The profanity-laced and flatulence-filled comic took SAT Britain by storm with its taboo-shattering humour. While its SAT blatant disregard for political correctness turned many away SAT in disgust, its gasp-inducing gags made it one of Britain's SAT best-selling magazines. Nick Baker traces the comic back to SAT its Geordie genesis to ask how something so shockingly SAT vulgar ended up under the mattresses of countless teens and SAT under the eyes of business men pretending to read the SAT Financial Times. SAT SAT Nick's journey begins in Tyneside with the creators of Viz. SAT Brothers Chris and Simon Donald and best friend Jim SAT Brownlow. SAT SAT With the equally loved and hated Fat Slags, Sid the Sexist SAT and Johnny Fartpants by his side, Nick tours the Newcastle SAT underground that served as an incubator for Viz. The naughty SAT and risqué content spread like wildfire in the punk scene. SAT Soon each issue of the DIY magazine was consistently selling SAT over a million copies. SAT SAT As Nick tries to understand this rollercoaster success, he SAT secures exclusive interviews with Viz legends Roger Mellie SAT the Man on the Tellie and Billy the Fish, voiced by Harry SAT Enfield. SAT SAT Viz's outrageous satire got them in trouble with everyone SAT from the United Nations to Scotland Yard. Accusations of SAT racism, sexism, and insensitivity were part of the daily SAT routine at the office. Comedians Richard Herring, Alex Lowe, SAT Lucy Porter and Frank Skinner debate whether these SAT boundaries should exist in the first place. SAT SAT Today, sales of Viz have declined dramatically. Nick SAT discusses its place in the pantheon of British comedy with SAT current editors Graham Dury and Simon Thorp.

SAT SAT Over the course of an all-night classical music concert - or SAT 'conference' - hear some of the best Indian classical SAT musicians on the planet describe the intricacies of their SAT art, and explain why it might not last much longer in a SAT culture short of attention and keen for quick satisfaction. SAT SAT "The whole day is so much full of noise, of work, of SAT distraction ... Indian classical music is more about SAT meditation. Nights give us that tranquillity. The listener SAT needs to be free of his worldly worries, as musicians paint SAT on the canvas of silence." SAT SAT At the Uttarpara Sangeet Chakra Conference, on the bank of SAT the river Ganges just north of Kolkata, sitarists, SAT tabla-players, vocalists and other instrumentalists start at SAT 8pm and try to outplay each other until 7 o'clock in the SAT morning, to an audience of nearly 3,000. In doing so, they SAT re-enact a tradition central to Indian classical music, SAT which was based on such a competitive tradition with artists SAT battling each other in front of a royal court. SAT SAT It's magical, hypnotic, mesmerising - but do modern SAT audiences have the stamina or the will to keep awake for SAT arguably the world's most famous sitar player, Shahid SAT Parvez, at 5 o'clock in the morning? SAT SAT Aditya meets some of the audience members and musicians SAT trying to keep the all-night conference alive, including SAT some of Indian classical music's biggest names - Shahid SAT Parvez, Tanmoy Bose and Ajoy Chakrabarty, as well as the SAT Kolkata-based writer and classically trained singer Amit SAT Chaudhuri.

SAT SAT 17:30 The Bottom Line b07j7j6m (Listen) SAT The Price of Life SAT SAT It's hard to put a value on a human life. When you're well, SAT perhaps you don't think about it. But if you're ill, getting SAT access to the right drugs, whatever the cost, is a priority. SAT But the NHS does not have a bottomless pit of money. And SAT some medicines are judged too expensive to be freely SAT available, so patients miss out on treatments that could SAT save or extend their lives. There are usually two villains SAT of the piece: The drugs companies for charging too much; the SAT NHS for not stumping up the cash. In this edition, Evan SAT Davis and guests explore how pharmaceutical companies price SAT their drugs, the role of the NHS in deciding how much the SAT medicines are worth and, in the case of generic or SAT non-branded drugs, they'll ask whether competition is SAT working properly to keep down the NHS medicines bill.

