SAT SAT 02:15 Disability: A New History b01snxyf (Listen) SAT Finding a Voice SAT Peter White draws on the latest research to reveal the lives SAT of physically disabled people in the 18th and 19th SAT centuries. SAT Today - Finding a Voice: Peter discovers William Hay, an SAT 18th century MP born with spinal curvature who has left us a SAT remarkably revealing account of his life. SAT Peter comments, "This series has been full of surprises for SAT me - surprises even after making programmes about disability SAT for 30 years. But perhaps this discovery has been for me the SAT most startling. It's a book which very few people know SAT about, and even fewer have read - a personal exploration of SAT what it's like to be disabled in the 18th century. It's full SAT of insights we like to think of as modern." SAT In his book "On Deformity", William Hay describes his life SAT as a disabled MP, in Parliament and on the streets. He SAT reveals the daily humiliation of being a man of restricted SAT growth and his fear of rowdy crowds. But he also proudly SAT challenges the conventional thinking of the time that his SAT disability makes him ill. He gives advice to other men in SAT his situation about which careers they should follow. And he SAT excels at self-deprecating humour - sometimes, he confesses, SAT he feels like "a Worm". SAT Hay's essay is seen by historians as ground-breaking - SAT because in William Hay, disability had for the first time SAT found a voice. But Hay is a challenging role model for SAT modern disability activists. SAT With historians David Turner, Naomi Baker, Tim Hitchcock and SAT Chris Mounsey and readings by Jonathan Keeble.

SAT Thousands of years later we know that our earliest, most SAT basic idea about our place in the cosmos was false, and that SAT that cosmos is vastly larger than we ever dreamed. We are SAT mere specks..." SAT Richard Cohen took eight years to write his account of the SAT sun. The sun's biography, in fact. He looks at the myth, the SAT legend, the science. Also the social context and how the sun SAT figures in various art forms. And, will it be with us for SAT ever? We have to hope so. His celebration of that gold disc SAT in the sky is now caught in five episodes... SAT 5. How long will the sun shine? And time for the autor to SAT seek the perfect sunset...

SAT Here, he draws on the oral histories that he has gathered - SAT recollections by former pupils, teachers and policy-makers - SAT to show that, for as long as history has been taught, the SAT questions of what history should be taught, how history SAT should be taught, how much history should be taught, and to SAT whom it should be taught, have caused fierce debate. SAT These oral histories - which will be housed at the British SAT Library from 2012 - form a varied, complex, and often SAT surprising archive of how the teaching of history in English SAT state schools has evolved. David Cannadine also brings us SAT gems from the rich archive of schools history radio and TV SAT programmes. Together, these recordings both flesh out SAT vividly what we already know, either from our own experience SAT or from that of our parents, grandparents or indeed children SAT and grandchildren, and crucially, they explode some of the SAT myths and preconceptions about school history in the past.

MON Peter White says, "When as a teenager I said I wanted to be MON a broadcaster, there was a sharp intake of breath. Shouldn't MON I be considering becoming a piano tuner, or a MON physiotherapist? That's what blind people did. I wanted to MON know what it was like in the past, when people had to work - MON or starve." MON What he discovers is surprising - disabled people were MON everywhere in the 19th century work-force. In some parts of MON the country, more than 60% of nurses had a disability. For MON other disabled men and women, earning a living meant MON creating a particular niche for themselves. Peter uncovers MON the career of the blind poet Priscilla Pointon, who made a MON living writing poetry about her life - signing up hundreds MON of people on a subscription list to become a wealthy woman. MON She was just one in a long tradition of blind poets. MON Peter also discovers a treasure trove of letters from MON disabled people seeking work in the Victorian period, which MON have been collected by Professor Stephen King of Leicester MON University. They describe the indignity of being assessed by MON the authorities of the day, and their anger at being accused MON of faking disability. There are some striking parallels with MON today, when the debate about work and disability is in full MON swing.

