Mike Gwilym stars as Joseph K. with SAT Miriam Margolyes as Leni, a nurse who becomes his lover. SAT Dramatised for radio by the award-winning writer and SAT dramatist Hanif Kureishi. SAT The story of The Trial epitomises something that is SAT Kafkaesque, a world of little hope, much despair and small SAT men pitted against the power of a state. Written in German, SAT Kafka always called the book Der Process, but it was changed SAT to The Trial in translation. It was written in 1914 but not SAT published until a year after his death in 1925. Kafka used SAT his own exhausting experiences of a legal case to inform the SAT novel. SAT First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 1982.

SAT SAT 08:00 Archive on 4 b01p2vtz (Listen) SAT Great Spy Books: Fact or Fiction? SAT Peter Hennessy, the leading expert on state secrecy, asks SAT how close the great British spy novels come to reality and SAT explores what they reveal about intelligence and security. SAT By drawing on official papers and what were once top secret SAT intelligence documents, and by interviewing former diplomats SAT and former officers in MI5 and MI6, he compares and SAT contrasts fiction with real espionage. SAT Much of the appeal lies in their apparent authenticity. But SAT how much do James Bond or George Smiley resemble real spies? SAT And is fact sometimes stranger than fiction? SAT Peter Hennessy shows that spy books in the early 1900s made SAT a big impact, influencing Britain's first secret service SAT bureau, the forerunner of MI5 and MI6. He traces the SAT development of spy fiction from its early days to the more SAT nuanced spy stories of Somerset Maugham in 'Ashenden' and of SAT Eric Ambler's 1930s' novels. Their more subtle approach is SAT echoed by Graham Greene and John le Carre, whereas Ian SAT Fleming's hero, James Bond, is part spy, part assassin. Cold SAT War novels reflect the deep fear of nuclear war and of SAT betrayal by double-agents ('moles'), but can modern spy SAT fiction achieve the same degree of intrigue and suspense?

In each episode of this sixth series we SAT hear, as ever, a confused, muddled and often challenging SAT day-in-the-life of Count Arthur - with his mixed-up delivery SAT of words and forthright self-delusion. SAT When Arthur attempts to return an item of clothing to a SAT local shop, things don't quite go to plan - leading him to SAT take some 'legal' advice at the Citizen's Advice Bureau. SAT With an ever-increasing list of complaints, plus the SAT possibility of having to acquire a puppy (or puppies) to SAT boot, Arthur's day doesn't go quite as he'd hoped. SAT The occasion does give him a chance to take a trip down SAT memory lane however, re-living an acting moment in a legal SAT TV drama - which of course enables Arthur to give some sound SAT advice of his own!

SAT SAT 18:00 Franz Kafka - Metamorphosis b007jwnt (Listen) SAT Episode 1 SAT Gregor Samsa wakes one day to find himself hideously SAT transformed into a monstrous insect. His family react with SAT horror at his bizarre transformation but this slowly turns SAT to revulsion - and then monstrous indifference - as he is SAT left to quietly waste away in his bedroom. SAT First published in 1912, Benedict Cumberbatch reads Franz SAT Kafka's classic novel in four parts. SAT Franz Kafka (1883-1924) ranks among the 20th century's most SAT acclaimed writers. He is often cited as the author whose SAT works best evoke the concerns and preoccupations of modern SAT life. The world in his stories is portrayed as one in which SAT the fantastic is entirely normal, the irrational is SAT rational, and the unreasonable seems reasonable. As Ernst SAT Pawel wrote in his biography of the writer, "Kafka SAT articulates the anguish of being human." SAT Kafka, although Czech and living in Prague, which was then SAT part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, spoke fluent German and SAT Czech and actually wrote in German and thought it his mother SAT tongue. The tensions between those who spoke German and SAT those who spoke Czech were a direct reflection of the rise SAT of nationalism and the quest for national identity. SAT Metamorphosis was translated by Richard Stokes. Abridged and SAT produced by Gemma Jenkins. SAT First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 Extra in 2006.

