For over 300 years, Japan closed itself to outsiders, developing a remarkable and unique culture.
During its period of isolation, the inhabitants of the city of Edo - later known as Tokyo - relied on its public bells to tell the time.
Anna Sherman tells of her search for the bells of Edo, exploring the city of Tokyo and its inhabitants and the individual and particular relationship of Japanese culture - and the Japanese language - to time, tradition, memory, impermanence and history.
Anna journeys around the city – calling on her friend – the owner of a small, exquisite cafe, who elevates the making and drinking of coffee to an art-form.
She captures a series of hauntingly memorable voices in the labyrinth that is the metropolis of the Japanese capital:
• an aristocrat plays in the sea of ashes left by the Allied firebombing of 1945
• a scientist builds the most accurate clock in the world, a clock that will not lose a second in five billion years.

Gardeners
Alan Titchmarsh
Broadcaster, author and gardener Alan Titchmarsh castaway by Sue Lawley.
Alan was drawn to gardening from an early age in Ilkley, Yorkshire, making his first polythene greenhouse at the age of 12 and deciding he was going to be a gardener when he grew up.
He left school at 15 and became an apprentice gardener in the Parks Department of Ilkley Urban District Council, going on to horticultural college at the age of 18. His interest in English literature and writing prompted him to apply for a job as assistant editor of gardening books at Hamlyn Publishing and he began to write gardening books of his own, publishing his first in 1976.
Alan experienced his first taste of TV when there was a plague of greenfly on the south coast and he was approached to report on it in Margate for Nationwide. He says, "I suddenly tasted blood. It was wow!, I like this. I want to do more."
He became a presenter of BBC 1's Daytime Live, a Birmingham-based chat show, interviewing stars like Placido Domingo, Barry Manilow and Julia Roberts.
He also presented Songs of Praise but never forgot his gardening, and took to the screens as a gardener with the amazingly successful garden make-over programme, Ground Force, in 1997.
As well as presenting the more 'serious' gardening programme, Gardener's World, Alan recently took viewers back to basics with the series How to be a Gardener and, having written a grand total of 37 gardening books, he remains the UK's premier gardener.

The Flaggy Shore by Gwyneth Lewis
Daljit Nagra chooses The Flaggy Shore by Gwyneth Lewis.
Taken from Ruth Padel's landmark series exploring the pleasures of writing and reading poems.
This edition comes from Swansea, where Ruth leads a workshop with the Junkbox poetry group - at The Dylan Thomas Centre.
To warm up their poetry muscles, the group try out some writing exercises. Then they work on developing and refining poems from two members of the group; acting (as Heaney describes it) as "the reader over my shoulder."
The poems are Milking Time by Becky Lowe and Still Life with Wine Glasses by Alan Kellerman.
Both have a sense of loss or longing. The group discuss line endings, alliteration and adjectives, and the effectiveness of their use in the two poems. They also enjoy and respond to a poem by Gwyneth Lewis that evokes that peculiarly Welsh phenomenon 'hiraeth'.

In between being interrupted by geese, Mark asks the people gathered on the grass in the RSC's outdoor performance area on the banks of the River Avon, just by the church where Shakespeare is buried, across from the Shakespeare ice-cream boat, not far from the Hamlet statue, if they've noticed any sort of theme to the place.
Mark also looks at what else Stratford has to offer and visits the Butterfly Farm, the Tudor World museum and he discovers that the town was also once the home of the Teletubbies.

The Nature of Spring by Jim Crumley
1. Harbingers
In a series of poetic vignettes, nature writer Jim Crumley paints a captivating picture of Scotland’s wilderness in spring and the joys of observing its abundant wildlife.
The staccato, jazzily-inventive sound of the mistle thrush singing for a mate acts as a harbinger of Spring while kestrels hover over the Stirlingshire hills and peregrine falcons act out their courtship.
A majestic sea eagle with its vast wingspan swoops incongruously over the Lowland hills and a peregrine starts to mimic the eagle’s flight pattern.
Then, at a mere ten yards, he’s face to face with a Roebuck, armed with blood-smeared antlers and a hostile stare.
Abridged in five parts by Linda Cracknell.

MON 09:30 A British History in Weather (b079ndwy)
1. The Weather Indoors
Alexandra Harris tells the story of how the weather has written and painted itself into the cultural life of Britain, the earliest days to the present, come rain come shine.
The weather finds us everywhere. Inside, we are out of the weather. That's the point.
But when we close the front door, we do not entirely shut the weather out.
This series bears witness to Britain's cultural climates across the centuries. Before the Norman Conquest, Anglo-Saxons living in a wintry world wrote about the coldness of exile or the shelters they had to defend against enemies outside.
The Middle Ages brought the warmth of spring; the new lyrics were sung in praise of blossoms and cuckoos.
Descriptions of a rainy night are rare before 1700, but by the end of the 18th century the Romantics had adopted the squall as a fit subject for their most probing thoughts.
A British History in Weather is a celebration of the British climate and a life story of those who have lived in it.

