We make up to 35,000 decisions, every day. – so it’snot surprising that decision fatigue can lead to Bad Decisions.

In politics, sport, war and business, such flawed choices have triggered dramatic consequences, and changed our world.

Box 39 puts on its lucky pants, and investigates.  With great music too, of course.

With Bill Lawrance, Adrian Coen and Craig Barker.

The World's biggest car park? Or the engineering adventure that has boosted the economy, helped the rave scene, and generated its own iconic status?

Join Bill as he drives around the second biggest bypass in the world, stopping only for a pasty and a strong coffee.

With brilliant music too, of course!

Bill is in Singapore, in south-east Asia, at Colne Radio listeners’ expense, to discover the history, the people and the places that make up the vibrant City-State that was named from the words Singa meaning Lion and Pura meaning City.  He travels on the driverless trains, gets caught in a rainstorm and visits a comedy club.  And finds out if chewing gum is illegal.

And with great music, of course.

With Bill Lawrance

The Yorkshire 3 Peaks Walk is a demanding trek across rugged terrain, covering 24 miles and summiting three of the highest mountains in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Join Bill, Iain and Adrian, and the outstanding beauty, rolling hills, and scenic valleys of Yorkshire, as they climb Pen-y-ghent, then Whernside, and finally Ingleborough - to try to complete this tough and challenging adventure within 12 hours. 

And with great music, of course.

With Bill Lawrance,  Adrian Coen and Iain Tallentire.

Bahowo is a small fishing village, by the South China Sea, on the Indonesian Island of Sulawesi, on the equator, to the east of Borneo and to the north of Java. 

It’s a tropical paradise, of rain forest, warm clear seas, mangroves and volcanoes. 

Bahowo may be nearly 8000 miles from northeast Essex and Colne Radio Towers but like here in the UK, it is where people work, and play, help each other, are happy and sometimes sad, where they celebrate and mourn, and where they live alongside each other. 

At the heart of this community is Bahowo School, from where children of Bahowo have written their tales for us.

With Bill Lawrance, Adrian Coen, The Baroness Janet Fookes, Phil Boast, Paula Larcher, Sebastian and Cicha, and the children of Bahowo.
