Living World

6.35AM, RADIO 4 Caddisflies live in fresh water at the larval stage, then take to the land and air as adults. In their aquatic stage, they construct protective cases from sand, silt and vegetation, and these cases form underwater galleries.

The shopkeeper offers them a bowl that is made of crystal and covered, by some ancient process, in gold. The man refuses to buy the piece as he thinks it is flawed – but this is not the last that either of them will hear of the golden bowl. John Lynch plays the author in this first of a three-part adaptation of Henry James’s novel of marriage and adultery. James’s overwrought prose has been hacked away, exposing a plot of fierce intensity.

Moira Stuart

11PM, RADIO 2 Moira returns to this Sunday-night slot with a selection of music on the theme of ‘love is here to stay’. She includes tracks from Billie Holiday and Frank Sinatra, plus Tony Bennett duetting with Diana Krall.
