Tim Schadla-Hall , Stanley Ellis and John Grundy take a radio walkabout, and search for what makes the buildings, speech and daily life unique in the Cumbrian coastal town of Whitehaven. They explore Britain's earliest example of post-medieval town planning; the site of the last foreign invasion of English soil; and discover that the provision of energy has always brought prosperity, and possible danger, to the town.

Using the 1933 Methodist Hymn Book John Gant has compiled a traveller's guide to the Pearly Gates and Beyond.
'When I was a boy it was still not unreasonable to speculate about there being "A friend for little children above the bright, blue sky", the same who wanted me for a sunbeam: they needed a friend up there before penicillin.

It's said to be in harmony with antibiotics, moon shots, black holes and weathermen, so it must have been severely mauled, like the James 1 Bible and the Tridentine Mass.'

Hunter Davies got back from the USSR with a handful of records and tapes, and news of a rapidly changing Soviet rock scene.

With help from some of the big noises in Russian rock,
Hunter Davies gives his musical holiday snaps an airing.
