Off-air recordings for week 16th-22nd August 2008
Please email Rich Deakin rdeakin@glos.ac.uk if you would like any of the following programmes / series recording.*
The Archive Hour: Fortress Totobag - The Story of the Notting Hill Riots. "Henry Bonsu recalls the Notting Hill riots of August 1958. At 9 Blenheim Crescent, known as Fortress Totobag, fighting between West Indians and teddy boys reached a peak on Monday September 1. The cafe acted as a community centre and information bureau for newcomers to the area, but also served as a gambling den and Caribbean music venue. As white hostility to the growing black presence grew, tensions erupted into violence."
Team Spirit - "In this five-part radio series, Claudia Hammond looks at the psychology of team dynamics. By visiting groups around the country and talking to leading academics, she'll find out what makes successful teams tick."
Costing the Earth - part 1 Summer of Mud (six-part radio series). "Costing The Earth packs up its tent pegs and heads out for a summer of mud as guest presenter Tom Robinson investigates whether punters and musicians at festivals really do care about the environment. This summer, millions of people will attend one of the hundreds of events that now fill the summer diary, from the established mega-festivals such as Glastonbury, to the small-scale Truck festival in Oxfordshire. Renewable energy-powered stages, biodegradeable tent pegs and car-share schemes are a few of the growing attempts to reduce the impact of summer festivals on their surroundings. Many festivals now promote a "leave no trace" policy; however, Costing The Earth investigates whether the party-goers – and the artists – actually adhere to it."
The Homecoming: Alexander Solzhenitsyn's Return to Russia. "An epic, two month train journey across Russia with one of the world's greatest writers, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, who died earlier this month. The programme follows him on his return home to Russia in 1994 with his family after 20 years of enforced exile in America."
Megastructures - Beijing Olympic Stadium. "... one of the world's largest enclosed facilities-the Beijing National Stadium. 42,000 tons of twisted steel, and a stadium to seat 90,000 people-one of the biggest and most ambitious constructions projects ever attempted in modern China. Against the backdrop of China's Olympics, this programme examines the unique features of the "bird's nest" stadium, following its design, engineering and construction up."

Off-air recordings for week 9th-15th August 2008
Please email Rich Deakin rdeakin@glos.ac.uk if you would like any of the following programmes / series recording.*
Comics Britannia - Anarchy in the UK 3/3
"In the 1970s and 1980s comic books became darker, more graphic and more adult. This programme features interviews with ground-breaking writers such as Alan Moore, who spearheaded this new wave of comics." Part of the Comics Britannia season.
Make Me A Christian - "The Reverend George Hargreaves thinks Britain is in a state of moral decline and that a return to a more 'Christian' way of life would stop the rot. He and his team of mentors aim to show how by convincing a group of non-Christian volunteers to live by the teachings of the Bible for three weeks."
Britain From Above - new three part BBC1 series with 3 part accompanying BBC2 series.
"Britain looks very different from the skies. From a bird's eye view of the nation, its workings, cities, landscapes and peoples are revealed and rediscovered in new and extraordinary ways. Like a constantly moving machine, with its cogs and wheels permanently in motion, or like a living animal with blood coursing through its veins and arteries, the way the country works is revealed from above in a uniquely compelling way.
The Real Life On Mars - "Part of BBC FOUR's Brit Cop season. Documentary about policing in Britain in the 1970s. Former police and criminals talk about the truth behind 1970s policing."
Hadrian - "Dan Snow takes a look around the Roman emperor's vast former empire."
Timewatch: Hadrian's Wall - "It is unique in the Roman World. A spectacular and complex stone barrier measuring 74 miles long, and up to 15 feet high and 10 feet thick. For 300 years Hadrian's Wall stood as the Roman Empire's most imposing frontier and one of the unsung wonders of the ancient world."
High Culture For All In Postwar Britain: The Third Programme - "The BBC's Third Programme launched in 1946, promising high-culture that was available to all. Yet within years it was in crisis. This documentary explores how The Third Programme's successes and failures reflected profound changes in British culture."
Word of Mouth (seven part radio series on BBC Radio 4) - "BBC Radio's Word of Mouth is a programme about English and the way it is spoken. It is broadcast regularly on BBC Radio 4 and is presented by Michael Rosen. The programme looks at all aspects of the spoken word from slang, acronyms, strange vocabulary, jargon and has a very lively message board to which the presenter regularly contributes. The programme is part of a stable of network radio programmes produced in Bristol for Radio 4."
