Ben: We’ve even got a discussion about the world’s most famous teenager - Miley Cyrus! Nicky: Great! Let’s start the show! Track 2: The Amazing Life of … Gandhi

Narrator: It’s 1879, in India. Gandhi lives with his family in a comfortable home. Mother: That boy is always reading. He will get a good job. Father: Perhaps he will be a lawyer. Narrator: At school, there is a spelling test. A Government Inspector is watching. Narrator: Gandhi can’t spell one of the words. The teacher notices. Teacher: Look, Mohandas, you’ve got one wrong. Copy from the boy next to you. Gandhi: But that’s cheating, sir! Narrator: But Gandhi isn’t always a ‘good’ child! He’s a Hindu, and Hindus don’t eat meat, but one day ... Friend: Hey, Mohandas – have a piece of chicken. It’s delicious! Gandhi: OK! Narrator: In 1882, Gandhi gets married. He is thirteen. Narrator: It’s 1893. Gandhi is now a lawyer. He goes to work in South Africa. One day, on a train … Guard: Get out of first class! Coloureds travel in third class! Gandhi: I have a first class ticket. I’m a lawyer. Guard: Get out of this carriage or I’ll throw you off the train. Narrator: Gandhi is shocked at the difficult life of Indians in South Africa. Gandhi: These rules are not fair. I must stay here and help my people.

Narrator: Newspapers around the world report on Gandhi’s protests in South Africa. Newspaper seller 1: Times! Gandhi fights anti-Indian laws! Times! Newspaper seller 2: Get the Post! Gandhi leads non-violent protests! Buy the Post! Newspaper seller 3: Read all about it! Gandhi wins! South Africa changes its laws! Narrator: Gandhi wins the fight and decides to leave South Africa. Gandhi: Now I must go home. India needs me. Narrator: It’s 1918. The British rule India. Life for the Indian people is difficult. Gandhi: Friends, the British think they are better than us. We cannot start our own businesses. We cannot get a good education. We must fight for independence! Gandhi: Tomorrow will be a ‘No-Work Day’ in all of India. We will all stay at home and fast. We will win with our non-violent protest. Friend: You are a good man – we will call you ‘Mahatma’ – Great Soul. Narrator: The British put a tax on salt. When poor Indian people take salt from the beach, they have to give money to the British. Gandhi leads the Salt March. Gandhi: Watch me break the law. Judge: You will go to prison! Gandhi: Good! Now I can have a rest. Narrator: It’s 15th August, 1947, in Delhi, India. After 90 years of British government, India wins independence! Shouts from the crowd: We are free! Long Live Mahatma Gandhi! Narrator: But Gandhi is not celebrating ... Gandhi: This is a very dangerous time. Muslims and Hindus are fighting. I will not eat until the violence stops. Narrator: It’s ten past five on 30th January, 1948, in Delhi. The violence between Muslims and Hindus stops. Gandhi is very thin. He comes to talk to the people. BUT…. Gandhi: Oh God! ... Oh God! Track 3: Crown Phone-In

Ben: In CROWN magazine, you can read about Miley Cyrus. She plays Hannah Montana – and is now also a famous pop star herself. Miley has a famous family. And, in today’s CROWN Radio 3 CROWN CD SEPT 09 FINAL 9/7/09 17:55 Page 4

