On the island they are called 'Restavecs', children given board and lodging in exchange for unpaid work around the home. There are estimated to be over a quarter of a million Restavecs in Haiti. And the number has almost certainly swelled with the children left orphaned by the earthquake earlier this year. Jean-Robert Cadet tells Fergal Keane about how his early experience as a slave has affected his life and why he is putting pressure on the Haitian government to make the practice unacceptable.

Bettany Hughes - The Hemlock Cup: Socrates, Athens and the Search for the Good Life

Episode 2

Written by Bettany Hughes.

Socrates lived in a city that nurtured the key ingredients of contemporary civilisation - democracy, liberty, science, drama, rational thought- yet, as he wrote nothing in his lifetime, he himself is an enigmatic figure. "The Hemlock Cup" tells his story, setting him in the context of the Eastern Mediterranean that was his home, and dealing with him as he himself dealt with the world.

The young Socrates listens to the great thinkers of Athens and begins to form his own philosophical thoughts on life.

Abridged by Libby Spurrier

Notes

Wives and Daughters was written in the 1860s and serialised in the Cornhill Magazine. It is set in the 1820s and deals to a large extent with the position of women in Society. Elizabeth Gaskell left it unfinished, so any dramatiser of the novel is faced with guessing the intended outcome of the story.

Theresa Heskins previously adapted Lady Audley's Secret for the Woman's Hour serial, and has adapted Bleak House and Great Expectations for the New Vic Theatre, North Staffordshire, where she is Artistic Director.


TUE 11:00 Saving Species (b00wdgmn)
Series 1

Episode 32

32/40. This is a special programme in front of an audience from the 100 Foot Washes in Norfolk. This wonderland of a wetland is refuge to 3000 Bewick's Swans and 700 Whooper Swans during the winter. The Bewicks have migrated from Arctic Russia and the Whoopers from their Arctic breeding grounds in Iceland. The programme is being recorded at the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust's bird Observatory at their Welney Centre. We'll guarantee sound, drama and enlightening conversation from our invited panel and an audience all in the company of these birds that have been said to "carry winter on their wings". Many would say they love swans, but are the wetlands on which they reside in winter or nest in summer revered to the same extent? Do wetlands have a bad image of "swamps and smelly mud" rather than places of beauty? Does it help they are branded places "rich in biodiversity" and perform "essential ecological services" - do we need to like wetlands to appreciate their value to wildlife and us - do they need to be re-branded? All questions for the panel and audience.

TUE 11:30 3D In Perspective (b00wdgmq)
Bringing together the science of 3D TV with a wide-ranging history of art and entertainment, Andrew Collins examines our centuries-old fascination with representing the world that exists in three visual dimensions. In modern 3D entertainment, today's technologists are fighting the same battles with geometry, depth of field, light and texture as 15th Century painters. Award-winning visual effects supervisor, Paddy Eason discusses the debt that 3D imaging owes to its painterly predecessors.

At The National Gallery, art historian Professor David Ekserdjian explains how, from the changing shape of a canvas to the arrival of oil paint, the architects and artists of the Renaissance, challenged our notions of reality. Andrew enters a world of optical illusion, trawling piles of perspective pictures and stereo photographs at The Bill Douglas Centre for The History of Cinema and Popular Culture. Lecturer in Victorian Studies, John Plunkett explains, the appeal of 18th and 19th century optical or 'philosophical' toys, made possible by good lenses and mirrors. Often dismissed as novelty, they emerged from groundbreaking research on the physiology of vision.

The history of 3D is littered with failed technologies, including 3D films that predate cinema sound. Professor Neil Dodgson from The Computer Laboratory in Cambridge is a 3D expert. He outlines the obstacles, in particular the poorly paid projectionist and ultimately the limitations of human vision. Neuroscientist Dr Sue Barry, understands the visceral appeal of 3D. Aged 50, she experienced her first thrilling sense of 3D immersion after years of being 'stereoblind' and suggests why we are so preoccupied with experiencing virtual 3D space.

Producer: Tamsin Hughes

A Testbed production for BBC Radio 4 first broadcast in December 2010.


