Tom Burke, Luke Pasqualino, Alexandra Dowling and Peter Capaldi are
among the stars of this BBC drama inspired by Alexandre Dumas's
novel 'The Three Musketeers'. Set in 17th century Paris, the show
follows the musketeers, Athos (Burke), Aramis (Santiago Cabrera),
Porthos (Howard Charles) and D'Artagnan (Pasqualino), as they set
about defending their queen (Dowling) from threats to her throne
and the nation of France as a whole. One source of danger is the
devilish Cardinal Richelieu (Capaldi), though he is by no means the
only enemy the dashing musketeers will have to contend with... The
episodes are: 'Friends and Enemies', 'Sleight of Hand',
'Commodities', 'The Good Soldier', 'The Homecoming', 'The Exiles',
'A Rebellious Woman', 'The Challenge', 'Knight Takes Queen' and
'Musketeers Don't Die Easily'.
Although John Dewey is celebrated for his work in the philosophy of
education and acknowledged as a leading proponent of American
pragmatism, his philosophy of logic has up to now been largely
ignored. In Dewey's New Logic, Tom Burke analyzes the debate
between Russell and Dewey that followed the 1938 publication of
Dewey's Logic: The Theory of Inquiry. Here, he argues that Russell
failed to understand Dewey's philosophy of logic and that Dewey's
views are relevant in important ways to recent developments in
philosophy and cognitive science. Burke demonstrates that Russell
misconceived crucial aspects of Dewey's logical theory and contends
that logic today has progressed beyond Russell and is approaching
Dewey's broader perspective.
Based on the acclaimed RTE documentary, 'Shooting the Darkness',
this landmark book presents the stories of leading photographers -
Alan Lewis, Paul Faith, Martin Nangle, Stanley Matchett, Trevor
Dickson, Hugh Russell and Crispin Rodwell - whose images captured
some of the most important events of the Troubles. They talk, many
of them for the first time, about the photographs they took - how
they got the shot; what it cost them to take the photograph; and
reflect on whether it was worth it. More broadly, they talk about
what it was like to be a photographer during the Troubles: how the
paramilitary groups dealt with them, the ethical dilemmas they
faced, and the emotional fallout they experienced. The book
includes the stories behind iconic images such as Bishop Edward
Daly waving a blood-stained handkerchief on Bloody Sunday, Sean
Downes being shot and killed by an RUC plastic bullet in
Andersonstown in 1984, and the brutal attack of corporals Derek
Wood and David Howes in March 1988.
Amanda Hale and Tom Burke star in a brand new BBC Radio 4 full-cast
dramatisation of Charlotte Bronte's most beloved novel, adapted by
Rachel Joyce. Orphan Jane learns at an early age that self-control
is the surest means of retaining self-respect in adversity. It is a
lesson that serves her well in the years ahead as she endures the
misery of life with her cruel, uncaring aunt, followed by the harsh
regime at Lowood Institution, a charity school for poor children.
After taking the post of governess at Thornfield Hall, she meets
the master of the house, the brooding, enigmatic Edward Rochester,
and finds herself falling in love with him. It seems as if
happiness may finally be within her grasp - but a series of strange
events leads her to believe that Rochester is concealing a dark
secret. When the truth is revealed, the heartbroken Jane will need
all her inner strength and resilience to face up to it...
Dramatised for radio by bestselling novelist Rachel Joyce (The
Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry), this iconic love story stars
Amanda Hale as Jane and Tom Burke as Rochester. Suffused with
romance, passion, mystery and danger, it is a spellbinding tale
that is as real and relevant today as when it was first published
in 1847. Duration: 2 hours 30 mins approx.
