SAT SAT 03:00 Classic Serial b01lh971 (Listen) SAT John Wyndham - The Chrysalids, Episode 2 SAT John Wyndham's post-apocalyptic science fiction classic SAT dramatised by Jane Rogers. SAT Genetic mutation has devastated the world. Any deviation is SAT seen as the work of the devil, ruthlessly hunted out and SAT destroyed. SAT David Strorm is one of a group of young people who can SAT communicate by transferring thought-shapes. In God fearing, SAT law abiding Waknuk, David and his friends would be classed SAT as Mutants. Will David be forced to flee to the Fringes, the SAT lawless territory inhabited by mutants or risk discovery? SAT Directed by Nadia Molinari SAT Written in 1955 Wyndham's novel explores the dangers SAT inherent in discrimination and the threats posed by SAT religious fundamentalism. The 'Old People' who caused the SAT apocalypse are depressingly like us: ' They were shut off by SAT different languages and different beliefs. They created vast SAT problems then buried their heads in the sands of idle SAT faith.' The children of the future (the Chrysalids) are able SAT to 'think-together' and so can rise above the selfish SAT violence and conflicting religions of the past. Wyndham's SAT story of a group of persecuted teenagers is more timely than SAT ever in our post-Fukushima, war-riven, genetically SAT engineered and religiously divided world. Jane Rogers is a SAT playwright and novelist, her latest novel The Testament of SAT Jessie Lamb won the Arthur C Clarke Award this year.

Samira Ahmed reflects on the love of the SAT Western. SAT The American Film Institute SAT defines western films as those "set in the American West SAT that embody the spirit, the struggle and the demise of the SAT new frontier". The term Western, used to describe a SAT narrative film genre, appears to have originated with a July SAT 1912 article in Motion Picture World Magazine. SAT In this personal exploration, Samira Ahmed will see how SAT Westerns nourished post-war British children and how they SAT explored the politics and fears of their day. Samira says, SAT "I remember sitting at an uncle's house in Hillingdon, SAT possibly celebrating Eid, with lots of Hyderabadi relatives, SAT and we were all - kids and adults alike - gathered round the SAT TV watching the end of the original True Grit." SAT The programme considers the central cast of characters in SAT the western form. Samira explores her interest in the weird SAT and wonderful women and their ranches full of outlaws, such SAT as Marlene Dietrich in Rancho Notorious: "I especially loved SAT the strong Indian and Mexican women - Katy Jurado in High SAT Noon, as opposed to anaemic Grace Kelly. And there were SAT always strong women in Westerns, holding their own in a SAT deeply macho world. Then there were those secretly gay, SAT camp, polysexual or just plain wacko Westerns - Johnny SAT Guitar, the French critics' favourite, and The Singer Not SAT the Song featuring Dirk Bogarde's highly unlikely Mexican SAT bandido in black leather jeans and gloves."

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 SAT 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. For the SAT last in the series, Ida's topic of choice is "Transparency". 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 Academy 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 SAT 23:45 iGod b00x41ns (Listen) SAT Fame 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 SAT award-winning The Thick Of It, Sean Gray and produced by SAT Simon Nicholls (Ed Reardon's Week / 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: THU 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?!

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 THU Mountain, in the Diocese of Derry and Raphoe. (Note: THU Ballylenon is a fictional name, but the other landmarks are THU 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.
