The Blagger's Guide To Country Ep 2/4

David Quantick continues to take listeners by the hand and lead them through the mean streets of country music.
The Blagger's Guide To Country sets its sights on the cheatin', drinkin', shootin' and cryin' world of country music with the clumsy assistance of fake archive footage, made-up adverts, imaginary trailers for imaginary movies, counterfeit recordings and some old fashioned gags.
The series is the right place for listeners to come to find out how Patsy Cline died; hear a long lost advert for Now That's What I Call Cecil Sharp's English Folk Songs From The Southern Appalachians; impress, or bore, friends by going on about the cultural significance of northern Louisiana; and discover the three best Willie Nelson songs of all time.
Tonight's second programme focuses on matters concerning Dolly Parton, country and politics, Willie Nelson and Nashville.

Composer Of The Week – Monteverdi Ep 2/5
Monday 13 to Friday 17 October
12.00-1.00pm BBC RADIO 3 |
|
Donald Macleod continues his travels to Venice to walk in composer Monteverdi's footsteps. In today's Composer Of The Week offering, Donald explores the music Monteverdi wrote for St Mark's Basilica in his capacity as Director of Music, and visits Venice's State Archive, a remarkable institution chronicling the past 1,000 years of Venetian life.
Donald talks to the Basilica's vice maestro di capella, Justine Rapaccioli, about the demands of the liturgical schedule. He then crosses the Grand Canal to the Venice State Archive and finds such treasures as a letter written in Monteverdi's own hand, telling the story of an ugly dispute with one of his singers, Domenico Aldegati. Music includes the splendidly festive Magnificat in 8 voices and the serene Mass in 4 Voices, Monteverdi's "updating" of Palestrina.

Between Ourselves Ep 1/3
Tuesday 14 October
9.00-9.30am BBC RADIO 4

|
|
 |
Tony Little, Head of Eton, and Michael Wilkins, Head of Outwood Grange comprehensive school, discuss their roles and offer an illuminating comparison between two very different institutions, in a new, three-part series.
In this edition of Between Ourselves, both head teachers have the same aim – to produce happy, confident and well-qualified young people – yet they start with very different material. Tony, himself an old Etonian, has a rigorous selection procedure which allows him to populate his school with the brightest and most motivated boys. As boarders, they have round-the-clock attention and a wide range of opportunities.
It's very different for Michael, however, who takes students of all abilities and backgrounds into his huge comprehensive school near Leeds. Since his appointment, Michael has turned Outwood Grange around and the percentage of pupils getting good GCSE grades has almost doubled.
So, what difference can the head teacher make? Olivia O'Leary meets both head teachers to look at the power and responsibility they hold and how they handle the young lives in their hands.

Hamish Henderson – A Various Man
Tuesday 14 October
11.30am-12.00noon BBC RADIO 4
|
|
|
|
|
Hamish Henderson has been called "the most important Scottish poet since Burns", yet is better known overseas than in the rest of the UK. Nelson Mandela sought him out after his release from Robben Island and Pete Seeger gamely attempted some of his Scots dialect poetry. Ask anyone outside of Scotland to name the leading Scottish poets and most would get stuck after Robert Burns, but Henderson's name deserves more recognition.
Henderson was not just a poet and songwriter of international stature, but also a various man – one with a range of talents and interests that added up to a colourful and influential life. Winner of the Somerset Maugham prize in 1949 for his war poetry, Henderson was also a folklorist who pioneered use of the tape recorder and led the Scottish folk revival. He was also a prime mover in the creation of Edinburgh University's School of Scottish Studies and one of the earliest anti-apartheid campaigners.
This programme mixes performance of some of Henderson's poetry and song with new interviews on location and a variety of rare archive clips. The programme is presented by Edinburgh University's Dr Fred Freeman, a specialist in Hamish Henderson and Robert Burns and their work.

The allegations are all hotly contested so, as the big names begin to sue and counter-sue, what is likely to be revealed about how banking business was conducted?

Fabulous
Ep 1/4

Faye is feeling anxious. She knows that today's women are fabulous – they have the job, the house, the colour co-ordinated capsule wardrobe and they cope with singledom, marriage and having kids with peanut allergies. It seems that they all do it effortlessly, with nothing more than a copy of Prima and a poem by Pam Ayres to guide them. So why can't she pull it off?
In this second series of Fabulous, Faye tries to get through her day smiling. Inside, however, she is angry and annoyed, obsesses over imagined slights and chastises herself for the slightest mistake. Faye constantly struggles to appear cool, calm and in control, but she is hindered by a monosyllabic boyfriend, a demanding mother, a disturbed elder sister and a frankly pathological hatred for her "I'm-slightly-better-than-you" work-mate, Edith.
There's also Faye's friend and workmate, Denise, who follows fashion religiously, and Joan the naturalist, who works at the coal-face of romance, writing trashy novels for Mills & Boon.
Between seeking self-improvement and scanning the media for solutions to her imagined problems, Faye has to deal with some real issues and gets a proposal she can't refuse. She hires some builders to refurbish her kitchen, which causes no end of anxiety and, meanwhile, tries to find her father, who has disappeared, as well as endeavouring to win Edith's job while she is on maternity leave.
The series is written by Lucy Clarke and the cast includes Daisy Haggard, Katy Brand, Justin Edwards, Joanna Neary, Jo Scanlan and Anne Reid.
