POWELL AND PRESSBURGER: POETIC PATRIOTISM (320kbs-m4a/130mb/57mins)
BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 14th October 2023
Powell and Pressburger were the most fearless of British filmmakers, once described by Martin Scorsese as 'the most experimental moviemakers of all time'. The pair - Hungarian-Jewish screenwriter Emeric Pressburger who fled the Nazis across Europe to London, and English director Michael Powell - made masterpieces that dazzle to this day.
From their work, filmmaker Carol Morley draws out their response to Britishness, one that was affectionate yet clear-eyed, never blind to our collective faults. She unearths their extraordinary collaboration with each other, as well as other trailblazing creatives – designers, cinematographers and actors - that formed a collective known as The Archers. Between them, they made more than 20 films from the 1930s onwards.
We reappraise some of their greatest classics, including A Matter of Life and Death, The Red Shoes, A Canterbury Tale and I Know Where I'm Going! The programme includes interviews with Tilda Swinton, Ian Christie and Sandy Powell, as well as powerful archive from Lenny Henry and Martin Scorsese.
A major BFI UK-wide celebration of Powell and Pressburger takes place this Autumn, Cinema Unbound: The Creative Worlds of Powell and Pressburger, with screenings and events until the end of the year.

ARCHIVE ON 4: THE CULT OF LEBOWSKI (320kbs-m4a/129mb/56mins)
BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 7th October 2023
Twenty-five years ago, the Coen brothers' follow-up to the Oscar-winning Fargo had critics scratching their heads.
A comedy? And a weird one at that - encompassing a typically incomprehensible film noir plot, philosophy, the War in Iraq and... bowling?
Archive on 4 digs into the vaults and speaks to an array of critics to define the peculiar, quotable appeal of the film - and ask if finding its own fanbase and a critical reappraisal make it the perfect definition of a cult film.
Featuring James King, Angie Errigo, Katie Smith-Wong, Tim Robey, Sir Roger Deakins, Joel Morris, Matt Qvortrup and Hannah Strong.

STEVE WATERS - SONG OF THE REED - 4. BITTERN (320kbs-m4a/100mb/44mins)
BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 21st March 2022
Conclusion of this seasonal drama following life on a wetlands nature reserve in Norfolk over one year. Starring Sophie Okonedo and Mark Rylance.
Ian (Mark Rylance) returns to Fleggwick for the first time since suffering serious injuries during the winter's flood and finds it as beautiful and full of life as ever, but still endangered as Liv (Sophie Okonedo) struggles to find a way to keep the Reserve going.
This is the fourth and final episode of an innovative drama, with instalments recorded on location at RSPB Strumpshaw Fen in Norfolk every three months, documenting the extraordinary wetlands habitat as it changes through the seasons.
This episode features the Bittern as its special guest star – a characterful bird known for its booming call.
Song of the Reed, by Steve Waters, is informed by the sounds of the reserve as well as the real work and science of conservation taking place in the face of rapid environmental change in the wetlands of Norfolk, and everywhere.

STEVE WATERS - SONG OF THE REED - 3. EEL (320kbs-m4a/100mb/44mins)
BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 21st December 2021
Ian (played by Mark Rylance) has gone to work for neighbouring landowner Theo Buckhurst as Liv (Sophie Okonedo) prepares to sell up to Wildscapes – but nature, as ever, has a different plan, and a major flood event is forecast to engulf Fleggwick.
The third in the series of Steve Waters' seasonal dramas follows the life of a fictional wetlands nature reserve, over the period of one year.
Storm clouds are well and truly established over the nature reserve Liv has inherited from her father. The oncoming flood will bring a pulse of salt water into the Fen, threatening countless fresh water species. And with plans to sell Fleggwick also complete, the future looks decidedly insecure in this otherwise beautiful corner of Norfolk.
Song of the Reed is recorded on location at RSPB's Strumpshaw Fen. The story is informed by the sounds of the reserve as well as the real work and science of conservation taking place in the face of rapid environmental change in the wetlands of Norfolk, and everywhere.

STEVE WATERS - SONG OF THE REED - 2. WHIRLPOOL (320kbs-m4a/100mb/44mins)
BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 22nd September 2021
We return to Fleggwick where the search is on to find the miniscule Whirlpool Ramshorn Snail – a tiny creature whose presence would bolster the case for the reserve as a habitat for rare species.
Sophie Okonedo and Mark Rylance star in the second of Steve Waters' seasonal dramas following the life of a fictional wetlands nature reserve, over the period of one year.
Fleggwick, like the ecosystem it protects, is under threat. The site was not financially sustainable when its founder passed away, so his daughter Liv (Sophie Okonedo) needs to find a way for it to survive. But if that means selling out to 'trendy conservation', then Ian (Mark Rylance), the Warden, wants nothing to do with it.

