  • R4 Farming Today at Peterhead talking Brexit

    What is the likely impact of Brexit on UK fisheries? Charlotte Smith visits Peterhead, the UK's largest fish market, in north east Scotland. Charlotte attends the early morning fish market at Peterhead, humming with activity, as 7,000 boxes of freshly caught fish are sold. Among the twenty varieties under the hammer are some huge halibuts, one of them over 100kg in weight, caught as far north as the Faroe Isles. She meets Jimmy Buchan of BBC2's 'Trawlermen' series who reflects on the longterm impact of the EU's Common Fisheries Policy, which led to Peterhead's fleet being cut by over 40% ten years ago. But he's optimistic about the opportunities for fisheries beyond Brexit. Charlotte also speaks to Fisheries Minister George Eustice who lays out his plans for 'reclaiming UK waters'. Meanwhile, the Peterhead Port Authority is undertaking a £50M infrastructure project that will reshape the port's facilities and fish market for the future.

  • Fishwives Choir gets a shout out Down Under!

    09/12/2013

    ELIZABETH JACKSON: I'm going to finish this program in the way we started it, with Philip Williams. Only this time the mood is quite different - you could almost say festive. In the UK, the race to the music charts' Christmas number one is almost as highly anticipated as Santa's arrival himself. In the 60 years since the official UK Singles Chart began, the top spot has been claimed by a wide range of artists from The Beatles to The Spice Girls to Pink Floyd. It hasn't been without its controversies, as our Europe correspondent Phil Williams explains. ('Christmas Is All Around', from 'Love Actually' soundtrack plays) PHILIP WILLIAMS: As a pretty ordinary harmonica player and an even worse singer, my dreams of a number one record have receded with my hairline. But someone has to claim that shifting crown, and at Christmas in Britain there's a distinctly un-Christmas-y scramble for number one honours. Remember the movie 'Love Actually'?
