BBC Radio 4 - Excess Baggage, 10/04/2010

Sandi Toksvig travels the world in search of seeds and explores Iran and Musandam.

Sandi Toksvig and guests travel far and wide in search of seeds to bring back to the UK for classification and preservation, and explore Iran and the Musandam Peninsula.

Sandi Toksvig meets Paul Smith, Head of The Millenium Seedbank at Wakehurst Gardens in Sussex and horticultural expert Mark Griffiths. Together they explore the world looking for seeds to bring back to the UK for classification, analysis and planting. Sandi also meets Sofia Koutlaki, a writer and linguist, who tells her about exploring Iran. Plus travel writer Nick Maes discusses his recent visit to the Musandam peninsula, very near to Iran but a world away in The Strait of Hormuz.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
