    Someone to Watch Over Me

    In the first programme of this series of Short Cuts, Josie Long presents a selection of short documentaries which peel back the curtain, peer into the darkness and look out at those who are watching us. By turns delightful and unsettling, today's audio adventures include the secret games teachers play when they're invigilating exams, a photographer whose ambition is to capture 'still lives' of people unawares in their homes at night, and a glimpse of the devices you can buy to spy on those supposedly close to you. The items featured in the programme are: Someone to Watch Over Me Produced by Sara Parker Stand by Me Produced by Benjamin Partridge I Was Bruce Lee Produced by Leo Hornak Cracking the Love Code Produced by Bob Carlson All Eyes on Us Produced by Steve Urquhart She Sees Your Every Move Produced by Jonathan Mitchell Produced by Eleanor McDowall A Falling Tree production for BBC Radio 4.

    Taking Flight

    Josie Long presents a selection of short documentaries in which people hurl themselves into the air with the hope of taking flight. We glide through the air, fall into the sea and explore grand leaps of the imagination, which cross the border between dreaming and reality. From comedian Holly Walsh's tale of hurtling off the edge of a pier in a handmade helicopter, through to the story of a trapeze artist balancing on the edge of falling as he casts himself upwards.
