Jarvis recalls the imagery he used to memorise Inversnaid and later recites it by heart. Events On This Day: the Battle of Bosworth Field, the English Civil War, the first Geneva Convention, the formation of the Red Cross, a notorious theft of the Mona Lisa, St Columba sighting the Loch Ness Monster, and the BBC's experiment with TV broadcasting. Tim Smit talks about the Eden Project, which he emphasises is a joint effort. He thinks we'll remember this time as a renaissance, an awakening of environmentalism. He quotes some enlightening questions his daughter asked him. He also shares some leftfield views on globalisation and multiculturalism. Birthdays: Dorothy Parker (reading Lady's Reward and Résumé), Annie Proulx, Dale Hawkins, Honor Blackman, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Ron Dante, Steve Davis, John Lee Hooker, Ray Bradbury (Jarvis reads from Fahrenheit 451). Valete: Al Dvorin ('Elvis has left the building') and Jacob Bronowski (on Joyce and Lawrence).
