SAT SAT BAFTA award winning filmmaker Molly Dineen examines the SAT concept of truth and the creation of narrative in SAT documentary film making. Robert Flaherty's 'Nanook of the SAT North' is considered the first documentary ever made, and SAT much of it was specially set up for the cameras. We think SAT that modern 'Scripted Reality' is a new phenomenon, but does SAT it have its roots in the earliest days of documentary? We SAT look at the making of a documentary, from idea, to casting, SAT filming and editing to find out how documentary makers craft SAT their story. SAT SAT Molly Dineen looks at nearly 100 years of documentary making SAT from the archives, as well as looking back on her own SAT career. Her first film 'Home from the Hill' followed retired SAT Solider Hilary Hook returning to England after a career in SAT Kenya, and she has also filmed the London Zoo in crisis, in SAT her BAFTA award winning series 'The Ark', modern celebrity SAT in her portrait of ex-Spice Girl Geri Halliwell, and a Prime SAT Minister in waiting in the 1997 Party Political Broadcast SAT for the Labour Party. Molly's observational style sees her SAT immersing herself in the worlds she shoots, but we also take SAT a look at modern 'Fly on the Wall' programming, speaking to SAT TV producer Jonathan Stadlen about his series 'GP's: Behind SAT Closed Doors'. There's more factual programming around now SAT than ever; but is this a good thing? Are the schedules SAT clogged with cheap programming that sacrifices the truth for SAT style, using fast cutting, music and voice over rather than SAT allowing people to speak for themselves? SAT SAT We also hear from Kim Loginotto, whose films examine the SAT lives of women worldwide, Radio Producer Simon Elmes and TV SAT Critic AA Gill. SAT SAT Presenter: Molly Dineen SAT Producer: Jessica Treen.

What are SAT the implications when we can control memory in this way, and SAT why is it so important to our future? SAT SAT FutureProofing travels to California to meet the SAT neuro-scientists creating the means for us to make and SAT control memories inside the human brain, and to hear what SAT the future holds when we can manipulate the process of SAT forming and storing memories. SAT SAT Presenters Timandra Harkness and Leo Johnson also explore SAT the implications of having our memories distributed in many SAT places - a development that is gathering pace as we SAT increasingly use the internet as the repository of our lives SAT - from social media to cloud storage and all our online SAT shopping data.

SAT SAT The rounds vary between Specialist Subjects and General SAT Knowledge, quickfire bell-and-buzzer rounds and the Highbrow SAT and Lowbrow round cunningly devised to test not only the SAT students' knowledge of current affairs, history, languages SAT and science, but also their Professors' awareness of SAT television, sport, and quite possibly Justin Bieber.

SUN SUN 06:05 Something Understood b07bt72f (Listen) SUN Mark Tully ponders why deterrence often fails to deter, SUN whether globally, at home, or in the Garden of Eden. He SUN examines the different ways it is used - including to SUN discipline children, to reduce breaches of the law, to SUN prevent people endangering themselves or others and, perhaps SUN most successfully, to stop the Cold War getting hot. SUN SUN To consider whether persuasion might be a better option than SUN deterrence, Mark chooses readings on the prohibition of SUN alcohol in the United States in the 1920s, the psychological SUN effects of the notion of sin and hell, and the mixed success SUN of corporal and capital punishment. SUN SUN While accepting that deterrence can be effective sometimes, SUN Mark maintains that it often prevents us pursuing better SUN options, and can be detrimental - not least for Conrad who SUN ignores his mother's warning that "the great tall tailor SUN always comes", armed with his "great sharp scissors", to SUN "little boys that suck their thumbs."

