUN morning prayer of praise. We also know that the Gentlemen SUN and Boys of the Chapel Royal sung a Te Deum during their SUN Service of Matins on the Battlefield at Agincourt. The choir SUN now continue this age old tradition with Vaughan Williams’ SUN setting of the Te Deum in G. SUN SUN Te Deum in G by Vaughan Williams SUN READING SUN SUN Here begins the 24 verse of the 16th Chapter of the Gospel SUN according to St Matthew SUN Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come SUN after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and SUN follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: SUN and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. SUN For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole SUN world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in SUN exchange for his soul? For the Son of man shall come in the SUN glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall SUN reward every man according to his works SUN SUN We now sing the hymn Let all Mortal Flesh Keep Silence to SUN the French tune Picardy. SUN SUN HYMN Let all mortal flesh keep silence NEH 295 SUN SUN THE CREED SUN SUN I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and SUN earth: SUN And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, Who was conceived SUN by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under SUN Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried: He SUN descended into hell; The third day he rose again from the SUN dead; He ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand SUN of God the Father Almighty; From thence he shall come to SUN judge the quick and the dead. SUN I believe in the Holy Ghost; The holy Catholick Church; The SUN Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The SUN Resurrection of the body, And the Life everlasting. Amen. SUN SUN Minister. The Lord be with you. SUN Answer. And with thy spirit. SUN Minister. Let us pray. SUN Lord, have mercy upon us. SUN Answer. Christ, have mercy upon us. SUN Lord, have mercy upon us. SUN SUN The Lord's Prayer SUN SUN Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name, Thy SUN kingdom come, Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven. SUN Give us this day our daily bread; And forgive us our SUN trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us; And SUN lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. Amen. SUN Priest. O Lord, shew thy mercy upon us. SUN Answer. And grant us thy salvation. SUN Priest. O Lord, save the Queen. SUN Answer. And mercifully hear us when we call upon thee. SUN Priest. Endue thy Ministers with righteousness. SUN Answer. And make thy chosen people joyful. SUN Priest. O Lord, save thy people. SUN Answer. And bless thine inheritance. SUN Priest. Give peace in our time, O Lord. SUN Answer. Because there is none other that fighteth for us, SUN but only thou, O God. SUN Priest. O God, make clean our hearts within us. SUN Answer. And take not thy Holy Spirit from us. SUN SUN Almighty God, by whose grace and power thy holy martyrs SUN Crispin and Crispinius, triumphed over suffering, and SUN despised death: Grant we beseech thee, that enduring SUN hardness, and waxing valiant in fight, we may with the noble SUN army of martyrs receive the crown of everlasting life; SUN through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. SUN SUN O God, who art the author of peace and lover of concord, in SUN knowledge of whom standeth our eternal life, whose service SUN is perfect freedom: Defend us thy humble servants in all SUN assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in thy SUN defence, may not fear the power of any adversaries; through SUN the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. SUN SUN O Lord, our heavenly Father, Almighty and everlasting God, SUN who hast safely brought us to the beginning of this day: SUN Defend us in the same with thy mighty power; and grant that SUN this day we fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of SUN danger; but that all our doings may be ordered by thy SUN governance, to do always that is righteous in thy sight; SUN through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. SUN A cry for mercy is not uncommon on the battlefield. The SUN anthem is such a cry for mercy. The Kyrie from the Mass for SUN Four Voices, by William Byrd, one of the most famous of SUN English church musicians who became a Gentleman of the SUN Chapel Royal in 1572. SUN Anthem Byrd's Kyrie from the Mass for Four Voices. SUN (Did we want the kyrie interspersed between the prayers or SUN did we change our minds on this?) SUN SUN The Prayers SUN SUN O Lord, our heavenly Father, high and mighty, King of kings, SUN Lord of lords, the only Ruler of princes, who dost from thy SUN throne behold all the dwellers upon earth: Most heartily we SUN beseech thee with thy favour to behold our most gracious SUN Sovereign Lady, Queen ELIZABETH; and so replenish her with SUN the grace of thy Holy Spirit, that she may alway incline to SUN thy will, and walk in thy way. Endue her plenteously with SUN heavenly gifts; grant her in health and wealth long to live; SUN strengthen her that she may vanquish and overcome all her SUN enemies; and finally after this life she may attain SUN everlasting joy and felicity; through Jesus Christ our Lord. SUN Amen. SUN SUN Almighty God, the fountain of all goodness, we humbly SUN beseech thee to bless Philip Duke of Edinburgh, Charles SUN Prince of Wales, and all the Royal Family: Endue them with SUN thy Holy Spirit; enrich them with thy heavenly grace; SUN prosper them with all happiness; and bring them to thine SUN everlasting kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. SUN SUN Almighty and everlasting God, who alone workest great SUN marvels: Send down upon our Bishops, and Curates, and all SUN Congregations committed to their charge, the healthful SUN Spirit of thy grace; and that they may truly please thee, SUN pour upon them the continual dew of thy blessing. Grant SUN this, O Lord, for the honour of our Advocate and Mediator, SUN Jesus Christ. Amen. SUN SUN Almighty God, who hast given us grace at this time with one SUN accord to make our common supplications unto thee; and dost SUN promise that when two or three are gathered together in thy SUN Name thou wilt grant their requests: Fulfil now, O Lord, the SUN desires and petitions of thy servants, as may be most SUN expedient for them; granting us in this world