The Great Tide: Flooding, Landscape and Memory. The Great Flood of 1953, the combination of a high spring tide and a storm over the North Sea, causing a surge to sweep across the East Coast, was the worst natural disaster in Britain of the 20th century, in which 307 people lost their lives in England and over 1,800 people in the Netherlands. It also produced one of the great works of English social history, 'The Great Tide' by Hilda Grieve, which tells the story of the flood disaster in Essex. In this programme Patrick Bernard discusses 'The Great Tide' with writer and social historian Ken Worpole; Edward Platt, author of 'The Great Flood'; and Anne Johnson, a storyteller who runs Everyday Magic, a London-based charity which sends storytellers into state primary schools, and who lived on Canvey Island at the time of the flood.

New Works For Radio
BZOU, a sound movie by Dom Bouffard. "Little Red Riding Hood" is thought to have first emerged in the French Alps in the late Middle Ages in the midst of an epidemic of werewolf (Bzou) trials. From a symbol of adolescent empowerment, she was later turned into a moralising fable by Charles Perrault in "Le Petit Chaperon Rouge," a metaphor for the Napoleonic Rhineland invasion by the Brothers Grimm in Rotkäppchen. In the 20th Century the Nazis made her a heroine of the Third Reich; Angela Carter imagined her as a werewolf’s lover in "The Company of Wolves" and Tony Ross as a New York vigilante. Bouffard interweaves these reincarnations with texts ranging from the infamous "Hammer of Witches" (which instructed the extermination of ‘witches’ in the 15th Century) to Valerie Solanas’s "SCUM Manifesto" in a furious, impressionistic, sound journey through space and time, constructed from field recordings, modular electronics, contemporary classical and extreme guitar noise, sewn together with Penny Cliff’s disturbing poem "Red Line." [Repeats Monday 3.30am.]
