3/4. Desperately Seeking Meaning. With fame and wealth never enough for the celebrity class, those in the public eye soon branch off into politics, charity and philanthropy. Here, Blur's Alex James and artist Damien Hirst discuss their involvement with the Beagle II Mission to Mars project. Plus the unhappy relationship between politics and celebrity is highlighted with Noel Gallagher 's visit to Downing Street and the Beatles' meeting with Harold Wilson. But are charities beginning to suffer as stars start to back only fashionable causes? Suede's Brett Anderson , Frank Skinner , Jamie Oliver and Sara Cox are among the contributors.

Exploring the music and life of 20th-century composer Benjamin Britten through his work and friendships with young people. With many of his operas dealing with the innocence of children and their corruption by adults, this psychological portrait recounts Britten's own idyllic childhood and traces his associations with young boys during his adult life. Interviewees, including the late David Hemmings, tell of their time spent with the composer, and a German schoolboy with whom the 24-year-old Britten fell in love shortly before the Second World War talks about their relationship for the first time, some 65 years later.

(Britten's Rape of Lucretia is on Thursday, 7.30pm on Radio 3)
