Warwickshire.
It is Hedgehog Awareness Week. Populations of wild British hedgehogs have declined rapidly since the turn of the century, but Ellie Harrison meets three schoolgirls on a mission to keep the hedgehogs of Warwickshire safe from harm. Ellie also visits the Heart of England Forest, which is creating woodland of native trees. Steve Brown meets the volunteers helping to bring the wildlife back to the River Tame. The river, canal and floodplain that make up the wetlands are remnants of Warwickshire's industrial past, but they are now joining up the waterways for nature. John Craven is at a nature reserve with a difference - it is not just a home for wildflowers and wildlife, it is a permanent resting place for people too. The Sunrising Nature Reserve is a burial ground for people who want a very natural resting place after they die. John also visits a farming family who have swapped pints of milk for pints of beer by turning their dairy into a microbrewery.

Thanks. I shall see if they have a Podcast of that programme. For odd reasons, probably proprietary rights issues, BBC World Radio ban the use of their 'player' in Thailand so to listen to BBC World Radio via the internet I have to use a third party app via my phone which is convenient at times. I can get them on shortwave but actual broadcast times since budget cuts were made is very inconvenient..

Having been inside an empty but assembled Blue Danube I can report that it is boring.......