knowledge of SUN thy truth, and in the world to come life everlasting. Amen. SUN The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and SUN the fellowship of the Holy Ghost, be with us all evermore. SUN Amen. SUN SUN The choirs now sings 'The Agincourt Carol' – which begins SUN with words: SUN SUN "Our King went forth to Normandy, with grace and might of SUN Chivalry' SUN SUN Agincourt Carol SUN SUN SUN SUN The Homily SUN SUN “This day is called the feast of Crispian: SUN He that outlives this day and comes safe home, SUN Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named, SUN And rouse him at the name of Crispian. SUN SUN We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; SUN For he to-day that sheds his blood with me SUN Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile SUN SUN This day shall gentle his condition: SUN And gentlemen in England, now a-bed SUN Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, SUN And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks SUN That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.” SUN SUN The rousing words of King Henry V in Shakespeare’s play that SUN bears his name and today we commemorate those two Roman SUN martyrs who will be forever associated with the stirring SUN story of the Battle of Agincourt. SUN SUN And indeed the battle of Agincourt was a miracle against all SUN the odds – a day of days; SUN SUN but lost in the beauty and triumph of Shakespeare - is the SUN grim reality of that day. SUN SUN As St Crispin's day dawned, The King’s army, retiring after SUN the long siege of Honfleur, ravaged by dysentery, was facing SUN a powerful and resolute foe. The English army numbered SUN between 6 – 9000 men; the French army was possibly over SUN 30,000 strong. Whatever the true number, Henry's army was SUN at a great disadvantage and needed a miracle. SUN SUN Henry did, however, have the best battle winning weapon of SUN the day – the English longbow man. As the battle began in SUN earnest the two armies had probably advanced to within 250 SUN yards of each other. The storm of arrows, that is said to SUN have blackened the sky, was one of the key elements in the SUN initial French setback. This onslaught of arrows was SUN described by a French knight as a hailstorm - with many SUN thousands of arrows being fired per minute as the French SUN army closed. SUN SUN The battle then turned into a muddy and grim killing match SUN on a narrow ground – with much horror. One of the most SUN telling accounts of the battle came from a Chaplain of the SUN Chapel Royal, the ' Gesta Henrici Quinti'. The heavily SUN armoured French men-at-arms were no match on the muddy SUN ground for the English archers, who set amongst them with SUN daggers, and hammers and short swords. A no doubt frightful SUN and frightening experience – and possibly all over in under SUN an hour? It is said that the King fought on foot – in the SUN midst of his men – and engaged in personal combat. SUN SUN And of course, as with all wars and battles – there was SUN controversy. The killing of the French prisoners of war was SUN an action that offended the conventions of the time. It SUN followed the looting of the Royal camp, and the reported SUN murder of the children of the Court – and Henry also feared SUN a counter attack from the remaining French forces. SUN SUN The Chapel Royal had sung Mass as the day dawned – legend SUN has it with the King in Surcoat and Crown. A captured SUN French Priest, Raul le Gay, had remarked on the beauty of SUN the Chapel’s singing during the siege of Honfleur - and no SUN doubt for the English soldiers this Mass was a moment to SUN ‘lift up their hearts’. Sursum Corda. The Chapel Royal was SUN there to support the King's Army, but also there to impress SUN both friends and enemies alike. SUN SUN As an Army Chaplain, I stood with soldiers before battle in SUN our own times, and I can relate to this experience. The SUN experience for soldiers on the eve of battle is this SUN SUN "now, my feet have reached the edge of the world" SUN SUN and what lies ahead is placed into God’s hands. Beautiful SUN moments and terrible and terrifying moments which are part SUN of a soldier's experience. During one very bad day in SUN Iraq, a young soldier asked me, quietly in the midst of a SUN small battle; 'can you please pray for Padre, because I am SUN very frightened.' The Chaplain, the Soldier of Solace, SUN remains the same today as in 1415. SUN SUN And today as we remember all this, the distant noise of SUN battle in the past; made glorious and triumphant by the SUN passage of time, so we reflect on the dreadful noise of war SUN in our own world. The truth of course being that the more SUN distant we are from a battle, the more glorious it appears! SUN SUN Then we are called to pray for the peace of the world, an SUN end to war and suffering, and the coming of Christ’s Kingdom SUN – that is not of this world. SUN SUN Later today the Chapel Royal will begin a pilgrimage to SUN Azincourt in France – so that we – the Clergy, Gentlemen, SUN Children and Vestry-men of today's Chapel can revisit the SUN place where our predecessors were participants in one of the SUN great moments in the nation's story. We shall sing 'Non SUN nobis Domine', and by doing so we shall look ahead with SUN confidence in our faith that has sustained this place, and SUN the Royal Household throughout the centuries – through days SUN of strife and days of joy. The Chapel Royal no longer goes SUN on military campaigns – but it still exists to be the SUN spiritual support of the Sovereign, and a daily religious SUN heartbeat within the Royal Household. SUN SUN As the Psalm on St Crispin's day read: SUN SUN "Ye that fear the LORD, put your trust in the LORD; * he is SUN their helper and defender" SUN SUN Amen SUN SUN We close with the hymn Forth in Thy Name, O Lord, I go to a SUN tune by another Chapel Royal Composer, Orlando Gibbons SUN SUN HYMN Forth in the name (Gibbons Tune) SUN The Blessing SUN SUN The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, keep your SUN hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of SUN his Son Jesus Christ our Lord: And the blessing of God SUN Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, be SUN amongst you and remain with you always. Amen. SUN SUN ORGAN SUN SUN 08:48 A Point of View b06j6byb (Listen) SUN Roger Scruton: In Defence of Free Speech SUN SUN A weekly reflection on a topical issue.

