Sunday Feature: Keats Goes North

RADIO 3, 6.45PM

It’s easy to think of the poet John Keats as a sickly young man, as he died at just 25 from tuberculosis. But as presenter Professor Fiona Stafford argues in this Sunday Feature, Keats was an energetic figure who trained as a doctor before changing direction towards poetry, and undertaking long walks in the outdoors including beginning an epic hiking trip across Scotland, though it was here that he first became ill and weakened before contracting the disease that would end his life.

Desert Island Discs RADIO 4, 11.15AM

The conceptual artist Jeremy Deller is this week’s castaway on Desert Island Discs. Once of his most famous works was his staging of The Battle of Orgreave in 2001, including 1,000 people in a public re-enactment of the scenes from the height of the Miners’ Strike in 1984. Deller won the Turner Prize in 2004, and described being nominated as “a not unenjoyable experience”. It’s hard to predict whether being marooned on a desert island with only music for company will be able to improve on that.
