66: Radio Ramadan |

presenter: Mark Whitaker |
producer: Mark Whitaker | ||
| Dozens of local 'Radio Ramadans' across the UK provide a unique insight into how our Muslim communities see themselves, and their relationship with the wider worlds of Islam and British culture. The programme will follow the build-up to Ramadan in two communities. It will talk to those who broadcast, and those who they broadcast about. It will provide an immediate insight into the meanings - and joys - of Ramadan itself, while providing a month-long self-portrait of Muslim communities in a Britain that is so profoundly mistrustful of them. | |

| Come with us into the little-known world and work of the Government Art Collection - Whenever a government minister resigns or gets the sack, or whenever a British Ambassador moves on, it's all hands on deck at an unmarked building somewhere near Tottenham Court Road. This is the HQ of the Government Art Collection (GAC), whose 6000 works - paintings, sculptures, photographs - adorn ministerial and ambassadorial walls in the UK and around the world. | ||||

| Fires have been burning for up to ninety years under the ground in India's largest coalfield. Smoke seeps from the ground, making it the unhealthiest place in the country for up to a million people. In places fire breaks through the surface, consuming homes. In the USA whole towns have been abandoned -- one after a 12 year old boy was almost swallowed up by a hole caused by a mine fire, and a whole family was lucky to escape carbon monoxide poisoning. | ||||

| 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.