SUN SUN After the Welcome and Introduction, the Mgr Moger introduces SUN the Penitential Act in these words: SUN Brothers and sisters, let us acknowledge our sins, and so SUN prepare ourselves SUN to celebrate the sacred mysteries. SUN SUN SUN He continues: SUN Lord Jesus, you have revealed yourself as the way to the SUN Father: SUN Lord, have mercy SUN All: Lord, have mercy SUN SUN You have poured out on your people the Spirit of truth: SUN Christ have mercy SUN All: Christ, have mercy SUN SUN You are the Good Shepherd, leading us to eternal life SUN Lord, have mercy SUN All: Lord, have mercy SUN He concludes with these words: May almighty God have mercy SUN on us, SUN forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life. SUN All: Amen. SUN SUN The Gloria begins; sung by the choir: SUN COLLECT at the Chair (north side of the sanctuary) SUN SUN Mgr Moger: Let us pray. SUN SUN After a brief pause, Mgr Moger continues: SUN God our Father, who by sending into the world SUN the Word of truth and the Spirit of sanctification SUN made known to the human race your wondrous mystery, SUN grant us, we pray, that in professing the true faith, SUN we may acknowledge the Trinity of eternal glory SUN and adore your Unity, powerful in majesty. SUN Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, SUN who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy SUN Spirit, SUN one God, for ever and ever. SUN All: Amen. SUN SUN Everyone sits. SUN SUN THE LITURGY OF THE WORD SUN THE FIRST READING at the Lectern (south side of the SUN sanctuary) read by Marissa Dabill. SUN A reading from the book of Proverbs (8:22-31) SUN SUN The Wisdom of God cries aloud: SUN The Lord created me when his purpose first unfolded, SUN before the oldest of his works. SUN From everlasting I was firmly set, SUN from the beginning, before earth came into being. SUN The deep was not, when I was born, SUN there were no springs to gush with water. SUN Before the mountains were settled, SUN before the hills, I came to birth; SUN before he made the earth, the countryside, SUN or the first grains of the world’s dust. SUN When he fixed the heavens firm, I was there, SUN when he drew a ring on the surface of the deep, SUN when he thickened the clouds above, SUN when he fixed fast the springs of the deep, SUN when he assigned the sea its boundaries SUN – and the waters will not invade the shore – SUN when he laid down the foundations of the earth, SUN I was by his side, a master craftsman, SUN delighting him day after day, SUN ever at play in his presence, SUN at play everywhere in his world, SUN delighting to be with the sons of men. SUN SUN Reader: The Word of the Lord. SUN All: Thanks be to God. SUN The reader returns to her place. SUN SUN Responsorial Psalm sung by the choir/cantor Psalm 8:4-9. R/ SUN v 2 SUN SUN Choir/cantor sings the Response: Alleluia, alleluia, SUN allleuia SUN SUN All repeat the Response: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia SUN Choir/cantor sings the verses: SUN SUN When I see the heavens, the work of your hands, SUN the moon and the stars which you arranged, SUN what is man that you should keep him in mind, SUN mortal man that you care for him? SUN SUN All repeat the Response: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia SUN SUN Yet you have made him little less than a god; SUN with glory and honour you crowned him, SUN gave him power over the works of your hand, SUN put all things under his feet. SUN All repeat the Response: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia SUN All of them, sheep and cattle, SUN yes, even the savage beasts, SUN birds of the air, and fish SUN that make their way through the waters. SUN SUN All repeat the Response: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia SUN Inclusive of gospel acclamation SUN SUN Everyone stands. SUN SUN Gospel at the Lectern (south side of the sanctuary) read by SUN Deacon Joe Cortis SUN SUN Deacon: The Lord be with you. SUN All: And with your spirit. SUN Deacon: A reading from the holy gospel according to John SUN (16:12-15) SUN All: Glory to you, O Lord. SUN SUN Jesus said to his disciples: SUN ‘I still have many things to say to you SUN but they would be too much for you now. SUN But when the Spirit of truth comes SUN he will lead you to the complete truth, SUN since he will not be speaking as from himself SUN but will say only what he has learnt; SUN and he will tell you of the things to come. SUN He will glorify me, SUN since all he tells you SUN will be taken from what is mine. SUN Everything the Father has is mine; SUN that is why I said: SUN All he tells you SUN will be taken from what is mine.’ SUN SUN Deacon: The gospel of the Lord. SUN All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. SUN Alleluia repeated by the choir/cantor. Deacon Joe Cortis SUN returns to his seat on the north side of the sanctuary. SUN SUN Everyone sits. SUN SUN HOMILY at the Lectern (south side of the sanctuary) preached SUN by Fr Timothy Swinglehurst. SUN SUN In the children’s story, The Lion, the Witch and the SUN Wardrobe, the great Lion (Aslan) has died: early the next SUN morning 2 young girls, Susan and Lucy meet him alive again: SUN Aslan has risen from the dead. This newly risen Aslan SUN doesn’t first deliver a great, rousing speech to inspire SUN them or perform a mighty act of power to impress them; SUN instead he says, quite simply, “Children – children - catch SUN me if you can”. Then he leaps into the air; round and round SUN they go, the children chasing after him; Aslan dives between SUN them - then tosses them into the air, catching them in his SUN huge velvet paws. Suddenly: he stops - all three of them SUN roll over and over in (as the book says) “a happy, laughing SUN heap of fur and arms and legs”. It’s a glorious scene where SUN every movement is certainly spontaneous and free, yet SUN exhibits the precision of a well-prepared, minutely SUN choreographed dance. SUN SUN Here in this chase, C. S. Lewis (who is the author of these SUN books about the imaginary land of Narnia) provides us with SUN an image of what life with the risen Jesus is like – it is a SUN life of delight, almost we might say, of playfulness, a life SUN of overflowing love – and joy. SUN SUN In our first reading today, we have heard the voice of SUN Wisdom speaking to us about life with God - about the SUN intimacy of life with Him. Living closely with God, says SUN Wisdom, is a “delight”; it’s like being “ever at play”. SUN It’s almost as if life with God is like that great game of SUN catch with Aslan – but a game which (unlike that game in SUN Narnia) never comes to an end. SUN SUN In their account of Jesus’ baptism, the gospels give us a SUN further insight into this intimate life of God; there at the SUN Jordan River the curtains are drawn back and we see God’s SUN life as it truly is. We see revealed a scene of great joy, SUN a scene where there is an extraordinary harmony of movement SUN and sound: Jesus moves up out of the waters; as he