There's a flurry of excitement in SAT the village. Mr Kismet, from the World Development Agency, SAT has sent a letter offering rich rewards if the region sells SAT its timber and moves to cut-flower production. Mr Job obeys SAT the WDA scrupulously, even when the instructions prove SAT extremely inconvenient, but as they wait for Mr Kismet's SAT arrival, a series of disasters strike. A satire about SAT globalisation and climate change. SAT Mr Job ..... Jude Akuwudike SAT Mrs Job ..... Adjoa Andoh SAT Mr Eliphaz ..... Danny Sapani SAT Mr Bildad ..... Kobna Holdbrook-Smith SAT Mr Achebe ..... Lloyd Thomas SAT Mr Lucy ..... Paul Courtney Hyu SAT Directed by Claire Grove SAT This is the Job story from the Old Testament with a new SAT twist - a dark comedy set in Africa about the topical SAT subjects of globalisation and climate change. We are in the SAT fictional West African country of Ghanzania. Mr Job (Jude SAT Akuwudike) is the unofficial head of his village. He trusts SAT the West's promises of rich rewards if they give up SAT traditional farming in favour of large scale production of SAT cash crops. Mrs Job (Adjoa Andoh) is less certain. So the SAT villagers cut down their forests, sell their goats and pour SAT chemicals into the soil, but their children get sick, the SAT hill slides into the lake, a hurricane floods the coast, and SAT Mr Job is left clinging to the roof of his house. As the SAT waters close over his head he hears the voice of God. Will SAT his patience be rewarded? SAT Justin Butcher wrote the brilliant 'Seven White Masks of SAT Scaramouche Jones' for Radio 4 which became an award-winning SAT one-man show for Pete Postlethwaite.

Stars Cathryn Harrison and SAT Roger Allam. SAT SAT 07:30 Great Lives b00txhlb (Listen) SAT Series 22, Walt Disney SAT Satirical cartoonist Gerald Scarfe nominates Walt Disney. SAT Gerald Scarfe spent much of his childhood in his sick bed, SAT so it's not surprising that Disney cartoons and feature SAT films meant so much to him. He can still recall the thrill SAT at the prospect of seeing Pinocchio at the cinema, and then SAT the agony of being lead away again in the rain because the SAT tickets were too expensive. SAT Walt Disney came from a working family. His god-fearing SAT father Elias, said by one writer to have 'hated Capital, and SAT favoured Labour, but really needed to make a buck', found SAT work where he could. So Walt lived a peripatetic childhood, SAT and sought solace in drawing and play acting. Hard times SAT early on did not make Walt frugal with money in adulthood, SAT and despite the huge successes of the golden era of Disney, SAT it was only with the opening of Disneyland that Walt SAT attained any substantial personal wealth. SAT You don't have to look far to find myth surrounding Walt SAT Disney. Even after his death, rumours that his body had been SAT cryogenically frozen spread so widely that they soon slipped SAT into folklore. He had actually been cremated, but the SAT readiness with which the cryogenic claim was accepted SAT perhaps bears witness to a man who was terrified of dying, SAT who believed in the white hope of technology and who, some SAT might say, had been searching all his life for an escape SAT into an immortal, fairytale world. SAT Matthew Parris, Gerald Scarfe and guest experts Brian Sibley SAT and Richard Williams, creator of Roger Rabbit, discuss the SAT life of a complex cultural icon. A man who was seemingly SAT unpretentious, and did not fit the image of movie mogul with SAT his scruffy tweed jacket and awkward demeanour, yet a man SAT who was accused of being a tyrannical egomaniac. The son of SAT a socialist who ended up naming names at the House of Un- SAT American Activities committee. Above all else perhaps SAT though, they discuss the life of a man who strove tirelessly SAT for perfection and who changed the cultural landscape of a SAT little boy called Gerald, and arguably of the world, for SAT ever. SAT Scarfe himself is best known for his classic images SAT lampooning the great and the good of politics, and also in SAT his iconic animation for Pink Floyd's The Wall. He reveals SAT in this programme that he also spent time working on the SAT Disney production Hercules. SAT The producer is Miles Warde.
