In this week's edition of The Choir, Aled Jones presents coverage of the final of the biennial Let The Peoples Sing contest, held on 18 October in a glittering ceremony in Oslo, Norway.

The programme includes spectacular performances from the nine finalists – choirs spanning thousands of miles, from Latvia to Canada and Germany to Finland – competing in three categories: adult, youth and children.

The prize is the one of the highest accolades for any non-professional choir in the world, and the music in the final encompasses everything from traditional favourites and folk music to dazzling choral showpieces.

Aled is joined in the studio by Michael Emery, producer of the BBC Singers and a member of this year's jury panel. They will showcase some of the highlights of this year's contest and discuss what went right and wrong for the competing choirs, before revealing the winner.

Rana Mitter travels to Moscow to meet the heirs of Eisenstein and Tarkovsky and explore new Russian cinema and the new Russia.

In the Nineties much of Russia fell apart, including its film industry. Stray dogs ran through abandoned studio lots, cinemas fell into disrepair and the few films produced glorified gangsters. A decade later and new multiplexes, vampire blockbusters and international acclaim have brought Russian cinema back from the brink.

Oscar-winner Karen Shakhnazarov and young directors Vasily Sigarev and Alexey Popogrebsky are among those Rana meets in the cinemas and cafes of Moscow.

At the historic Mosfilm studios, and visiting film screenings and festivals, Rana asks how Russia is changing, how the past is being re-packaged and what Russian politicians, producers and punters would most like to see on a night out at the movies.

The second episode of this new series of Living World looks at the Sika Deer.

Autumn is the time of the Red Deer rut, wherever they are. The monarch of the glen is the trademark of Scotland, but Red Deer are a woodland species, once more common in southern woodlands.

In this programme, Lionel Kelleway sets out to record the rut of a much more recently introduced deer species – the Sika.

Sika Deer whistle and scream more than bellow. To encounter this, Lionel travels to a large nature reserve in Dorset. He joins the warden Mark Singleton, who takes him deep into the reserve to witness this alien species asserting its place in the British natural world.

Fair Stood The Wind For France Ep 1/2

Sunday 15 November

3.00-4.00pm BBC RADIO 4

Rory Kinnear, Louise Brealey and Tom Goodman-Hill star in HE Bates's classic tale of danger, suspense and romance in wartime France.

When a British aircrew ditch over occupied France in the summer of 1942 the young captain, Franklin, is badly wounded in one arm. Together the crew struggle through the night until they find an isolated watermill. There they ask the family – a farmer, his elderly mother and his daughter – to hide them.

Too ill to move, Franklin struggles to retain his command and judgement. He ponders sending his angry crew on without him – and whether he is falling in love with the farmer's daughter. He questions if he can trust her to save him, when France is disintegrating into murder, bitterness and betrayal.

The cast stars Olivier Award-winner Rory Kinnear as Franklin, with Tom Goodman-Hill as his navigator O'Connor. Louise Brealey plays the young girl Françoise and Ellie Haddington the grandmother. The cast also includes Bruce Alexander, Ewan Hooper, Kenneth Collard, Kate Layden, John Biggins, Rhys Jennings and Piers Wehner.
