The more scientists study the origins of the universe, the more many of them find they're faced with a symmetry and order which is unlikely to have come about by random chance. The language that physicists and astronomers need to describe their latest theories is now converging with the spiritual language of mystics and religious teachers.
Ted Harrison looks at this phenomenon and hears from leading scientists, including
Dr James Lovelock and Sir Fred Hoyle ; and such theologians as the Bishop of Birmingham,

A portrait of Sir Thomas Beecham
The last of six programmes about British conductors compiled and written by BRYAN CRIMP
Narrator John Rowe
Most musicians who played under Sir Thomas Beecham agree that he was some kind of magician. Talking about him they wonder how, despite his erratic use of the baton, he was able to conjure from them some of the greatest performances of their lives.
In this programme you can also hear Beecham on Beecham, as well as music by Handel, Delius, Berlioz, Sibelius and Mozart.