does so, SUN the Holy Spirit moves down upon him; (at that same moment) a SUN voice is heard, a voice which seems to surround both Jesus SUN and the Holy Spirit like a billowing, protective mantle, SUN declaring, “This is my Son, the Beloved: in him I take great SUN delight.” Here at Jesus’ Baptism, the Bible presents us SUN with God in community, the community of Father, Son and Holy SUN Spirit, a community almost at play, where every action, SUN every gesture has its right place, expressing fully the joy, SUN the delight of being with one another in the rich and SUN inexhaustible movement of love. SUN SUN In today’s Gospel the Lord Jesus tells his disciples that SUN the Holy Spirit will lead them into truth, the complete SUN truth; there they will behold the glory of the Son in the SUN presence of the Father, the life of the Most Holy Trinity – SUN it is a life of joy and delight, a life of overflowing, SUN abounding love – the life into which we are led by the SUN gentle, guiding hand of the Holy Spirit. SUN SUN After the Homily Fr Swinglehurst returns to his place on the SUN sanctuary. SUN SUN Everyone stands. SUN SUN CREED at the Chair (north side of the sanctuary) SUN SUN Mgr Moger: I believe in God, SUN All: the Father almighty, SUN Creator of heaven and earth, SUN and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, SUN At the words that follow, up to and including ‘the Virgin SUN Mary’, all bow. SUN who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, SUN born of the Virgin Mary, SUN suffered under Pontius Pilate, SUN was crucified, died and was buried; SUN he descended into hell; SUN on the third day he rose again from the dead; SUN he ascended into heaven, SUN and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; SUN from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. SUN I believe in the Holy Spirit, SUN the holy catholic Church, SUN the communion of saints, SUN the forgiveness of sins, SUN the resurrection of the body, SUN and life everlasting. Amen. SUN SUN PRAYER OF THE FAITHFUL SUN SUN Mgr Moger introduces the Prayer at the Chair (north side of SUN the sanctuary), as follows: SUN SUN Let us pray with faith to the Father, through the Son, in SUN the power of the Spirit. SUN SUN The reader standing at the ambo/lectern reads the SUN intentions; at the end of each intention the Cantor sings: SUN Kyrie eleison SUN All: Kyrie eleison SUN SUN For the Church, the body of Christ – that it may be SUN preserved in the truth revealed by God and so be a source of SUN light and life to all. SUN PAUSE SUN Cantor: Kyrie eleison. All: Kyrie eleison. SUN SUN For peace in our troubled world and especially in Syria: may SUN those who govern be inspired to work unceasingly for peace SUN and justice, and may we be committed to a genuine love of SUN neighbour: SUN PAUSE SUN Cantor: Kyrie eleison. All: Kyrie eleison. SUN SUN For the poor and the hungry, the lonely and those who live SUN without hope, those whose lives are ravaged by war and SUN violence, we remember the people of Syria, may those who SUN have, be generous in sharing with those who have not. SUN PAUSE SUN Cantor: Kyrie eleison. All: Kyrie eleison. SUN SUN For those in our society whose lives are paralysed by strain SUN and anxiety in themselves, and hostility towards others – SUN that the Holy Spirit may give them inner peace and be SUN restored to that wholeness which is God’s will for all. SUN PAUSE SUN Cantor: Kyrie eleison. All: Kyrie eleison. SUN SUN For those who are sick – that they may receive comfort and SUN healing, strength and peace; and for those who have died SUN recently, and for those whose anniversaries occur at this SUN time - that they may enter into their heavenly inheritance SUN in God’s kingdom, freed from the corruption of sin and SUN death. SUN PAUSE SUN Cantor: Kyrie eleison. All: Kyrie eleison. SUN SUN After the final Lord, hear our prayer, Mgr Moger concludes SUN the Prayer at the Chair (north side of the sanctuary), as SUN follows: SUN SUN God our Father, you Son was begotten before all ages, SUN yet is born among us in time; SUN your Holy Spirit fills the whole creation, SUN yet is poured forth now into our hearts. SUN Because you have made us and loved us and called us by name, SUN draw us more deeply into your divine life, that we may SUN glorify you. SUN Through Christ our Lord. Amen. SUN All: Amen. SUN SUN After the Amen, the reader returns to her place, and all SUN sit. The offertory hymn begins. SUN SUN THE LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST SUN Mgr Moger and Deacon Joe Cortis move to behind the altar. Gr SUN Moger says: SUN SUN During the Offertory hymn the gifts of bread and wine will SUN be brought in procession to the altar. For Catholics, the SUN Eucharist is the source and summit of the whole Christian SUN life. It is the vital centre of all that the Church is and SUN does, because at its heart is the real presence of the SUN crucified, risen and glorified Lord, continuing and making SUN present his saving work among us. SUN SUN The altar server brings a tray with the gifts (bread and SUN wine), and Mgr Moger offers the gifts of bread and wine SUN silently; he then washes his hands. SUN SUN Offertory Hymn SUN SUN Come, praise the Lord, the almighty, SUN SUN At the end of the hymn, all stand, and Mgr Moger standing SUN behind the altar says: SUN SUN Mgr Moger: Pray, brothers and sisters, that my sacrifice and SUN yours may be SUN acceptable to God, the almighty Father. SUN SUN All: May the Lord accept the sacrifice at your hands for the SUN praise and glory of his name, for our good and the good of SUN all his holy Church. SUN PRAYER OVER THE OFFERINGS standing behind the altar: SUN SUN Mgr Moger: SUN Sanctify by the invocation of your name, SUN we pray, O Lord our God, SUN this oblation of our service, SUN and by it make of us an eternal offering to you. SUN Through Christ our Lord. SUN All: Amen. SUN SUN Frs Timothy Swinglehurst and Matthew Habron step forward SUN from their places and stands near the altar. Mgr Moger then SUN sings the Preface standing behind the altar: SUN SUN Mgr Moger: The Lord be with you. SUN All: And with your spirit. SUN Mgr Moger: Lift up your hearts. SUN All: We lift them up to the Lord. SUN Mgr Moger: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. SUN All: It is right and just. SUN SUN It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation, SUN always and everywhere to give you thanks, SUN Lord, holy Father, almighty and eternal God. SUN For with your Only Begotten Son and the Holy Spirit SUN you are one God, one Lord: SUN not in the unity of a single person, SUN but in a Trinity of one substance. SUN For what you have revealed to us of your glory SUN we believe equally of your Son SUN and of the Holy Spirit, SUN so that, in the confessing of the true and eternal Godhead, SUN you might be adored in what is proper to each Person, SUN their unity in substance, SUN and their equality in majesty. SUN For this is praised by Angels