God on my Mind – Part 1 of a two-part program on the biological, physiological, and anthropological aspects of religious belief, including a discussion of the difference between Religion and The Sacred, belief in the supernatural among the nonreligious, ritualistic behaviour in animals, and all sorts of fascinating stuff. This is a rerun of a show that ran only a couple months ago but I'm not complaining because it's one of my favourite documentaries from the last year at least.
Old Harry's Game – When I get into a conversation about the differences between British and American entertainment, or the multifaceted joys of Radio 4, I usually end up describing this show, which is a sitcom set in Hell. Yes, you heard me. Incidentally, in that alternate universe where I'm directing an animated film of Small Gods, Andy Hamilton is the voice of Om. I'm sure this raises all sorts of hypothetical PR issues but darn it, he's just too perfect.
I'm all too conscious this has been little but radio links for the last little while and is likely to be more of the same, so have some Santa Barbara! It's lovely.
On the other hand, I had a contrasting experience with this clock at LACMA: running into it unexpectedly and completely alone, and having time to ponder its place in time and space to the vague accompaniment of some Satiesque music from the video installation across the hall, led to an unusual feeling of distress. It was placed with a chair from the dining room of Sanatorium Purkersdorf, of which this photo elicited a similar response. Perhaps I have been dwelling too much on the Edwardians lately ...
