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."
