5: War Games
Presented by John Gribbin
Human aggression, as shown by non-technological societies, typically involves only minor amounts of fighting, with only occasional injuries and even rarer deaths. How then did we get ourselves into a nuclear arms race? Is it the result of the workings of an evolutionary strategy that has been distorted by the unusual circumstances confronting humankind today?

by Charles Dickens.
Dramatised in ten episodes by Betty Davies.
'Married people always quarrel, I believe. But as to being miserable and bitter why I couldn't be absolutely that, unless he always had the best of it; and I mean to have the best of it myself. I always do now,' cried Merry, giggling very much, 'for I make a perfect slave of the creature.'

The Rhythm Method: a Philosophy in Music
Rhythm, melody, folklore and song are the component parts of the educational system expounded by the Hungarian composer Zoltan Kodaly.
Known as the Kodaly Method, the ideas go beyond music to a philosophy of life.
Christopher Cook talks to the composer's widow,
Sarolta Kodaly , about her husband's beliefs, and meets teachers and musicians in Hungary who put them into practice. These ideas, inspired by folk songs from remote Hungarian villages, have had a surprising impact on musical life here.
Producer SIMON BROUGHTON (Re-broadcast next Monday)
