Dark Crossing – BBC Radio 4 Documentary
Mike is a carpenter, a boat builder, and a keen amateur sailor. Now, in his sixties he feels the time has come for a big adventure, and he signs on as crew for a transatlantic sailing voyage . But when the skipper turns to tyranny and his only ally on board loses touch with reality, relentlessly optimistic Mike is faced with his own demons. There is no storm, no shipwreck, no sea monster. Only three men trapped together, each battling for their own sanity. With only the endless sea surrounding them, Mike soon realises he is the only one who can pull the crew and himself out of a very dark place.
Strandings – BBC Radio 4 Documentary
When Peter was thirteen, a blue-haired woman asked him to lift a freshly-hacked sperm whale jaw into her Volvo 245. That night in Norfolk marked the beginning of his lifelong bond and obsession with whales. Twenty-five years later, we join a group where Peter is learning how to re-float a two-tonne life-sized model of a pilot whale. As we follow this rescue in real time, Peter narrates a very different story: what happens to whales and to us when they breach the boundaries of the human world and how whale strandings entice a bizarre subculture of mystics, fetishists and scavengers.