It's a rainy summer's day and a Swallowtail Safari is being held at the reserve with members of the public, as well as a manager from WildScapes, visiting Fleggwick with the hope of catching a glimpse of the elusive and utterly beautiful swallowtail butterfly. The future of the reserve may ride on it.

THE FENS: DISCOVERING ENGLAND'S ANCIENT DEPTHS (OMNIBUS) (320kbs-m4a/152mb/66mins)
BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 7th October 2023
The Fens are a distinctive, complex, man-made and little understood landscape.
Francis Pryor has lived in, excavated, farmed, walked and loved the Fens country for more than 40 years - its levels and drains, its soaring churches, its magnificent medieval buildings. Interweaving personal experience and passion, the graft and grime of the dig, and lyrical evocations of place, he offers a unique portrait of a neglected but remarkable area of England.
Dr Pryor counterpoints the history of the Fen landscape and its transformation with the story of his own exploration of it as an archaeologist. He recounts his thrilling Bronze Age discoveries in the early 1970s at Fengate and then, a decade later, at Flag Fen near Peterborough - and what those remarkable finds tell us about our ancient ancestors and the way they lived and farmed the land.
We learn how the waterlogged landscape can be a treasure trove for archaeologists and how archaeology has the power to challenge some common misconceptions. Dr Pryor also turns his attention to the future of this low lying area of Eastern England and the challenges we face in preserving it.
Francis Pryor is one of Britain's most distinguished living archaeologists, specialising in the study of the Bronze and Iron Ages. He has now retired from full-time field archaeology but still appears on television and writes books as well as being a working sheep farmer.

HOW THE UK CHANGED HIP-HOP FOREVER - 0. THIS IS... HOW THE UK CHANGED HIP-HOP FOREVER (320kbs-m4a/4mb/2mins)
BBC Radio 1Xtra broadcast: 19th July 2023
Rapper and actor Ashley Walters explores the surprising but significant moments where the UK has shaped hip hop, from the artists and producers to the chance meetings that influenced a generation. From Jay Z's first trip to London to one of the most sampled records of all time, Drake's love of British music to the making of some of hip hop's greatest record, each episode tells a story of how the UK has shaped hip hop throughout its history.
HOW THE UK CHANGED HIP-HOP FOREVER - 1. WHEN JAY-Z WENT TO HARROW ROAD (320kbs-m4a/45mb/19mins)
BBC Radio 1Xtra broadcast: 31st July 2023
The Grammy Awards in 2023 were a who's who of hip hop, with some of the greatest rappers of all time coming together celebrating 50 years of one of the world's most influential genres. Onstage is Jay-Z one of the greatest of the greats and born and raised in New York City - the birthplace of hip hop. During his verse he shouts out a street in West London... Harrow Road. Why?
Ashley Walters explores why Jay-Z's trip to London in the 80s had such a profound effect on him that he is still rapping about it over 30 years later.
Over the years Jay-Z has returned to the UK again and again, making history as the first rapper to headline Glastonbury. Why was the show so controversial and how has it changed hip hop?
In this episode we hear from Jay-Z, hip hop journalist Elliott Wilson (Rap Radar), Nick Raphael and Mimi The Music Blogger.

BBC Radio 1Xtra broadcast: 31st July 2023
How would you feel if you got a call from Public Enemy personally inviting you down to their show?
In the early days of hip hop, the UK scene was small but exciting. It was hard to discover the music, and those who did formed a strong community of breakers, rappers and dancers. When Public Enemy came to the UK for their first show they were determined to reach out and make sure the scene was invited. Everybody showed up for their legendary Def Jam show at the Hammersmith Odeon, even if they couldn't get tickets.
That show was inspirational for hip hop across the world. But what nobody who was there that night could have known is that the show would be written into history.

