Radio 4, 11.30am

The Bayeux Tapestry is one of the world’s most famous works of art, but it’s also a mystery, as no one knows who made it. Abigail Youngman tries to uncover more about the women who may have worked on the 11th Century artefact, based on clues found in the stitching.

The first guest in a new series of The Life Scientific (Radio 4, 9am) is Julia Shaw, who talks about her work in the field of false-memory research.

Matthew Broughton’s Drama: Broken Colours (Radio 4, 2.15pm) stars Holli Dempsey and Josef Altin as a couple who fall in love.