Phone-In we’re asking: Which member of the Cyrus family is a better singer, Miley or Trace? And our first caller is on the line … Hello? What’s your name? Chloe: Hello. I’m Chloe. Ben: Hi, Chloe. So, who do you like – Miley Cyrus or Trace Cyrus? Chloe: I like Miley. I think she’s a great singer. She’s a really good actor too. Ben: Are you a big Hannah Montana fan? Chloe: Oh yes! Ben: Have you got a favourite song? Chloe: Mm … I’d have to say ‘Best of Both Worlds’. Ben: And what do you think of Miley’s brother, Trace Cyrus? Chloe: I think Metro Station are OK, but I’m not crazy about him. I can’t stand his tattoos – they’re gross! Ben: So you quite like his music, but … Chloe: … I don’t like his style – he’s a dork! Ben: OK, thank you, Chloe! And next on the line we have … Sean! Hi, Sean. Sean: Hi. Ben: So who’s better – Miley or Trace? Sean: Trace. I think he’s a brilliant singer, and his band rocks! Ben: What about Miley? Sean: I’m sick of Miley Cyrus, because my sister’s the biggest Hannah Montana fan ever. We’ve got Hannah everywhere in our house! On the TV, on the CD player, on the computer … Ben: Don’t you like her music? Sean: … Hannah Montana magazines, Hannah Montana posters, Hannah Montana books … Ben: So … erm Sean … you don’t like … Sean: She’s even got a Hannah Montana toothbrush! A toothbrush! I mean … Ben: OK, thanks, Sean. I think Sean isn’t a fan of Hannah Montana. Our final caller is Ruby. Hello there, Ruby! Ruby: Hello, Ben! Ben: Who do you like, then – Miley or Trace? Ruby: I like Trace. He’s got a fantastic voice, and he’s cool! Ben: And do you like Metro Station’s music? 4 CROWN CD SEPT 09 FINAL 9/7/09 17:55 Page 5

Ruby: Yes – I’m listening to ‘Shake It’ now! Ben: What do you think of Miley? Ruby: I don’t really like her voice. But I like her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus – well, my mum likes him!! Ben: Thanks, Ruby – our last caller for now. So we’ve had fans of all the Cyrus family ... Who’s YOUR favourite? Track 4: On the Streets

Ben: And now, school news. What time do you start school? Eight o’clock? Nine o’clock? How about eleven o’clock? A head teacher in England wants school to start at eleven o’clock. Why? Because young people study better later in the day. An Oxford University professor says that it is difficult for young people to get up early and study in the morning. This is not because teenagers are lazy; it is because of your body clock - it’s different from an adult’s! Nicky: Our CROWN Radio reporter is in London. She wants to know: What time would you like to start school? Reporter: Hello. I’m from CROWN Radio. Can I ask you a few questions about school? Josh: No problem! Reporter: Great! What’s your name? Josh: I’m Josh. Reporter: So, Josh, what time do you get up? Josh: I have to get up at seven because I live a long way from my school. It’s really hard. Reporter: Would you like to start school later? Josh: Definitely! I’m half asleep when I get to school. I don’t learn anything in the morning. Reporter: What time would you like to start? Josh: Ten thirty would be OK. Then I could get up at nine – that would be fantastic! Reporter: Thanks, Josh … Reporter: Hello. Can I ask you some questions about school? It’s for CROWN radio. Georgia: Sure. Reporter: What’s your name? Georgia: Georgia. Reporter: What time do you get up, Georgia? 5 CROWN CD SEPT 09 FINAL 9/7/09 17:55 Page 6

Georgia: I usually get up at eight … sometimes a bit earlier. Reporter: Would you like to start school later? Georgia: No, nine o’clock is fine for me. I live near the school, so I don’t have to get up too early. And I’m a morning person, so I study better before lunch. But I sometimes feel sleepy in the afternoon! Reporter: That’s great, Georgia – thanks very much! Hi. I’m from CROWN radio. Can I ask you a few questions about school? Nathan: OK. Reporter: Thanks. So, what’s your name? Nathan: It’s Nathan. Reporter: So, Nathan, what time do you get up? Nathan: Half past seven. Reporter: Would you like to start school later? Nathan: Yes, please! Reporter: What time would you like to start? Nathan: I’d like to start at twelve thirty, then have lunch for an hour, then finish at two o’clock! Reporter: Hi. Can I ask you some questions about school? It’s for CROWN radio. Ellie: Yes. Reporter: Thanks. So, what’s your name? Ellie: Ellie. Reporter: OK. What time do you get up, Ellie? Ellie: Half past six, in the week. Reporter: Would you like to start school later? Ellie: Hm, I don’t think so, no. I feel a bit tired in the morning, but I wouldn’t like to finish school later. I wouldn’t have any free time in the evenings! Reporter: Thank you, Ellie. So, some students would like to start at eleven, but some are happy to start at nine! That’s all from London. Back to the studio!

