a The week radio Pete Naughton Why radio trumped TV for royal baby coverage Notes from the Inside with James Rhodes Channels 1000pm The idea of this one-off film part of Channel 4's Mad4Music season is simple but viewers' reactions to it will not be In 2008 James Rhodes was sectioned after becoming depressed self-harming and abusing drugs A friend smuggled an iPod loaded with classical music to Rhodes in hospital and after his discharge Rhodes became a professional pianist This film sees Rhodes go inside another (unnamed) psychiatric hospital to meet four of its troubled patients and choose a separate classical piece to play for each of them The result is four consecutive encounters which all start with mutual storytelling and all end with Rhodes at the grand piano playing to his single listener in the hospital's deserted main hall Channel 4's press information asks for music picks not to be disclosed in advance -a pretentiously overblown request given how minor those revelations would be The programme itself meanwhile doesn't seem to struggle with the idea of televising long-term psychiatric patients who are by definition very vulnerable That question about informed consent would perhaps be less pressing if there were any obvious benefit to the four participants but hard to see any Rhodes turns up shows off with his knowledge of classical music and then shows off with his piano playing More sensitive and cultured souls than I might find the resulting film to be transformative meaningful and uplifting I found it shallow and vain Neil Midgley Documentary niAM mzmm ongratulation The Real White Queen and Her Rivals BBC Two 900pm An excellent companion to BBC One's period drama The White Queen this documentary sees Philippa Gregory who wrote the novels that the series is based on detail the stories of the real-life Plantagenets In this concluding instalment we learn how cunning Margaret Beaufort's brilliant plotting steered her exiled son Henry Tudor to power PS Bought with Love: the Secret History of British Art Collections BBC Four 900pm Eighteenth century art collectors are the focus of the second episode of an incisive series looking at how Britain fell in love with art Helen Rosslyn shows how aristocratic collectors on the Grand Tour popularised landscape painting SH Imagine Woody Allen: a Documentary Part 2 The Cafe: Little and Carolin Stoltz The Culture Show the 1 985 romantic fantasy The Purple Rose of Cairo and the whimsical Midnight in Paris which last year won an Oscar PS As dawn broke yesterday on a capital freshly laundered after a night of thunderstorms a pleasingly upbeat story was dominating the airwaves everywhere Radio Today programme as one would hope was a model of probity and inventively offbeat coverage of the matter Sarah Montague opened the programme with the most elegantly terse expression of the known facts that I heard all morning saying simply: Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their newborn son have spent the night in Hemingway have put it better In the absence of any other concrete details about the birth (a fact that was clearly irking the several correspondents posted outside St Hospital) the producers had been forced to get creative here that radio comes into its own trumping rolling TV news with its endless helicopter shots of buildings' expectant crowds empty podiums by having the freedom to explore the fertile edges of a story Home Editor Mark Easton had been sent off to look through the statistics regarding births in the UK and came back with a handful of gems Among them: 2200 other babies were born in the UK on Monday a majority of whose parents married 65 per cent of babies bom across England fall into the ethnic group but only 30 per cent of those bom in London do and perhaps most intriguingly 73 per cent of mothers who give birth in the Borough of Westminster as the Duchess had were born overseas In another off-piste highlight Nicola Stanbridge had gone searching in the archives for material relating to other royal children She unearthed a lovely recording of the then Princess Elizabeth in 1940 aged 14 talking to the youth of the nation on the flagship radio programme Hour wishing you all good she said the voice recognisable but higher flutter feel that I am speaking to friends and companions who have shared with my sister and myself many a happy Hour Captain Jack Aubrey hero of this Classic Serial: Desolation Island (Radio 4 Sunday) is the kind of man want around in a crisis He keeps a cool head has a strong and intuitive sense of human decency is a pragmatist plays the violin Russell Crowe did a fairly good if gruff job of representing him in the 2003 film Master and Dm mo Flying the flag: the Today programme joined well wishers to celebrate the royal birth The Cafe The Culture Show: Who Are You Calling an African Artist?