TUE Strangely, wooden legs were thought to be sexy in the 19th TUE century. During the 22 years of war with France, tens of TUE thousands of British soldiers and sailors gave their lives TUE for their country. Surviving, with a missing limb, became TUE tangible proof of valour - and virility. TUE However, the reality of life with a wooden leg was anything TUE but romantic. Peter White discovers an extraordinary account TUE written by a 19th century soldier, Thomas Jackson, who lost TUE his leg in battle: TUE "Military surgeons are not very nice about hurting one. What TUE with the tearing off of the bandages, and the opening of the TUE wound afresh, and the tying of the ligaments of the TUE arteries, I fear in my feeble strength I must have sunk TUE under the excruciating pain. When fitted on, my wooden leg TUE was strapped by the knee. I looked down with the same kind TUE of satisfaction which a dog does when he gets a tin kettle TUE tied to his tail." TUE But William Jackson was one of the lucky ones. As a military TUE man, he had access to the latest technology. Disabled women TUE were not so lucky - and could be confined to the house, TUE unable to leave their bedroom. Two case studies - one TUE soldier, one genteel woman in Bath - reveal how expectations TUE of mobility were limited by gender. And how crucial it was TUE to have individual ambition.

Spark worked as a novelist, dramatist and WED children's author, but it is perhaps her short stories that WED best exemplify her sharp eye and beautifully-crafted work, WED where she coolly probes the idiosyncrasies that lurk beneath WED veneer of human respectability. WED The three stories in this series include the darkly funny WED 'Ladies and Gentlemen', which contrasts well with the wry WED humour of social comedy 'The Snobs' and the sharp satire of WED class, aspiration and phobia in this vignette: 'You Should WED Have Seen the Mess', read by Jane Collingwood. WED Here, Muriel Spark revels in the pettiness of the British WED psyche in an acerbic story of a girl who turns her back on WED life's opportunities for fear of a little dirt.

WED WED 14:15 Disability: A New History b02143yp (Listen) WED Sex and Marriage WED Peter White explores sex and marriage between disabled WED people and reveals the shameful history of eugenics in WED Britain. WED The programme begins with a document from Buckingham Palace WED - an order for some glamorous undergarments for a Royal WED Trousseau. They were sewn by the women of the Girls' WED Friendly Society, a group of disabled seamstresses who made WED a living by sewing sexy underwear. But they themselves had WED no expectation of marriage, or a sex life. In fact, if they WED were discovered not to be a virgin they were expelled from WED the group. WED For disabled women - or men - the idea of sex or marriage WED was taboo. The programme traces the fear of "bad blood" - WED the early and shameful history of the eugenics movement in WED Britain. It was a potent mixture of bad science and fear, WED and it ran right through society. The birth control pioneer WED Marie Stopes, for instance, became hysterical at the WED prospect of her son marrying a girl who had bad eyesight and WED refused to attend the wedding. WED But despite such fears, there were of course romantic WED relationships between disabled people - not surprising, when WED so many of young people were living together in residential WED institutions in the 19th century. New research from a WED Swansea institution for the deaf reveals that the official WED rules about sex, and the reality of what happened, were very WED different. WED With historians Professor Joanna Bourke, Mike Mantin and WED Vivienne Richmond. Documents are brought vividly to life by WED actors Euan Bailey, Gerard McDermott and Madeleine Brolly.

THU Lemn speaks to Gil about his childhood, spent with his THU feisty grandmother in Tennessee, and his teenage years in THU New York at the height of the Civil Rights movement. Gil's THU adolescence was bookended by the assassinations of Malcolm X THU and Martin Luther King. THU We also hear about the highs and lows of Gil's four decades THU in the music business, from his involvement with Stevie THU Wonder's Martin Luther King Holiday campaign to a long THU battle with drug addiction and the birth of hip hop.

THU Producer: Steven Canny THU As is well-known: Yorkshiremen wear flat caps and Essex THU girls wear short skirts; Liverpudlians are scallies and THU Cockneys are wideboys. Northamptonians gaze wistfully at THU these stereotypes and wish for an identity of any kind and a THU label less ridiculous than Northamptonians. THU Northamptonshire, let us be clear, is neither north, nor THU south nor in the Midlands. It floats somewhere between the THU three eyeing up the distinctiveness of each enviously. Now THU Katherine Jakeways is giving Northamptonshire an identity. THU And she waits, eagerly, for her home-county to thank her. THU And possibly make her some kind of Mayor. THU Joined by nearly all of the incredible cast which graced THU Series One and Two - including Sheila Hancock as the THU Narrator, Penelope Wilton, Felicity Montagu, Geoffrey Palmer THU and Kevin Eldon - and with the exciting addition of Tim Key THU and Nathaniel Parker - North by Northamptonshire hopes (and THU promises) to once again delight audience and critics.