For good or ill, he transformed the SAT United Kingdom by taking the country into the European SAT Community in 1973. But otherwise his premiership is commonly SAT remembered for its economic 'U-turn', its prices and incomes SAT policy, the miners' strike and the three-day week, SAT culminating in an early election and humiliating defeat. SAT After Heath was ousted as Conservative leader by Margaret SAT Thatcher, he famously devoted himself to the 'incredible SAT sulk' while she became an election-winner and long-serving SAT prime minister. SAT SAT Yet does this view present the full truth of the man and his SAT career - a man who was an accomplished musician, and who SAT also taught himself to sail before becoming a world class SAT yachtsman? Was he also a more successful politician who made SAT a greater impact than is often appreciated? SAT SAT On the centenary of his birth (9 July 1916), Shaun Ley SAT presents a reappraisal of Heath, the man and the leader, SAT drawing on archive recordings and interviews with those who SAT knew him. This portrait explores the enigma of an intensely SAT private man who reached the top in politics and inspired SAT affection among those closest to him, despite his SAT extraordinary social awkwardness and brusque dealings with SAT many others. His contemporaries discuss the personal SAT qualities and flaws that shaped him, and the drive and SAT talent that enabled him to transform the Conservatives into SAT a party of change. The programme also reveals the inside SAT story of the eventual rapprochement between Sir Edward Heath SAT and Baroness Thatcher in their later years. For the first SAT time, a wider audience can hear Margaret Thatcher praising SAT Edward Heath as one of Britain's greatest Prime Ministers. SAT SAT Producer: Rob Shepherd. SAT SAT 21:00 Drama b07hwwjv (Listen) SAT Roald Dahl: Going Solo, Episode 1 SAT SAT To celebrate the centenary year of his birth, a full SAT dramatization of Roald Dahl's gripping autobiographical SAT overseas adventure. SAT SAT Beginning aboard the SS Mantola, Dahl sets sail for Africa SAT at the tender age of 22. He experiences the remnants of SAT colonial British life, filled with eccentric characters, and SAT is thrown into a world as bizarre and surprising as any you SAT will find in his fiction. SAT SAT "Life is made up of a great number of small incidents and a SAT small number of great ones." SAT SAT Stationed in Tanzania, Dahl is faced with the excitement of SAT the wild; lions carrying off women in their mouths; fatal SAT green mambas captured by snake men. But his SAT savannah-sun-drenched life is interrupted when World War II SAT erupts. Dahl is ordered to round up the German inhabitants SAT of Dar es Salaam and experiences first-hand the horror of SAT war. SAT SAT Patrick Malahide provides the voice of Dahl in a colourful SAT adaptation by Lucy Catherine.

SAT SAT 22:15 Moral Maze b07j68nh (Listen) SAT The Chilcot Inquiry SAT SAT 130 sessions of oral evidence,150 witnesses, 150,000 SAT documents, more than 2.5 million words - the Chilcot Report SAT on the Iraq War was finally published on the day of this SAT programme. The inquiry was set up to examine our reasons for SAT taking part in the US-led invasion of Iraq, how the war was SAT prosecuted and its aftermath. But was the decision to go to SAT war morally justified? Chilcot confirms that there was a SAT massive failing in intelligence in the lead-up to the SAT decision to go to war, especially around WMD; it accepts SAT that Tony Blair was acting in good faith and did not SAT deliberately mislead Parliament and the public about that SAT intelligence. The relationship between morality and SAT consequences is complex and sometimes contradictory. If Tony SAT Blair and his government were acting in good faith but the SAT consequences of that war were so catastrophic, can we still SAT describe the decision to go to war as a moral one? If the SAT government were a limited company, isn't this the kind of SAT gross negligence that would lead to directors being SAT prosecuted for corporate manslaughter? On the other hand, if SAT - being wise after the event - we were to hound all SAT politicians for making decisions that went wrong, wouldn't SAT that produce sclerosis and the replacement of democratic SAT judgement with technocracy? Is this a counsel of moral SAT perfection that produces only paralysis of the will? When SAT does ignorance become a moral failing? Is that contingent on SAT outcomes? What if the war had been a success and Iraq SAT transformed into a flourishing democracy? Would we still be SAT worrying about whether it was moral? Would we have spent SAT £10m on an inquiry about it? Chaired by Michael Buerk with SAT Michael Portillo, Matthew Taylor, Giles Fraser and Melanie SAT Phillips. Witnesses are Prof Michael Clarke, John Rentoul, SAT Haider Al Safi and Dr Dan Bulley.

They are tenants on a SUN coastal farm exposed to the elements with challenging SUN topography. When they inherited it the soils were thin and SUN stony - now they're using agro-ecological practices to boost SUN its fertility and bring more wildlife back onto the farm. SUN SUN They've adopted a bold way of managing the land and the SUN livestock; the method of Holistic Planned Grazing, also SUN nicknamed mob grazing, which mimics how wild herds feed and SUN move. Their flock of 600 sheep graze a paddock for a day SUN before being moved on to fresh pasture. The sheep then won't SUN come back to that patch of land for another 4 months, giving SUN the pasture time to recover, simultaneously creating new SUN topsoil and organic matter. It's a method first developed by SUN Allan Savory inspired by herds on the African savannah, and SUN Rebecca has adapted it to work specifically for Village SUN Farm. Sarah joins Rebecca for the daily move of sheep and SUN hears why she gave up filming BBC wildlife documentaries SUN with David Attenborough to return to her farming roots.

The programme SUN explores the complex life of Dorothy Lawrence, the English SUN reporter who secretly posed as a man to become a soldier in SUN the Battle of the Somme one hundred years ago. SUN SUN Born in London in 1896, Lawrence was abandoned by her mother SUN and adopted by a guardian of the Church of England.

