A centenary tribute to Ludwig Koch
Born in Germany 100 years ago, LUDWIG KOCH pioneered the recording of wildlife sounds and became one of Britain's best-loved broadcasters. Desmond Hawkins looks back over his long and eventful life with the help of some of those who knew him, as well as recorded excerpts from his broadcasts.
Even listeners who may never have heard him will find the unique and charming way he had with the English language quite irresistible.

A plain man's guide to the Christian faith in 13 parts
8: Three Ways of Being
God Gerald Priestland struggles with the Trinity - the Christian doctrine that is at the same time distinctly Three and indivisibly. One.
The BBC's Religious
Affairs Correspondent starts by comparing the Trinity to a venerable piano that nobody plays, but nobody dares throw away. Then he finds that many Christians still value it highly. Only they don't think of it as a piano, a committee or a mathematical formula. To them the Trinity is alive and well and extremely busy.
Drama by BRIAN SIBLEY Music arranged by BARRY ROSE
Researcher PATRICK FORBES Producer CHRIS REES
(Repeated. Wed 4.0 pm) Book (same title), £ 3.50, from bookshops from 25 Norembcr
