It is 1978, and Valda Trevlyn Grieve, the second wife of the Scottish poet Hugh MacDiarmid, is reassessing her life following her husband's death. A student arrives at her door during a snow storm determined to pay his respects. Valda, irritated by the youngster's intrusion, does her best to shatter his illusions. The story unravels over the two days this odd couple spend in each other's company while snowed in at Brownsbank Cottage.

The Best Snow for Skiing
2.15pm R4 "I'm not an arse-licker, I'm a poet," is a truly original way for a young man to try and persuade an old woman to let him into her isolated cottage. In Linda Cracknell's emotionally intense drama, set in 1978 and inspired by the real-life marriage of poet Hugh MacDiarmid to feisty Cornish nationalist Vaida Trevlyn Grieve, the youth arrives at the grieving widow's house in order to seek inspiration from the home of his dead literary hero. As snow traps them in the cottage together, the presumptuous poet finds Valda's bluntness to be the muse he really needs. Jane Anderson

Three-quarters of all scientists and engineers are men. Not only are women a minority, they are lower-paid and less likely to be promoted to the top jobs than their male counterparts. A recent survey by the Athena Project found that female scientists felt less valued than male colleagues and were disadvantaged in terms of salary, promotion and career development. But what are the Government, educators and employers doing to redress the balance? Quentin Cooper is joined by Dr Katie Perry from the Daphne Jackson Trust, an organisation that helps female scientists, engineers and IT specialists return to work after career breaks, producer Michelle Martin

She returns to Athenry to ask what impact those lessons had and to find out how much the pupils, the town and Ireland itself have changed. ProducerJulia Adamson