and Archangels, SUN Cherubim, too, and Seraphim, SUN who never cease to cry out each day, SUN as with one voice they acclaim: SUN SUN The Sanctus is sung by the choir: SUN Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dóminus Deus Sábaoth. SUN Pleni sunt cæli et terra glória tua. SUN Hosánna in excélsis. SUN BenedÃctus qui venit in nómine Dómini. SUN Hosánna in excélsis. SUN SUN At the end of the Sanctus, the congregation kneels. SUN SUN Mgr Moger alone recites: SUN You are indeed Holy, O Lord, SUN the fount of all holiness. SUN SUN Mgr Moger who continues aloud, is joined by Frs Timothy SUN Swinglehurst SUN and Matthew Habron who speak quietly. As Mgr Moger and Frs SUN Timothy SUN Swinglehurst stretch out their hands over the gifts, the SUN altar server rings a bell. SUN SUN Make holy, therefore, these gifts, we pray, SUN by sending down your Spirit upon them like the dewfall, SUN so that they may become for us SUN the Body and ✠ Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. SUN At the time he was betrayed SUN and entered willingly into his Passion, SUN he took bread and, giving thanks, broke it, SUN and gave it to his disciples, saying: SUN SUN TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND EAT OF IT, SUN FOR THIS IS MY BODY, SUN WHICH WILL BE GIVEN UP FOR YOU. SUN SUN As the Host is elevated, the altar server rings a bell. Mgr SUN Moger genuflects SUN and continues aloud, with Frs Timothy Swinglehurst and SUN Matthew SUN Habron who speak quietly: SUN SUN In a similar way, when supper was ended, SUN he took the chalice SUN and, once more giving thanks, SUN he gave it to his disciples, saying: SUN TAKE THIS, ALL OF YOU, AND DRINK FROM IT, SUN FOR THIS IS THE CHALICE OF MY BLOOD, SUN THE BLOOD OF THE NEW AND ETERNAL COVENANT, SUN WHICH WILL BE POURED OUT FOR YOU AND FOR MANY SUN FOR THE FORGIVENESS OF SINS. SUN DO THIS IN MEMORY OF ME. SUN As the Chalice is elevated, the altar server rings a bell. SUN Mgr Moger SUN genuflects and continues, by singing: The mystery of faith. SUN SUN The people continue, singing: SUN SUN All: Save us, Saviour of the world, for by your Cross and SUN Resurrection, you have set us free. SUN SUN Mgr Moger continues aloud, with Frs Timothy Swinglehurst and SUN Matthew SUN Habron who speak quietly: SUN SUN Therefore, as we celebrate SUN the memorial of his Death and Resurrection, SUN we offer you, Lord, SUN the Bread of life and the Chalice of salvation, SUN giving thanks that you have held us worthy SUN to be in your presence and minister to you. SUN Humbly we pray SUN that, partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ, SUN we may be gathered into one by the Holy Spirit. SUN Fr T Swinglehurst steps forward and continues alone, by SUN saying aloud: SUN Remember, Lord, your Church, SUN spread throughout the world, SUN and bring her to the fullness of charity, SUN together with Francis our Pope, Marcus our Bishop, SUN and all the clergy. SUN SUN Fr M Habron steps forward and continues alone, by saying SUN aloud: SUN Remember also our brothers and sisters SUN who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection, SUN and all who have died in your mercy: SUN welcome them into the light of your face. SUN Have mercy on us all, we pray, SUN that with the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, SUN with blessed Joseph, her Spouse, SUN with the blessed Apostles, SUN and all the Saints who have pleased you throughout the ages, SUN we may merit to be coheirs to eternal life, SUN and may praise and glorify you SUN through your Son, Jesus Christ. SUN SUN Mgr Moger sings aloud, with Frs Timothy Swinglehurst and SUN Matthew SUN Habron who sing quietly: SUN Through him, and with him, and in him, SUN O God, almighty Father, SUN in the unity of the Holy Spirit, SUN all glory and honour is yours, SUN for ever and ever. All: Amen. SUN SUN The congregation stands. SUN SUN THE COMMUNION RITE SUN THE LORD’S PRAYER from behind the altar, Mgr Moger says: SUN At the Saviour’s command SUN and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say: SUN Together with the people, Mgr Moger continues: SUN Our Father, who art in heaven, SUN hallowed be thy name; SUN thy kingdom come, SUN thy will be done SUN on earth as it is in heaven. SUN Give us this day our daily bread, SUN and forgive us our trespasses, SUN as we forgive those who trespass against us; SUN and lead us not into temptation, SUN but deliver us from evil. SUN Mgr Moger alone continues, saying: SUN Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, SUN graciously grant peace in our days, SUN that, by the help of your mercy, SUN we may be always free from sin SUN and safe from all distress, SUN as we await the blessed hope SUN and the coming of our Saviour, Jesus Christ. SUN SUN All: For the kingdom, SUN the power and the glory are yours SUN now and for ever. SUN Mgr Moger alone says aloud: SUN Lord Jesus Christ, SUN who said to your Apostles: SUN Peace I leave you, my peace I give you, SUN look not on our sins, SUN but on the faith of your Church, SUN and graciously grant her peace and unity SUN in accordance with your will. SUN Who live and reign for ever and ever. SUN All: Amen. SUN SUN Mgr Moger: The peace of the Lord be with you always. SUN All: And with your spirit. SUN SUN Deacon Joe Cortis: Let us offer each other the sign of SUN peace. SUN SUN Mgr Moger offers the sign of peace to Deacon Joe Cortis, Frs SUN Timothy SUN Swinglehurst and Matthew Habron and the altar server, Darren SUN Jones, SUN saying audily on mic, “Peace be with you”, the response SUN being “And with SUN your spirit”. SUN The Agnus Dei is sung by the choir: SUN AGNUS DEI SUN Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccáta mundi: miserére nobis. SUN Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccáta mundi: miserére nobis. SUN Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccáta mundi: dona nobis pacem. SUN SUN INVITATION TO HOLY COMMUNION from behind the altar, Mgr SUN Moger holding the broken Host over the Chalice, says: SUN SUN Mgr Moger: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away SUN the sins SUN of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the SUN Lamb. SUN SUN All (together with Mgr Moger): Lord, I am not worthy that SUN you SUN should enter under my roof, but only say the word and my SUN soul shall SUN be healed. SUN Mgr Moger receives the Body and Blood of Christ. As Mgr SUN Moger drinks SUN from the Chalice, the altar server rings a bell. SUN Mgr Moger then distributes Holy Communion to Deacon Joe SUN Cortis and SUN the altar server, Darren Jones, saying, audibly on mic: The SUN Body of Christ. SUN Fr Matthew Habron distributes the Chalice by saying, audibly SUN on mic: SUN The Blood of Christ. This takes place on the sanctuary. SUN SUN The Choir then begins the motet, SUN SUN AVE VERUM, DUGGAN SUN SUN PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION at the Chair (north side of the SUN sanctuary) SUN SUN As the motet ends, Mgr Moger says: Let us pray.