The Moth has presented more than 15,000 stories, told live and without notes, to standing-room-only crowds worldwide. The Moth podcast is downloaded over 27 million times a year.

3. Wind
Alexandra Harris tells the story of how the weather has written and painted itself into the cultural life of Britain.
The blasted country – a windy island.
"There was a proper gust, I remember, which sent dry leaves off across the pavement into shop doorways and blew back my hood. And something caught my eye as I looked up. Way above me in the grey sky, at the top of Chichester cathedral spire, there was a glint of light. It was the weathervane turning. It must just momentarily have caught the sun. And then there it was in distant silhouette again, with its big flat rooster tail. I'd never noticed it, and yet it had been up there all the time – up in the weather which goes on continuously, regardless of us, up there as well as down here in the street."

Please Leave a Message after the Tone
The voicemail is falling out of favour - and fast. It's increasingly seen as inefficient, impractical, even old-fashioned.
Writer and broadcaster Olly Mann charts its rise, fall and strange afterlife.
As our communications move ever more towards email, text, DMs and the rest, the etiquette, culture and unique characteristics of the voicemail and answerphone message are under threat.
As a podcaster, Ollyis fascinated by the voicemail. Leaving a voicemail message is not about having a conversation, but it can be an imagined conversation. It can be a performance of sorts.
While it may seem a relic of the late 20th Century, some of the biggest news events of this millennium have involved voicemails - including the phone hacking scandal where journalists broke into private messages and brought down the News of the World, and the ‘Sachsgate’ affair which started with an answering machine message. There are also a few surviving voicemails sent by victims of the 9/11 attacks.
Olly explores how voicemails have given life to, and fed the plots of, films and TV shows and impacted on many genres of music, as well as documentary - and daily life.
As more people ignore that red icon at the bottom corner of the phone screen, are these disembodied monologues worth saving?

* Tech journalist for Guardian US, Kari Paul,

Series 11
2. Al Murray interviews Ian Hislop
Pub Landlord creator, Al Murray passes the baton to the comedian and satirist Ian Hislop.
Chain Reaction is the long running hostless chat show where this week's interviewee becomes next week's interviewer.
After an early foray into stand-up as a character called 'The Murderer', Al Murray created his famous Pub Landlord character in the mid 90s as part of a touring show with Harry Hill. The Pub Landlord went on to tour venues and festivals worldwide before making his own chat show and sitcom for Sky. Outside of the Pub Landlord, Al presents history documentaries - and in 2015 stood as a candidate for parliament against Nigel Farage in the UK General Election.
Al's guest Ian Hislop is much more used to the cut and thrust of British politics both as a long-standing team captain on BBC TV's 'Have I Got News for You' and as the editor of satirical magazine Private Eye. As a dedicated fan and student of history, he has made several acclaimed documentaries on wide-ranging subjects including conscientious objectors and The Beeching Report.
Al grills Ian on his early days writing for such comedians as Harry Enfield, asks how we should define the role of the satirist and poses the intriguing question, 'what's it like being sued?'

The Sun: a rare treat?
"I kept a kind of weather diary during a hot spell last summer - the warm, basic ingredients from which summer days are made. There's the waking up already hot with a single sheet in a crumpled mess, and why does the traffic sound louder – oh yes, because the window's open behind the curtain. Best keep the curtains closed all day. So the house stays dark, and there's a white-green flash when you come back into it from brightness, before the eyes have adapted, as well as the swooning doziness of sitting at a desk again after half an hour in the sun. There's all the action in the street outside, people going to the park, hot children pulling scooters, hotter children crying, music from open car windows, wasps in the kitchen, a cloud of heat hovering half way up the stairs. In the evening the scent of lilac pools in the stillness; you can walk into it like a room."

Alan Ayckbourn - Absurd Person Singular
Three couples meet on three separate Christmas Eves in their respective kitchens.

There is, however, a sting in the tail and a dark undercurrent as the strains of the festive season and marriage take its toll.
Ayckbourn is one of the most successful comedy writers in the theatre and this play - like most classic comedies - reveals not only his wit but also the wicked and dark observations behind his humour.

5. Punishing Weather
Alexandra Harris tells the story of how the weather has ingrained itself into our culture.
Punishing weather: do we deserve the weather we get?
Weather and time have often been twinned. They are linked by one word in Latin, tempus. “Quel temps fait-il?”, ask the French. Proust's time regained is also the weather of memory revisited.
In English the connection is less clear because our word for weather is from Norse 'weder', but still there is a long and potent tradition of thought that links the passing of time with the mobile, changeful, ever-passing weather. In this tradition time and weather began together when Adam and Eve were expelled from Eden into an imperfect and impermanent world.

The girls' unconventional way of telling stories involves a concoction of thoroughly inappropriate modern-day metaphors and references to many of the ancient Irish stories.
With a natural knack for both comedy and character voices Yasmine Akram and Aisling Bea will bring you warm, modern re-workings of popular ancient Irish stories.
Today it's Tir Na Nog.
Written and performed by Aisling Bea and Yasmine Akram.