TUE 12:00 You and Yours (b00wdgms)
The White Paper proposes the creation of a new Public Health Service to spearhead national strategies which will help support people in maintaining their health. This will be mainly at community level through local councils, whilst keeping a firm grip on national public health issues such as flu pandemics.

Central to the proposed changes is the Governments commitment to tackle the causes of premature death and ill health. Under these new plans, local authorities will work on 'health improvement strategies' and be asked to target money where it is most needed in the community. It is also proposed that GP's will be rewarded for taking up public health issues such as obesity and smoking with their patients. In addition to this GP consortia will be represented on health and wellbeing boards created at local authority level.

There will be five Public Health Responsibility Deal networks, involving charities and industry, alcohol, physical activity, health at work and behaviour change.

Will it encourage people to lead healthier lives?

Are we more likely to respond favourably to further rules and regulations - such as the ban on smoking in public places - or would a clear 'nudge' in the right direction actually be more effective? And what's the difference between a 'nudge' and a 'push'?

TUE 13:30 Vital Mental Medicine: Shackleton's Banjo (b00wdgr5)
As his ship was sinking through the Antarctic pack-ice, Ernest Shackleton allowed each member of his expedition to take 2lbs of possessions with them as they abandoned ship. One exception was made; Shackleton saved Leonard Hussey's banjo saying, "We must have that banjo. It's vital mental medicine."

So it proved; when Shackleton set off in a small boat to sail to South Georgia to get help, he left behind on Elephant Island twenty-two men. They lived for months under an upturned boat and some old sails. Every Saturday the banjo-playing meteorologist mounted a concert. He composed songs and whenever they caught a seal to eat brought out his banjo. He played, the men sang - and anger and depression were kept at bay.

Leonard Hussey survived, as did his banjo, now in the National Maritime Museum, its skin marked with a dozen signatures of members of the failed expedition to the South Pole.

Tim van Eyken is best known as a squeeze-box player and singer - he was the Song Man in 'War Horse' at the National Theatre. But he also plays the banjo. Tim explores the character of Hussey and the role he and his banjo played in saving the sanity of the explorers. He plays some of his songs - sadly not on Hussey's banjo, which is too fragile, but on his own, made by Pete Stanley, who sheds some light on the original instrument.

Tim also hears from Pieter van der Merwe of the National Maritime Museum about the importance of music in expeditions and, thanks to some remarkable archive recordings, Hussey himself. He plays the tune Shackleton asked for the night he died. Hussey reveals, too, that his banjo had seen action in warmer climes, "having among other things been played to an audience of cannibals in Africa."

Producer: Julian May.

TUE 15:00 Home Planet (b00wdgsf)
We are all urged to put our empty cans, wrappers and bottles in the recycling box, but is what is the real cost of this process and is it a sensible use of resources? Electric cars are advertised as costing just pence to run, a fraction of the cost of a tank of petrol. But does this reflect the true cost of running these vehicles? Should we be more concerned about the release of vast quantities of methane as the frozen tundra thaws and is a cement that absorbs more carbon dioxide than it takes to produce too good to be true? And do calculations of global warming take into consideration the recent, unusually cold long clear nights

Answering the questions today are Human Geographer Professor Sue Buckingham of Brunel University; Mike Hulme, Professor of Climate Change at the University of East Anglia and Professor Philip Stott an environmental scientist from the University of London.

Last Train to Helsingor

In these three specially-commissioned tales by Heidi Amsinck, Denmark is a place of twilight and shadows: a mysterious place where strange and often dark things happen. In 'Last Train to Helsingor' Henrik Borg has done well for himself; he drive a Mercedes to and from work though prefers the train from Copenhagen to Helsingor, because it is predictable.

But things start to go wrong when Borg falls asleep, and wakes up in a mysterious, deserted railway siding.

TUE 15:45 More Than A Game (b00pr52g)
Revolution, the Melbourne Olympics and Water Polo

Professor Anthony King reports on the brutally suppressed revolution against Soviet rule in Hungary; the Melbourne Olympics of 1956 and the most infamous water polo match in history. For a time in '56 it looked as though the popular uprising in Budapest against Soviet rule might succeed, but it wasn't long before the Soviet tanks rolled back in. But at the same time, the Hungarian team had been able to set out for the Olympics in Melbourne. It wasn't until they reached Darwin that they learned that the uprising had been put down. The water polo team were the reigning Olympic champions and determined to defend the title. In the semi-finals, they were drawn against the Soviet Union. The game turned into a bloodbath, it became known as the "blood in the water" match, but the Hungarians won and did eventually retain their Olympic title.