SUN Through Christ our Lord. SUN All: Amen. SUN THE CONCLUDING RITES at the Chair (north side of the SUN sanctuary) SUN FAREWELL SUN Mgr Moger says: SUN Thank you for joining us at Leeds Cathedral for Mass on SUN Trinity Sunday.

SUN SUN He argues that the major British contribution to winning the SUN war came at sea, and that it was the ancient British tactic SUN of blockading and starving out a continental foe which SUN eventually won the day, and shows how central the naval war, SUN and the Battle of Jutland in particular, was to bringing SUN America into the First World War on the allied side. SUN SUN Lord West visits the German naval base in Wilhelmshaven, SUN former home of the German Imperial navy and the place from SUN which German naval commanders looked out on a North Sea SUN which they could not safely navigate and from which they SUN could not escape. He travels on a boat close to the site of SUN the battle itself to imagine the scene when the sea was SUN filled with giant 'castles of steel', firing huge shells and SUN belching out coal smoke. And after meeting British and SUN German historians, he travels to a new memorial in Jutland SUN to weigh the human cost that day. SUN SUN Producer: Giles Edwards. SUN SUN 14:00 Gardeners' Question Time b07bfzhj (Listen) SUN Ness Botanic Gardens - Correspondence Edition SUN SUN Eric Robson hosts a correspondence edition of the programme SUN from Ness Botanic Gardens. Christine Walkden, Bob Flowerdew SUN and Pippa Greenwood are this week's panellists, answering SUN questions sent in by letter, email and social media. SUN SUN Produced by Dan Cocker SUN Assistant producer: Hannah Newton SUN SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN Fact Sheet SUN Q – I have planted up the tree-pit in the street outside, a SUN small 40cm x 40cm (16 inches x 16 inches) plot, with a small SUN Field Maple planted in the middle. It has free-draining soil SUN and we have put 10cm (4 inches) of moisture retaining SUN compost on top. Dog urine seems to be killing off most SUN things - can you recommend urine-resistant plants? SUN SUN Christine - *Denticulata auricular *seems to be alright – SUN it’s very much species related so I would use trial and SUN error. The real issue could be the dryness of the soil – add SUN much more organic matter into the pit. SUN SUN Bob – Once daily rinse down the plants with a watering can – SUN in the soil it will be a nutrient but it’s a problem on the SUN leaves. SUN SUN Pippa – *Lamium album *or ‘dead nettle’ are meant to be SUN resistant. SUN SUN SUN Q – What are ladybirds eating in May? Is there anything I SUN can do to encourage them to stay on my allotment? SUN SUN Pippa – There are plenty of green and black fly about by May SUN so they should be ok. SUN SUN Bob – Most of the ladybirds that are over-wintering are SUN positioned on tufts of grass with stinging nettles – when SUN the nettles are 6-12 inches (15-30cm) tall – that is when SUN the aphids appear. SUN SUN SUN Q – We have Mistletoe growing on an Egremont Russett (Apple SUN tree) – is it possible to identify from the leaves if this SUN is a male or female plant? If we do get berries that the SUN birds can eat, can we expect to get more growing on SUN neighbouring trees? SUN SUN Bob – I don’t think you can tell from the leaves – there are SUN many varieties and sub-species – but if it’s growing on an SUN apple tree then it could spread to other apple trees. SUN SUN Pippa – The best way to grow it is to use the fully-ripened SUN berries from the mistletoe on your apple tree and wedge them SUN into cracks on the other trees. SUN SUN Christine – They will normally ripen around March or April – SUN it will lose its shiny appearance and go dull and slightly SUN pearly and that’s the time to stick it in the bark. Birds SUN can clean their beaks on to the trunk and that is how the SUN berries get wedged in. SUN SUN SUN Q – On the other side of my garden fence there is a SUN retaining wall with a drop of 3m (10ft) to the lane below. SUN The concrete wall is an eyesore from the other side – what SUN do the panel suggest that I plant in my garden that will SUN trail and cascade over the wall? SUN SUN Bob – Ivy is tempting but in a wet climate it could take SUN over the rest of the garden – *Clematis montana* might work SUN well – I like the ‘Wilsonii’ variety which has a chocolate SUN smell. SUN SUN Pippa – I would suggest *Clematis montana* ‘Elizabeth’ – SUN which has a lovely perfume. If you wanted something that was SUN more foliage orientated, try *Parthenocissus henryana (*A SUN variety of Chinese Virginia Creeper)* *which is less SUN inclined to be too vigorous. SUN SUN SUN Q – Rats have taken residence in my raised beds – I was SUN hoping to plant vegetables this spring but I’m worried the SUN soil will be contaminated – how long will it take for the SUN soil to be safe to plant in again? Is there anything I can SUN do to decontaminate the soil? SUN SUN Bob – Blood, fish and bone meal in the compost might attract SUN the rats. The organisms in the soil should decompose the SUN diseased organisms from the rats’ urine – but it’s where the SUN rats run on dry sections that they can disperse Weil’s SUN disease from urine on their feet. SUN SUN Pippa – They could be coming through draining holes through SUN the base. I wouldn’t worry too much – water it more than you SUN might have done and put a mulch of new material on the SUN surface to stop splash up onto the leaves of salad crops. SUN SUN SUN Q – Are you meant to oil your tools after using them? And SUN what oil should I use? SUN SUN Bob – It is necessary because wood dries out and can SUN splinter – if it’s oiled then it’s more waterproof and lasts SUN longer. Oil also prevents rusting on clean metal. Don’t use SUN old engine oil as it is really toxic. I use old frying oil – SUN it’s a recycled waste product. SUN SUN Pippa – Inexpensive Rapeseed oil or Vegetable oil will do SUN the trick and is not scented. SUN SUN SUN Q – I have an 11-year-old Geranium which is still flowering SUN but has become quite gangly – I have kept it indoors SUN (east-facing window) – How can I control the spread and make SUN it fuller without killing it? SUN SUN Christine – Just prune it – reduce the plant by half which SUN will create growth from the base of the plant and should SUN thicken it. The *Pelargonium** geranium* should enjoy the SUN dry conditions and can live for years. SUN SUN SUN Q – My friend and I like to rescue dying plants from SUN clearance benches at garden centres, do the panel have any SUN plants they have rescued? And do they have any tips for SUN reviving a plant on the brink of death? SUN SUN Bob – Usually they have dried out – so I recommend gentle SUN watering – stand the plants in their pots in a large bowl of SUN warm water with just a little soap, leave it in there for SUN 30-60 minutes then take it out and drain it. The plant will SUN dry out the compost and then you have to start watering – SUN don’t feed it straight away, only once it starts moving. SUN SUN Pippa – If you are talking bedding plants – deadhead them, SUN water them, give them a bit of feed and many more flowers SUN should appear. SUN SUN Christine – If something is very root-bound (very woody SUN roots coming through the bottom of the pot) they are very SUN difficult to rejuvenate – but if the top growth is looking SUN sad or it has gone over then those are easier to help. Be SUN selective when rescuing. SUN SUN Q – I am currently fighting Himalayan Balsam (*Impatiens SUN glandulifera*) and losing – it is taking over large parts of SUN the garden. I would like to fight back by planting some SUN trees with deep root systems – what can the panel suggest? SUN The bank is sloped, sheltered from the wind and in a sunny SUN position but I live in the Ribble Valley so the trees need SUN to be hardy and enjoy plenty of rain. SUN SUN Christine – You need to get plant material in such as SUN Dogwoods, Willows, Alders and if you coppice them down every SUN year the roots will run well and sucker and bind the soil SUN together. Event plants like the Wild Iris (*Iris SUN pseudacorus**) *and *Hemerocallis* (Daylilies)* *will also SUN bind it. It is relatively simple to pull out the Himalayan SUN Balsam. SUN SUN Bob – On the bank I would use brambles because they will SUN bind the soil, arch over and create shade and should exclude SUN the Himalayan Balsam. SUN SUN Christine – Hand pulling does work but when it is done to SUN natural areas it can cause horrendous damage to flora and SUN fauna. You may have a problem with seeds being washed down SUN and re-arriving. SUN SUN Q – This year my family and I are having a tallest-sunflower SUN competition, we are all growing the same variety called SUN ‘Earthwalker’ which is a hardy annual – could you give me a SUN few tips for how to get the best results? SUN SUN Christine – plenty of feeding and allow the plant to get to SUN 6-9 inches (15-23cm), then use plenty of good quality SUN compost and feed and water like mad. SUN SUN Pippa – Definitely protect it against slugs and snails SUN because particularly when they’re small, they can be lost SUN overnight. If the area is windswept, give them a little bit SUN of support to stop it falling over. SUN SUN Bob – Don’t put any other plants near it, give it 90cm x SUN 90cm (35 x 35 inches) to itself. SUN SUN SUN Q – My local supermarket is giving away used coffee grounds SUN for customers to use in the garden – Do these grounds SUN contain enough Potassium to promote flower and fruit growth? SUN And are they good enough for feeding tomatoes and pots? SUN SUN Pippa – Any organic matter could add something in the way of SUN food materials but it smells when it gets warm in the sun SUN and you would be better off starting your own compost bin. SUN SUN Bob – I would compost them first and because they are dark SUN they will make the compost darker – if you make a darker SUN compost it absorbs more of the warmth and therefore the SUN roots and the soil are warmer. You could spread the coffee SUN grounds around Asparagus plants because the warmer the soil, SUN the earlier the crop. SUN SUN Q – We rescued an avocado seedling from our compost heap and SUN potted it in our conservatory – it’s now over 6ft (1.8m) SUN tall, 4ft (1.2m) wide and has over 5 branches. What do we do SUN now? SUN SUN Bob – I’d try winding them round in a circle because they SUN are flexible and that turns it into a lower tree. It’s SUN seldom going to crop – I would put it in the garden and if SUN it doesn’t survive it’s no great loss. SUN SUN Christine – It can be an enormous tree – up to 50ft (15.2m) SUN high and 30ft (9.1m) wide. SUN SUN SUN Q – My mother, once or twice a year, digs up her slate SUN shingle path around her garden and empty it into buckets. SUN She then proceeds to wash each load thoroughly and leave it SUN in trays to dry in the utility room before returning it to SUN the path – Is this necessary to keep slate clean and free SUN from weeds and bugs? SUN SUN Christine – No, categorically no. SUN SUN Pippa – There is no need. Perhaps make some planting pits in SUN the slate and get plants growing in there.