SUN Then male is a blackish looking bird with bright purple SUN eyes, whose plumage diffracts the light to produce an indigo SUN sheen with a metallic lustre. He builds a U-shaped bower of SUN sticks on the forest floor into which he hopes to lure a SUN female. But brown twigs on a brown woodland floor aren't SUN very eye-catching, so he jazzes up the scene with an array SUN of objects from berries and bottle-tops to clothes-pegs and SUN even ballpoint pens. All have one thing in common: they are SUN blue. The male dances around his bower to attract the SUN greenish females: often holding something blue to impress SUN her. As he poses, he calls enticingly to advertise his SUN prowess. Once she's made her choice, she will leave to build SUN her nest and rear her young alone.

SUN SUN 13:30 A Man's a Man for a' That: Frederick Douglass in SUN Scotland b06kb0g2 (Listen) SUN Opera singer Andrea Baker explores the impact of Frederick SUN Douglass and the time he spent in Scotland, the country SUN which she's made her home. As the great-granddaughter of SUN slaves, she's always been inspired by Douglass, who escaped SUN slavery to become an abolitionist and social reformer but, SUN until now, was unaware of the impact he'd had on Scotland SUN and vice versa. SUN SUN In this feature, which features Parker Sawyers as the voice SUN of Frederick Douglass, she discovers how Scotland got deep SUN into the veins of Frederick Douglass. When he visited in SUN 1846, he found an expression of freedom denied him in the SUN United States: "in (no) class of society, have I found any SUN curled lip of scorn ... on account of my complexion; not SUN once". He famously stated: "I would unite with anybody to do SUN right and with nobody to do wrong." Is it any wonder then, SUN that he felt a connection with the country that produced the SUN immortal poem 'A Man's a Man for A' That'? Indeed, SUN addressing a white audience at a Burns Supper two years SUN after his visit, Douglass said "if any think me out of my SUN place on this occasion (pointing at the picture of Burns), I SUN beg that the blame may be laid at the door of him who taught SUN me that 'a man's a man for a' that." SUN SUN It could be said that Douglass' influence on Scotland was SUN equally dramatic. He spearheaded the 'Send Back the Money' SUN campaign - what we'd now call a boycott movement aimed at SUN cutting respectable ties with the American South. The idea SUN was to shame the Free Church of Scotland into giving back SUN Southern donations that came from the blood of slaves. SUN Douglass lectured across Scotland - putting fire in the SUN belly of the Scottish anti-slavery movement at a time when SUN the cause was wilting elsewhere in Britain. Andrea Baker SUN investigates if the money was ever sent back. SUN SUN What was it about Scotland which so 'freed' Douglass? And SUN did the anti-racist sentiment he espoused seed later SUN Scottish campaigns against slavery and apartheid. SUN SUN 14:00 Gardeners' Question Time b06j67y2 (Listen) SUN South Yorkshire SUN SUN Eric Robson hosts the horticultural panel programme from SUN South Yorkshire. SUN SUN Matt Biggs, Christine Walkden and Pippa Greenwood answer SUN questions from the audience of local gardeners. SUN SUN This week the panel offers advice to gardeners cultivating SUN crops at 900ft, discuss planning a garden from scratch, and SUN reveals the best methods for using nematodes. SUN SUN Also, Matt Biggs presents a feature exploring the habits of SUN the Clematis, the UK's most popular climber. SUN SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN Questions and Answers SUN Q – What fruit can the garden recommend for a north-facing, SUN windswept, often snow-covered garden, 900ft (274m) above sea SUN level? SUN Matt SUN – You would need to provide a lot more protection for the SUN plant and the pollenating insects. I’d go for gooseberries SUN – they are tough. SUN Eric SUN – You could apple tree try cordons SUN Christine SUN – It’ll be a lot of effort! SUN Matt SUN – if the soil is