The last of six programmes Jack Kerouac : Writer
He was suddenly aware of the sound of language and got swimming in the seas of sound.
(ALAN GINSBERG , poet)
He was the precursor of the revolution of the 1980s.
Strangely, that revolution has retreated, but 'On the Road' keeps on being read.
(MALCOLM COWLEY, critic)
He has been called the patron saint of the American Beat
Generation. His life and writing were, to that generation, a symbol of rejection of Eisenhower's America. Kerouac went from college football hero to self-destructive alcoholic: 'a man on the run' his friend
Lucien Carr called him. But, in that retreat, he made at least one novel that challenged, and continues to challenge, the way in which we see the world. Presented by Hugh Sykes Researcher MIKE WOOLF

Why Didn't They Warn Williams? by ANGELA SEWELL based on a true story of the First World War
The effect of total isolation on the human mind can be devastating. The awareness of such a possibility will advance slowly on a young mind.
Natural resilience will manifest itself in an initial optimism that the situation can be reversed - particularly if such a situation had never been envisaged....

An eight-part series presented by the outgoing BBC Middle East Correspondent Gerald Butt.
4: The Palestinians
The Palestinian issue is at the heart of the Middle East crisis and acts of violence are frequently committed in its name. Today more than a million Palestinians live in Israeli-occupied territory or in refugee camps in neighbouring countries. But what exactly do the Palestinians want and why, nearly 40 years after the creation of Israel, do they still speak and act with such passion?

Britons were urged to 'Go to it!' in 1940, and Turner Layton sang of 'Mr Brown of London Town', who had a job to do. Harry Roy wondered when he'd see a banana again, but nightingales were singing in Berkeley Square. Garard Green,
Duys Price and Paul Garnault recapture the spirit of the Home Front, with the help of popular songs of the period.
