0. Hello, Im Robin Lustig, your host for BBC World Drama. For the next hour we
continue our Classic Gothic Horror, Liz Lockheads Dracula. Mr Ramfield. Im here. Doctor, if you leave me alone and scared I wont let em in. Ill be with my darling Nina for four or five days before I go off on my business trip abroad. To see your foreign noble? Its Count Dracula.

1. Its certain years. I think this is a wonderful recording. Its a real return to form for
her. I think occasionally in recent years shes become a slight exaggeration of what she once was but this is just absolutely stunning playing. She is playing the first piano concerto and um, its a really, really exciting recording.

2. Its eleven oclock now, BBC radio 3 and time for the essay. As part of our new
series Greek and Latin Voices, the first of our programmes exploring the greatest writers of ancient Rome. Maria White introduces the series and its first subjects, the Latin poet Horace.

3. Lust Caution won a Golden Globe Award in Venice last September. It also broke
box office records in its opening days in Hong-Kong and in Ang Lees native Taiwan. Lust Caution is adapted from a short story by the Chinese American writer Aileen Chan.

4. Many people reckon that Irish stew and corn beef and cabbage are the classic
traditional Irish dishes. But actually many more people eat bacon and cabbage and parsley sauce and love it to bits, just like me. So the first thing youve got to do is find yourself a nice bit of bacon and Id like to ask um my butcher to give me a piece that actually has the rind on the back and a nice little covering of fat, because the fat will make it lovely and sweet and juicy. 5. This is one of two sites Ive chosen to grow my vegetables. Its ideal. Its close to the house, so I can have a real kitchen garden and, it faces due south so, it gets the sun from 9 till five. I decided that the very best way to make use of this limited space was to build 8, 8 by 4-deep beds. These beds were originally used to raise plants for my nursery.
