Neil, In the "Radio Times" for this week these programmes are scheduled for 3.45pm beginning today. Each lasts for 15 mins., and the series is the subject of today's "Choice" column and also of Adam Hart-Davis' article. I use the internet also for BBC, but often cannot find details which I feel should be there!
