Radio Pick of the Day:
"The battle lines are drawn on Radio 4 this afternoon for a cultural and romantic war between the sexes. The battleground is Leila Aboulela's Caine Prize-winning short story - adapted by the author - about two students, Bryan (David Tennant) from Scotland, and Shadia (Wendy Baxter) from the Sudan, who meet at a Scottish university.
The pair find themselves attracted to each other, despite Shadia's obvious disapproval of Bryan's looks and views on Africa - until a museum trip brings matters to a head."