SAT SAT 23:30 Ida Barr: Artificial Hip Hop b00v72r5 (Listen) SAT Diversity SAT By Christopher Green. SAT Ida Barr is a music hall singer who has embraced hip hop and SAT rap, reflecting the cultural diversity of London's East End, SAT where she has been living in retirement for several decades. SAT Ida has a genuine love of talking to people so each week she SAT investigates a new topic and creates a unique brand of SAT music-hall, hip-hop fusion with beat boxer Shlomo. This SAT week, the topic is "Diversity". SAT Produced by Claire Grove SAT Ida Barr is the creation of award-winning performer SAT Christopher Green (aka spoof country and western singer Tina SAT C). "Missy Elliott meets Marie Lloyd" - Guardian. Each week SAT Ida investigates a current political buzz word - Choice, SAT Responsibility, Diversity and Transparency - and records her SAT findings on her Ida-pod - an ancient battery operated SAT cassette machine with a greasy earpiece. Her target groups SAT include the Sutton House over 55's drama group, children SAT from the Italia Conti Aacademy and Theatre Venture's Youth SAT Company from Stratford East. SAT Beat box artist Shlomo was heard by 3.9 billion people SAT around the world when he and Björk performed "Oceania" at SAT the opening ceremony of the 2004 Athens Olympics. He has SAT also worked with artists such as Martha Wainwright, Damon SAT Albarn, and Nitin Sawhney. He is a classically-trained SAT percussionist and heads the world's only human beatbox SAT choir, the Vocal Orchestra. SAT Christopher Green has written and performed three Tina C SAT series for BBC Radio 4 plus Tina C's Election Night BBQ SAT Special (Nov 2008). 'Ida Barr's Bingo' was at the Brighton SAT Festival and the South Bank earlier this year and 'Ida Barr: SAT So This Is Christmas' was at the Barbican Centre in December SAT 2008. SAT Credits SAT Producer: Claire Grove SAT SAT 23:45 iGod b00wwc1r (Listen) SAT Robot SAT iGOD is a highly original and funny new late-night comedy SAT series for Radio 4. It stars Simon Day (The Fast Show) and SAT David Soul (Starsky & Hutch) and is written by one of the SAT head writers of the BAFTA award-winning The Thick Of It, SAT Sean Gray and produced by Simon Nicholls (Ed Reardon's Week SAT / News At Bedtime). SAT We all worry about the end of the world, as economists and SAT environmentalists speak in apocalyptic terms everyday. iGOD SAT says that trying to predict the end of the world is as SAT pointless as moisturising an elephant's elbow. SAT In each episode, an unnamed, all-seeing narrator (David Soul SAT - Starsky and Hutch) shows us that it is stupid to be SAT worrying, as he looks back at some of the most entertaining SAT apocalypses on parallel Earths. Each week our case study is SAT a normal bloke called Ian (Simon Day) who manages to SAT accidentally initiate the apocalypse of a different parallel SAT world through a seemingly harmless single act (telling a SAT lie, being lazy, cooking some lambshanks). A succession of SAT comic vignettes ensue that escalate to the end of a parallel SAT world. SAT With a full-range of sound effects and wonderfully funny and SAT surreal twists, iGOD will be a true aural extravaganza. SAT Written by SAT SEAN GRAY SAT Produced by SAT SIMON NICHOLLS.

THU Written by Nathan Caton and James Kettle THU Producer: Katie Tyrrell THU Can't Tell Nathan Caton Nothing is a series about young, THU up-and-coming comedian Nathan Caton, who after becoming the THU first in his family to graduate from University, opted not THU to use his architecture degree but instead to try his hand THU at being a full-time stand-up comedian, much to his family's THU horror and disgust. They desperately want him to get a THU 'proper job.' THU Each episode illustrates the criticism, interference and THU rollercoaster ride that Nathan endures from his disapproving THU family as he tries to prove himself. THU The series is a mix of Nathan's stand-up intercut with THU scenes from his family life. THU Janet a.k.a. Mum is probably the kindest and most lenient of THU the disappointed family members. At the end of the day she THU just wants the best for her son. However, she'd also love to THU brag and show her son off to her friends, but with Nathan THU only telling jokes for a living that's kind of hard to do. THU Martin a.k.a. Dad works in the construction industry and was THU looking forward to his son getting a degree so the two of THU them could work together in the same field. But now Nathan THU has blown that dream out of the window. Martin is clumsy and THU hard-headed and leaves running the house to his wife (she THU wouldn't allow it to be any other way). THU Shirley a.k.a. Grandma cannot believe Nathan turned down THU architecture for comedy. She can't believe she left the THU paradise in the West Indies and came to the freezing United THU Kingdom for a better life so that years later her grandson THU could 'tell jokes!' How can her grandson go on stage and use THU foul language and filthy material... it's not the good THU Christian way! THU So with all this going on in the household what will Nathan THU do? Will he persevere and follow his dreams? Or will he give THU in to his family's interference? Or will he finally leave THU home?!

THU THU 10:00 Classic Serial b01l5qc7 (Listen) THU John Wyndham - The Chrysalids, Episode 1 THU John Wyndham's post-apocalyptic science fiction classic THU dramatised by Jane Rogers. THU Genetic mutation has devastated the world. In the emergent THU bleak, primitive society, any deviation is seen as the work THU of the devil, ruthlessly hunted out and destroyed. In law THU abiding, God-respecting Waknuk anyone who does not conform THU to the 'norm' must keep their deviation secret or face the THU consequences of discovery. THU Directed by Nadia Molinari THU Written in 1955 Wyndham's novel explores the dangers THU inherent in discrimination and the threats posed by THU religious fundamentalism. The 'Old People' who caused the THU apocalypse are depressingly like us: ' They were shut off by THU different languages and different beliefs. They created vast THU problems then buried their heads in the sands of idle THU faith.' The children of the future (the Chrysalids) are able THU to 'think-together' and so can rise above the selfish THU violence and conflicting religions of the past. Wyndham's THU story of a group of persecuted teenagers is more timely than THU ever in our post-Fukushima, war-riven, genetically THU engineered and religiously divided world. Jane Rogers is a THU playwright and novelist, her latest novel The Testament of THU Jessie Lamb won the Arthur C Clarke Award this year.

