Features in November 2008:

 

Adult children
We look at an interesting legal case. A 20 year old man in Italy has taken his father to court for money so that he can continue to live at home with his mother and study for a new career. But at 20, are we too old to expect our parents to be responsible for us?

Poetry
Of course, most of us wrote poetry at school and as adults, perhaps many of us still write it secretly. But in this programme we'll hear an interview with Dave Neita who happily shares his poetry with the world!

Nuclear script
The British National Archives is a place where all kinds of top secret documents and records are kept about Britain's history. But after thirty years, many are made public. In this week's programme, we find out about an extraordinary document which was written during the 1970s and is now available for everyone to see.

BFM International Film Festival
We find out why there's a separate Black film makers' International Film Festival at the same time as the Times BFI London Film Festival. Also, we hear from the director of an award-winning short film to find out what the film is about.