Anyhow, I mean to get into SUN the very thick of it. And if I die or if I am killed, well, SUN I die, and my corruptible hide simply parts company with me” SUN INTRODUCTION: KIRSTY THORPE SUN Good morning. A hundred years ago, during the Battle of the SUN Somme, the words ‘walking wounded’ gave hope to relatives SUN waiting for news of loved ones. But all of us, at times, can SUN be walking wounded in different ways – physical or SUN emotional. Unbeknownst to all but a few of the thousands of SUN soldiers fighting on the Front line in 1916, there was a SUN woman in British army uniform among their ranks. Dorothy SUN Lawrence – whose words we heard read just a moment ago - SUN went to France as an undercover reporter, escaping an SUN earlier life blighted by sexual violence. Dorothy’s story, SUN and the pain of other victims of coercive and abusive SUN people, men and women, will be explored in today’s service. SUN SUN It sometimes seems that people who have been subjected to SUN abuse find themselves being victimized time and time again. SUN Our worship explores what it means to ask that God might SUN ‘Deliver us from evil’. SUN SUN Let us pray. SUN SUN Gracious God, SUN in Jesus Christ you enter our broken, pain-filled world, SUN bringing healing and hope, truth and light. SUN We ask your forgiveness for the part we have played - both SUN men and women - in hurting others, SUN and remember before you our tendency to hurt ourselves. SUN Give us your strength SUN as we confront evil, SUN your persistence SUN as we challenge oppression, SUN your loving protection SUN as we enter dangerous places SUN in order to witness to your truth. SUN In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen. SUN SUN HYMN: THE KING OF LOVE (St Columba) SUN SUN Henry Williams Baker (1821-1877) SUN KIRSTY SUN Dorothy Lawrence was born in Hendon in North London in 1896. SUN Abandoned by her mother, or perhaps because her mother had SUN died, she was adopted by a guardian of the Church of SUN England. When she left school, she had a strong desire to SUN become a journalist. In 1914, she was living in Paris when SUN World War One was declared. She contacted several British SUN newspapers offering to work as a war correspondent but they SUN all refused to employ a woman, considering it to be very SUN dangerous work. But she would not be deterred. SUN SUN SUN SUN RECORDED INSERT: TRACK 2 (ACTOR) SUN “I’ll see what an ordinary English girl, without SUN credentials or money, can accomplish. If war-correspondents SUN cannot get out there, I’ll see whether I cannot go one SUN better than these big men with their cars, credentials, and SUN money. I’ll see what I can manage as a war correspondent!” SUN KIRSTY SUN She convinced some British army soldiers to smuggle her a SUN uniform, she flattened her figure with a home-made corset, SUN and persuaded two Scottish military policemen to cut her SUN long, brown hair in short military style. She roughed her SUN pale skin with a razor blade in the hope of giving herself a SUN shaving rash, and to this added shoe-polish tan. She took up SUN the name Denis Smith, managed to obtain some fake army SUN papers, and signed up. SUN SUN Weeks later, Dorothy reached the town of Albert on the SUN Somme, and then spent quite a short time on the front line. SUN RECORDED INSERT: TRACK 3 (ACTOR) SUN “Approximately four hundred yards from the German front line SUN I put in most of my time as a British soldier. I divided the SUN ten days and nights either alone in the open of no man’s SUN land, under simultaneous fire of shell, rifle and shrapnel, SUN or within one of three dugouts appropriated at night for my SUN own use; though several nights I slept alone, under fire, SUN among the ruins.” SUN KIRSTY SUN After reaching the front she was quickly found out, and SUN detained in a French convent. Dorothy was only released when SUN she signed an affidavit promising not to reveal publically SUN how she had eluded the military. On her return to Britain SUN she tried to publish an account of her time at the Somme, SUN but it was banned by the War Office. SUN RECORDED INSERT: TRACK 4 (ACTOR) SUN “In making that promise I sacrificed the chance of earning SUN by newspaper articles written on this escapade, as a girl SUN compelled to earn her livelihood” SUN KIRSTY SUN She later managed to write a book about her experiences, but SUN it was so heavily censored it didn’t become the commercial SUN success that she both wanted and needed. SUN SUN With no income and her journalistic credibility in ruins, SUN her life took a turn for the worse. By 1925, some ten years SUN later, her increasingly unpredictable behaviour was brought SUN to the attention of the authorities. She confided in a SUN doctor that she had been raped in her teenage years by her SUN church guardian. She was not believed, she was taken into SUN care, and deemed insane. She remained in a lunatic asylum SUN for many years, until hear death in 1964. She was buried in SUN an unmarked pauper’s grave. SUN CHOIR: MISERERE MEI – WILLIAM BYRD SUN KIRSTY SUN Miserere Mei by the 17th century English composer William SUN Byrd, with words from Psalm 51, ‘Have mercy upon me O God, SUN after thy Great Goodness’. Our preacher today is Natalie SUN Collins, who works to prevent domestic abuse and violence SUN against women. But before that, a reading from the Old SUN Testament. SUN SUN SUN SUN READING: GENESIS 16.1-6 SUN A reading from the Book of Genesis, Chapter Sixteen, SUN beginning at the first verse. SUN SUN Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, bore him no children. She had an SUN Egyptian slave-girl whose name was Hagar, and Sarai said to SUN Abram, ‘You see that the LORD has prevented me from bearing SUN children; go in to my slave-girl; it may be that I shall SUN obtain children by her.’ And Abram listened to the voice of SUN Sarai. So, after Abram had lived for ten years in the land SUN of Canaan, Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her SUN slave-girl, and gave her to her husband Abram as a wife. He SUN went in to Hagar, and she conceived; and when she saw that SUN she had conceived, she looked with contempt on her mistress. SUN Then Sarai said to Abram, ‘May the wrong done to me be on SUN you! I gave my slave-girl to your embrace, and when she saw SUN that she had conceived, she looked on me with contempt. May SUN the LORD judge between you and me!’ But Abram said to Sarai, SUN ‘Your slave-girl is in your power; do to her as you please.’ SUN Then Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she ran away from SUN her. SUN SERMON PART 1 – Natalie Collins SUN SUN The story of Dorothy Lawrence reminds me of that of Hagar, SUN the Egyptian slave of Abraham’s wife Sarah. When Hagar SUN became pregnant her relationship with Sarah broke down, so SUN pregnant, powerless and abused she fled into the desert to SUN escape mistreatment. SUN SUN Dorothy Lawrence’s story is amazing and heart wrenching. SUN But, like Hagar, she lived many years ago and it would be SUN easy to imagine the painful parts of her story relegated to SUN the past – to distance ourselves from the horrors that she SUN endured. But my work with women and children who have been SUN subjected to abuse, suggests otherwise. Indeed, my own SUN story, and that of countless others around the world, echoes SUN both that of Dorothy Lawrence, and of Hagar. I was brought SUN up in a Christian household, and the teaching I received in SUN church disabled me from recognising the abuse that I was SUN subjected to. How, after that, could I possibly continue to SUN follow Jesus or the Christian faith? SUN SUN So the story of Hagar is a powerful one for me. The reading SUN we’ve just heard continues as Hagar fled into the desert. As SUN she sat devastated near a spring, an angel appeared to her. SUN And the angel told her – amazingly - that she would be SUN blessed. SUN SUN “I will increase your descendants so much that they will be SUN too numerous