Whether talking SAT to convicted murderers, the homeless, impotent men or SAT unmarried mothers, his enigmatic quiet empathy meant that SAT people opened up to him with immense honesty and trust. He SAT was the Great Listener. SAT The result was a unique and expansive body of work, in which SAT he shaped these real-life stories into compelling thematic SAT narratives. By the time of his death in 1996, he had SAT published scores of books, made documentaries for radio and SAT television, and pioneered the genre of verbatim drama. SAT Although his work was always based on real people in real SAT places, Parker gave all his interviewees and their locations SAT pseudonyms, and he scrupulously destroyed all traces of the SAT interviews-the tapes and the transcripts-once the books were SAT published. SAT Alan Dein traces the story of Tony Parker through the SAT archive that remains and along the way tries to get behind SAT the pseudonyms and obfuscation and track down some of Tony SAT Parker's interviewees to find out what it was like to open SAT up to the Great Listener.

Lenny - a great fan of Soul music and Rhythm & SUN Blues - gets to grips one recording artist he never really SUN "got" : Bob Dylan. From the time he was a teenager in Dudley SUN in the early 70s he had to listen to his schoolmate Greg SUN Stokes tell him what a "classic" the Dylan album 'Blonde On SUN Blonde' was ; and ever since friends have been trying to SUN convince him that "His Bobness", as Lenny describes him, is SUN the one recording artist to whom he should really devote his SUN energies. It's now make or break time and Lenny assembles a SUN band of musicians and fans to see if they can, once and for SUN all, change his mind. SUN "Dear oh dear", says Lenny. "That whine!

SUN SUN 10:00 The Reunion b00tkpc1 (Listen) SUN Miss World 1970 SUN In 1970, the Miss World held at the Royal Albert Hall in SUN London was disrupted by feminists protesting that the SUN competition was a cattle market. Bob Hope, presenting the SUN event, stood on a stage pelted with tomatoes and flour SUN bombs. Bouncers were sprayed with blue ink. The women SUN disrupting the competition shouted: 'we're not beautiful, SUN we're not ugly, we're angry.' SUN Bob Hope's less than enlightened verdict on the events was SUN that anyone who might disrupt Miss World 'must be on some SUN kind of dope'. But the Women's Liberation Movement proved SUN otherwise. SUN The Women's Liberation Movement's protests at the Miss World SUN contest were not solely aimed at rejecting the event itself SUN though, but more at the implications of the wider SUN exploitation of women in society. Economically and socially, SUN women were subject to continual discrimination and the SUN epitome of such prejudice was highlighted by this public SUN celebration of female beauty. SUN The programme looks at the event through the eyes of the SUN participants who were involved both on and off stage. It SUN examines their motives for participating in the protest and SUN how those organising the event and taking part as SUN contestants felt about the contest. Sue is joined by the SUN former Miss World of 1970; Jennifer Hosten, one of the key SUN organisers; Peter Jolley and protestors Sally Alexander and SUN Jo Robinson.

Today we are MON introduced to Mary and her country home. MON The Reader is Juliet Stevenson MON Abridger Sally Marmion MON Producer Di Speirs MON FM Mayor's masterful novel, The Rector's Daughter, is a rare MON thing - a novel with a deceptively small canvas, set in the MON backwaters of a dull East Anglia a century ago, but still as MON fresh as ever. Much loved by those who have discovered it, MON it now comes to Radio 4 as one of the Open Book listeners' MON Neglected Classics. MON At the heart of the novel lie the fortunes of Mary Jocelyn, MON a dutiful and devoted daughter content to live out her MON destiny under the leaden East Anglian skies she loves, to MON find solace in a robin's song and in the rare moments of MON warmth from her aged and formidable father. But on losing MON the one soul who really loved and needed her, Mary finds MON herself unbearably lonely, and for the first time open to MON new horizons. MON With deft precision, FM Mayor captures the emotions stirring MON in Mary's heart and the pain of thwarted middle aged desire. MON With her unerring eye, she reveals both the bitterness and MON strengths of a happy marriage. The Rector's Daughter is MON acerbic and poignant and much deserves its loyal fans and MON its place within Radio 4's Neglected Classics season. MON FM Mayor was born in 1872 and read History at Newnham MON College Cambridge when university education was still a rare MON adventure for a woman. Her fiance died in India and she MON remained within her family circle for the rest of her life MON (her father was a clergyman like Mary's).
