61: Being Yourself (5)
first broadcast: Friday, July 22, 2005	15:45 Radio 4	presenter: tbn	producer: Clare Jenkins
Five imaginative excursions into Same Name Syndrome, presented by a poet, an impressionist, a TV presenter, an actor and a radio broadcaster. We all think we are unique, so it can come as rather a shock to discover we share our names with scores, maybe even hundreds of people. How can they be us? Are they the same as us? Are we all an illusion? The idea for this thought-provoking series on how we all construct, internalise and project images of ourselves came about because there's another Clare Jenkins at the BBC - a DVD and video producer - who occasionally receives emails meant for Pennine Productions' Clare Jenkins and patiently sends them on. Today: Clare Jenkins

39: Borrowers and Lenders
first broadcast: Saturday, May 22, 2004	15:30 Radio 4	presenter: Clare Jenkins	producer: Janet Graves
Birmingham Central Library is so ugly it's been described as looking like a place that incinerates books, instead of housing them. But to its five thousand daily visitors it's a treasure. This is the inside story of the busiest building in Birmgham told by the lenders and borrowers of some of the most important collections in Europe. And not before time. The library stands in the way of a billion pound redevelopment plan for the centre of Birmingham and is to be demolished. This programme captures the voice of a library's community before it is lost.

A Cumbrian sheepdog trainer's quest for an exceptional dog with an exceptional brain. What makes a sheepdog? And what makes an exceptional sheepdog?

first broadcast: Tuesday, September 02, 2003	13:30 Radio 4	presenter: Clare Jenkins	producer: Clare Jenkins
The story of a 20-year project to preserve Yorkshire's folksongs, featuring a previously unheard treasury of such songs from the 1950s, 60s and 70s. As well as telling the story of their discovery and record, the programme would ask why they should have been overlooked by such experts as Cecil Sharp and Percy Grainger, and what this itself says about the perhaps inexact or random collection of parts of our heritage.
