Chapter 3. Full Moon

Kevin Fong delves through the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Archive to explore our fascination with the moon. In this chapter we follow moon rises across the Severn, and go for a moonlit ramble.

It sits around 240, 000 miles away from earth, yet it dominates our night sky, moves our oceans and has been a source of cultural and artistic wonder for thousands of years.

Across this full moon night, Kevin Fong takes a journey through the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Archive for a long look at our relationship with the moon.

Programmes include a lunar adventure with Jarvis Cocker, a study of werewolves with Mark Radcliffe, Helen Sharman hears from those who have stood on the moon itself, and Bill Nighy stars in a drama about how love and the moon could destroy the world.

Going through the night, from 10pm until 5am, join Kevin Fong for a unique night of radio adventures, taking you all the way to the moon and back.

In Chapter 3: Full Moon programmes include;

- A Sleepwalk on the Severn - The poet Alice Oswald's evocation of the experience of moonrise over the Severn Estuary.
- 28ish Days Later - Day Twenty-One: In the Moonlight
- Ramblings - we join Clare Balding for part of her walk along the South Downs Way, this time at night under a full moon.