to count.” The angel of the Lord also said to SUN her: “You are now pregnant and you will give birth to a son. SUN You shall name him Ishmael, for the Lord has heard of your SUN misery.” SUN SUN Ishmael means “God hears”. This woman, powerless and SUN abused; and God, Creator of all, appeared to her and told SUN her He had heard her! SUN SUN And Hagar spoke to God. She said, “I have now seen the One SUN who sees me.” Hagar, abused and alone, is the first person SUN in the Bible to give God a name, - a highly significant act SUN in ancient middle eastern cultures for whom God was so holy SUN he could hardly BE named. Hagar’s relationship with God was SUN enduring, despite what she’d been through. How SUN characteristic of our loving God to take the initiative, SUN appearing to Hagar as he did, affirming her personal SUN significance strongly and profoundly. SUN SUN For me too, it was through Jesus that I found a new way to SUN live, with life in all its fullness. I came to realise that SUN some of the horrid things which had been done to me - did SUN not diminish my significance as a human being, that in God, SUN wholeness and healing can be found and this God was the God SUN who heard me. SUN SUN My personal journey and professional expertise led me to SUN found and run a consultancy to enable individuals and SUN organisations to prevent and respond to male violence SUN against women and also to found a youth domestic abuse and SUN exploitation education programme. And though we must SUN recognise the gendered nature of abuse, it has never been SUN solely women who are subjected to abuse; men, and children SUN of both genders are too. It is not before time that our SUN society is becoming more sensitized to and aware of such SUN issues, including in our churches and religious communities, SUN and taking steps to safeguard the vulnerable and young. SUN SUN People often ask why God doesn’t just stop bad things SUN happening, if He is real. As Teresa of Avila famously said, SUN “Christ has no body now but yours. No hands, no feet on SUN earth but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks SUN compassion on this world. Yours are the feet with which he SUN walks to do good. SUN Yours are the hands through which he blesses all the world. SUN Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, yours are the eyes, SUN you are his body. Christ has no body now on earth but SUN yours.” SUN HYMN (CHOIR ONLY): WHO CAN SOUND THE DEPTHS OF SORROW SUN (Kendrick) SUN Graham Kendrick SUN BIBLE READING: LUKE 10.25-37 SUN A reading from the Gospel according to Luke, Chapter 10, SUN beginning at the 25th verse. SUN SUN A lawyer stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he said, “what SUN must I do to inherit eternal life?” He said to him, “What is SUN written in the law? What do you read there?” He answered, SUN “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and SUN with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all SUN your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.” And he said to SUN him, “You have given the right answer; do this, and you will SUN live.” SUN But wanting to justify himself, he asked Jesus, “And who is SUN my neighbor?” Jesus replied, “A man was going down from SUN Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hands of robbers, SUN who stripped him, beat him, and went away, leaving him half SUN dead. Now by chance a priest was going down that road; and SUN when he saw him, he passed by on the other side. So likewise SUN a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by SUN on the other side. But a Samaritan while traveling came near SUN him; and when he saw him, he was moved with pity. He went to SUN him and bandaged his wounds, having poured oil and wine on SUN them. Then he put him on his own animal, brought him to an SUN inn, and took care of him. The next day he took out two SUN denarii, gave them to the innkeeper, and said, ‘Take care of SUN him; and when I come back, I will repay you whatever more SUN you spend.’ Which of these three, do you think, was a SUN neighbour to the man who fell into the hands of the SUN robbers?” He said, “The one who showed him mercy.” Jesus SUN said to him, “Go and do likewise.” SUN SUN SERMON PART 2 – Natalie Collins SUN SUN The story of the Good Samaritan encapsulates for all time SUN Jesus’ own understanding: Namely that compassion can be SUN exercised in surprising ways by surprising people, including SUN those we might ourselves most naturally despise, be SUN suspicious of, or exclude. How badly do we need to hear that SUN message in our society that feels increasingly beset by SUN divisions! How important is it for us to break down walls of SUN suspicion between all sorts of groupings – be they of class, SUN politics, race, gender or sexuality, at this particular SUN moment in our national life. It’s good to remember that SUN Dorothy’s story also involved people who saw her as their SUN neighbour, both men and women, who got involved and SUN supported her. A man called Tom found her a safe place to SUN sleep when she was in the trenches. Ten men Dorothy SUN described as the “khaki accomplices” also helped her when SUN she was in the trenches.. Emmeline Pankhurst, listened to SUN her, believed her and gave her an opportunity to speak about SUN her experiences. SUN SUN There are so many women, and men, like Dorothy. They are SUN our neighbours, friends, work colleagues and family members SUN in need. We pass them in the street and sit next to them on SUN the bus. SUN SUN The story of the Good Samaritan reminds me of a woman I met SUN some years ago. Her husband was an elder in their church. SUN For twenty years he had abused her. And when she finally SUN left him, the people in the church abandoned her. She told SUN me that the church women literally walked by on the other SUN side of the road when they saw her. “And do you know who SUN helped me?” She asked. Her voice rose louder, “An atheist, SUN a group of Hindu people and a homosexual couple. They are SUN the ones who helped me.” SUN SUN It’s my experience that in many ways some church communities SUN have been disabled from effectively supporting those who are SUN subjected to abuse, often having sided with the SUN perpetrator. This is not limited to the church, many SUN communities and individuals would prefer to imagine that SUN abuse happens “out there” to people unlike them. Yet the SUN church has a history of mistreating, not only children, but SUN women too. Tertullian said that woman is a temple built SUN over a sewer, St Augustus Magnus said woman is a misbegotten SUN man and Martin Luther said women should remain at home and SUN sit still. Although there has been much progress since SUN these early church fathers, I think we still have a long way SUN to go until women are understood and respected as within our SUN churches, and the wider world. SUN SUN Fortunately there are also many, many Good Samaritans across SUN our communities, and there is so much good to celebrate. SUN It’s noteworthy that Jesus tells the parable of the Good SUN Samaritan in response to a question ‘What must I do to SUN inherit eternal life’? This is so important it affects our SUN salvation, as individuals, as communities. Being Good SUN Samaritans - taking notice of the marginalized or abused, SUN being a good neighbour in every way to those around us - is SUN our very spiritual life blood! Christ has no body but us on SUN this earth, we are Christ’s eyes and we must be a people who SUN see the Dorothy’s. We must be willing to take seriously the SUN stories of those like Dorothy and we must help them to see SUN that God does indeed see them, as Hagar herself came to SUN understand. He sees, He cares. When we ourselves see them SUN and we get involved we become Christ’s hand, holding theirs SUN in ours. We become Christ’s feet walking with them. SUN SUN If you are hurting today, know that God knows you and sees SUN you, and loves you.

