Fishing
Britain's most popular outdoor participant sport is fishing -over three-and-a-half million people do it. In the studio to answer questions on almost any aspect of angling, from what tackle you need to get started, where to fish, how best to handle the caught fish, to problems of conservation and poaching, are two keen fishermen: the Director of the National Anglers' Council, Peter Tombleson ; and the former fly-fishing champion of Wales and Chairman of the Welsh Anglers' Council, Moc Morgan.

2: Tuesday
by Stanley Sadie
The first of three programmes celebrating the life and work of the composer who was born 300 years ago, on 23 February 1685. For 250 years, George Frederic Handel has been at the centre of England's musical life. His anthem Zadok the Priest has been sung at every coronation since 1727, and his oratorio
Messiah has been performed more often here than anywhere else in the world.
Though he was born at Halle in Saxony and spoke all his life with a thick German accent, he came to regard England as his home and, when he died in 1759, he was buried among the greatest of his adopted compatriots in Westminster Abbey.
Narrated by John Rowe with Carl Duering as Handel and MICHAEL TUDOR BARNES, CAROLE BOYD, MARGOT BOYD, GWEN CHERRELL, WILLIAM EEDLE, NIGEL GRAHAM, GARARD GREEN, CLIFFORD NORGATE and JOHN RYE

But a report published only a month later revealed that hunger has reached epidemic proportions across the United
States and 'is getting worse, not better'. Why are soup kitchens proliferating in the richest country on earth? Why are millions of Americans dependent on charity to feed their children?
Jean Snedegar reports from Washington, Detroit, Denver and West Virginia.

Four nights ago, Rabbi Daniel Smith and his family joined Jewish families all over the world in celebration of the first evening of Passover. Regardless of nationality, Jews are united by their observance in Hebrew of the Seder, through which they reaffirm freedom from slavery.
Rabbi Smith 's family, with its
Spanish-Portuguese, Polish and Czech origins, came together to remember that first escape of the Children of Israel and, in so doing, recalled some of their own experiences of release from persecution.