acidic you could try cranberries or SUN Highbush blueberries SUN SUN SUN Q – I have a postage stamp-sized back garden in which I grow SUN veg organically and slugs are a problem. I’ve used SUN nematodes this year but they are quite pricey. Is there a SUN way of farming them, using them more than once or, if not, SUN when should I use my two applications to best effect? SUN Pippa SUN – Don’t put them on every six weeks as often suggested. SUN They do tick over in the soil to an extent. Most important SUN is to get them on when you’ve got seeds germinating, SUN seedlings, or young plants – and that is usually a tight SUN six-week window. For potatoes use the nematodes six weeks SUN before you predict harvesting. Farming them at home would SUN be too difficult to do. SUN SUN SUN Q – How would you improve our sandy soil garden, which is SUN millstone grit, at nearly 1000ft (305m)? Is it best to have SUN new topsoil or just keep adding things? If so, which things SUN should I add? SUN Christine SUN – I would stick with what you’ve got. Keep adding organic SUN matter. Ideally bulky organic matter, but the more the SUN merrier. Manure, stale manure, farm manure, composted SUN straw, finely composted bark or old grow bags. SUN Pippa SUN – I’d go for something sticky like pig manure. SUN Matt SUN – However, don’t put the organic matter too close to the SUN bases of shrubs and trees – they won’t like it. SUN Christine SUN – Green manures make a big difference too. It may take some SUN time though. SUN SUN SUN Q – We’ve moved into a house with a mature lawn but nothing SUN else. How can we get the bones of the garden right before SUN we move onto the pretty bits? It’s 40m x 20m (131ft x 66ft) SUN Matt SUN – Make a list of the things you want for example patio, SUN shed, place to hang washing, rose border, herbaceous border SUN etc. Then start looking at the shape and where the light SUN falls. Sketch out your ideas and then lay things out with SUN canes and string and hosepipes. And really make sure you’re SUN happy with the shape before you start planting. SUN Pippa SUN – Think about what you want to hide – such as next door’s SUN washing line. SUN Christine SUN – take photos throughout the year so you can spot frost SUN pockets, shadows etc. SUN SUN SUN Q – I’ve got an Acer and a Silver Birch – smallish SUN ornamental varieties – that are about 12 years old and SUN 2.5m-3m high (8ft-10ft). I’d like to move them – is this SUN possible and, if so, what kind of root ball would I need? SUN Christine SUN – For the birch you’d need to do it over a couple of years. SUN This year I’d take a out a trench about 2-3ft (0.6-0.9m) SUN away from the stem, about 18 inches (45cm) deep, all the way SUN round the stem. Fill that with good quality soil to SUN encourage the roots to grow into it. So next year you can SUN lift that root ball – you’ll need to use a block and tackle SUN as it is sizable. Once it’s replanted you need to really SUN water it – 20-30 gallons (90-135 litres) at a time. Acer is SUN a bit more of a risk but still doable. SUN SUN SUN Q – Please could you suggest an easy, effective, organic SUN method for powdery mildew? It has affected my Delphiniums SUN and has spread to my ‘Alan Titchmarsh’ rose. I have tried SUN the milk remedy but it hasn’t been effective. SUN Pippa SUN – Try and reduce it happening by ensure good, dry air SUN circulation at the top and keep the base nice and moist. SUN That will help. SUN SUN SUN Q – Fifteen years ago I bought a small orange tree which SUN thrives in my conservatory. Two years ago I was given a SUN lemon tree which is also doing well in the conservatory. SUN Last summer I discovered three full-sized lemons growing in SUN my orange tree. How has this happened? SUN Christine SUN – This looks like grafting to me. Fruit trees are often top SUN worked so the actual stem is taken up with one variety and SUN then other things worked onto that. SUN Matt SUN – It looks like *Ponciris trifoliata* – known as ‘Crown of SUN Thorns’ – and that’s the root stock.

