The origins of science lie in the hand of man. He splits a stone and reassembles the pieces to build a wall, a cathedral, a city.
In the Greek temples of Paestum and the cathedrals of medieval France, from the Inca cities of Peru to modern Los Angeles, the programme traces the story of man the architect and builder.

This week's theme: Story-telling Rubens (1577-1640) Mercury and Argus at the Gemaldegalerie, Dresden
RUBENS was a master of the art or narrative -a gift under-appreciated because the stories he told have become less familiar,
In this painting, Jupiter is in love with the nymph Io. To deceive his wife, he changes 10 into a heifer but she does not fall for this and hands 10 to Argus to be watched over by his hundred eyes. To get his nymph back, Jupiter employs
Mercury to lull Argus to sleep and cuts off his head.

The swallows flew in the curves of an eight
Above the river gleam
In the wet June's last beam
Like little cross-bows animate Thomas Hardy 's novels are better known than his poems. But his poems reveal at least as much of the man. ROBERT GITTINGS , Hardy's biographer, visits Sturminster Newton where Hardy enjoyed the only happy years he had with his first wife, Emma.
