Presented by Ian Hamilton The Way That You Tell It - Present, Past and Future
The recent shocking story of the Yorkshire Ripper is now a subject for literature.
The Streetcleaner by Nicole Ward Jouve is a feminist, structuralist analysis of the crime, while
Blake Morrison 's poem The Ballad of the Yorkshire Ripper uses dialect and age-old metre to examine a man's ambiguous feelings about the criminal. Melvyn Bragg 's new novel The Maid ofButtermere retells a scandalous, true story, familiar to the Romantic Poets, through the imagined life of its hero, a bogus MP. Although writing with a 20th-century voice, Bragg acknowledges the strength of tradition in his storytelling.
Christine Brooke-Rose is
England's most experimental novelist. She plays with all the reader's assumptions about time, structure and language. In novels like Amalgamemnon and Torandor, she invents imaginary voices and impish word-play to tell the history of the future.

A series of films about astonishingly tiny newborns, who only a few years ago could not have lived. A New Start
A Special Care Baby Unit is a world of high skill, high tension and sometimes devastating disappointment. At the unit in Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge, most of each year's intake of 350 premature and risky newborns become promising infants.
Tonight's film follows the stories of Bryony through her birth at 28 weeks and her stay in the unit; Christopher, who weighs in at a mere 171 ounces; and Jamie, born 17 weeks premature. Can each of them become, as the doctors put it, 'feasible propositions'? Researcher SALLY DIXON Film editor SIMON ROSE