CROWN NOVEMBER / DECEMBER 2009 Track 5: Introductions

Ben: CROWN November / December 2009 Nicky: Welcome back to CROWN radio! Ben: On today’s show, we’ve got our cartoon – about Queen Victoria. Nicky: And we’re talking about the second Twilight film, New Moon. Ben: But first we’ve got a story about my favourite subject! Nicky: What’s that, Ben? Ben: It’s chocolate! Nicky: Yum! So, let’s start! Track 6: On the Streets

Nicky: Chocolate! We love it! But we’re eating too much of it. Ben: A few years ago, a bar of chocolate was a treat. Nicky: Now, many people eat chocolate every day ... Ben: And we’re all getting fatter... and fatter! Nicky: One Scottish doctor has an idea. Dr David Walker says ... Ben: Put a tax on chocolate! Nicky: A tax? Why? Because if chocolate costs more, we won’t buy so much. Ben: How much chocolate do you eat? Our CROWN reporter, Myles, is on the streets of London. Myles: Hi, Ben. I’m in Barnet in London. I’ve got three pupils with me - Lily, Craig and Kate. They finished school half an hour ago, and they’re eating snacks. Let’s talk to them. Teens: Hi ya! Hi! Myles: So, who likes chocolate? Teens: Yes! Me! Myles: Lily, let’s start with you. How much chocolate do you eat a week? Lily: Well, I eat a bar of chocolate every day at school. And then in the house we always have

7 CROWN CD SEPT 09 FINAL 9/7/09 17:55 Page 8

chocolate biscuits, so I often have a chocolate biscuit when I come back from school. Myles: So that’s seven bars a week – plus all the biscuits! Lily: Yeah, I know it’s bad for me … but I love it! Myles: Craig, what about you? You’re eating crisps. Do you eat much chocolate? Craig: No way. Sometimes I have a bar of chocolate from the vending machine. But only if I’m really hungry! I eat chocolate about once a week. Myles: And, this is Kate. Kate, are you a chocoholic? Kate: Yes! If I have a test or some homework, I like to have some chocolate! It helps me! Craig: Kate always has a bar of chocolate in her locker! Myles: What do you all think about a tax on chocolate? Kate: A tax on chocolate? That’s a crazy idea. Why? Myles: The idea is to stop people eating chocolate. So they will make chocolate expensive. Craig: That’s not fair! Lily: Yes, there are already so many controls about what we eat today. Leave chocolate alone! Kate: Yes! We don’t want a tax on chocolate! Myles: So that’s not a popular idea here. Back to the studio! Track 7: The Amazing Life of … Queen Victoria

Narrator: It’s Germany, in 1819. The Duke and Duchess of Kent are travelling to London. Duchess of Kent: Let’s go to England after the baby is born. Duke of Kent: No, my dear. This is the future Queen of England. She must be born in London. Duke of Kent: I like the name Alekandrina Duchess of Kent: I want to call her Victoria! Narrator: It’s 1835, at Kensington Palace, London. Young Victoria is bored! Victoria: Why can’t I have friends of my age? Why do I have to sleep in my mother’s bedroom? Governess: Your mother wants to protect you. Victoria: Huh! She wants to control me! Narrator: It’s 5 o’clock in the morning, on 19th June, 1837. Lord Chancellor: Your uncle, the King, has died, Your Majesty. You are Queen of Great Britain. Victoria: Now I can have my own bedroom! 8 CROWN CD SEPT 09 FINAL 9/7/09 17:55 Page 9

Albert: You are the head of state, Victoria. Why are you playing on the floor? Victoria: You are right, Albert. I must be more serious. Narrator: It’s 1851, at the Great Exhibition, in Hyde Park, London. Victoria: Albert, well done! This is a wonderful exhibition and it looks like a fairy-tale palace. Albert: It’s making a lot of money too. We can use the money to build museums for everyone. Narrator: It’s 14th December, 1861, at Windsor Castle. Child: Father! Don’t die!

Ricky says, “I’m afraid of clowns. When I was six, a clown looked right into my face. I had bad dreams for years after that!” Ricky, I agree with you. Clowns are strange! I’m afraid of them too! Nicky: Now, on the line, we’ve got Hayley. She’s calling from Kent. Hi, Hayley. Hayley: Hi, Nicky. I’m only afraid of one thing! Nicky: What’s that, Hayley? Hayley: School exams! Nicky: Ha ha! Thanks, Hayley! That’s all we’ve got time for. Thanks for all your calls and texts.