And so to our prayers. SUN READER 1 SUN We bring our prayers for the victims of violence in our SUN world, SUN children subjected to abuse and neglect of all kinds, SUN women and men trapped by unloving relationships, SUN relatives, neighbours, and others within communities, SUN who suspect or know something is wrong behind closed doors, SUN but may not see a way to deliver those in suffering SUN from the evil they are subjected to. SUN CHOIR: PRAYER RESPONSE – NADA TE TURBE (TAIZE) SUN SUN READER 2 SUN We pray for those choosing to be abusive, violent, SUN controlling or hurtful to others, that they would be SUN convicted to stop and that as a community we would not SUN collude with abusers' behaviour. SUN We remember before God those who are drawn to challenge SUN oppression – SUN social workers, counsellors, doctors and nurses, SUN lawyers, police officers, teachers and refuge workers – SUN asking that their sensitivity may not be blunted SUN by the things they uncover, SUN and that their commitment may not be diminished SUN by the scale of the evil they confront. SUN CHOIR: PRAYER RESPONSE – NADA TE TURBE (TAIZE) SUN READER 1 SUN We pray for ourselves, recognizing the inner conflicts we SUN often face SUN when we are subjected to pressure or manipulative behavior SUN by others. SUN Help us to confront what we are denying, SUN to allow your healing to touch and transform what faces us, SUN and to receive the peace, love and joy SUN which you alone can give us. SUN SUN CHOIR: PRAYER RESPONSE – NADA TE TURBE (TAIZE) SUN SUN READER 2 SUN Bringing together all our prayers, we join in the words that SUN Jesus taught us. SUN Our Father, SUN 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 SUN 13:30 Black Flight and the New Suburbia b07jwt5s (Listen) SUN In Britain, multiculturalism is no longer confined to urban SUN areas. Black, Asian and minority ethnic people are leaving SUN inner cities in large numbers and heading for the suburbs. SUN SUN As new research forecasts high levels of internal migration SUN over the next forty years, Hugh Muir examines why this is SUN happening and what it will mean for our traditional view of SUN quintessential suburbia. SUN SUN In his 1973 documentary Metro-land, Sir John Betjeman SUN romanticised the suburbs of Middlesex created by the SUN Metropolitan railway. Betjeman celebrated the mundane SUN streets where all the people and houses looked the same; the SUN interchangeable parks and churches, the slow pace of life. SUN The suburbs enticed workers out of cramped homes in the city SUN to suburban semis built on the principle of defensible space SUN and home-as-castle. 'White flight' was born. SUN SUN Fast forward to 2016. The suburbs have a very different look SUN and are anything but mundane. Large numbers of Black and SUN Asian people have moved out of Britain's city centres to SUN leafy suburbia. SUN SUN Hugh examines this drift away from the inner-cities by SUN meeting those who have made the leap, and those that plan SUN to. He asks what has changed, in both mindset and SUN infrastructure, to enable this movement to happen. SUN SUN With so many people leaving the city, he asks if we need to SUN stop using 'urban' as a byword for ethnic minority.

