The recipients of the data then hound her for money. In this documentar­y, an understand­ably upset Barbara investigat­es which charities have sold or bought her name and address – and asks them why they do it. She also interviews regulators who brought in new rules for charities, including the Charity Commission. Drama: The Most Wanted Man in Sweden

RADIO 4, 2.15PM

This drama about an Iraqi asylum seeker in Sweden, peppered with comedy and music, is a funny and thoughtful Kafkaesque story. When Iraqi refugee Mohammad is arrested and interrogat­ed by armed police, he discovers that his picture has been splashed across TV and newspapers as the most wanted man in Sweden. Mohammad wants to prove himself innocent but he doesn’t know exactly what he’s accused of. It stars Krister Henriksson (the original Wallander) and Nitin Ganatra (best-known as Masood in Eastenders).
