Moon Night: Chapter 3. Full Moon


MOON NIGHT: CHAPTER 3. FULL MOON (320kbs-m4a/164mb/1hr11mins)

BBC Radio 4 Extra broadcast: 25th March 2024

It sits around 240, 000 miles away from earth, yet it dominates our night sky, moves our oceans and has been a source of cultural and artistic wonder for thousands of years.

Across this full moon night, Kevin Fong takes a journey through the BBC Archive for a long look at our relationship with the moon.

Programmes include a lunar adventure with Jarvis Cocker, a study of werewolves with Mark Radcliffe, Helen Sharman hears from those who have stood on the moon itself, and Bill Nighy stars in a drama about how love and the moon could destroy the world.

Going through the night, from 10pm until 5am, join Kevin Fong for a unique night of radio adventures, taking you all the way to the moon and back.

In Chapter 3: Full Moon programmes include;

- A Sleepwalk on the Severn - The poet Alice Oswald's evocation of the experience of moonrise over the Severn Estuary.
- 28ish Days Later - Day Twenty-One: In the Moonlight
- Ramblings - we join Clare Balding for part of her walk along the South Downs Way, this time at night under a full moon.