HOW THE UK CHANGED HIP-HOP FOREVER - 3. THE RULER (320kbs-m4a/35mb/15mins)
BBC Radio 1Xtra broadcast: 31st July 2023
What do Robbie Williams, Snoop and Miley Cyrus have in common? They all sample the same song, Doug E Fresh and Slick Rick's La Di Da Di.
La Di Da Di is one of the most sampled records of all time, with artists still borrowing Slick Rick's distinctive vocals, lyrics and ad libs for their own tunes nearly 40 years later. And one of the things that made Rick the Ruler's vocals distinctive was his accent… because he was born in Mitcham.
An instant classic when it dropped, La Di Da Di was also sampled by two of the biggest East and West Coast rappers at the height of the East/West divide within a couple of years of each other. But Rick wasn't around to see the reaction.
This is the story of one of the first great British-born rappers who continues to influence hip hop right up until today.
In this episode, we hear from Slick Rick, hip hop journalist Elliott Wilson (Rap Radar), rapper Cookie Pryce, Romesh Ranganathan and Mark Ronson.

HOW THE UK CHANGED HIP-HOP FOREVER - 4. SUPA DUPA SOUTHALL (320kbs-m4a/47mb/20mins)
BBC Radio 1Xtra broadcast: 7th August 2023
When Timbaland dropped Missy Elliott's Get Your Freak On, it kickstarted a trend of Indian and Arabic samples in hip hop. Meanwhile, in London, a group of producers and artists were inspired by Timbaland… and were also using the exact same sample CD. They were blending Bollywood tunes with hip hop and came to be known as the Desi Beats scene, with artists like Jay Sean, Panjabi Hit Squad, Rishi Rich and Panjabi MC breaking through.
When Timbaland touched down in the UK a few years later, his first port of call was Southall, sometimes known as ‘little India' and the heart of the Desi Beats scene.
In this episode, we hear from Timbaland, Missy Elliott, Romesh Ranganathan, Rav Patti from Panjabi Hit Squad and Jay Sean.

BBC Radio 1Xtra broadcast: 7th August 2023
Amongst all the references to alcohol in hip hop, one drink reference stands out... Ribena. How did it end up getting name checked on one of hip hop's biggest US/UK collabs?
In the 90s and 00s, the UK hip hop scene was still quite small. Estelle cut her teeth freestyling in record shops before moving to the US. She ended up collaborating with Kanye West on American Boy – a tune that would become iconic.
The road wasn't easy, from leaving the UK in the first place to battling people's perceptions of how a Black British girl should break the States… Ashley reflects on his own experiences with 50 Cent and on some of the other British rappers who have tried to break the states.

The highlight of Drake's UK tour in 2019 was unarguably when J Hus – released from prison that week – appeared alongside him onstage. It was the latest in a long line of links with the UK and Drake's success smashed perceptions of who could be the world's biggest rapper.
When singer Kyla got a call in 2016 saying a huge international artist wanted to use her tune Do You Mind, she thought it was an April Fools joke.
Ashley reflects on the conversation with Drake that kickstarted Top Boy going to Netflix and reveals the impact the show had for British rappers stateside.

HOW THE UK CHANGED HIP-HOP FOREVER - 8. UK TO THE WORLD (320kbs-m4a/44mb/19mins)
BBC Radio 1Xtra broadcast: 14th August 2023
Dave and Central Cee are part of the new wave of British artists taking rap further than ever before. They stand on the shoulders of the innovators and pioneers who have come before, from those in the early UK hip hop scene, the artists who made waves in the States and the producers who opened up international ears for British music.
In 2023, all eyes are on Central Cee. How did the way he built his fanbase shape his journey? Why was his LA Leakers freestyle so significant? And how did and Dave manage to break streaming history?
In this episode we hear from Central Cee, rapper and YouTube reactor Scru Face Jean, hip hop journalist Elliott Wilson, 1Xtra's Tiffany Calver, Romesh Ranganathan and Mimi the Music Blogger.

DESERT ISLAND DISCS: ADRIAN EDMONDSON (320kbs-m4a/155mb/68mins)
BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 17th September 2023
Adrian Edmondson first shot to national fame in 1982, playing the studded punk Vyvyan in the TV sitcom The Young Ones, set in a seedy student flat. The cast largely came from the developing alternative comedy scene, and included Rik Mayall and Alexei Sayle.
Adrian was born in Bradford in 1957. He spent time as a child in Cyprus, Bahrain and Uganda, following his father who worked as a teacher for the armed forces. He attended a boarding school in Yorkshire from the age of 11, where he often rebelled against its rules and restrictions, but enjoyed performing in school plays.
He headed to Manchester University to study drama, where he soon met Rik Mayall. They bonded over their shared interests in comedy, double acts, violent slapstick and the plays of Samuel Beckett. It was the start of a long performing partnership and friendship, which included the anarchic TV comedy and long-running touring show Bottom and a production of Beckett's Waiting for Godot on the West End stage.
Adrian has also worked widely as an actor and musician, including an acclaimed appearance as Scrooge for the RSC, and performances with the reunited Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.
Adrian married Jennifer Saunders in 1985, and they have three daughters.

