Pick of the day

Tomorrow marks the 10th anniversary of the death of the playwright Sarah Kane. In Blasted (11.30am, Radio 4), fellow writer Dan Rebellato looks at her life and work. Contributors include Michael Billington, who says he was so shocked by her first play, Blasted, in 1995, that he wrote what he considers in retrospect an overly "glib" review. And Mark Ravenhill recalls offering her a job as writer-in-residence at the Paines Plough theatre group when she had achieved nationwide notoriety, but still didn't have a regular income.

Old Harry's Game (6.30pm, Radio 4) returns for its seventh season; and it's mayhem as usual in Hell. Satan wants to reduce his head count by 75% (health and safety regulations), but needs the go-ahead from Him Upstairs. Meanwhile, an incontinent dog has inexplicably been dispatched to the underworld. Extremely silly, yes, but diabolically funny.

The new series of Analysis (8.30pm, Radio 4) asks whether people have an ingrained need to travel, and what this means for transport policy and our carbon footprints.