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.

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

SUN SUN Edward Stourton examines the long-term prospects for the SUN British monarchy as an avowed republican becomes leader of SUN the opposition. At least eighty per cent of the population SUN affirm their belief in the institution, opinion polls SUN suggest - a figure that has remained remarkably constant SUN since the Queen, now the longest serving monarch, ascended SUN to the throne. But how can we be sure that this support and SUN the institutions that underpin the monarchy will remain by SUN the time her great-grandson becomes King? SUN SUN Within two or three generations the constitutional make-up SUN of Britain could look very different. Could the monarchy SUN withstand a series of upheavals such as the disestablishment SUN of the Church of England, Scottish independence, a weakening SUN of Britain's links with the Commonwealth and reform of the SUN House of Lords (along with the remnants of the hereditary SUN principle)? What if the institutional foundations on which SUN the monarchy rests change irrevocably or disappear SUN altogether? By the time Prince George is likely to become SUN King, in the latter half of this century, social attitudes SUN may have changed considerably. Is it safe to assume that the SUN monarchy will survive? And what will attitudes towards this SUN institution say about wider changes across British society? SUN SUN Producer: Peter Snowdon.

MON MON Liz Bonnin presents the North American black chinned MON hummingbird. What seems to be a large green beetle is flying MON erratically across a Los Angeles garden: suddenly, it hovers MON in mid-air to probe a flower bloom; this is a black-chinned MON hummingbird. Although often thought of as exclusively MON tropical, a few species of hummingbirds occur widely in MON North America and in the west; the Black-chinned hummingbird MON is the most widespread of all. Both sexes are glittering MON emerald above: the male's black throat is bordered with a MON flash of metallic purple, which catches the sun. MON Black-chinned "hummers" are minute, weighing in at just over MON 3 grams. But they are pugnacious featherweights seeing off MON rival males during intimidation flights with shrill squeals, MON whilst remarkably beating their wings around 80 times a MON second. They'll also readily come to artificial MON sugar-feeders put out by householders to attract these MON flying jewels to their gardens.

The Emperor had MON informers everywhere; no one was safe. One person who MON survived Domitian's purges was Pliny the Younger. Orphaned MON at an early age, Pliny was adopted and brought up by his MON famous uncle, the scientist Pliny the Elder, who died in the MON eruption of Vesuvius when his nephew was just 18. MON MON In this first episode Pliny and his mother go shopping for a MON new slave. Pliny wants someone with secretarial skills to MON help him get his letters ready for publication. His mother MON has other needs in mind. They choose a man who was captured MON by the Romans when they invaded Wales and who has learned MON Latin and Greek from his previous master. Back at the villa MON the nervous new member of the household meets Doris, the MON Greek cook, an unsuccessful prophetess who was pipped to the MON post of Oracle at Delphi by another girl. If Pliny and his MON household are to survive the snake-pit of Imperial Rome, MON they must negotiate a political minefield, keep their eyes MON peeled for spies and most of all, not do anything to annoy MON the Emperor. Hattie Naylor's drama is based on real letters MON written by Pliny to his friends and colleagues nearly two MON thousand years ago.