SUN SUN 14:00 Gardeners' Question Time b07j7nv5 (Listen) SUN Galleries of Justice, Nottingham SUN SUN Eric Robson and the panel answer horticultural questions SUN from the Galleries of Justice, Nottingham. Dealing with the SUN queries this week are Bob Flowerdew, Anne Swithinbank and SUN Pippa Greenwood SUN SUN Produced by Dan Cocker SUN Assistant producer: Laurence Bassett SUN SUN A Somethin' Else production for BBC Radio 4. SUN SUN Fact Sheet SUN Q – My washing machine has recently died on me – any SUN suggestions for the stainless steel drum? SUN SUN SUN Bob – They make fantastic planters. You’ll need to line it SUN with some old sacking or an old t-shirt. Plants that like SUN aerated soil will like it – Citrus plants for example. A SUN good thing to do is plant a Fig tree in them – the roots can SUN get out but they do cut themselves off so it stays quite SUN small. SUN SUN SUN Q – We’ve got an alley which is in the sunshine for most of SUN the day. Are there any fruit/veg that I can grow in SUN containers here? SUN SUN SUN Pippa – Try rotating containers – so move containers from SUN the alleyway to sunnier bits of the garden regularly. Paint SUN the walls white. Attempt things which are leafy – so salad SUN crops, beet, spinach – something that is up and ready to eat SUN quickly. SUN SUN SUN SUN Bob – You’ll have no problem growing redcurrants, SUN blackcurrants, or whitecurrants in big containers. You’ll SUN need netting to keep birds off and they won’t be as sweet as SUN ones in the sun but they’ll grow fine in the shade. SUN SUN SUN SUN Eric – You’re going to need a sack barrow for moving SUN containers around. SUN SUN SUN SUN Anne – I would green herbs – mint, parsley – they grow well SUN in semi shade. Maybe even coriander too. SUN SUN SUN Q – My tomatoes are spindly and feeble, what can I do to SUN give them a boost? They are ‘Gardener’s Delight’ and SUN ‘Moneymaker’ varieties. I’ve tried dilute Comfrey juice but SUN to no avail. SUN SUN SUN Pippa – Are they getting enough light? SUN SUN SUN SUN Bob – It’s been a hard year for tomatoes. I normally manage SUN to get mine in June – in very very good years in May. This SUN year I only brought some in last week. This is due to cold SUN and low light. Nitrogen will do them some good. SUN SUN SUN SUN Anne – You could use a well-balanced general-purpose liquid SUN feed. SUN SUN SUN Q – We’ve noticed a curious corkscrewing of the leaves of SUN our seed-raised onions over the last two years. We practice SUN crop rotation, the varieties are ‘Walla walla’, ‘Ailsa SUN Craig’, and ‘Bedfordshire Champion’. What is it? SUN SUN SUN Pippa - I think this is due to an Eelworm infestation. SUN There’s a wonderful little Eelworm called *Ditylenchus SUN dipsaci *that adores onions. Unfortunately, there’s nothing SUN you can do about it. SUN SUN SUN Q - Last November we had a Wisteria, Clematis and a Jasmine SUN removed from an arbour. We discovered that the bed is only SUN about 1.3m x 0.5m (4.2ft x 1.6ft). Has the patch been left SUN long enough to plant a Climbing Rose there? SUN SUN SUN Anne – You could have put a Rose in almost straight away to SUN be honest as it’s a different plant family to any of the SUN others. Any idea what you’ll plant? SUN SUN SUN SUN Q – ‘Generous Gardener’ SUN SUN SUN SUN Anne – Great choice. SUN SUN SUN Q – We have a newly planted orchard with about ten mixed SUN Apple, Pear and Cherry trees. One of the ‘William’ Pears SUN has rust spots – is this going to hurt the tree and will it SUN spread to the others? SUN SUN SUN Pippa – It’s an interesting rust – almost eerie and SUN finger-like in looks. There is no control for it. Collect SUN and pick up infected sections and bin/burn. Chances of it SUN spreading to other Pear trees is high but the others should SUN be fine. Rust fungi all love damp/gloomy weather like we’ve SUN had recently – so if weather improves or if you can improve SUN circulation that will help keep it in check. SUN SUN SUN Q – I have never been able to grow sweet peas in pots. Can SUN you help? SUN SUN SUN Anne – It’s possible to grow in a pot but it would be much SUN easier in the ground. They like really well-conditioned soil SUN – the more organic matter the better. Best place is in a SUN kitchen garden or allotment. For a pot you’ll need a SUN container of 45-60cm (17inch-23inch) across, good potting SUN compost (50/50 John Innes No 2/and soilless potting mix and SUN some of my own garden compost too. I’d use Beech/Hazel from SUN the garden for supports. Sow in October or February. Put SUN them in long modules. Then lift the roots out carefully, SUN never let them get dry, as soon as they’ve begun to climb SUN give them liquid feed. They’re not going to grow in compost SUN alone. SUN SUN SUN Q – I leave the seed heads on my Alliums – because they’re SUN attractive and for the birds – but their numbers are SUN reducing. Should I deadhead them? ‘Purple Sensation’ in SUN particular has dwindled. SUN SUN SUN Bob – I leave them because they’re good for the insects. SUN Leaving the flower on is brilliant but as soon as it forms SUN seed it takes energy out of the bulb. So chop as soon as it SUN finishes flowering. SUN SUN SUN SUN Anne – I think the soil is too wet in winter and some of the SUN bigger bulbs are rotting off. Raising the bed up slightly, SUN say 6-8 inches (15-20cm), would help. SUN SUN SUN SUN Pippa – If you’re mulching be careful not to suffocate the SUN bulbs. Whack on some sulphate of potash too. SUN SUN SUN Q – Which weed, if you had to pick one, would you most like SUN to destroy? SUN SUN SUN Pippa – I can’t just pick one! Stinging Nettles and ‘Hairy SUN Bittercress’ SUN SUN SUN SUN Anne – A Creeping Cinqefoil called *Potentilla reptans* SUN SUN SUN SUN Bob – I don’t like ones with thorns and those little ones SUN like the *Potentillas* and the *Oxalis* SUN SUN SUN Eric – Bracken SUN SUN SUN SUN SUN SUN SUN 14:45 The Listening Project b07jwt5v (Listen) SUN Fi Glover with conversations about how long one can usefully SUN pursue amateur dramatics, cabaret and choosing a career as a SUN performer, in the Omnibus of the series that proves it's SUN surprising what you hear when you listen.

