Eleanor Bron reads from Michael Holroyd's biography of Ellen Terry and Henry Irving, two greats of the Victorian stage.
Despite Ellen's fears that the role of Lady Macbeth was beyond her capabilities, her performance was perhaps her greatest ever role. But after Macbeth, her relationship with Irving became more and more distant and her roles less and less demanding. The Lyceum suffered failure after failure, with Irving seemingly out of touch with contemporary trends as he ignored the work of modern playwrights such as Ibsen, Shaw and Wilde. The fortunes of the great theatre began to look very precarious.

On the other hand, international pressure is growing for a military solution to the war, which is now seen to threaten the strategic interests of the west in the region.

Volcanic Nanoparticles - Seawater Greenhouses
Volcanic Nanoparticles
How do volatile metals from volcanoes end up in polar ice cores? It has always been a mystery how trace metals, like mercury, with a volcanic signature find their way into polar ice in regions without nearby evidence of volcanic activity.
Now scientists think they have discovered the answer - volcanoes are a source of tiny nanoparticles. Until now no one knew that volcanoes did this.
Quentin is joined by Dr Tamsin Mather & Dr David Pyle, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford, who have been leading the new research. These nanoparticles are small enough to be carried around the world by the wind and could be involved in the formation of clouds and have a role in reflecting solar radiation back into space. They may also 'seed' distant patches of barren ocean with nutrients. Volcanoes may be large and explosive but their effects are now seen to pervasive and at happening at the very smallest of levels.
Seawater Greenhouses
The world is running short of accessible fresh water. With agriculture accounting for some 70% of all water used, the shortage is closely linked to food production. Fortunately, the world is not short of water itself, it’s just in the wrong place.
Converting seawater to fresh water in the right quantities and in the right places offers the potential to solve water shortage problems, particularly in arid areas.
A team comprising an inventor, an architect and an engineer have proposed a new technology that could produce food, fresh water and clean energy in arid regions as well as re-vegetating large areas of desert.
The Seawater Greenhouse is an ingenious technology that creates a cool growing environment in hot parts of the world and is a net producer of distilled water from seawater.
Quentin is joined seawater greenhouse designer Charlie Paton, Seawater Greenhouse Limited, and by Michael Pawlyn, Exploration, an architect who specialises in ‘biomimicry’ – designs that follow natural systems to solve problems.

A passing comment in the shop creates an argument between Pip and Susan, who has expressed her fears over the biodigester. Pip reacts angrily, and her considered argument for the project soon becomes infused with insults directed at Susan.
Lilian accompanies Matt to the nursing home where Matt's mother, Louise, agrees to meet them. Louise tells Matt how she fell pregnant at a young age and the father disappeared shortly afterwards.

Pat recounts the argument between Susan and Pip from the previous day. Ruth is shocked to learn how rude Pip had been. Ruth discusses Pip's behaviour with David, only to find Pip listening behind them. David appreciates Pip's support but thinks she was a bit over the top. Pip isn't sorry for what she said and begins to question how committed to saving the environment her parents are. Ruth attempts to calm Pip, and reassures her that she isn't alone in feeling frustrated at many people's apparent complacency towards environmental issues.
David calls Matt to express his concern about public opposition to the biodigester, but Matt seems preoccupied.
Lilian tells Jennifer how disappointed she had been at Matt's reunion with his mother, saying that she felt Louise agreed to see them purely out of curiosity. Lilian urges Matt to keep in touch with his mother, but Matt is convinced that Louise wants to be left alone. Matt seems upset, and Lilian feels responsible. She reminds him that he has her, and he wistfully agrees that makes him a lucky man.
