SAT When Aldridge first appeared on the London stage in 1825, he SAT was enthusiastically received by the public but the critics SAT hated him, The Times going so far as to say that he could SAT not pronounce English properly, 'owing to the shape of his SAT lips'. Here was a black man daring to break into the SAT heartland of the British 'classics', which had hitherto been SAT the exclusive domain of white actors. SAT But, undeterred by the racial hostility of the press, SAT Aldridge became a perpetually touring player, an exotic SAT 'star', honing his skills in the provinces and across SAT Europe.

The "Tebbit Test", as it became SAT known, was always an over-simplification; there are lots of SAT reasons why the immigrant community in Britain may not SAT support England: apparently racist selection policies; SAT leading players taking part in sanctions-busting tours of SAT Apartheid-era South Africa; Britain's complicated and not SAT always flattering colonial history; the fact that for SAT fifteen years, England were simply rubbish. But is any of SAT this still relevant? SAT In July 2011, the Indian cricket team will arrive in England SAT as the number one ranked team in the world. Over the course SAT of five weeks an ageing but brilliant team containing the SAT likes of Zaheer Khan, Virender Sehwag, Harbhajan Singh and SAT possibly the greatest batsman to have ever played, Sachin SAT Tendulkar, will compete against the young, improving team SAT that includes Alistair Cook, Jimmy Anderson, Stuart Broad SAT and Kevin Pietersen. SAT In The Sinha Test stand-up comedian and cricket obsessive SAT Paul Sinha - born in London to Indian parents - examines why SAT he has been a lifelong India fan, despite considering SAT himself "as British as a pub fight". Between the jokes he SAT speaks to experts - a sociologist and a former Test SAT cricketer - to see if he's alone in not always cheering on SAT the country of his birth when it comes to cricket. SAT Paul Sinha was nominated for the if.Comedy Award at the 2006 SAT Edinburgh Festival, and more "Best Headliner" at the 2009 SAT Chortle awards.

Featuring the MON intriguing, dogged, intuitive complex figure of Detective MON Inspector Martin Beck and his colleagues in the National MON Police Homicide Department in Stockholm, the books set a MON gold standard for all subsequent Scandinavian crime fiction, MON and for much of the best crime fiction in Britain and MON America written since the 1960s. The books have been admired MON and imitated by crime writers and readers ever since their MON publication; now Radio 4 offers audiences the opportunity to MON discover just why the books have been so acclaimed by those MON in the know. MON The use of crime and police procedure to hold up a mirror to MON society and its most dysfunctional elements is commonplace MON now, but that's because Martin Beck paved the way for MON subsequent generations of European crime writers whose MON fallible heroes - Kurt Wallander, John Rebus etc. - make the MON best fist they can of their own lives whilst trying to MON tackle the violence around them. MON The books were written deliberately to give an MON unsentimental, realistic portrait of Sweden in the MON mid-sixties: not the liberal place it was thought to be, but MON a society suffering from a stifling bureaucracy and a MON creeping rottenness behind the surface sheen. Confronting MON the dark side of this society are stubborn, logical, MON anti-social Detective Inspector Martin Beck, his closest MON friend Detective Inspector Lennart Kollberg - overweight, MON hedonistic, opinionated; Detective Inspector Frederick MON Melander, with a memory like a card-index file and a noxious MON pipe clamped in his jaws, and their colleagues in the murder MON squad. MON In Roseanna, they are faced with the body of an unknown girl MON found in a canal dredger. The long investigation ends with a MON risky and frightening sting. MON Dramatised for radio by Jennifer Howarth MON Original music by Elizabeth Purnell MON Directed by Sara Davies.

But his promotion hasn't made him THU any more cheerful; if anything, it's only confirmed his THU gloomy belief that the best way to solve crimes is by hard THU slog, dogged persistence, a grimly realistic view of human THU nature - and the occasional flash of sheer intuition. His THU team of colleagues, headed by Lennart Kollberg and Frederick THU Melander, are used to his stubborn ways and his frequent THU colds. His wife Inga isn't as tolerant. THU The Laughing Policeman begins on the evening of a big THU demonstration in Stockholm against the Vietnam war; as the THU police are dealing with protesters outside the American THU embassy, a mass shooting on a bus in a suburb ends with nine THU dead, including one of Martin Beck's team.
