In a unique set of recordings, drawn from the BBC Sound Archives, two great figures from the past are recalled by people who were fortunate enough to meet them.
1: Bertrand Russell remembers Joseph Conrad
' He spoke English with a very strong accent and nothing in his demeanour in any way suggested the sea. He was an aristocratic Polish gentleman to his finger-tips. His feeling for the sea and for England was one of romantic love - love from a certain distance, sufficient to leave the romance untarnished.'
Presenters Sue Cook and George Luce

For thousands of people in Britain, unremitting pain is a way of life: the pain alone will not kill them. but it does make life burdensome for the sufferers and their families. Can medicine do anything to alleviate these agonies?
In the past few years, 30 or so pain clinics have been opened in this country and it is to these that the victims of chronic pain are sent as a last resort.
BARBARA MYERS finds out what treatments these clinics have currently to offer and also what they might in the future have to offer when new techniques being developed by the pain researchers become clinical tools. Producer DAVID PATERSON (Rev repeat: Friday 11.5 am)
