Arnold Bax feared growing old and in his autobiography written in his thirties, entitled Farewell My Youth, he quoted his beloved WB Yeats on old age: "What shall I do with this absurdity - 0 heart, 0 troubled heart - this caricature decrepit age has tied to me as to a dog's tail?" In the last of this week's programmes Donald Macleod looks at music written towards the end of Bax's life.

At a time when questions of regional, national and ethnic identity are all up for debate, what makes up the culture of modern Britain? Paul Allen launches a new series of features and visits communities across the UK to investigate their changing identities. The series starts in Hull. How is
Hull responding to the decline in North Sea fishing? Does the city look out more towards Europe to define its identity than in to the heart of England? Plus new poetry from James Lasdun and director Terry Hands on preparing for King Lear.
