8.20 Twenty Minutes: Ulysses
James Joyce's Ulysses is set on Bloomsday - 16 June 1904. Another Joyce enthusiast celebrates the day's centenary by revisiting the book and its author.
2/3. Modern in Spite of Itself. Joyce's Ireland seems to be a backward British colony on the far western fringe of Europe. Today it's a bastion of modernity - and Professor Declan Kiberd suggests that it has always been so. This series concludes on Friday at 8.15pm See also BBC4 from 8.30pm