THU THU 17:00 Ballylenon b00xw14x (Listen) THU Series 8, Return of the Native THU Ballylenon, County Donegal. Pop. 1,999 was founded by St THU Lenon of Padua, when he fell into the river at this spot in THU 953. Ballylenon is situated on the shores of Lough Swilly THU with entrancing views of Muckish Mountain, in the Diocese of THU Derry and Raphoe. (Note: Ballylenon is a fictional name, but THU the other landmarks are identifiable.) THU In this society, there exists an uneasy balance of THU interests. Communication has all the appearances of power, THU and in Ballylenon, communication means the local Telephone THU Exchange and Post Office. Both these are firmly in the THU control of sisters, Vera and Muriel McConkey, who in cahoots THU with hotelier and funeral undertaker, Phonsie Doherty, would THU seek to rule the roost in Ballylenon. However, other forces THU have their own guiding principles, and where the McConkey THU sisters and Mr Doherty, aided by The Vindicator, would THU dominate reactionary thinking, a dangerous liberal tendency THU is championed by Vivienne and Rev. Samuel Hawthorne, and the THU somewhat unlikely, Guard Gallagher. The antagonism between THU these camps is only ever thinly veiled. THU In this brand new series, Christopher Fitz-Simon takes a THU jocose but jaundiced look at 1960's Ireland, where we THU discover THU Muriel McConachie , 62. Spinster remnant of a family once THU active in politics, Muriel inherited the corner shop and, THU due to her Councillor father's influence, has the Post THU Office franchise. Known as the eyes of Ballylenon, Muriel, THU the Honouree Secretary of the Development Association, has a THU long-term 'understanding' with its Chair, Phonsie Doherty. THU She is a gentle personality, but misses nothing and can see THU a midge on a mare's arse in Tyrone. THU We also discover, Vera McConachie, 61, Muriel's younger and THU more forthright spinster sister who runs the 10-line manual THU Telephone Exchange and is known as the Ears of Ballylenon. THU Every call goes through her switchboard, its content noted, THU discussed and any necessary action taken. She also writes THU the Horoscope anonymously for the Donegal Vindicator. THU The McConkey's closest confidant is Phonsie [Alphonsus] THU Doherty. 58. Phonsie is a widower, proprietor of the Swilly THU Arms Hotel and of Doherty's Estate Agency and Funeral THU Furnishers and Chair of the Development Association. Up to THU the present is politically 'in' and therefore in the way of THU knowing what grants and subsidies are available for all THU manner of projects. His relationship with Muriel McConachie THU is proprietorial rather than romantic. THU If there is a thorn in the side of this trio it is, Vivienne THU Hawthorne, 30, the former Miss Boal. Bright, breezy, busy THU primary schoolteacher. Organist and choir-mistress of the THU Presbyterian congregation. Though seemingly rationalist, THU Vivienne is secretly much influenced by horoscopes. She is THU supporter of cultural causes like the music festival and THU architectural conservation. And though apparently THU straightforward, she achieves certain aims by devious means.

FRI Genetic mutation has devastated the world. Any deviation is FRI seen as the work of the devil, ruthlessly hunted out and FRI destroyed. David Strorm is one of a group of young people FRI who can communicate by transferring thought-shapes. In God FRI fearing, law abiding Waknuk, David and his friends would be FRI classed as Mutants. Will David be forced to flee to the FRI Fringes, the lawless territory inhabited by mutants or risk FRI discovery? FRI Directed by Nadia Molinari FRI Written in 1955 Wyndham's novel explores the dangers FRI inherent in discrimination and the threats posed by FRI religious fundamentalism. The 'Old People' who caused the FRI apocalypse are depressingly like us: ' They were shut off by FRI different languages and different beliefs. They created vast FRI problems then buried their heads in the sands of idle FRI faith.' The children of the future (the Chrysalids) are able FRI to 'think-together' and so can rise above the selfish FRI violence and conflicting religions of the past. Wyndham's FRI story of a group of persecuted teenagers is more timely than FRI ever in our post-Fukushima, war-riven, genetically FRI engineered and religiously divided world. Jane Rogers is a FRI playwright and novelist, her latest novel The Testament of FRI Jessie Lamb won the Arthur C Clarke Award this year.
