- A play about
Countersunk Screws and the Meaning of Life by MIKE VAUGHAN EDWARDS with and When Norman Goslett flatly refuses to splash out on an expensive kitchen cupboard for his wife, he has no idea that his thrift will cost him all but his sanity and when his meagre knowledge of DIY becomes pure wizardry, its effect is not so much a snowball as an avalanche.

6:Day By Day -
Religion in Daily Life Although the Muslim goes to the mosque on a Friday, he says his prayers five times a day at home, and while there are great celebrations for the Pesach and Hanukah, each domestic act in a Jewish household is accompanied by a special prayer. Christians try and imitate Jesus in their lives at work or at home even if they only go to church on a Sunday.
John Bowker discovers that although each religion is marked by its own calendar of feasts and fasts, It's in the ' daily round, the common task ', the believer fulfils his life of faith.

What happened when
Guy Johnson (Fawkes to you) popped down to the cellar late one night 378 years ago? Why did he want to ' blow the Scots back again to Scotland ' on the 4 November (later to become famous as the 5 November)? And what on earth was a Yorkshireman doing signing his confessions ' Guido '?
In this astonishing world exclusive, Guido tells his version of an almost explosive story to Terence Blacker.

The Safe Stronghold
Though Martin Luther 's stand before Pope and Emperor at the Diet of Worms in 1521 had momentous political consequences, the Reformation was essentially about religious ideas which spread through Europe like a forest fire and Luther was more concerned with doctrine than with scandal.

Professor A. G. Dickens , historian, and James Todd , biographer, explore and discuss Luther's main ideas with Vernon Sproxton.
