Nocturne
By Cathy FitzGerald and Neville Edwards
The National Gallery, London, is one of the world's most prestigious art galleries. Every day, thousands of people pass through its doors to look at masterpieces by Rembrandt, Van Gogh, Turner and many others. But what happens when the last visitor leaves? When the lights go out and the building falls quiet? Do paintings dream? Nocturne explores the uncanny secret life of artworks, through conversations with cultural historian Marina Warner, author Tracy Chevalier, poets Aoife Mannix and Jacob Sam LaRose, and the staff whose job it is to patrol the silent galleries at night.

Nina Black
By Melanie Harris
Imagine being so hyperactive and distractible that you can barely keep track of where you are, who you’re talking to, and what you’re talking about. Welcome to the world of Nina Black, a woman plagued since childhood by complicated neuropsychiatric disorders. Melanie Harris’ documentary/drama explores what it’s like to live a life full of cognitive explosions and cessations, and takes listeners on a glitchy, frenetic, “Nina-style” adventure.
Nina Black was commissioned by BBC Radio 3 for The Wire; music is by Leafcutter John from The Housebound Spirit.