In the boot of MON the taxi is a set of scalpel-sharp swords. They're heading MON for a duel. Soon, two of those men will stand face-to-face MON with their opponents, swords drawn. And somebody may be MON scarred for life. MON MON Writer Horatio Clare meets the German student fraternities MON who pursue a 200 year-old tradition of brotherhood, honour MON and swordsmanship - and for many of whom a duelling scar is MON still a badge of honour. He meets the members of Corps MON Marchia Berlin, one of many student Corps across Germany. MON What sets these all-male fraternities apart is the tradition MON of Mensur, academic fencing, a duel any aspiring member must MON undertake several times before they can be full members. MON MON Horatio joins the Corps as two of its members prepare for a MON Mensur. In the training room at the Corps Marchia house he MON picks up a Schläger - the Corps duelling sword - and is MON taught the basic moves for defence and attack. But he MON discovers for himself that an even more challenging part of MON the Mensur is the steel goggles that the combatants wear to MON protect their eyes during a bout. The rest of the head is MON left exposed but the goggles are fastened so tightly that MON the swordsman can scarcely see. The duel is fought more by MON instinct than by sight. MON MON The Corps pride themselves on a tradition of tolerance and MON neutrality, but many Germans confuse them with other MON outwardly similar groups who hold right-wing political MON views. As he trains with the Corps, Horatio asks his hosts MON about their relevance in the 21st century. They emphasise MON friendship and brotherhood, along with the courage and MON discipline which Mensur engenders, but there are other MON advantages: the lifelong bond between Corps members also MON gives plenty of networking opportunities after university. MON MON At the Mensur, Horatio discovers that, if one of the MON duellists is hit, the real test is in how he takes that cut, MON the Schmiss. He must receive his scar without a flinch, MON without the slightest change of expression. The honour of MON the whole fraternity depends on it. This is what it takes to MON be accepted into their brotherhood. In the Corps, this is MON what it means to be a man. MON MON 11:30 Dilemma b01r5pxg (Listen) MON Series 2, Episode 4 MON MON In Dilemma, Sue Perkins puts four panellists through the MON moral and ethical wringer by posing a series of MON finely-balanced dilemmas and then cross-examining them on MON their answers. So, in the first series, Dominic Lawson was MON asked if he would provide an alibi for someone he hated; Fi MON Glover was offered £25,000 to give a talk to a company that MON once screwed over her husband; John Finnemore was asked if MON he'd grass up a sweet old lady who was shoplifting. (Yes, MON Yes, No, were the answers if you're interested.) MON MON As well as these hypothetical questions, the show also MON features a variety of rounds which may include: Audience MON Dilemmas, where the panel 'solve' any problems the audience MON may be having; What Did I Do?, where each panellist relates MON a dilemma they were faced with in their own lives and the MON others have to guess how they resolved it; Why I Was Right, MON where each panellist is given an indefensible action that MON they must morally justify in 30 seconds; Choose Your Own MON Adventure, where the panellists get a series of dilemmas, MON each one following on from the last as they burrow their way MON deeper into a moral quagmire; and Quickfire, where shades of MON grey are dismissed in favour of a fingers-on-the-buzzers MON binary choice - "Would you rather eat a kitten or fight a MON swan?". MON MON This week's show sees comedian Roisin Conaty changing MON history; journalist Samira Ahmed dip into the archives; MON member of sketch team The Penny Dreadfuls David Reed get MON injust justice; and comedian and host of Radio 4's The MON Infinite Monkey Cage Robin Ince learn about a maths MON teacher's non-standard deviation.

MON MON On the most simple level social networks and the now MON seemingly permanent cult of the selfie means that finding MON our visual double has never been easier. And its the appeal MON of this that was the inspiration for Niamh Gearney's website MON Twin Strangers where people register to hopefully track down MON their double. Niamh herself has found 3 doubles and she MON hopes to track down 7 having found that number in MON researching doppelganger myths. MON MON For artist Daniel Bejar sharing his name with a famous MON musician has turned the online world into a battlefield for MON identity an idea he's exploring by changing his appearance MON to that of his more famous namesake and posting pictures to MON the web. While for Joanna McNeil she created her own MON cyber-twin; a bot to share answering her emails and MON messages. She hoped this would help her understand the ways MON in which emotion is conveyed online by delegating MON communication to an algorithm. MON MON Its how the digital world makes doppelgangers of us all that MON fascinates technology critic Sara Watson of Harvard's MON Berkman Institute of the internet and society. We catch MON glimpses of these shadowy digital doppelgangers in ads that MON don't quite match who we think we are online or in MON recommendations make us feel uneasy. Its as if the attempts MON at personalisation of our digital experiences that she MON compares to the idea of the uncanny valley of robotics when MON something is so close to being human that it becomes MON repellent.

Huge, sturdy oaks grow slowly from small acorns and MON in The Man Who Planted Trees and old shepherd re-forests a MON barren valley by carefully and steadily planning a few MON acorns each day. MON MON We have rested under oaks, climbed them, used their acorns, MON bark and wood. We have even made music from their tree MON rings.

