Michael Berkeley is joined by historian Linda Colley , who is currently teaching at Princeton University. Her works include a study of the Tory party in the early
18th century, and the award-winning Britons: Forging the Nation 1707-1837. More recently she has written The Ordeal of Elizabeth Marsh , which tells the extraordinary story of an intrepid 18th-century female traveller in North Africa, Asia and the Americas, and her brushes with the Islamic world and the slave trade. Colley's musical choices reflect both her own private passions - including Bach, Britten and Stravinsky - and music she has encountered on her travels while researching her books.

Adapted by Jeremy Howe from the English version by Stephen Mitchell , the drama is prefaced by the voices and opinions of writers, archaeologists and scholars who discuss the history and context of the epic poem.

EM Forster's personal passage to India was the key to both his greatest novel and his political radicalism. What drew this shy and retiring figure from British suburbia to the mysterious heart of a faraway subcontinent? Taking a fresh look at the links between Forster's homosexuality, his critique of the Raj and his remarkably modern capacity for crossing racial and cultural borders. Zareer Masani rescues Forster from the stereotype of an old-maidish, closeted gay, writing tea-table novels. Producer Ingrid Hassler