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.

SUN Most of the new officers will be trained within the next two SUN years after the Prime Minister, David Cameron, set aside SUN £143m to boost the country's armed response capability. SUN But is it enough to meet the challenges they face? SUN The number of firearms officers fell from nearly seven SUN thousand in 2009/10 to under six thousand in 2013/14. SUN And, despite the extra funding, the Police Federation is SUN concerned the new firearms teams will have to come from SUN existing staff. They say that will deplete the number of SUN officers available for other duties. SUN BBC Home Affairs Correspondent Danny Shaw investigates - and SUN he examines growing unease at the way in which those who SUN discharge their weapons are dealt with. SUN Concern has been highlighted by the suspension and arrest of SUN the officer suspected of shooting dead Jermaine Baker in SUN Wood Green in December. SUN Police representatives tell the programme that while they SUN expect their actions to be investigated, people will not SUN come forward to train as firearms officers if they believe SUN they will be treated like a criminal who fires an illegal SUN weapon. SUN The Independent Police Complaints Commission acknowledges SUN that firearms officers work in challenging circumstances but SUN maintains that police shootings resulting in death or SUN serious injury should be independently investigated. SUN So, can the system for holding them to account be improved? SUN Reporter: Danny Shaw Producer: Ian Muir-Cochrane.

MON MON 13:45 England: Made in the Middle b07bthdr (Listen) MON Episode 1 MON MON Historian Helen Castor examines the role of Mercia in the MON creation of England. MON MON There's something reassuringly eternal and MON inevitable-sounding about 'this England', as John of Gaunt MON famously describes it in Shakespeare's Richard II. He says MON it was, 'Built by Nature'. And of course England does have a MON landscape that was shaped by nature, but 'this realm' - the MON kingdom, England as a political entity - is, and already was MON in Gaunt's time, a human construction. MON MON That being the case, Helen Castor asks where was England MON made, and who made it? And the answers come back - in its MON undersung middle parts, by Midlanders. Though we tend to MON think of it in terms of North and South, England was in MON significant part dreamt into being in the imaginations of MON the men and women of the country's heartland, harvested in MON its intensively laboured enclosures, forged in the fiery MON industrial furnaces of the Midlands. MON MON In this first programme, Helen examines the conventional MON idea that England's history as a single, indivisible unit MON began in Wessex, precursor of the modern English South, MON under King Alfred. Major sources for early English history - MON including the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, written in the South - MON underscore this notion. But actually much of the work MON essential to unification happened in the kingdom of Mercia, MON precursor of the modern Midlands. It's just as well that the MON Staffordshire Hoard recently dug itself out of the earth MON after a millennium and more, in order to refocus historical MON attention. The Hoard, consisting of over 1,500 items, was MON discovered in a field a few miles south-west of Lichfield in MON Staffordshire in 2009 and offers irrefutable proof of the MON power and influence of the Midlands in the medieval world.

And it worked - giving a much needed economic boost to MON an ailing economy. Back home, in Brighton and Bremen alike, MON crumpled posters featuring swirling skirts were rescued from MON luggage and left in upstairs bedrooms along with a raffia MON donkey stuffed with dates. MON MON Behind the swirl of skirts, however, was a dictatorship MON which despised the gitanos, or gypsies, who refused to give MON up republican beliefs, leading many into exile. A tame MON version of flamenco was the one delivered to foreigners - MON joining the clichéd image of Spain on the shelf next to the MON castanets. MON MON So did real flamenco survive Franco's dictatorship? It's a MON puzzle Chris Stewart, author of the best-selling series of MON books about his life as a sheep-shearer in Spain, and MON ex-member of Genesis, sets out to unravel on the streets of MON Granada. MON MON As a young man Chris left the UK to join a flamenco guitar MON class in Seville. He quickly realised his skills as a MON guitarist were lacking, but fell under the spell of Spain, MON and flamenco for ever, returning to live there as a farmer MON 27 years ago. MON MON Now he takes Radio 4 listeners on a trail through the MON scorching white alleyways of the Albaicin, into back room MON bars and caves, to find out how the music most powerfully MON identified with the gitanos, is now exported throughout the MON world. There are now more flamenco classes in Japan than in MON Spain. The music has made a come back, although gitano life MON is still often one of the outsider. Local prisons contain MON significantly high proportions of the gitanos, although the MON authorities allow flamenco workshops for those in jail as a MON basic human right, whilst families still pass down their MON skills from generation to generation. MON MON Chris meets the youngest in a long line of gypsy guitarists MON - Juan Habichuela Nieto performing in the open air courtyard MON of the Alhambra; the much lauded singer Juan Pinilla; the MON dancer Chua Alba, who also teaches his own daughter Chloe; MON the grand old man of Sacramonte, Curro Albaicin; and learns MON the poetry of flamenco from Steven Nightingale. Drinking MON more red wine than a wise man should n a hot night, he MON listens to the wavering song of a 99 year old Juan Mesa, MON accompanied by Alvaro, his 19 year old accompanist, in the MON dust riddled guitar shop of Rafa Moreno; before bumping into MON the proud bohemian, the gypsy singer, Cristobal Osorio, MON under the stars, concluding that flamenco is indeed the MON 'Blues of Europe'. MON MON Producer: Sara Jane Hall. MON MON 16:30 Beyond Belief b07btlm7 (Listen) MON Original Sin MON MON The Catholic Church still affirms the doctrine of original MON sin. For more than 1,500 years the Church has maintained MON that the sin of Adam in the Garden of Eden was passed on to MON every subsequent human being.