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 SUN The Edible Dormouse is no Common Dormouse. He is Russian and SUN extremely serious-minded. He is obsessed with answering the SUN question, "Why are we here?" both the philosophical question SUN and the literal one. No answer satisfies him. So he has SUN reached his own conclusion, which involves secret agents and SUN a submarine. "I may be rare, cute-looking, and of SUN indisputable foreign origin, but I am not stupid." He is SUN planning a meeting with his fellow Edible Dormice to discuss SUN their next move. He knows this won't be easy. The others SUN think he is mad. Top of the agenda is what they should call SUN themselves. "Imagine how it feels to be one of the only SUN zoological species in existence whose very name says, "Have SUN you ever thought of eating me?" SUN SUN The Peacock Butterfly is youthful, intelligent, and ever so SUN concerned with being brave and sensible about mortality. SUN Having been born the previous year, she is re-visiting the SUN attic before dying. "I remember when I first came in, I SUN thought hello, this wouldn't be a bad place to pop off, when SUN the time comes." But trying to be brave about her inevitable SUN end is much harder than she expects, "Well, I'm sorry to say SUN that for some completely inexplicable reason I totally lost SUN it at the sycamore!

They had heard Indian MON community leader, Stan Thekaekara when he gave a guest MON presentation at Oxford University's Said Business School and MON were impressed by the work he was doing. He and his wife MON Mari have been alongside the Adivasi community in the MON Nilgiri Hills for more than three decades, working with MON those living in more than 300 villages and settlements MON stretching over a 40 mile radius. They set up a charity to MON help tribal villagers reclaim land and businesses to trade MON in tea and honey, for example. They have also overseen new MON community provisions, including a school and a well-regarded MON hospital. MON MON As a former merchant banker Christopher already had MON experience of working abroad and being thrown in at the deep MON end. He had overseen the setting up of Warburg's Tokyo MON branch and it was in Japan that he and Phillida met. When he MON retired from banking he turned his hand to charity work, MON opening the Handel House Museum in London and working to MON help disadvantaged youngsters get into University and adjust MON to life there. He and Phillida decided to commit to MON sustained periods of volunteering in India with Stan and his MON community. They also thought that some of their retired MON friends might also like to help and the idea of the guest MON house was born. MON MON The couple have put in a third of the money needed to buy MON the land and build the guest house and are lending a further MON third to the charity they've set up to oversee things. They MON want to raise the last £100,000 from friends and people they MON know, in part because it signifies a commitment and desire MON to join the venture. As Grace Dent hears, this will enable MON people with a range of skills can join together to help and MON it will also be fun sharing the guest house with like-minded MON people. There will be terraces, an area for yoga and even MON for Ayurveda medicine and meals will be specially prepared MON in the purpose built kitchens. MON MON The unveiling of the idea to friends is met with a mixed MON response: on the one hand some are happy to commit to the MON kind of time share arrangement proposed, with £6,000 MON securing a month's stay every year for a decade. Others are MON more reluctant without visiting first and instead offer MON donations to help get things started. With the Monsoon fast MON approaching the work on clearing the land needs to start for MON things to be up and running on time.

