The Museums That Make Us MondayFriday, Radio 4, 1.45pm

During a tour of

British museums, art historian Neil

MacGregor (right) explores how the past can help show what we can expect from the future. He begins in

Stowe, Buckinghamshire.

To tie in with the current concerns over the cost of living and labour shortages, the three-part programme

Pay Freezes (Radio 4, 8pm) examines the politics of British pay since 1945 and begins with a now largely forgotten notion called ‘incomes policy’.

Drama: Talking About A Revolution (Radio 4, 2.15pm) focuses on a woman’s investigation into her aunt’s death and a 40-year-old car crash.