Ernie Rea and guests discuss the MON religious, social and cultural legacy of the doctrine of MON original sin. MON MON Producer: Dan Tierney MON Series producer: Amanda Hancox.

When they first MON met Ruba had a son, Hassam, and had just given birth to a MON little girl, Alishbah. Tragically both children were MON diagnosed with a rare condition, I-cell disease and have MON since died. Ruba is pregnant again and Winifred talks to her MON about genetic screening and the difficult choices she must MON make. She is married to her cousin and there is a one in MON four chance of her next baby being born with this fatal MON condition. MON MON Researchers in Bradford have documented the incidence of MON genetic abnormalities linked to cousin marriage, which MON doubles the risk of passing on the recessive genes that lead MON to abnormalities. Cystic fibrosis is the one we all know MON about, where two healthy parents carry a recessive gene: in MON Bradford doctors have identified more than 200 rare MON conditions. Data collected by the British Paediatric MON Surveillance Unit has shown since 1997 there have been 902 MON British children born with neurodegenerative conditions, MON with 8% of these in Bradford, which only has 1% of the MON population. MON MON "Everything we do gets translated into practice so that our MON work on congenital anomalies has led to a city register for MON these children and also a Yorkshire register" explains MON Professor Wright, the Director of the Bradford Institute for MON Health Research. On the face of it the risk is not great - a MON 4% risk of having a child with an abnormality if you marry a MON cousin, compared with 2% among the general population. But MON with repeated cousin marriage, the risks stack up in MON families with sometimes devastating results. MON MON The Born in Bradford researchers are determined that theirs MON should be an applied health research study with results MON leading to better services. They have just secured £49 MON million of lottery funding to intervene in the lives of a MON new cohort of mothers as part of the Better Start MON initiative: "We want everything we find out in the research MON studies to be translated into practices that improve the MON health and well-being of people in Bradford and further MON afield" says Professor Wright. MON MON The study was launched in 2007 and provides great insight MON health and lifestyle in the city. About 46 per cent of MON mothers in the study are from Pakistan, providing a MON fascinating insight into a new multi-ethnic generation. The MON impetus for research came from high infant mortality rates - MON double the national average - and so far the data has MON resulted in changes in national policy. Bradford now screens MON all pregnant women for gestational diabetes and Winifred MON meets those being encouraged to change their diet and habits MON to give their babies the best start in life. MON MON Produced by Sue Mitchell.

TUE TUE 11:30 Punk, the Pistols and the Provinces b07byvp2 (Listen) TUE To mark its 40th anniversary, Mark Hodkinson looks at the TUE impact of punk rock outside of London and, in particular, in TUE Yorkshire where the Sex Pistols played their first and last TUE gigs outside the capital. TUE TUE Punk is viewed principally as a London phenomenon. The Sex TUE Pistols in particular are synonymous with the capital, but TUE their UK touring career outside the capital was book-ended TUE by two shows more than 200 miles away. TUE TUE On Wednesday 19 May 1976, six months before the release of TUE their first single, the Sex Pistols performed at Sayer's TUE nightclub in the sleepy market town of Northallerton in TUE North Yorkshire. Just 19 months later, on Christmas Day TUE 1977, the band made their last UK appearance, at Ivanhoe's, TUE a small club in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire. TUE TUE Music fan and experienced journalist/broadcaster, Mark TUE Hodkinson, visit both towns and speaks to people who were at TUE the gigs. He plots the impact of punk in the provinces where TUE thousands of disgruntled teenagers heeded The Clash's TUE entreaty to the 'faraway towns' to 'come out of the TUE cupboard, you boys and girls' ("London Calling"). TUE TUE Brian Simpson was the DJ at Sayer's which, in the weeks TUE leading up to the Sex Pistols visit, had played host to TUE Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders and The Searchers. Along TUE with Steve Williams, who was also at the gig, he remembers TUE people leaving the club in droves when the Sex Pistols began TUE playing. ''We had no idea who they were,'' he says. TUE ''Northallerton was suddenly at the forefront of punk rock TUE but we had no idea that we were. It was about two weeks TUE later when I saw their picture in one of the music papers TUE that I realised I'd seen them play.'' TUE TUE A Smooth Operations production for BBC Radio 4.

If TUE Britain left the eighteenth century the world's foremost TUE industrial power, it was almost entirely thanks to TUE Midlanders. TUE TUE In this programme, Helen tells the story of the Lunar TUE Society - a group of Midland entrepreneurs, enthusiasts and TUE inventors who met up at a location in or near Birmingham TUE once a month, on the Monday nearest the full moon.

TUE The killings made national headlines in 1993 when two MOT TUE inspectors, Alan Singleton and Simon Bruno, were shot dead TUE at a garage in Stockport, in Greater Manchester. TUE The evidence produced in court against Bourke seemed TUE compelling. Two mechanics at the garage said they had seen TUE him carry out the shooting which the prosecution claimed was TUE motivated by a dispute about his licence to carry out MOT TUE tests. TUE As the jury began their deliberations, a gun was found TUE inside Strangeways prison where Bourke was on remand. Amid TUE subsequent heightened security around the court, he was TUE found guilty and given a minimum 25 year sentence. But TUE protesting his innocence all these years means that he may TUE never be eligible for parole so could remain in prison for TUE the rest of his life. TUE His sister Jo has been tirelessly fighting his case. A TUE chiropodist with no connections to criminals, she began TUE visiting notorious drug dealers and suspected killers to try TUE to gather new evidence that would help clear his name. TUE Through the work of Jo and other campaigners, Bourke's case TUE is now back with the Criminal Cases Review Commission which TUE they hope will lead to an appeal.