THU Tina will be joined on stage by a three-piece band who will THU help her recreate her biggest hits, and a special guest THU interviewer who will talk to her about her struggles. THU In this first episode of the series, Tina looks back at her THU childhood in rural Tennessee. Her humble start in life THU provides a rich seam of stories which fed into her early THU work. Family has always been important to Tina - as tracks THU like Hard Times, Don't Be Afraid to Start Crying, and Tramp THU on a Trampoline show. THU From the moment her second album No Dick's As Hard As My THU Life was released, the world took notice of country music THU singer Tina C. Since then she has become a global brand. THU Following 9/11 she has been travelling the world 24/11 THU working for peace and being a poster girl for American THU democracy, selling that unique vision of hope to the rest of THU the world whether they want it or not. Seductive and THU persuasive, she is here to recruit you to her world view. THU She is the living embodiment (and what a body) of soft THU power. Tina C. has performed in venues all over the world THU from London's Albert Hall to Sydney's Opera House. She has THU had her own TV show and five series on BBC Radio. You can THU run but you can't hide from Tina C. THU Tina is the creation of Christopher Green, a multi-award THU winning writer and performer. THU "Tina C is one of my favourite performers. She is witty, THU often outrageous and always in tune! I can't wait to see THU what Chris Green comes up with next" THU Sir Ian McKellan THU "Working on a script by Christopher Green is as good as it THU gets.

THU Spark worked as a novelist, dramatist and children's author, THU but it is perhaps her short stories that best exemplify her THU sharp eye and beautifully-crafted work, where she coolly THU probes the idiosyncrasies that lurk beneath veneer of human THU respectability. The three stories in this series include the THU wry humour of social comedy 'The Snobs' and the sharp satire THU of class, aspiration and phobia in 'You Should Have Seen the THU Mess'. THU Here, Muriel Spark enjoys a timely satire on the perils THU awaiting those who attempt to commit adultery, when a THU married man runs the terrible risk of taking a walk in the THU park with his young mistress.

THU THU 14:15 Disability: A New History b02147h7 (Listen) THU Brave Poor Things THU Disabled children are everywhere in popular fiction - Tiny THU Tim, What Katy Did, The Secret Garden. But what about the THU real children of the 19th century? What were their lives THU like, and where can we hear their voices? THU In this 9th programme in the series, Peter White searches THU for documents which reveal the reality of children's lives. THU He discovers new research into the history of the Brave Poor THU Things, a charity which set out to "save" disabled children THU across the country through organised games, outings, and a THU Guild song: THU "A trouble's a ton, A trouble's an ounce THU A trouble is what you make it. THU And it isn't the fact that you're hurt that counts THU But only how did you take it." THU The literature of the Brave Poor Things includes quotes from THU children - like this girl: THU "O! I am so glad to be a cripple!", said a happy-faced girl THU one day when away in the country. "Glad?" questioned THU someone. What DO you mean? And she answered "I can't help THU being glad. It is so beautiful to belong to the Guild, and I THU couldn't unless I had lost my leg." THU That's from fund-raising propaganda - but it's not a real THU girl's voice. Using images of pathetic children to raise THU money for charity has had a powerful legacy. THU Just occasionally, there is a real child's voice. Peter THU discovers a letter from a little girl in a Swansea THU Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, and it is almost THU unbearably moving: THU "I do feel homesick. When are you coming to see me? Do you THU know how long I have to stop here? The children are all dumb THU here, I am the only girl that can speak." THU With historians Julie Anderson, Joanna Bourke and Mike THU Mantin.

FRI FRI 14:15 Disability: A New History b02140ny (Listen) FRI A Disabled Identity FRI In the final part of his series, Peter White reveals the FRI birth of a modern disabled identity in the 19th century - FRI through the lives of some extraordinary independent blind FRI women. FRI Peter says, "I'm used to people describing me as "disabled". FRI Fair enough, I can't see. But I do wonder sometimes whether FRI putting me into a disabled category really makes much sense. FRI Some of my best friends use wheelchairs, but the truth is FRI our needs could hardly be more different. I fall over them, FRI they run over me! But over the last 40 years, disabled FRI people have needed a collective identity to make change FRI possible, to break down discrimination in jobs, transport, FRI in people's attitudes generally. FRI People have tended to think that this sense of collective FRI identity in Britain began after the First World War, when so FRI many men returned with very visible injuries. But the FRI evidence I've uncovered making this series reveals it to FRI have begun much earlier." FRI This evidence comes from new research into the lives of FRI blind women in the 19th century. We hear the stories of two FRI extraordinary women who fought the conventions of their FRI time, Adele Husson and Hippolyte van Lendegem. Independent, FRI critical, angry - their voices are very modern, and research FRI into their lives challenges accepted wisdom about the FRI history of the disability movement.