DESERT ISLAND DISCS REVISITED: BRITISH MUSIC MAKERS - JARVIS COCKER (320kbs-m4a/98mb/43mins)
BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 3rd September 2023
Pulp's singer and musician, Jarvis Cocker is castaway by Sue Lawley.
Jarvis formed the band Pulp in the late 1970s and says that as a gawky, self-conscious teenager he felt pop music did not properly inform him about the disappointments and miseries of growing up - and he was determined to write songs that included "the messy bits and the awkward, fumbling bits".
He had to wait more than a decade to find success - but Pulp went on to become one of the most popular bands of the 1990s, with hits including Do You Remember the First Time? Sorted For Es And Wizz and Common People.
The band's crowning glory was its performance of 'Common People' at the Glastonbury festival in 1995.
The following year, Jarvis Cocker made headlines again - this time the tabloid front pages after he invaded the stage while Michael Jackson was performing at the pop industry's annual awards ceremony. Fans were thrilled, but it marked the beginning of a difficult time in the singer's life.
Now he is married with a young son and living in Paris and has recently written songs for Nancy Sinatra and Marianne Faithfull as well as writing the music for the film Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire.

Stephen Fry is castaway by Kirsty Young.
Comedian, actor, writer, director, presenter and award-ceremony host – Stephen's list of accomplishments is long, varied and impressive.
His younger years were troubled and with a propensity for stealing and lying, he was expelled from two schools and imprisoned for credit card fraud. The turning point came when he knuckled down and won a scholarship to Queens' College, Cambridge, where he read English and joined the Cambridge Footlights, becoming lifelong friends with Emma Thompson and Hugh Laurie.
His career highlights include the fruits of his collaborative work with Laurie – from A Bit of Fry and Laurie to Jeeves and Wooster, he played Lord Melchett in Blackadder and Oscar Wilde on the big screen. He is a best-selling author of fiction and three volumes of autobiography, is the voice of the Harry Potter audio books and presents BBC Two's QI.
Stephen has also spoken of his experience of mental health issues and in 2006 he made a documentary exploring the effects of living with Bipolar - it won an Emmy Award.

BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 24th August 2023
Comedy legend John Cleese discusses his BBC TV sitcom masterpiece, Fawlty Towers.
He's sharing the inside story with TV veterans Peter Fincham and Jon Plowman.
John traces the beginnings of Basil Fawlty all the way back to his work on Monty Python ("nice though the abattoir is…"), and talks about the real hotelier who inspired the character.
He tells us about the writing and casting of the show, and discusses some of the challenges of bringing a character like Fawlty to the screen.
And John talks about the doomed American effort to remake Fawlty, but with one tiny change – the leading character Basil was written out!

ELVIS'S SUITCASE OF 78s (320kbs-m4a/137mb/60mins)
BBC Radio 6 Music broadcast: 16th August 2023
In January 1968 Elvis Presley selected 26 of his favourite old 78 records, which he had owned since he was a teenager, wrapped them in newspaper, packed them in a small suitcase and headed for Nashville, where he asked his friend and guitarist Scotty Moore to dub his treasured records on to reel to reel tape, so he could listen to them at home without running the risk of scratching or breaking them.
Once the 78 singles were copied Elvis asked Scotty to send him the tapes but keep hold of the records, as he didn't want to run the risk of them being damaged - and he said he'd drop by one day and pick them up.
But Elvis never got around to collecting those records and 47 years later, those old 78's are still there in that old suitcase in Scotty's house.
Chris Isaak, a huge fan of both Scotty Moore and Elvis wanted to find out more about the collection of records that meant so much to Elvis, so he visited Scotty at home in Nashville to explore the contents of `Elvis's Suitcase of 78's' - a great collection of the songs that inspired a teenage Elvis Presley, offering a fascinating insight in to the music he treasured.
The records date from 1948 to 1957 and reveal a lot about the type of music Elvis listened to in his formative years – many of them he would subsequently record himself and it's interesting that there is such a variety in the styles of music on those records from rockabilly and pop to gospel and doo wop.