Probably somewhere in WED the sublime North or the beautiful South. Rarely - despite WED the odd exclamation over the splendours of Warwickshire or WED Shropshire - does anyone speak up for the magnificence of WED the Midlands generally. But historian Helen Castor claims it WED is the Midlands, rather than Kent, deserves the title The WED Garden of England. WED WED For many, the Midlands consists of little more than service WED stations on the M1 or nodes on the rail network. But the WED middle band of the country has actually given birth to many WED of the myths associated with England's green and pleasant WED land. WED WED Why don't more people know this? Helen argues the answer is WED bound up with the Industrial Revolution, and Midlanders' WED commitment to innovation. In order to serve as the nation's WED testing ground for new technologies, Midlanders have WED consistently sacrificed their surroundings. In the WED nineteenth and twentieth centuries, the Industrial and WED Agricultural Revolutions reconfigured the Midland landscape WED and brought passionate responses from the region's greatest WED writers, including the great Northants 'peasant poet', John WED Clare, outraged by the enclosure movement, and the Notts WED radical D H Lawrence, who scorned the ruination of his WED native woods and fields by the coal mines. WED WED The Midland landscape has continued to cast a spell on the WED nation's greatest writers and composers all the same. Edward WED Elgar took his musical cue from the West Midlands, while in WED the imagination of JRR Tolkien the same landscapes gave rise WED to the notion of Hobbits and Middle-earth.

THU THU 11:30 Blue Canvas: The Artist Miles Davis b07c2w62 (Listen) THU Miles Davis remains one of the most influential musicians THU from the last century, despite his death 25 years ago. But THU what's less well known is that he dedicated the final years THU of his life to painting with the same fervent energy he had THU devoted to music. THU THU "A painting is music you can see, and music is a painting THU you can hear." Miles Davis THU THU To mark what would have been his 90th birthday, the New York THU artist Jo Gelbard, who became Miles Davis's companion during THU the last years of his life, tells the story of his little THU known life as a painter, alongside interviews with his THU friends and family. THU THU The story begins with Davis' sudden stroke in 1982, when he THU took up art as a therapy after his illness. Soon after, he THU met Gelbard who was 24 years his junior and they embarked on THU a turbulent relationship which resulted in an extraordinary THU artistic collaboration. THU THU Davis' son Erin recalls how his father always carried two THU things - his trumpet case and his paint brushes - and he sat THU surrounded by canvases in the apartment they shared, THU painting with a furious energy. We also hear from musician THU and painter Robert Wilburn III who spent alot of time with THU Davis during his final decades, discussing the relationship THU between art and music, rhythm, colour and space in his THU performances and his paintings. And the author George Cole, THU who wrote a book about the final years of the trumpeter's THU life, talks about the importance of his art. THU THU Woven into the programme is a soundtrack of Davis' music, THU and clips from a never-before-broadcast interview with the THU writer Scott Gutterman, the author of a book about the THU trumpeter's art, and who recorded with Davis over several THU months shortly before he died in 1991.

THU THU 13:45 England: Made in the Middle b07c3l52 (Listen) THU Episode 4 THU THU Historian Helen Castor looks at the radical middle - the THU revolutionary political gestures that have emanated from THU England's Midlands and redefined the rest of the country. THU THU When some people hear the word Midlands, they think of THU Middle England, a socio-political label applied to people of THU traditional, rather conservative views. But despite lying THU geographically in the middle of the country, Midlanders as a THU tribe are not at all middling in character. The middle of THU England is far from Middle England. THU THU The West Midlands was the engine of parliamentary and civic THU reform in the 19th century. Birmingham, proclaimed the THU Congregational minister Dr Robert Dale, was capable of deeds THU "as great as were done by Pisa, by Florence, by Venice in THU their triumphant days". One of those great deeds was the THU 1832 Reform Act, which created our modern electoral system. THU The foremost public campaigner in securing the reform of the THU franchise was the visionary, Brum-based economist Thomas THU Attwood. "The country owed Reform to Birmingham," declared THU Lord Durham, "and its salvation from revolution." THU THU The East Midlands, home to the nation's great individualists THU - from Robin Hood via Arthur Seaton, the anti-hero of Alan THU Sillitoe's Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, to Margaret THU Thatcher - presents a different case. The beginnings of the THU USA can be traced to the East Midlands' tradition of gritty, THU cussed individualism, and the Separatists who later sailed THU to the untamed expanses of North America aboard the THU Mayflower. The Notts-led Pilgrim Fathers established a THU colony there in 1620 and bequeathed several defining THU legacies to the modern nation - not least the so-called THU 'Mayflower Compact', which laid the basis for the first THU democratically elective government in the New World.

FRI FRI Generations of children have learned much English history FRI from the great Midlander William Shakespeare. Much of the FRI action in his history plays takes place in the Midlands. FRI That's only to be expected, since much of our history has FRI been made there. FRI FRI Many of the decisive battles in English history were fought FRI on Midland soil. In the Civil War, Charles I raised his FRI standard at Nottingham and the conflict was settled to all FRI military intents and purposes at Naseby in Northamptonshire. FRI The climax of Shakespeare's Richard III - the culmination of FRI the Wars of the Roses, fought between the Houses of York and FRI Lancaster but which, geographically, had little to do with FRI the North - famously takes place at Bosworth Field, in South FRI Leicestershire. FRI FRI Helen Castor puts the middle back in England's history by FRI looking at figures such as Richard III, whose bones were FRI recently discovered under a car park in Leicester. FRI Newspapers were full of the arguments to have the bones of FRI this 'vilified Yorkshireman' returned to 'God's own FRI country'. But Richard was a Midlander. As one linguistic FRI expert points out, evidence suggests that he spoke with a FRI Brummie accent. FRI FRI And then of course there's the foremost Midlander, FRI Shakespeare, who from John of Gaunt's 'this England' speech FRI in Richard II to King Harry's pre-Agincourt rallying cry in FRI Henry V, has provided us with the most resonant language in FRI which to express ourselves in times of both tragedy and FRI delight. The Midland Bard, in all his variety, is England. FRI FRI Produced by Robert Shore and Ashley Byrne FRI A Made in Manchester production for BBC Radio 4.
