Following the publication of 'The Great Gatsby' a hundred years ago, F. Scott Fitzgerald bemoaned the fact that not one of the reviewers, "had the slightest idea what the book was about". They had focused their attention on the book's critique of what would become known as the American Dream, and ever since then the conversation about this most venerated of books has largely remained centred around that same theme. Professor Sarah Churchwell, who has been teaching, thinking and writing about the novel for decades, breaks away from that conversation to explore poetic, aesthetic and philosophical perspectives stemming from Fitzgerald's own ambition to write a serious piece of art rather than merely a one-dimensional slice of social commentary. Sarah also features new cinematic and theatrical discoveries that reveal how most people first came to know the novel through adaptations that differed considerably from the source material. She speaks with academics Anne-Margaret Daniel, Anil Gomes, Nick Gaskill, Martina Mastandrea, Philip McGowan and James West.

Mark Hodkinson looks at the impact of punk rock outside of London and, in particular, in Yorkshire.
It was here that the Sex Pistols played their first and last gigs outside the capital.
Punk is viewed principally as a London phenomenon. The Sex Pistols in particular are synonymous with the capital, but their UK touring career outside the capital was book-ended by two shows more than 200 miles away.
On Wednesday 19 May 1976, six months before the release of their first single, the Sex Pistols performed at Sayer's nightclub in the sleepy market town of Northallerton. Just 19 months later, on Christmas Day 1977, the band made their last UK appearance, at Ivanhoe's, a small club in Huddersfield.
Music fan and experienced journalist/broadcaster, Mark Hodkinson, visits both towns and speaks to people who were at the gigs.
He plots the impact of punk in the provinces where thousands of disgruntled teenagers heeded The Clash's entreaty to the 'faraway towns' to 'come out of the cupboard, you boys and girls' ("London Calling").
Brian Simpson was the DJ at Sayer's which, in the weeks leading up to the Sex Pistols visit, had played host to Wayne Fontana and the Mindbenders and The Searchers. Along with Steve Williams, who was also at the gig, he remembers people leaving the club in droves when the Sex Pistols began playing:
"We had no idea who they were," he says. "Northallerton was suddenly at the forefront of punk rock but we had no idea that we were. It was about two weeks later when I saw their picture in one of the music papers that I realised I'd seen them play."

THE BANKSY STORY PRESENTS: WHEN BANKSY COMES TO TOWN (320kbs-m4a/221mb/1hr35mins) BBC Radio 4 broadcast: 2nd to 11th April 2025
Roll-up! Roll-up! The Banksy circus is coming to town... What happens when Banksy does one of his naughty drawings on the wall of your house? For Season 2 of The Banksy Story, super-fan James Peak investigates (even though he isn't an art critic, or a journalist).
This series is dedicated to the memory of Duncan Crowe.
Written, Produced & Presented by James Peak Voices: Keith Wickham & Harriet Carmichael Production Support: George Crowe Music: Alcatraz Swim Team & Lilium Street Art Consultancy and Investigative Support: Steph Warren Series Mixing: Neil Churchill Executive Producer: Philip Abrams Commissioner: Dan Clarke With special thanks to Hadrian Briggs, Pete Chinn, Rob Shiret, Rosie Bauer, Tracy Williams, Andy Voss & Noel Lewis.
James visits Sam in Margate and Gert in Lowestoft. They have both been visited by Britain's favourite quality vandal. Banksy left freshly painted artworks on their properties overnight, like some kind of spray-can Santa Claus. But does this make the homeowners the lottery winners you might expect?
Gert in Lowestoft must deal with crowds, chancers and the Council after Banksy left a painting of a massive seagull on her end-of-terrace. And in Margate, Sam and Julian must react quickly if they are to stop Valentine's Day Mascara being spirited away by light-fingered opportunists and the Council's refuse department.
Both Banksys come off the wall so they can be preserved for posterity and perhaps sold on. But what do the legions of local people and art-fans think about this? Also, Steph and James go on the hunt for Banksy's missing frying-pan.
Rod tries to drum up support for a Banksy auction, and in Margate a scheme is hatched to fractionalise Valentine's Day Mascara. What could possibly go wrong? Also, Steph and James' hunt for Banksy's missing frying-pan leads to Pete 'the Street' Brown, the artist Banksy commissioned to capture the aftermath.
Rod has some strong words for the man himself. Also, there's a mega-deal on the table. Will the Banksy sell for big bucks now it's off the wall and on the market? And will we finally find out what happened to Banksy's missing frying pan?

Matthew Sweet plays film soundtracks which were replaced before the final cut, such as Alex North's original score for 2001: A Space Odyssey which director Stanley Kubrick didn't use in the final film, preferring to use well-known pieces of classical music such as The Blue Danube by Johann Strauss II instead.
Alfred Hitchcock wasn't afraid to change composers either. Bernard Herrmann, who created the iconic Psycho score, wrote music in his usual style for Hitchcock's Cold War drama Torn Curtain, but the director replaced him with John Addison. The two never worked together again. For his 1972 film, Frenzy, Hitchcock replaced Henry Mancini with Ron Goodwin.
Goodwin also replaced William Walton on Battle of Britain. But, as Matthew explains, Walton may have lost the battle, but he eventually won the war.

Leftfield's Neil Barnes celebrates 30 years since the acclaimed debut album Leftism with a special Salutes Mix.
Released in 1995, the acclaimed electronic album featured tracks like Release The Pressure, Song Of Life and Open Up with John Lydon. It was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize and a review from NME at the time said "Leftfield have returned to save the night." It is credited for showing that dance music could work in an album format and the live performances that followed had a reputation for being so loud that plaster fell from the roof of Brixton Academy during one show.
Leftfield are playing live later this year, including a set at Glastonbury Festival and their ‘Celebrating 35 Years Of Original Bass And Beats; Leftism And Beyond’ live tour.
The Salutes Mix is an half hour mix where we can tip our hat to an artist or album celebrating an anniversary.

Historian David Olusoga is castaway by Lauren Laverne.
David is an historian, writer and broadcaster who has presented a range of programmes including the BBC's A House Through Time and Civilisations.
He is currently professor of public history at Manchester University.
Born in Lagos, the second child to a Nigerian father and a British mother, David was brought up by his mother in Gateshead after his parents' marriage broke down. As a child he and his siblings experienced sustained racism and he remembers school as a place of violence and cruelty.
He credits his mother's tenacity and her determination to educate her children for his later success in getting to university and establishing a career in TV.
His love of history developed from a young age, thanks to one of his teachers who taught him why an understanding of history matters. Watching TV documentaries also opened up a world of possibility and David fondly recalls programmes from the 1980s presented by the historian Michael Wood, who made history seem cool in the eyes of the young schoolboy glued to the TV in his Gateshead council house.
In 2020, David delivered the MacTaggart Lecture at the Edinburgh Television Festival in which he talked candidly about his loneliness at being the only black person on a production team and the difficulties he had trying to explain the racial implications of how, for example, people in Africa were often portrayed on screen.