TUE TUE Liz Bonnin presents the northern jacana at home in Central TUE American wetlands. A cross between a coot and a plover, TUE northern Jacanas are found in swamps in Central America and TUE Mexico. They're long legged birds with a black head and TUE neck, and a chestnut body with yellow highlights. And, TUE northern jacanas are polyandrous; the females have more than TUE one partner. Males build platforms of floating vegetation TUE and attract females by calling or posturing. If a female TUE mates with a male, he may use his platform as a nest for her TUE eggs. The female doesn't care for the eggs, but goes in TUE search of up to three other mates. The result is that a TUE single female may have several males raising different TUE clutches of eggs for her and each clutch may contain the TUE eggs of more than one male!

TUE It's perhaps not surprising that beetles are at the heart of TUE the many ways we take inspiration from nature. TUE TUE "Ladybird, ladybird, fly away home, TUE Your house is all burned and your children are gone....." TUE TUE This nursery rhyme is one of many across Europe that TUE demonstrates our close relationship with ladybirds. Peter TUE Marren, leading wildlife author, explains the story behind TUE the rhyme and why the ladybird in folklore is seen as 'Our TUE Lady's Bird'. The beetles collection at the Natural History TUE Museum reveals the gold and silver beetles of the Cloud TUE Forests of Costa Rica collected by Walter Rothschild in TUE 1894. These beetles have evolved to evade predators with TUE wing covers that reflect light and mimic drops of rain. TUE Scarab beetles found in Ancient Egypt had a huge impact on TUE both the ecology and culture of the region and we find out TUE why they were revered as sacred. TUE TUE In many cultures across the world, from Asia and India to TUE the Americas, beetle wings have been gathered for centuries TUE and crafted into textiles and jewellery. In the Amazon TUE region, the Shaur tribe incorporated beetle wings into TUE ceremonial dress to enhance their prowess as warriors. TUE With poetry by John Clare and a nursery rhyme written by TUE A.A. Milne, we celebrate the beetle and the role it plays as TUE both an exotic and mundane creature whose biology is so TUE extraordinary that some scientists now wish to copy it. The TUE new science of Biomimetics is evolving fast and beetles, TUE with all their varied forms and irresistible structural TUE colours, may yet prove as invaluable in our future as they TUE have been in our past. TUE TUE Max Barclay TUE Max Barclay is an entomologist and the Collection Manager TUE for beetles at the TUE Natural History Museum TUE London. He manages the 10 million specimen collection, which TUE dates back to the voyages of Charles Darwin, Captain Cook TUE and beyond and is visited by hundreds of external scientists TUE per year. He has had work published in over 50 scientific TUE papers and manages our team of beetle curators. TUE A life-long naturalist, he began his career as a volunteer TUE at Jersey Wildlife Preservation Trust.

TUE TUE The heel of Italy is currently gripped by an outbreak of TUE Xylella fastidiosa: a voracious tree disease that is TUE systematically devastating olive groves in Italy's main TUE areas of production for olive oil. TUE TUE 95% of the world's olive trees are in the Mediterranean, and TUE Italy is the world's second largest exporter of oil, behind TUE Spain. TUE TUE Rural communities risk being torn apart as the disease TUE threatens the livelihoods of farming families that have TUE grown olives for in the region centuries. The whole TUE environment is set to change as trees die, leaving the TUE landscape totally bare. TUE TUE Tom meets scientists about to wage war on the bacteria: TUE Professor Giovanni Martelli and Dr Donato Boscia from the TUE University of Bari. They are working to find a way of TUE stopping the disease from spreading. If they are TUE unsuccessful, olive production in the whole of the TUE Mediterranean basin could be at risk.

WED WED Liz Bonnin presents the gaunt undertaker looking marabou WED stalk in Africa. It is not very scientific to describe a WED bird as ugly, but the marabou stalk would not win any prizes WED for beauty or elegance. This bulky stork, with a funereal WED air, has a fleshy inflatable sac under its throat which WED conspicuously wobbles as it probes African rubbish dumps for WED carrion. Seemingly more at home amongst the melee of WED vultures and jackals squabbling over a carcass, it is known WED in some areas as the undertaker bird. But, in the air the WED marabou stork is an elegant sight. It has one of the largest WED wingspans of any bird, up to 3 metres across. Soaring WED effortlessly on these broad wings the storks scan the WED sub-Saharan landscape for food. Marabou storks are doing WED well, thanks to our throwaway society and they've learned to WED connect people with rubbish - a salutary association one WED might say.

