Looks good The actor Caroline Catz chooses the composer Delia Derbyshire, who is best known for her work at the BBC Radiophonic Workshop, where she realised the theme tune to Doctor Who. |

Friday: Historian Camilla Schofield explores a century of British fascism.
From the formation of the British Fascisti in 1923, through the BUF, the National Front and the BNP, the history of fascism in Britain is, in a sense, an unbroken thread. But if the politics – or anti-politics – has remained more-or-less consistent, with a lineage of hatreds, pseudo-science, failed leaders and tactics, the means by which fascism is calibrated and communicated in the 21st century has fundamentally changed. Membership groups intermittently attempting conventional electoral acceptance have given way to more atomised networks of ‘post-organisational’ activists.
Fascism is not an alien import but a central and on-going part of the British story.
At a time of debates around the character and memory of our national past, this series tries to bring the deep rooted and persistent vein of British fascism into focus. It might be that a less unreal sense of ourselves could be gained by shifting fascism out of the blind spot created by war stories which begin and end with this country standing alone against Nazism.
The first programme takes the rally staged by the British Union of Fascists at Olympia in June 1934 as a keyhole through which to look in order to understand fascism in the years before WWII. The second programme focuses on the so-called Battle of Lewisham in 1977 as a way of grasping the character of post-war fascism. The third programmes traces the thread to the present day.www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000sbdx |

Oh yes and they also have Gregory Campbell who has to be one of the biggest bigots in Ireland.
Just Google Gregory Campbell and Songs of Praise and you'll see what I mean.
