SatLive: 16 March 2013




Saturday Live show

Summary: Richard Coles and Sian Williams talk to Alain de Botton about his new 'Manifesto for Atheists'. They hear from two former Birmingham gang members about how they got out of the vicious cycle of gang life, meet Devon based composer David Haines who brings popular engagement with science through song, we thrill to a Saturday Live Society: the 'Friends of the Newport Ship' and listen to Welsh rugby legend J.J. Williams as he shares his Inheritance Tracks. And John McCarthy goes to the Watts Gallery in Compton Surrey to explore the largely forgotten genius of Victorian artist, GF Watts.
