In seven programmes Derek Cooper travels around the coastline to visit just a few .of the 1 000-plus inhabited islands that make up the British Isles. He talks to the islanders and reflects on life-styles often very different from that experienced on the mainland. 1- The Isles of Yesterday The islands cannot be separated from their past.
Are there lessons to be learned from history about one of the most worrying problems of Island life - emigration? De-population was at its most serious in the 19th century and there could be pointers for today in a study of life in the Hebrides in the 1840s and 1850s.

Engaged
An entirely original farcical comedy by W. S. Gilbert adapted for radio, with Simon Cadell Sarah Badel
David McAlister Liza Flanagan and Anthony Newlands
Gilbert goes with Sullivan like bacon with eggs, yet here is not an opera but a play by the famous librettist - an entertainment sans Sullivan in fact.
First performed at London's Haymarket Theatre in 1877, Engaged is about money and the sort of eligible young ladies and gentlemen who fell in love with, and schemed to marry, the stuff - back in the passionate days of hansom cabs.
