Britten Albert Herring Humphrey Carpenter introduces a comic favourite, which vividly sends up the colourful characters and petty politics of rural
Suffolk that Britten knew so well. The village of Loxford needs a May queen for its spring festivities, but the only young person to be found with his virtue still intact is the greengrocer's son, still tied to his mother's apron strings.

There are over 39,000 malls in North America, where Main Street appears to be a thing of the past. Russell Davies travels to the mega-malls of Edmonton, Minneapolis and California to investigate these controversial enablers of - or impediments to - community. Is there a line to be drawn from the Greek agora and the Italian piazza to the frequently kitsch arcades of the modern mall? And is there something frightening about a place that promises everything?

The first in a new series of four programmes featuring music with Celtic connections.