TUE TUE The UK government says it regularly raises Britons' cases - TUE and allegations of mistreatment - with the UAE authorities. TUE But those who've been stuck there tell File on 4 they didn't TUE get the support they needed and expected when they were TUE suffering, despite the authorities here knowing the risks TUE they faced.

WED This is a complex and elaborate affair, which includes the WED males vibrating his front legs in arcs on the water surface. WED After mating, the female lays her eggs in an egg sac and WED spins a nursery web in which to protect them. The webs are WED usually spun on vegetation above the water's surface, but WED Helen also had one in tank so Chris was able to examine the WED tiny spiderlings which had hatched from the egg case. Back WED out on the fens, Chris also lowered a couple of underwater WED microphones (hydrophones) into a ditch and captured the WED extraordinary world of sound in which these creatures live WED as diving beetles, backswimmers and water boatman WED communicated to one another below the water surface.

THU Defoe's A Journal of the Plague Year (1722), an account of THU the bubonic epidemic, is still often read as reportage, but THU was "faction" based on extensive research. His book, A Tour THU Through the Whole Isles of Great Britain (1724), can be seen THU as one of the beginnings of travel writing and The Complete THU English Tradesman (1726) is one of the first business or THU economic texts. As the author of more than 500 pamphlets, THU Defoe is also a forefather of British journalism. THU THU In the company of writers, biographers, critics, and THU cartoonists, Mark Lawson tells the story of the man who THU never stopped telling stories.

It is a form of expression that THU goes back 40,000 years and began on the walls of caves. But THU why do we draw? Is it to make our mark on the world, to THU decorate our surroundings, or is it a way of communicating THU with others when words fail us? THU Lucy Ash talks to Stephen Wiltshire, world famous for his THU incredibly detailed pen and ink cityscapes; to David Hockney THU renowned for both his traditional draughtsmanship and his THU enthusiasm for new technology, and to Lizzie Ellis, who THU comes from a remote community in central Australia and draws THU with a stick, telling stories through her traditional form THU of Aboriginal women's art.

THU THU New Quay is home to the Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre, THU which was set up in 1996 by Steve Hartley, a former THU fisherman, because he wanted people to know about the THU amazing array of marine wildlife he saw from his fishing THU boat. Fishing trips turned into dolphin-watching trips, and THU now Steve takes researchers out regularly to monitor the THU marine wildlife. The Centre has become a hub of scientific THU research and is now part of the Wildlife Trust of South and THU West Wales. It's manned by volunteers and just a couple of THU paid scientific officers. Dolphins are a key part of the THU economy of the area, bringing tourists and visitors who hope THU to catch a glimpse of these charismatic animals from the THU harbour wall. THU THU Patrick, a guest presenter on Open Country, has had a THU fascination for marine mammals since his childhood, when his THU parents took him to a safari park.

FRI FRI The NHS was a huge improvement for the general population, FRI for hospitals and hospital doctors. But it was rather FRI different for GPs as their private fees disappeared and FRI their workload multiplied with all the chronic disease that FRI had previously gone untreated. General practice was FRI under-funded and under-loved. Scathing reports of dingy, FRI ill-equipped surgeries, along with repeated bouts of GP FRI unrest, finally brought about the Family Doctors Charter in FRI 1966, leading to a much better period of subsidised health FRI centres and staffing. FRI FRI Modernisation came thick and fast from the late 1980s, with FRI some GPs controversially given budgets to choose services FRI for their patients. Relaxation of the "out of hours" FRI obligation saw practices forming co-operatives to handle FRI evening and weekend calls and, from 2004, the responsibility FRI for providing 24 hour care was removed from GPs entirely. FRI FRI But unrest has continued, with many training places FRI unfilled, GP posts vacant, and some practices closing FRI altogether. The programme explores how the profession FRI evolved into its present state.

FRI FRI 1/6: This first edition of the brand-new series sees John FRI create an innovative teaching aid; eavesdrop on two guards FRI who really should be paying more attention; and, well, since FRI you ask him for a tale of honour satisfied, he does have one FRI such sketch. FRI FRI The first series of John Finnemore's Souvenir Programme was FRI described as "sparklingly clever" by The Daily Telegraph and FRI "one of the most consistently funny sketch shows for quite FRI some time" by The Guardian. The second series won Best Radio FRI Comedy at both the Chortle and Comedy.co.uk awards, and was FRI nominated for a Radio Academy award. The third series FRI actually won a Radio Academy award.

The conversations are being gathered across the UK FRI by teams of producers from local and national radio stations FRI who facilitate each encounter. Every conversation - they're FRI not BBC interviews, and that's an important difference - FRI lasts up to an hour, and is then edited to extract the key FRI moment of connection between the participants. Most of the FRI unedited conversations are being archived by the British FRI Library and used to build up a collection of voices FRI capturing a unique portrait of the UK in the second decade FRI of the millennium. You can learn more about The Listening FRI Project by visiting bbc.co.uk/listeningproject FRI FRI Producer: Marya Burgess. FRI
