In the past the parlour, or sometimes the kitchen table would be used to lay out the body of a recently deceased loved one or family member.

Do we mourn differently? Do we still want to be confronted with the physical evidence of death? Sheila Harper will be presenting the findings of her research at the forthcoming BSA Annual Conference in a paper entitled ‘Shh! Granddad is sleeping!: Viewing the recently-dead in England and the United States’.

The Greek Myths
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the Greek myths from Achilles to Zeus. Are you a touch narcissistic? Do you have the body of an Adonis? Are you willing to undertake Herculean tasks or Promethean ventures? Perhaps you have an Oedipus complex? If you answer to any or perhaps all of these you owe something to the Greek myths, a collection of weird and wonderful stories that, like Penelope’s shroud or the needlework of Arachne, were constantly woven and unpicked across centuries of Greek and Roman civilisation. The myths have a cast of thousands including mighty Zeus, Jason and the Argonauts, wily Odysseus, beautiful Aphrodite and Cerberus, the three-headed dog. They are funny, shocking, quirky and epic and have retained their power and their wisdom from the ancient world to the modern. With Nick Lowe, Senior Lecturer in Classics at Royal Holloway, University of London; Richard Buxton, Professor of Greek Language and Literature at the University of Bristol; Mary Beard, Professor of Classics at Cambridge University

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder (COPD)
You may have heard of chronic bronchitis, or of emphysema, but to doctors they are both different aspects of what they call chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD.
Both these conditions mean that the airways in the lung are damaged and it becomes hard for the air to get in and out, causing breathlessness.
COPD is the third biggest cause of respiratory death, and the fifth biggest killer overall, in the UK.
COPD is caused mainly by smoking, but also by airborne pollution. It can also be the result of an inherited genetic deficiency.
If you or someone you know is worried that their cough or shortness of breath may be a sign of a long term chronic disease then call the programme for advice.
Barbara Myers is joined by consultant Dr Keith Prowse to take listerners' calls on the symptoms of COPD, and the treatments available.