WED WED On a solitary walk back from the pub he peers into the WED shadows of the dark, deserted seafront. WED WED These experimental radio features blend archive, fiction and WED documentary footage. What's real and what's fiction becomes WED unclear, just like the city. A city isn't just a location on WED the map, it's a place we imagine, dream about, invent even. WED A place to love, to endure or to resent. A place where you WED can find anything - but it always has a price. You don't WED need to live in one; it's part of the universal imagination. WED A place where everyone - and no one - belongs. WED WED But the way we think of a city has common dark undertones, WED recurring dreams that come round again and again.

THU THU Liz Bonnin presents the morepork or Ru-Ru, New Zealand's THU only surviving native owl. Strange double notes in the THU forests of New Zealand were once thought to be cries from THU the Underworld. But these calls are most likely to be that THU of a morepork calling. Its familiar call earned it the THU alternative Maori name of "ruru". Largely nocturnal, it has THU brown, streaky feathers and large bright yellow eyes which THU are well adapted for almost silent night hunting forays for THU large insects, spiders, small birds and mammals. In Maori THU mythology, moreporks, or "ruru" are spiritual birds, and can THU represent the ancestral spirit of a family, taking the form THU of a woman known as "Hine-Ruru" or "owl woman" who acts as a THU guardian, protecting and advising the family members.

These stories have usually only been THU whispered about backstage. Until now. Actor Jack Shepherd THU gets fellow actors and theatre staff to open up about their THU ghostly experiences in some of Britain's spookiest theatres. THU THU He hears of the ghost of Joseph Grimaldi at the Theatre THU Royal Drury Lane, where actors believe the clown gives them THU a shove in the back when they've missed their cue or their THU mark on stage. There's the tale of the ghost of the 19th THU century actress Sarah Bernhardt, who is said to haunt the THU corridors of Brighton's Theatre Royal, and of the man in THU 18th century dress who appeared to a former artistic THU director of the old Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh: THU THU "I realised I wasn't alone. I looked up and saw these THU buckled shoes and a man standing in the ash of the THU fireplace, wearing thick stockings and breeches. He was a THU very tangible, burly man in his late 40s, and he looked at THU me with the same curiosity that I looked at him, as if to THU say, 'What are you doing in my house?'" THU THU Jack is our sceptical guide. Strange things happen in the THU theatre, and there is usually an explanation. Only what is THU it? THU THU So widespread is the belief in haunted theatres in Britain THU that many have a 'ghost light' burning on stage all through THU the night. In Shakespeare's time it would have been a THU candle. Now it is a single bare lightbulb, intended to keep THU the ghosts at bay.

On Wolf Island in the remote FRI Galapagos archipelago, a small dark finch sidles up to a FRI booby with a taste for blood.

Several species of FRI ground-finches have devolved bill sizes which vary depending FRI on their diet and the competition for food. Usually seeds, FRI fruits, nectar and grubs. But one sharp-beaked ground-finch FRI has gorier ambitions. On the isolated islands of Wolf and FRI Darwin where seeds are scarcer in times of drought this bird FRI has taken to drinking the blood of other seabirds, FRI especially boobies. It pecks at the bases of their feathers FRI and greedily laps up the flowing blood. For this reason it's FRI often known as the, the vampire finch.

But FRI this is no ordinary spider and it's no ordinary web that FRI she's spinning. Alison Steadman plays Sandra the sun-loving FRI spider and her 'alter ego', Patsy, in a funny tale written FRI by Lynne Truss about an eight legged femme fatale. Sandra is FRI a Nursery web spider, and as for the spinning; well she just FRI can't help herself "Oh, Sandra, how many more times, my FRI love? You are not a loom!" she cries. In fact, as she FRI explains, she doesn't even have to make webs. Other spiders FRI have to make webs to catch their dinner, but not the Nursery FRI Web spider; she simply hunts down her prey, jumping out and FRI surprising them, "its much more energy efficient and leaves FRI more time for sitting in the sun admiring your own legs". FRI Nevertheless she is very good at spinning which is just as FRI well, because her web makes a perfect 'tent' or nursery in FRI which to look after her young. Spinning also takes her mind FRI off things, like her recent unfortunate encounters with male FRI suitors who dupe her with their gifts, fake accents and FRI cheating ways. The result is "pregnant with no dinner" and a FRI family of over 100 spiderlings; quite a handful for a spider FRI who never really wanted to be a mother. And so, Sandra sits FRI by her nursery web, sharing her troubles with us and her FRI 'alter ego', Patsy when she's not being interrupted by the FRI "Spider Relationship Councillor". With wildlife sound FRI recordings by Chris Watson and expert advice from Tim FRI Cockerill, arachnophobes beware as on the eve of Halloween, FRI a Nursery web spider takes to the airwaves, to reveal what FRI life is really like in amongst the long grass!