TUE 16:00 Anatomy Of... (b00rxj4x)
Mental Illness

From the makers of the Sony award-winning Anatomy of a Car Crash, the series that dissects those often neglected everyday dramas that change ordinary lives forever.

The story of Angela, who was sectioned under the Mental Health Act. In 2005, Angela was busy and successful, working for an NHS Trust as well as running three parenting groups. As she pushed herself harder and harder, though, her behaviour started to become increasingly bizarre, leading family and colleagues to worry about her mental health. Following a psychotic episode at home, Angela was sectioned and admitted to hospital.

The programme traces Angela's experiences, speaking to her family and friends about the impact of late onset bipolar disorder on their lives. Those who cared for her in hospital recall Angela's slow path to recovery.

Producer: Laurence Grissell.


TUE 16:30 Great Lives (b00wdgxd)
Series 23

Malcolm McLaren

Matthew Parris presents the life of the great rock and roll swindler, Malcolm McLaren, who died earlier this year.

'I've been called many things,' McLaren wrote as advance publicity for his one man show, 'a charlatan, a con man, or the culprit responsible for turning popular culture into nothing more than a cheap marketing gimmick. This is my chance to prove these accusations are true.'

The man behind the Sex Pistols and Duck Rock is nominated by public relations expert Mark Borkowski, author of The Fame Formula, and a man who knew him well. What intrigues Borkowski is not just the success, but the myths that have evolved around this highly manipulative man. Matthew Parris is more sceptical, as is Chris Salewicz. As a journalist for NME between 1974-1981, Salewicz watched McLaren rewrite the rules of management. He also introduced the Sex Pistols to the man from EMI who then signed them up. An intriguing programme about fame, the media, and why the truth should not be confused with an easily believable myth.

The producer is Miles Warde.

Future subjects in the series include Samuel Beckett, Nye Bevan, and JB Priestley who is nominated by Barry Cryer.

TUE 20:00 A Level Playing Field for the Paralympics (b00wdh4t)
The Beijing Paralympics in 2008 brought the full glories of disabled sport to a worldwide audience and set up a host of expectations for 2012 . But behind the scenes of triumph, longstanding controversies were raging which have dogged many Paralympic Games over the decades. In this programme, to mark the 50th anniversary of the Paralympics, Peter White explores the issues behind the Games and asks what changes are being made to improve conditions for athletes in time for London 2012.

One of these controversies centres on the classification of disabled athletes, a system which uses medical evidence, examination and in-competition appraisals to try to ensure parity of ability. However, over the years, the process, which divides the athletes into many, often confusing sub-groups has become fraught with problems and anomalies. In 2008, the British competitor Rebecca Chinn had a silver medal taken away after being judged to have been put in the wrong category.

Another issue which has dogged the Paralympics recently has been whether to include athletes with learning disabilities. Although they had previously taken part in many events, they were ejected from the Paralympics after the Sydney Games in 2000, when fit Spanish athletes pretended to have learning difficulties and won gold. London's bid contained plans to include them again, and in this programme, we follow the new testing methods which have been developed to bring these athletes back in 2012.

The programme also explores the deep-rooted tension within the Paralympics - are they the home of quasi-professionalism with big money tie-ins, or should they retain the school sports day tradition from which they emerged, of gentle encouragement and the odd race rerun when something goes wrong?

To mark the 50th anniversary of the Paralympics, Peter White explores the preparations for the next games and investigates past and potential inconsistencies underlying them. He hears the athletes' stories and draws on archive from the past to contextualise today's debates and look forward to 2012.

Producer: Emma Kingsley.

Now, a decade later, starvation and bitter cold have been replaced with fear and suspicion, as the people of Leningrad do their best to keep their heads down and their lives unremarkable in an era of accusations, arrests and the midnight knock at the door.

In today's episode: It is 1952, Leningrad and Andrei and Anna are just trying to live ordinary lives.
